Pros and cons of 2019 sway bar

I'm looking at buying a new 2019 650 XT, which have the new front sway bar, and I'm wondering if it is an advantage for all driving styles or only high speed cornering. Most of my riding is lower speed and climbing/descending steep inclines and I'm thinking that the sway bar could reduce traction by lifting the opposite wheel if one wheel climbs a rock during a climb. Ideally, the sway bar would be dis-connected at low speed and engage only for higher speeds, but I don't think it is designed that way. Thoughts?

Thanks,
Dave

2012 XMR compressor access

Just got my first XMR so I apologize if this is a stupid question....where can I access the ACS compressor to connect an air hose? I've looked online and the only pics/video I can find are for years other than 2012 and what's under their seat does not look like what's under my seat. Any insight is appreciated.

Gas Gauge Cloudy

Hello all,

I tried a search but had no luck. I have a 2005 Outlander Max XT and the gas gauge has gone cloudy to the point where it can't be read. It happened before but would clear itself when I was riding. Not any more. I had a good run a few days ago but the gauge remained cloudy. Any suggestions, comments past experiences would be welcome.

Hello from NSL, UT

Hello. I'm a new owner of a 2019 X3 X RC Turbo R that I placed the order for on 5-16-19. Should be receiving it unfortunately after the Memorial weekend, but the dealer is going to try and have it and the additional items I received and built in time but either way I will be playing with it shortly!

New From Wisconsin

I just signed up today - looks like a great forum with good activity. The question that brought me here is that I bought an Outlander 650 last fall and so far have been loving it. Nice machine! One minor thing that concerns me a bit is the "key" that comes with the machine. Being plastic I'm concerned about the little prongs breaking off and it becoming useless. Also the fact that I only received one key with the machine means I'm totally out of luck if I would somehow manage to lose it. I sometimes take my machine out west to the middle of nowhere, and we all know if anything is ever going to go wrong that is where it will be. Why don't they at least provide a spare key for new owners?
