Xrc

Just got my new Mav Sport XRC yesterday. Anything specific I need to look for as I break it in? I did notice it backfires a little with the engine braking.

AMS Slingshot XT or Pro Armor Daggers

I'm trying to get some feedback from anyone who is willing to give it. I'm a new 2018 Sportsman 850 owner who is looking to upgrade tires/wheels. I've settles on the wheels which will be the ITP SS212 in Matt Black (4/3 offset front) I love the way they look and they have a lifetime bend/break warranty which is huge in my opinion. Note: Current Tires are CST 26x8x14 Front, and 26x10x14 Rear)

But, I've been all over the place with which tires and which size to go with. I seem to be continuously finding myself going back to the AMS Slingshot XT. Tons of reviews and video's, etc and I've literally read nothing negative. The largest they come in is a 26x9x14 front and 26x11x14 rear (I emailed AMS to verify). Then I stumble upon the Pro Armor Daggers in 27x9x14 front and 27x11x14 rear. Damn do they look good. But NOTHING on reviews and its like the tires just came out yesterday. There is almost nothing on the interwebs about this tire. No Reviews, No Video's, No Forum discussions, etc.

My question is, considering everything above and the fact I will be using these tires for trail riding here in Michigan where there is everything from mud, sand, hardpack, and I will be headed to the sand dunes on the west side of the state 1 time a year. What are everyone's thoughts?

Thank you so much for the reading the long post and your feedback in advance.

New 2018 Sportsman 850 Owner

After much debate and looking I landed on the Sportsman 850. I was able to get a closeout model for an extremely good price. Now i'm looking to upgrade the stock tires and am having issues choosing which ones to go with. I'm currently debating between the AMS Slingshot XT and the Pro Armor Daggers. The problem with the Daggers is that there are NO reviews and very little talk on the internet about them.

Was able to use it a few time son the ice this year for fishing, but cant wait to get it out on the trails and later this year a trip to the Sand Dunes.

500 choke adjustment

The choke cable broke on my 2000 Sportsman 500 and I've got the new one installed. Unfortunately, I did not look closely at how it was adjusted before I removed it, and there is a LOT of adjustment available on the new cable. Anybody know where to start??? And how critical is the adjustment???
