Hey All,
So I have a 18' 850 SP with the arched a-arms. I ordered front and rear guards off of Babbitts that they said would fit. Part # 288067 and Part # 2880644.

These seem to be for flat arms and I'm not sure they fit my vehicle. I don't want to completely tear the packaging apart that holds all the bolts and nuts if I have to return them. After some more searching it seems like these are for the xp regular a-arms and don't actually fit my quad.

Can anyone offer any input into this? Is there a part number for the arched ones? Do I need to go totally aftermarket?

Thanks in advance!

I want to give my opinion on the SuperATV Assassinator, specifically the 29.5x8x14's.

The tire measures a true 29.5" tall at 7psi, and weighs in at a decent 53 pounds.

Some back story; My bike came with 33lb 28" ITP Mega Mayhems, so the weight difference wasn't very noticeable (7% change in final drive ratio, 46% heavier), though it has helped unsprung weight and lowering the center of gravity. I picked up these tires and a set of rims online, and installed them on my 650. Initial results were incredible, as they pull and pull through places I BURIED my bike weeks before. Without touching the clutching, the bike is quicker as it can now put the power to the ground.

Lets start with mounting. I mounted these on standard 14" 5+2 wheels by hand, with little difficulty. I used dish soap and tire irons, with each taking about 5 minutes max. Seating the bead does take some patience and a high flow of air, make sure the tires are warm or they are stiff and impossible to seat.

Hard pack/road riding: Gravel does get a little squirrely above 70kmh, but with such a small contact patch, that's not at all surprising. On the road they grip and hold, and they are very smooth, with just the typical knobby-ness noticeable only below 5mph and a small vibration/shudder in the bars.

Grip: Mud, check! Snow, Check! the only place these tires arent the best is pure ice, which again, is expected. If you have snow, mud, grass, stone, or anything it can grab in front of you, you can bet they will hook up and send it out the back as you power up and over or through everything. I have yet to get stuck with these tires.

Down Side: These tires if you are throttle happy and stuck will dig everything out from under you. Throttle control will take you anywhere though.

I hope that helps any of you with the decision, as there arent much for reviews out there. Oh, and no they dont rub anywhere on my outlander :grin

Have a 2016 650 Outlander DPS kept at my cabin in Utah. Only has around 300 miles since I bought it new so not much experience with it. Mounted a Denali plow on it for 2018 winter and we got no snow last season.

We've made up for it this year. Got to cabin last night around 9 PM to find a foot or more of layered, ice hard frozen snow on steep driveway. It struggled a bit pushing a blade full uphill but made short work of clearing a long, steep driveway so I could get my truck up towing a heavy utility trailer loaded with flooring and my son's quad.

This quad is a beast at nearly 65hp!!! My son's new Polaris 450 has 33hp and you can feel the difference just driving it around with no plow on it at all.

Loving this Can Am!!!!

Hey everybody

New to belt drives and I`m also doing a search, Im sure this has been discussed but I`m going to pick up a couple of belts (one for a spare just in case) and I was wondering what everybodys favorite belt is?
Running an 07 400
Thanks

2013 850 EFI is there anyway to lower the idle RPM? Mine is tad high and hard to shift. Thanks

Who has done this themselfs? Got a set of 26 inch Stu blasters I’m wanting to try this on because of the price I got them at. Mainly concerned about the depth of the cut before seeing cords. Anyone?

What you guys think? Look normal or could it be the root of my vibration issue....give me your thoughts.

Where can you find a wrap 2019 base 570? Having trouble finding the 2019s. Or will 2018 work? Thanks
