Hi, New to the forum. I just picked up a 2018 570 SP. I bought this model for trail riding and just for some fun. I liked the EPS and EBS features (and Im not gonna lie, the color). Appreciate any recommendations on accessories. I have been looking at front and rear bumpers as well as hand guards. Thanks

I have a 1996 sportsman 500 rebuilt top end new carb new starter. all levels good. but it idles perfect and wont rev up till full temp on radiator. any ideas why?

Does anybody have one and whatcha think and does it come with the attachments that mount it to the rack?

I’ve had my 2017 Can Am Outlander XMR 850 for about 3 months now with only 50 hours. When I first had the bike it rode like a dream. However, now, I have an extreme issue with the front suspension. Recently, when I drive, the bike feels as if someone is hitting the frame of the bike with a hammer when the front shocks top out (tires come off the ground). As soon as the suspension reaches full extension (front), sounds like a loud knock on the frame. I have already messed around with the preload, but this has not solved anything. I have set the preload, to where my springs are completely loose, and I still have the same noise when the suspension reaches full extension. Also, I have taken off the shocks from the bike, and the Fox Podium Shocks are super hard to compress! I can’t compress these shocks with my life! Is this even normal? Are my shocks blown? Are you able to compress them by hand? Please I need your help! I can’t drive with this problem, it literally hits my frame hard when I hit a bump. I’ve seen a couple of threads with my similar issue but no solution. Please help!

Hi I have the cover off and the rockers seem to lift the same. Is there a way to measure lift without cam removal, if so how ? If I have to replace the cam what do you recommend ? 99 Big Boss 500
thanks.

Hi there people I will likely just lurk for a while as I am still trying to decide if I want a Can-Am, Honda or Polaris, though l am leaning heavily towards Can-Am because we have local dealer and their current incentives. Right now the Can-Am is offering a 5 year warrantee on the L series which the 570 apparently falls into so I am currently leaning very heavily toward the Outlander 570 Hunter addition. It to me looks like one heck of a good deal.

I've owed a 2005 Outlander 500 and Sportsman 850. I was honestly happy with both. Right now I am trying to figure out if want another ATV or not. Ok that's now really true I want one but which one.

I keep thinking the 650 XT might be nice for the extra power but am still on the fence. Also thinking of the Max in either the 570 or the 650 so that I have room for my or daughter to come out with me occasionally. I don't really think either of them will come out that often so wonder if it's worth getting or just get a seat for the rear rack for the few times they come with me. So if any of you have any experience between the 570 and the 650 or the single seat vs the Max I would honestly appreciate some user insight.

Thanks in advance.

How much of a pain in the butt is it?

Just traded for a 1996 Magnum 425. The PO stated it would run for a while then stop. After cleaning plug it would run again. WRONG! Tore into fuel system. No gas in the system except for about 2 gallons of awful smelling old gas!. I'll be posting in the forums before long as I go thru it. Happy to find this forum. Looking forward to interacting.
