Just posted an updated overview of my 570... curious what you guys think, and if everyone else has had reliability problems I haven't encountered? That **dang squeak is still driving me nuts, and I've probably blown the shocks out by now. :grin

Was thinking of grabbing a Can Am 570 do some comparison videos, or ditch the 570 class altogether and jump to Sportsman 1000. I still think this is one of the best bikes for the money though, even if I have to replace a bearing or two. (the guys on the Hondas are still lagging behind, sore from rides the 570 just glides over, etc... I know the Honda will still be running in 20 years, but the Polaris is way more fun!)

Edit: how the heck do you embed youtube videos!?! I filmed how the first service videos, repairs, etc... with a high end camera that will help some people out if I can figure out how to share them here

Thought I'd share my recent install experiences with the Direction 2 fenders :

DIRECTION 2 INC. - OUTLANDER 400

Overall really positive, I knew they weren't "for" my bike, but I needed some/any extra protection from the mud/water my tires throw, so I nabbed a set off ebay for ~$130 shipped and set out to see what I'd need to address to make 'em work.

The fender set is said for the 06+/"Gen1" Can-Am bikes, mines an older 05 Bombardier, but I knew they're very close, relatively, so I figured I could make it happen.

The front fenders were a direct fit, no issues at all. Remove the screw holding the lower footwell to the upper fender and the corresponding hole on the overfenders lines everything up for you to drill and secure. You only need a 1/4" drill bit, phillips screwdriver, and 10mm wrench, to install these, btw.

The rear fenders required a little more modification, however. The alignment screw that secures the lower footwell to the upper fender is out of place on the overfenders. I'm not sure if that's an issue on their end, or the bikes change that location from one year to the next. It's not that big a deal, tho, honestly. Just hold the rear fender up into position, and use the rearmost kick-down, along with the turndown at the front, to position the fender into where it's going to sit, and drill a new hole in the fender, through that existing hole on the bike. After that, it's again, just a matter of snugging the fenders against where they're going to mount, and drilling the corresponding hole.

Biggest issue faced: On my XT, the way they angled up the rear bumper brace, it cuts right through the area where the rear "mudflaps" would otherwise hang, so I had to cut a channel out of the mudflap, approx 1.5" by 3-4", so they could be pulled up/back, into the bikes existing fenders, for securing. Not that big a deal, but worth noting.

Again, overall pleased, the hardware mimics the OE hardware, they look like they came on the bike from the factory. Due to the spacers I chose, lol, they still don't completely cover the tires, but every little bit helps, right?

I was wondering if i could use outboard sae90 bottom end oil in my polaris transmission gearcase instead of the synthetic polaris gear lube

I suspect my rev limiter is giving me a problem. When i go to reverse it dies. If I hold over ride button it doe not.I disconnect the black wire as described in another post and everything is ok in any gear, but it will not shut off.I plug black wire back in and will turn off.All my switches and indicator light are working. Any suggestions ?

Anyone have or seen one of these in person? I think it'd be perfect for picking up the front end and moving the quad, but from the pictures, it looks really cheap. I'm afraid it'd bend the first time I tried to pick up the quad with it.

Just got my new HD10 Max. Wanting to know the biggest tire I can put on it with out a lift. Thanks Joe from Cabot AR.

Anyone else notice this, I noticed it from almost brand new. Never thought about it till bleeding them the other day.
Does anyone have any idea why the rear fluid seems different than straight DOT4 colour. Did they use mineral oil for the rear from the factory or something?

Im 61 years old, have owned several atvs and side by sides. Last week I decided to buy a new Can AM sport, walked into the show room and noticed the 2019 Sport 1000R xmr and it looked so awesome i decided to buy it. Well got it home and drove it for the first time today, maybe its me but this thing is pretty loud and its hitting 7000 rpm and only going around 45 mph, Im not sure what red line is, am i going to over rev this thing to get it up to 55?

I did drive the regular 60 inch sport a couple weeks earlier and was very impressed so I thought getting this 64 inch wide machine would be as nice or even better for trail riding once i change the tires out which I already ordered (Kanati Mongrels).

Well Its no where near the side by side i thought i was getting, it seems to be much louder than the 60 inch sport, its geared very low apparently which will make driving on the dirt roads around here not so much fun. I have it in the sport mode and on trail which should be the best performance for trail and road so Im wondering if i truly made a HUGE $25,0000.00 mistake?????

Will I ruin this machine going 45 to 55 on our dirt roads here in Montana? Should I consider selling it at a loss and get the regular sport?
