Let me start by saying that I have a Stock 2017 Outlander 850 Max XTP with a full ricochet skid setup.

I noticed after a few trips of fast trail riding and some launches off pits, rocks, etc... (roughly 1000 miles) that I had wear marks on my rear axles from hitting the Ricochet rear axle skids. They were anodized black so I can see right where they are hitting. My buddy has the 2018 XTP with ricochets and has the same marks from hitting the axles. I spoke with Ricochet and they said I had an older revision and I can grind them down or have them send me new ones, I chose the new ones. Out of the box they are identical and after a trip this weekend I am having the same issues of hitting. The only thing I can think of is that the XTP had more travel over the factory shocks causing this issue. Has anyone else run into this and have for altered anything to make it work? I am going to make a longer "L" bracket where it attaches by the hub to lower the skid for more clearance. Any help or info would be greatly appreciated!

Blew the front diff on my 08 sportsman x2 500 and it's $1650 for a new one with the adc. Will a diff from the same year without adc bolt in and wire in easily? Are they compatable? Trying to save a few bucks because I will never use the adc. Thanks for any help

05 sportsman efi 700

been doing this for a few years now and i cant remember but i thought when i bought it, it cranked somewhat faster.

tried different batterys, currently have a car battery hooked in series with atv battery but it still cranks slower than i think it should. it does start, but sounds like it barely starts. in the winter on first start of the day (below freezing) it usually barely fires, stalls and stays started the 2nd attempt. hot engine, cold engine dont matter, slow crank.

tried a db electric new starter with no change.

anything else i can try?

So I've got my wheeler tore apart to fix handlebar play which was magnified by wheel bearings which just fell apart on the floor once I removed the hub. Now I am thinking about a lift kit now that I've got half the work done.

My question is: What is the better lifts to look at installing?

Hey guys I have a hd10 four seater and I love this thing. I do a lot of hunting and working with it and it’s a brute!!! Problem I have is duck season is coming up and the water can get a little deep for it. What lift and tires can I go with but not hurt the ride quality?

I need an engine for my 2012 550 X2. Let me know what you have, and what you want for it.

A friend of mine just acquired a couple "new to her" machines upon my urging. She has seen some of the pics my wife has posted on Facebook and contacted me wanting to know what she should buy, where she should buy it, and what kind of money would she be talking about. I have continued to look off and on around our area and on craigslist since March even after purchasing what we have. I have friends that I have been trying to talk into buying something so they could come riding with us. One of my friends who I have sent multiple listings to called me Thursday night and told me he saw a couple of Outlander 570's listed on craigslist for what looked to be a pretty good deal. I was finishing up an unsuccessful day of hunting and told him I would check it out when I got home. Sure enough a guy was listing 2 2016 can am 570 outlander 2-up machines with 700 miles on them, just had the 500 mile service at the dealership, both with Warn winches, both have the large can am cargo box on the rear, and the little small cargo box that fits under the rear seat when removed on the front. He had them listed at $6500 each, so I called her and told her about it, being recently divorced she said she was tired of sitting around feeling sorry for herself and needed something to do so she bought them both, they will be delivered to her tomorrow morning. I will get some pics and share when she gets them. One white the other one yellow, she is pretty excited about it, will be fun to have her join us on the trails.

I just purchased a Polaris 425 magnum 4x4 so I’m sure I’ll need some info from you seasoned veterans

2015 Sportsman 570. When I turn the key, the fuel pump no longer primes. The engine turns over, but doesn't start.

It is getting over 12 volts for approximately 3 seconds at the pump plug, and there is continuity it the fuel pump.

What am I missing? ECU, relay, fuse?

Thanks in advance.
