WTT or buy Sportsman 700 parts need electrical

I obtained a couple 700 sportsmans that are missing the electrical parts and carbs. I would possibly be interested in trading some extra parts I have for the stator, cdi , etc or buy. I am going to take two and make one hopefully so have extra diffs, trans, bottom end, frame, a arms, etc. I havent went through I may need some axles too.

Can I replace 1 tire keeping 3 used ones?

Basically I’m buying a set of beadlocks with bighorn 2.0 and one tire is destroyed, apparently when he took them off the machine because of it they had 700km on them, my questions is would I be able to get away with just buying 1 new tire? Or do I need to buy 2?

2010 Outlander 500 Front Struts

Hello everyone. Just made an account after reading many folks threads on a problem I am having. Have reached out to a dealer and also BRP customer service and have not had much help.

I have the usual problem with the front struts on my 2010 outlander 500xt. I’ve owned it for 5-6 years and it’s been very reliable but over the past couple years the strut “topping out” thump has gotten to where it is not enjoyable to ride.

I’ve looked into aftermarket, nobody manufactures replacements. I’ve talked to the dealer and there is the OEM replacement. I asked if there has been a design change and he said the part number used to end in 1107 and What they sell now ends in 1108. But he does not know what changed.

I do not have a problem ordering new struts from can am. But I would like to know if anyone else has bought new factory struts, with the 1108 part number preferably, and if it solved the problem or if it came back in time again.

I’ve read about the conversion to a arms/shocks as well as the grizzly 600 struts as replacements, but I would rather not go that route if it can be avoided. If it can’t, then I would try the Grizzly struts.

Any input is appreciated!

4×4 in reverse

Why is 4x4 engaged in reverse only available in a high speed? I would think it be more useful for everyone to be in a low speed? Anytime I’ve ever needed to back up and needed 4 wheel, I would have always preferred a slow safe speed......not a warning saying be careful, you’re going to be going fast. I’ve got a ‘04 Sportsman 600. Is there a work around to this?

Fuel issue? ’01 500 H.O.

Ok, so I went over to my brother's to help him with his '01 500 H.O. Duck Unlimited bike.

He couldn't figure out how to remove the choke and throttle cable, to replace the carb. By the time I arrived at his house, he had already ground down an old 12mm and got the choke cable out. I had his throttle cable off in about 2 seconds. Once he saw how it came off, he felt stupid, knowing that he can tear down a chev 350, but couldn't get a Mikuni carb off...haha.

So, we got the replacment carb on, and all the fuel lines on, then turned the key. Bingo-bango, a idling polaris in his garage. We put everything back together, and he took it down the street and it runs like it did when he bought it. We noticed that the small tube coming off the bottom of the carb had a very-very slow fuel drip. When we stopped the engine, the leak stopped.

Everything seems right. Normal idle, nice open throttle, back to normal idle. Just that slow drip.

Any ideas?
