Gear shifter is super loose stuck in gear just wiggles around like it’s not connected to anything please help me out on how to fix
Clunking noise when shifting
Thought I would share some information that I just learned.
I just pulled my engine/gearbox out because of a failure on the rear drive shaft, and I thought that there may be damage inside the gear box. I opened up the gear box and found nothing wrong, but I was able to identify where the clunk sound is coming from after you shift into a new gear. On the top of the shift drum assembly is the index washer (kind of looks like a 5 pointed star), alongside that is the index lever with a roller on one end that goes into the indents of the index washer with a strong spring for tension pushing the roller into the indents. When you shift the shift drum is turned and the index lever is pushed away and then starts to go into the next indent. The clunk that many people have complained about is when that index lever has started to go into the next indent but does not go all the way and then when you start to give it some throttle it clicks the rest of the way into the indent and makes that heavy clunk sound. I don’t see any way to remedy this, sometimes the index lever will slip in the way it should and then the next time it won’t, but the good news is that it does not appear to be causing any damage.

Hi from Canada
Hi all,
My name is Pascal and I'm the new owner of a red 2018 Sportsman 570 EFI. With hunting season just around the corner, I needed to buy a reliable ATV. It's my first recreative ATV (I had a few quad racers before that) so I don't know much about them, hence why I'm subscribing here. I went with Polaris mainly because everyone around me are riding Sportsmans.
It's stock, fresh out of the crate, besides the 2500lbs winch that I had installed. I was told it's a must! The only thing I'm planning to add is an LED bar for night riding and probably a front bumper.
Looking forward to learn a few things here. Cheers.

OEM Can AM Beadlock Wheels or Wheels/Tires–Where to Get Them?
I'm looking for a full spare set of OEM factory OEM Can AM Beadlock Wheels. I have a 2018 Renegade xXC with the 12 inch black wheels/red beadlock rings. I'm hoping for excellent to new condition wheels in the same color. I'd buy a takeoff set with wheels and tires if the price is right.
Where's a good place to look for them? New from Can Am is too much. I tried the for sale forum on this site but I didn't see anything. Are there any other good sites where I can find some?
Quick question--do the wheels from the 2019 xXc models fit? I know they're wider this year but didn't know if they'll still fit other models with the last suspension design or not. I think the wider stance could help handling.

Mounting a 12” LED bar to my sportsman with no bumper. Feasible?
Hi all,
Trying to figure out if I can install a 12'' LED bar on my 2018 sportsman (no bumper) that I picked up this weekend. I saw a lot of DIY installation videos, but none that actually had no front bumper. The center mesh grill opening (see 2nd picture below) is 12'' - Of course, a 12'' LED bar would be a tight fit and would probably require cutting. I could go with a 10'', but I'd rather get a 12'' since they have 2 rows of LEDs.
I'll also probably need to build a custom bracket at this point, which is not an problem.
Has anyone here successful installed one on theirs?
Thanks in advance.

2006 outlander 800 help
I changed the outer secondary clutch and the cam behind it. The belt had broken and the cam was stripped. I got all the parts back on and now when I put it in gear it starts going instantly. Before I had to hit the gas to have it start. I start it in neutral and put it in gear and it either takes off or dies from not having gas. What am I missing? I really don’t have the cash to take it to a shop.
Engine Overheating
I have a 2008 Outlander 650 with approximately 240 Miles on the unit. I have had the unit services by a Can-am dealer almost every year since purchased new. While planting food plots last year and this year the engine light would come on because the unit was overheating. The fan is working and there is a new air filter installed. The dealer said they cant find anything which makes me wonder if I should change the radiator fluid. Any help and or suggestions would be great!
06 sportsman 500 oil leak on valve cover?
Was riding and all of a sudden engine was not running well...looked under and seen a little oil leak from what I think is the valve cover...drive it down the mountain 5 miles and seamed to run fine..parked it just to be safe...would the gasket leak make it run bad for a few minutes?
200? Sportsman X2 500 EFI backfiring
I am possibly using my brothers Sportsman X2 for hunting, but I need to fix it first. Its spitting and sputtering at mid to high rpm. I had this issue with a 500 EFI of mine back in 2007ish and the dealer fixed it under warranty. I think it was the wiring or connector to the sensor in the intake hose by the throttle bottle. Is that the temperature barometric sensor?
Thanks.
Thanks.
