Hey guys, I’m new to having to maintain my own ATV and was wondering if you guys could diagnose a sound that I’m thinking is a bad wheel bearing. My 16’ 450 (no eps, no ebs) has 1700 miles on it. I ride it decently rough but nothing extreme. No real issues with it and have only Done an oil change. The past 500 or so miles I’ve been getting some terrible clicking/ rattling sounds in the front end of my 450. Both front wheels have a lot of play when on the ground, and when you jack it up wheel has a lot of wiggle. All my other suspension components seem tight and don’t have play. When you take the wheel off and grab the disc, there’s a lot of movement. Idk if this is normal but If the bike it sittin not turned on and i push it in neutral, like around my garage. It’s so stiff and I can barely push it like it’s all locked up feeling. My 570 I can push it with ease in neutral.

Thanks everyone.

I’m looking to get a newer can am outlander xmr 850 or 1000, just from people that I know people are telling me to stay away from the 1000 because they have more problems because they have more hp? I don’t know if this is true or not or if the people I know are just blowing smoke out their @$$. I cant find anything online that say anything about it so any personal experiences? Any personal experiences and opinions would be awesome thanks!

Hi I have a Polaris 2000 Scrambler 500 2x4. I purchased a new axle part number 5133181 and I need jam nuts to fit. I was given part number 7547193 by a dealer who told me they no longer make that part. I searched on the internet and I cannot locate this part. The new axle has a more course thread than the old one. Does any know of an axle that would fit this new axle? Thanks

Hello everyone I'm new to this forum. But I just purchased a 02 trailblazer today. And it runs like a top. Only issue I have is it will not go into reverse. The light comes on as if it's in reverse but nothing happens. You can rev the engine and pull shifter into reverse it doesn't grind or anything. Maybe one of y'all could point me in the right direction. I will be pulling the trans in the next few days to inspect. Just looking for a little advice

Has anyone experienced a rough idle on theirs? this thing shakes and vibrates at idle. it idles between 1300-1400, and you can hear the engine shaking. it only has like 7 hours on it. I will be calling the dealer on Tuesday and get it in to them but if its something simple I will take care of it myself. We have a ride planned next weekend and my wife wants to ride it. Can anyone help me out?

For comparison my 570 SP was purchased at the same time and it idles at 1250 and is smooth as can be. No shaking what so ever. they are like night and day

Thanks

Noticed she was flashing the temp warning while I was scouting a new hunting spot. I shut her off and removed the seat until she cooled down a bit. The fan was not kicking on, so I need to check the fuse/relay and temp sensor tomorrow. It was dark by the time I got home and I can't find the manual anywhere. Too tired to tear into it tonight, but any insight is appreciated

I'm new to the forum and new to Can am. I'm 95% sure I'll be picking up a 2017 Outlander. 1000r XTP tomorrow with under 30 hours. Never been ridden on anything but grass. I will trail ride with little mudding, none most likely. I'm also ordering the clickngo 60" plastic plow for it to do some driveway snow removal this winter.

My question to you guys is that I could transfer the remaining BEST Can Am warranty which has about 3 years left for an extra $1000 above price of quad.

Would you guys spend the extra 1k money for 3 years warranty?

I've seen a bunch of posts going both ways.... that the warranty sucks or is great. Seems to be a dealer issue really.

And is the 3 years warranty worth $1000? He says they can turn it back in and get that much back.

Or could I get aftermarket company warranty for cheaper. I don't know how much they are for like RPMone, which seems to be a popular company on here for good warranty.

Appreciate the help and speed guys, so I can finalize a deal and join the crowd here!

Thanks!

Howdy Folks:
I've owned a Polaris Sportsman 500 since 1998. It's getting pretty ragged these days, so in 2016 I picked up a Sportsman 450 HO EPS in green.

It's very similar to my old ride, except for the tires. Actually it out weighs the old 500, and is a few inches larger all the way around.
It's a great tool around the place, but I just couldn't get over the fact of the smaller tires than my old 500, so today I fixed that.

My 450 now has a full set of 14" ITP aluminum wheels, and 26" Kenda Bearclaw tires, and there's plenty of wheel room left under the chassis.

What year did can am xmr stop having acs shocks? I see for 2018 they have fox podium 1.5/qs3 shocks for the 850/1000, I’m assuming those are not air shocks? I looked on the fox website at specs for the specific shocks and could find anything really. I know might be silly questions but I keep reading problems with the acs air shocks. Any answered questions would be awesome thanks.

I'm new to the ATV world. I live in Canada so please consider the Canadian dollar. I'm looking for my first new to me ATV for plowing,hunting and summer trail riding.

I found a deal on a used 2018 CAN AM Outlander XT 570 for $9K out the door with the flex plow. The Outlander has 800 KM - Warranty is until 2023.

Do you consider this a good price? I'm looking at the CAN AM because I also own a Ski Doo and have had a great experience with the dealer.

I'm also looking at older used ATV's as well. I found a 2011 Yamaha Kodiak 450 with EPS for $4200 CAD - It has 3000KM and some extras such as gun boot, aluminum skid plate, gas can, and winch.

Plow with install is going to be about $1,500 so I'm factoring that in on the Yamaha price.

Thanks in advance
