Went to crank up my bike yesterday and nothing happened. Hooked up a jumper everything was normal so I figured it was the battery. In order to remove battery I had to remove reservoir bottle hose tie-down on right side of frame and the power steering motor that was installed was all in the way needless to say it is a tight arse fit. I have come to the conclusion that these battery locations were determined with the dealership in mind it took approx 1/2 day to remove and install. I bought a gel maintenance free from Batteries + bulbs for $85.00.

The battery that was removed had very little water in it the cells were dry 2" from the top the battery. Location is in a location where it is virtually impossible to do monthly inspections without hours of work (on the skid plate below the oil filter) The bike was set-up and inspected by the dealer Zero hours on the clock 80 hours presently. it would seem it would be an easy thing to do when setting up an ATV is make sure the battery was up to level. I haven't been to the dealer yet with my findings it was closed by the time I finished up.

I bought the maintenance free gel battery 205cca vs 195cca with nothing to check. I loaded it up with dielectric grease. I don't ride it much only to hunt but I'm gonna ride out a 1/2 tank of fuel tomorrow to charge up the charging system.

Good evening,
We put the Cecco rear diff brace on the 2015 tonight. Easy install and big difference. Well worth the $$.

Thanks,
Tom

hey guys just got my bumper and rad relocate installed on my 2014 renegade 1000x and really like the quality of this kit from RDC. only thing i have left to do is the radiator hoses and picking a place to drill the holes. i see a few spots you could run them, anyone here have some suggestions/pictures of where they chose to drill/route??

any help would be great!

I have been unsuccessful in finding any decent videos of replacing the front diff pinion cover on a 2016 sportsman 1000 highlifter, do any exist? Thanks!

Ordered stock size Kenda Bearclaw HTR's (25×8×12, 25x10x12)
The rears came today, front 2 tomorrow. Very nice looking tire for sure!
2wheel.com has some good deals on them!
Got all 4 for $337 and change, shipped!
Came nice & tightly wrapped in plastic, not distorted at all, like some tires are shipped.
Thinking of just mounting them on my Sportsman stock wheels. Keeping footprint at 48" 'ish.

Hi All

Just picked up a 2010 Outlander 500XT - my first Can-Am
Looking forward to get out on some trails but it was -30C (about -22F) here in Ontario, Canada today so it may need to wait a little bit LOL

Cheers

Hi everyone, I'm a new Can-am owner, and had a quick question. Does anyone know of lights that fit into the opening next to the regular head-lights? I'm sure I could measure, and then search for ones that size, but wasn't sure if anyone has put lights in there and have recommendations? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Hi I am from Bathurst NB and I just received a recall on my Outlander 570 Max DS for the steering, I have purchased my new Atv at the end of August, so far love it, but now I am advised that my bike is not safe to drive and the replacement part will only be available in May, in the mean time they offer a temporary fix but you should still not drive it because you shouldn't drive faster than 30km/hr or 20 miles per hour, which is out of the question on our groom trails. I asked if they were going to compensate me for the 6 months of not being able to use my bike, they said they would extend the warranty, this is not acceptable, they want me to pay on a bike for 6 months that I can't drive it, I have only owned it for 4 months, this is ridiculous, anybody else in this predicament and any suggestion my options.

570 Hunter Edition. Not sure how ANYONE lives without these heated grips and thumb lever. My God. It is outstanding. The best accessories ever.

I think I want to put the hand guards on it and the mirrors. I can see where the guards require the mounting bracket kit and they should just bolt on. Can someone tell me how the mirrors mount? The handlebar looks completely loaded right now. Not sure where they can even go if they use clamps. I did some searching but didn't see any pictures or instructions anywhere.

My new ride.
