My BRP aluminum trailing arm skid plates were constantly bending and I'd get hung up on trail obstacles other quads were going through. I removed the guards and put the plastic cv boot protectors back on and immediately noticed I didn't get stuck anymore.

The aluminum guards are designed with a large "ear" that hangs down lower than the trailing arm. That ear acted as a scoop and the only function I saw for this extra part was to provide enough surface area for the Can-Am logo.

I took a leap and sawzalled my guards... sorry Can-Am, the logo was catching more than eyes...

I drilled a 3/8" hole at the intersection of my cuts to prevent stress fracturing and filed the edges smooth before I re-installed the guards.

So far I'm pleased with my results. Haven't gotten hung up in 50 miles of mud, snow and ruts filled with roots and broken ice.

I have a 2012 Sportsman 550. I bought it ne and had the plow bracket installed at purchase. I have never had a problem until yesterday. I hook the plow up to the two pins near the winch. I then hook up my wich to the plow and raise the winch and plow. This action engages the rear lock pins, and when I hear them snap into place, I am ready to plow. Yesterday when I tried this, the two locking pins under engine would not engage. The arm from the plow that hold the locking arm seems to be a 1/2 inch short on both sides. Nothing seems bent. Any ideas

Hello, I am new so thank you for your patience. I have a 2016 Sportsman 450 that won't crank. When I turn the key over nothing happens, no clicking, no cranking, no nothing. But with the key in the run position or on position, when I jump the starter solenoid it starts fine and runs perfectly. Here is what I've done
Verified brake is on and the run/stops which is in the run position
Verified good battery connected correctly and bought a new battery just to verify.
Changed out starter solenoid
Changed out ignition switch
Checked all fuses and relays (in the fuse box), they are good
Circuit breaker has continuity, I removed it and jumped the two post with the wire still nothing.
The run/stop swhich appears to be working because it runs fine when I jump the starter solenoid.

I bought this bike 2 weeks ago not starting so I don't know the history, but it has 95 miles and 34 hours. I am out of ideas, if anyone has seen this before or knows what I'm missing I would love to hear about it.
Thanks in advance

Good morning guys. I have a 03 500 h.o. the issue is: new battery starts up fine. Lately When i run it, plowing, using the winch its good until the fan kicks on. Then it will bog down and sometimes shut off. Now, when i go to re-start, it has a hard time, like its starving for gas. I read on another site...similar issue the guy changed out the fuel pump. I ordered one and will be putting it on today. Im the original owner. Its never been changed so i figured id do it..but i have my doubts. Any ideas

Just bought a 17 Outlander 650 DPS starting the customizing.

Anyone know what all the 625w magneto and stock battery setup will push. I'd like to run hand warmers, 4-55w HID's, 2x240w light bars, while charging a cellphone and moving across the ice this hardwater season.

Figure you guys may have all the answers before I go break it myself.

For sale is my Polaris Glacier Pro Plow & Pro Frame mount with the ability to swivel the plow left or right with any easy lift of a lever.

I had it on a 2010 Sportsman XP 550.

All you need to do is purchase one of these 2 frame mounts (listed below) and you should be good to go. The frame mount attaches under the ATV and connects the plow system with a simple pull of a lever. Very easy to take off and on.

This setup is about 2 years old with extremely limited use. It's in very good condition.

The atv won't start with pull cord. It doesn't want to start even with starter fluid. Engine did back fire finally after lots of pulls. any ideas?

I’ve been traveling for work the last four months and my 2014 Maverick has been sitting in my garage. I just replaced the battery and took it around the block for a spin, didn’t hammer down or anything crazy. I came to a stop sign and when i went to hit the gas, my bike didn’t move. Got out and checked under and found my drive shaft disconnected. I attached a picture of what i saw. Can anyone tell me what the problem is?

Has anyone else installed the ultimate series rear bumper? I got an early Xmas present and I installed it today. What a PITA! The lower part of the bumper where you have to put the 2 bolts thru was my problem. I ended up taking the tires off to get a better angle. I was wondering if anyone else had an issue with that as well?

I also installed my hand and thumb warmers. That was fairly easy and now my hands will be toasty warm this winter. Next I will be installing my 3500# winch. Me and the wife are terrible with presents as we can never wait until Xmas to give each other our presents!. Attachment 96218Attachment 96226Attachment 96234Attachment 96242Attachment 96250
