New to me 06 Outlander 800 XT

Just got me this. I was actually shopping for a used grizzly with power steering, but this is pretty much the only used decent ride I came across. 600 miles with 120 hours. It seems like it was barley used. I typically research the hell out of stuff before buying...if I would have on this, I probably would have passed. Just because I am seeing all these stories about the frames and timing chains. Anyways, I already got the 1.25 steel tubes to stick in the frame and a warn front mount plow setup coming. I do wish I could have power steering just for the woods riding that I do, but the power that this has makes up for it.



Grease fitting (zerk) size on shaft

Just in case someone needs the size of the grease fitting (zerk) on the shaft, (below oil dipstick area), it is a "metric" 6mm, not a 1/4"-28.
I snapped mine, and had to replace it. Lol
Probably same size for most Sportsmans

’15 570 EPS Steering quits

I get occasional steering then engine warning indicators for no apparent reason. The issue might come up in 5 minutes or 2 hours...no rhyme or reason. I've checked all connections but haven't found anything. Welcoming ideas or similar experiences.

wet garage?

hey
well today decided to do some work around the house and property.
after took the sportsman around for a bit of snow/mud and parked it back in the garage. my 2 car garage has a bit of a slope very small and it doesn't slop towards the two doors but sideways so I need to put a mat of some kind under the atv to catch the water and such . what are you guys using to help with the mud and snow in your garages under your atv's ?
I have to use a push broom to push some of the water out and would rather catch it with a mat of some kind.
thanks
Glenn

2017 Outlander Max XT 850 tire question

Hi everyone, I want to change out my tires since they seem low profile at 26 10 14 rear 26 8 14 front and already bent a rim on a rock (picture shows the damage) what I was planning was to go with Interco Swamp Lite 28 11 14 rear 28 9 14 front would this work out? Any thoughts? I'm thinking this will give me a better rim guard

2017 Yamaha Wolverine R-Spec vs. Polaris General Deluxe + Video



The 2017 Yamaha Wolverine R-Spec and Polaris General Deluxe may both be Sport-Utility UTVs, but they are vastly different machines and shine in different areas. But that didn’t stop us from seeing how they stack up against each other.

Mama always said to not let your eyes overload your mouth at dinner, but I think in this case it may be the wallet that some overload. One of the toughest things to do for me is to shop. Whether its tools or off-road rides, I hate trying to decide on one specific item especially when there is so many involved that I would love to have one of each. I am sure there are many UTV owners out there that may have felt the same way when they first went in search of the big UTV purchase and maybe now have a little buyer’s remorse because what looked like a sugar-coated dream machine might not fit their more realistic riding situation. It happens way too often and with the 2017 Yamaha Wolverine R-Spec and Polaris General Deluxe, we found out that after several days of riding these two machines together in the same terrain, both have their place and their own individual personality.
