Wheel bearing greaser

I ordered the bearing greaser tool Can-Am Commander 800 Wheel Bearing Greaser Service Tool 25-1516 293350040 CAN AM | eBay and it came in today. I had already prepped everything (tires & brakes off & all nuts and bolts loose so I could remove shocks & swing arms when I had the tool in hand. It still took me a long time to do it, but it was really worth it. All the bearing seemed to be in good shape, but when I greased them, each of them took 20+ pumps on my grease gun before any grease started come through the bearings. One of the bearing even had a few drops of water forced out of it (I’ll keep a close eye on that one). I plan on greasing the wheel bearings once a year (during my winter maintenance). Seems to be a really nice tool to have.

Mossy Oak Hunting Editions out?

Was wanting to get a new ride for hunting. Decided on the 2018 hunting edition, but no dealer near me has one. A couple called me in and tried to sale me 2016 Outty models with camo plastics, but not the actual hunting editions. When asked about them, they gave me the runaround and kept trying to get me on a 2016... one even wanted to give me a deal on a PoPo. I explained that I?m set on the actual Hunting Edition that Can-Am has on the website and left. One took my info and gave me a 2018 book with the Hunting Outty in it lol. He said he can maybe get me on a 2017 :| Everything is in place to walk out with one today and now I can?t locate the one I want :\

Engine Stalling

2015 Sportsman 1000, stock tires and clutch. Went out mudding today and got it stuck pretty good. Exhaust was underwater so I kept it barely above idle until it was pulled out. Noticed the clutch was whining a little bit but it went away after a minute or two. Rode through some more water maybe 2 feet deep and was doing wheelies through no problem. Drove back to the trailer which was about 2 minutes away and engine stalled out when I put the brakes on. Got it home and pulled the belt cover off to find a fair amount of mud. Hosed the outside cover off and tried to hose the inside out as well. Started it and ran it to dry belt off. Engine runs fine but lugs and wants to die when in gear and rear wheels are stopped. (Its up on a jack.) The belt has constant tension on it. Seems like the primary is constantly engaged? Thoughts or ideas?

Gas tank insulation

Does anyone have a product recommendation for something they have used to insulate their tank? Also something to rewrap the lines with? I'm getting ready to replace all of my lines and clean the tank so I figured now is a good time to insulate.

Old guy from Canada

Hi guys,

Buying a quad for clearing snow off my drive, so came here for opinions on my choice - an Outlander 450 with power steering.

I'm 67 and I ain't shovelling that white stuff any more !

Hopefully I'll also get to ride some trails with my son, too.

What I know about quads you could write on the back of a postage stamp, so hopefully I'll learn a lot here.

Hi all. New member and new owner of an outlander!

Hi everyone. I'm a new member here and a proud first time owner of a 2017 outlander 570 dps.

I've been ATVing since a kid and have always enjoyed it. I live in upstate NY.

I picked this up about 2 weeks ago. I have only been on one ok ride so far. About 48 miles on it now.

Eventually I want to add a yoshimira exhaust. I have a 20" light bar on order for the front rack. Many other upgrades will come eventually.
