Best bumper option?

Hey guys! First post, just bought 2 sportsman 570's with ESP for my lady and I. i would like to put a front bumper/ brush guard on them. I think I've narrowed it to a GURU or a Bison hunter. Any thoughts, opinions or experience? Messaged the Guru guys and was given a 3 week lead time. Bison would ship today. Similar price. The bison worries me that it might cake with mud and cause the machine to overhead. I want to ride these things but I don't want to risk breaking something with no protection.

Xmrs can’t swim

Hey gents sad to say I sank the brand new one(2017 outlander 850 xmr) over the handle bars the other night ... not the first time either. Last time I sank it flipped it up pulled plugs pushed the water out of the top of the cylinders set the wheeler down checked oil it was gold replaced plugs fired up and let it warm up. Rechecked oil still gold so kept riding for a few months no trouble.

Now this time sank it got pulled out pulled plugs turned over to clear cylinders , replaced plugs and checked oil and waterfall out of dipstick....
Let that drain and tyres one push of start button and it sounded like I never cleared the water out of the top of the cylinders. So towed it home arrived very late so just pulled all drain plugs and let drain for a few hours.
Woke up early and started the flushing process after replacing drains and refilling tried to start and it acted as if the cylinders had water in them still. So pulled plugs again and turned over until nothing but fuel coming out of cylinders. At this point statted turning over fine. 3 oil changes before even trying to start and run(turned it over multiple times with plugs disconnected. At this point dead battery (lo batt voltage on gauge). Hooked up charger until full batt.

Now no start condition.

I'm at a loss I have checked all fuses I do have all lights and gauge working correctly to the best of my knowledge.
I can hear the fuel pump turn on. I can smell fuel coming out of cylinders. Have plenty of blue lightning at each plug. It will not start I'm banging my head on the wall hear please any advice would be appreciated. Keep riding dirty yall # braplife

Display/Dash question – never seen this before

Hi all! New here. I have a 2008 Can-Am Outlander 650 XT. I recently took it for a full tune up and check up. Everything was good. Week later battery had to be replaced. Now I have a new battery on, runs fine, but the display button does nothing when I push it to scroll through the trip meter, hours driven, etc. The display works, shows what gear I'm in, speedometer and odometer working. But the button doesn't. Also, there's the letter F on the display next to the trip. What does that mean? I took a pic, but not for surehow to post it on here, but I'll try lol. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Rear axel

I broke my left rear axel on my 97 xplorer 500. I was wondering if a 98 xplorer 400 axel would fit on my 500. They're both independent I just wanted to make sure

Still won’t start, lessons learned.

Ok last week I posted that I couldn't get my 2015 Sportsman 570 to start. I'm still having issues. To recap I installed a winch drained the old low on liquid original battery to the point of no return but before I bought a new battery I jumped the bike from my TRUCK THAT WAS RUNNING!! It cranked over and ran while the cables where attached but died when I removed one. I didn't know at the time you shouldn't jump your bike from a running truck. Talked to the Polaris Tech he agreed with everyone on here that a new battery should fix the problem. Got a new battery, installed it and go to turn the key and I get a noise and vibration from a relay (top right, EFI position) in the fuse box and my starter solenoid starts making bad solenoid noises. I've checked all my fuses (good), replaced the starter solenoid, and replaced the chattering relay in the fuse box (Chassis Relay). Also checked the 10A breaker for continuity, its good. Rewired the winch to the distributing terminals. So I turn the key over and get the chattering relay again. I reinstall the instrument panel, since I took it off with the front plastic to get to the parts and the new relay stops chattering and I get a LO 10.6 message on the instrument panel. I just got this brand new battery and have even left it on the 2A charger for a night just to make sure. Ill charge the battery tonight and test the bike again tomorrow. I don't know what could be draining my battery now or if I can even start it. I made some videos so y'all can see what I'm talking about, links below. Any help is appreciated

2017 xmr 1000

Hey all, want to get some can am bead locks on my xmr, are the front and rear rims 6.5" in width? In can am catalog they have two different p/n for front and rear rims with different offsets. I don't want a wider rim in the back, as there p/n for rear in 8.5" wide with a offset of 51 versus 41 in front. Just want to clarify what set up will work on my rig. Thanks for any insight.

570 Max Accessories

I have a 570 Max DPS on the way. It will be here sometime in October. I ordered a barebones unit to minimize the initial cost. When I go to add bumpers and other accessories will I be able to directly mount up stuff from the larger displacement bikes or do the 450/570 bikes have their own stuff?
