Hi all, I'm looking to possibly upgrade to a can am. I currently have a Polaris sportsman 500 HO. My local Yamaha dealer has a 2014 outlander xt 650 with 1,965 miles listed for $6,100. It has an hmf pipe and sti hd3 wheels with 27" mud tires that I'm not sure of the brand or if any other add ons. My main concern is the mileage, is this mileage high? Should I be worried about this mileage on a used machine? I'm sure the dealer went over it and replaced things that needed replacing although it's not a can am dealer so maybe they didn't look too far into it.

What are your thoughts on this? Should I look for any certain issues with it?

Should I check this one out or look elsewhere?

Thanks!

Hello PolarisATV Forum!

If you're in the Columbus area, come check out booth #926 at the AIMExpo this weekend to meet the inventors/owners of BeadBuster and pick up some gear at a discount! Here is some information on the booth and what the discount includes.

Here is more information on days and hours.

Hope you can make it!

Greeting all, as a new member here I have searched the forum and have not been able to find anything on this as yet. I have a 2015 Sportsman 570, and to be honest was a little chagrined to find no recoil start. Anyway, to my questions, I have purchased a WEEGO charger for the potential of a dead battery while afield. Are there any limitations or issues that arise when operation with a dead battery (i.e. system that will not function of the stator/alternator)? Also has anyone determined an alternate method of starting these machines? Thanks,

New to the site and new to Can Am. Just picked up a used 2017 650 XMR with 145 miles. Any tips for me? Mainly trail riding and small mud holes. Im definately amazed at the power of the 650.

I bought my quad about 7 years ago and, as of yet, Polaris has not contacted me for the safety course. Yes, I have contacted them multiple times expressing interest and each time they promise to let me know. Anyone else having problems with getting them to contact you?

Other than that, the only issue I've had is getting a faulty gear indication. Apparently after riding through some mud puddles, the shifter will not show the correct gear. The quad still works, just doesn't show whether it's in high or low reliably. A good bath got the mud out of the lever and all works fine now.

Has Anyone changed to a Lithium Battery on the 2017 Sportsman XP 1000? If so can you share the source and part number of the Battery you used?

Was it a direct replacement and drop in?

Thanks
Gregg

Hi everybody

I have a Outlander 2016 850XT, and I love it, but my first choice was an XTP, now I have a pretty good deal in exchange with my 850 for a 2017 XTP 1000r, I know that the 1000 have 10hp more and I searched a lot about this but did find a real answer to my question, is there a good difference in power?

I run mostly during winter and sometime I feel that more power is needed, I run summer too.
I know that the 1000r can make more heat then the 850 but I nerver do mud only trail during summer.

I would not to change for another 850 even if it's an XTP, if a change it will be for a 1000r XTP but is the 1000r worth it??

thanks!!

I’ve seen several posts on the fact that the Visco-Lok is a sealed unit and cannot be serviced, however I just purchased the Torq Locker and they have a youtube video and it talks about disabling the Visco-Lok on 2015.5 and later models. It shows that the Visco-Lok is bolted on the ring gear and shows how it can be dismantled. My 6x6 obviously is not a 2015.5 because I don’t have that option (mine is all one unit). The video shows the inside of the Visco-Lok for those who are curious, but they explain that the unit is not serviceable, and once opened cannot be reused. Anyway thought some of you would like to see it.

as stated above i found this unit after a couple of months looking, are the 2013 models decent? im coming from years of honda atvs ..it has 1000 miles and 90 hours and appears to be in great condition..its from a one owner private seller, it has front and rear light bars and a nice rear storage trunk, is there anything in particular i need to check over on this machine? are there any recalls or computer flash upgrades that i need to be concerned about ? is 7999.00 a decent price? If i buy it i will be looking for a plow set up also in the 400 to 450 price range what do you all use and like or dislike about them? thanks for the replies

I got a 2001 sportsman 500 some one left the choke on for three days and the engine filled with gas. i didnt think that was possible so my question is did the choke cause this or do i need to clean the carb?
