I ordered the metal valve cover for my 05 sportsman 700 twin. Do I reuse the old "reed" parts or use the new ones that came with it? The new one does not have a reed.

2013 1000 outlander very jumpy on gas
I am looking at a 1000 outlander a guy has on Craigslist. He knows me a little so he's letting me look it over before making an offer. Before I look at things under the plastic, can I get opinions of what it could be. I thought it was the transmission and if so, not interested. Basically when you crank it up and put it in gear, if you hit gas too early it grinds the gears. After you wait and hit the gas, the atv shakes like you are riding through a earthquake. After you pick up a little speed, it smooths out n rides fine. If it's something cheap to fix, might be a good buy. Clutch, belt, transmission? Any suggestions?

Snow Plow For 2006 Polaris 800 Sportsman
Hey guys...I'm looking for a snow plow for my 2006 Polaris 800 Sportsman. Since the Polaris Glacier plows are not available for my ATV, I'm looking for other brands that would be recommended.
I spoke to Warn today, and they recommend the following:
54" ProVantage Straight Plow Blade (78954)
Center Plow Mounting Kit (63936)
ProVantage Plow Base/Push Tube Assembly (78100)
Since I have an older model Warn winch (2.5 CI), I was told that the Front Plow Mounting Kit would not work since the winch would get in the way of the mounting kit and to go with the Center Plow Mounting Kit.
I can get all 3 parts for $382.56 off Amazon with free shipping. Do you guys recommend going with a Warn set-up or should I look at some other companies? My local ATV dealer recommends going with a set-up from Kolpin. Thanks for your assistance.

007 Maverick Max: Modded Mondays
We're pretty sure Bond would approve
Themed UTVs abound at the Sand Sports Super Show and this 007 inspired Can-Am Maverick X3 Max caught our eye. With it’s gold accents on everything from the roll cage to the shock springs, radius rods and even the thread in the custom 007 seats, it’s obvious that there was great attention to detail given with this build. Check out a handful of close ups of this incredible machine below.

Possible Can Am Outlander 450L Max Purchase
Hi all! I am in the market for a 450L Outlander Max. I dont know a lot about this model at all but i am really leaning towards a Max model so i can carry a passenger. I already have a 570 XMR which has more than enough power for me. I am not a power hungry type of guy but i am wondering if a single cylinder max will be enough to haul 2 people for trail riding as well as do lite work around the house & property with the possible haul out of a deer or 2, No Mudding! From what i am learning it makes "just" about as much power as a Rincon, Rancher, Foreman or Wolverine. What is the reliability like? Any issues other than squealing brakes? Likes- Dislikes, Regrets/ Buyers Remorse, etc.... If you have a 450L please chime in. Doesnt matter if you have a Reg 450 or Max, new model or several yrs old. Any info will be greatly appreciated!
Muzzy Stuff
I have a 2016 outlander, looking to get the muzzy dual slip on and the digi-tuner. Just not sure where to buy. Any recomendations?
Loss of electrical system.
Good Morning All:
We have an issue with our 2007 Sportsman 500 Browning Edition, VIN 4XMN50A7A22XXXX, not sure what the exact model number is.
The issue is, a week ago I started it up and backed it out of the shop, everything was okay, later 2-3 hours I tried to start it to move it back in, turned the key on, acted like a low battery, I used the recoil started and it started right up.
A couple of days I was going to move it out, turned the key on, and speedo/dash dead, I hooked the charger up and let it charge for a few minutes and pulled the rope to start it, moved it outside and plugged the charger back in on low charge. I left it on trickle overnight. The next day I checked the battery and found 12.8 volts, dash/speedo still dark when the key is turned on. I started looking for fuses, it appears that this model has a circuit breaker contained in a PDM (power distribution module). Yes the battery has been load checked for a surface charge, it is good, all grounds have been checked, battery connections have been checked.
When the key is turned on the dash doesn't light up, if left on for a few seconds, 10-20 or so the dash will light up, tail light come on, turn the key to start and nothing happens, the solenoid doesn't activate. Then power will drop out,(voltage doesn't drop at the battery), leave the key on and the dash and tail light come back on and then will drop out. Battery doesn't show a drop in voltage during this, well slightly 12.8 to 12.77.
I have checked the harness, unplugged all sensors trying to find the cause of the what appears to be a short in the system. I have used a fault finder that transmit a RF signal and can trace the signal to the PDM, when the dash lights up, the signal will go on through and can be traced to the EMC and to the dash Pod. I have unplugged the ECM, and the issue still exist so I feel the issue isn't there. I have pulled the ignition switch and checked for proper operation with an Multimeter, it checks good. All accessories have been taken out of the system to try and eliminate the problem.
At this point I'm at a loss, it appears to be the PDM, but at $400+ I don't want to guess. Part number 4011517, and it looks like it is 2007 500 specific.
Wondering if anyone else had this issue and found the cure.
Thank you for any help anyone can part with.

Upsize tires
Question:
I have a 1999 335 sportsman with 23X7-10 on front and 24X11-10 on back. Will I damage gears by going up to 24s on the front and 25s on back?
