New 2018 sportsman AWD noise

Just got two base 2018 sportsman's 570 back in December. one red one green..

the Red one had a problem with starting low voltage, and a noise in front end when in snow only in AWD. it's a hard sound to explain but only the RED one is doing it.

I took it back to the dealer and they found out that one of the battery cells had no fluid but they said there was no noise that was out of norm.. even tho i told them the Green one did not make this loud noise.


The noise is at its loudest when in snow going up hill,,, when the front tires are pulling the most.. or on flat ground in snow and sharply turning left right.

It's a growling kinda noise, gets louder the more power you give it.

So after talking to corporate I took it to a different dealer. this time the guy drove it in the snow with me there and looked puzzled when he got back. I hear it he said. but had no clue what it was.


so im waiting for a call back..


anyone out there having this problem?

The Green one work great no problems there.

-Lift rims tires
-Snorkel

2008 Sportsman 500 AWD

Hey all, I think we're almost at our whits end with our machine lol! Just seems to be one thing after another but figured I would post here about our current problem.

Recently the Speedo atopped working. It lights up, displays the odometer, fuel but the needle doesn't move. After noticing that, we noticed that the AWD didn't work. Reading up on this determined that they were related.

So we tried the bypass, and the front tires DID start moving, intermittently but we could stop them by hand...

What are we dealing with and where should we start?

New 850 Developments

Check out @TheModShopGP on Facebook. Dyno runs, new Big Bore kits, Cam and High comp Pistons and Exhausts for the 850. Very interesting. Jamie has told me that a stock 850 turns out 79hp and a slip on and fuel tuner will add about 5hp. Peak RPM is between 7400 to 7600. They are getting pretty much 100hp out of the 850 with there kits

2013 Outlander xt 400?

Been looking for a cheap unit my 15 yr old can ride around and not need to worry about him tearing up my 1000, my neighbor has a 06 he let's him ride and he has gone everywhere I have with no problem.

Is there any thing I should look at on that particular year? It only has 95hrs and 350 miles. Thanks

Can-am superduty plow

Can anyone tell me about the can-am superduty plow system? Can’t find much online about it. Buying a new defender HD8 and any accessories I buy now the dealer will install for free, they don’t sell any aftermarket plow set ups. Is this a good system? Is it easy to disconnect quickly? Is the connection in the front or underneath? It’s about $400 more then most of the aftermarket set ups so just want to make sure it’s a good unit. Thanks
