anyone have tips on how to remover the gearbox on a commander ? got the dreaded high gear grind . thanks in advance

Hi guys! I just as of yesterday picked up a 2008 Sportsman 500 H.O., I’m new to these ATV’s and fairly new to posting in general on a forum (been a lurker for a long time lol) and had a few questions, my bike runs great, and is mechanically sound and I bought it as a good start on a mud project, I am in need of a few things like brake lines, (just need to know where to find them or which lines will work) a new seat, possibly some new plastics, and other cosmetic stuff like that mainly, what all year models and sizes of sportsman ATV’s will interchange parts wise? I’m not sure about all of the different body styles and everything, any help on this would be appreciated!

Hello all! Just purchased my first Can Am. 2019 570 XMR. I’ve always been a Honda guy. Figured if you can’t beat em join em. Looking forward to learning all about my new ride from you guys.

I have a 2019 Defender XMR with Camo plastics. Does anyone have silver plastics that would be willing to trade all 5 pieces? Mine are like new, only 2 weeks old, would except the same condition for trade. I am located in north central Florida. Let me know.

Work only,1800 total miles,primary use,snow plow and corral drag.

1) third battery installed Sep 2018

2) voltage regulator replaced April 2018,starting problems and power steering locked.

3) starter replaced Sep 2018. Starting problems and power steering locked

4) factory winch replaced Jan 2019. Plow use only,up and down.

5) right side engine cover melted from exhaust heat.

6) will not start.currently in shop for diagnostics. Feb 2019.

Has anyone experienced similar problems and is there any recourse with the factory?

Lately going riding, when I've been riding for n hour or so and all good until for a while on idle the rpm goes down and the low battery displays. As soon as I give gas, I'm all good. When it's cool, I dont have this issue. And it's a brand new battery. Only been doing it while riding when its colder outside. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks

I was able to get out for some tracking in-between storms ... we have lots of deep powder and on this ride, it was pretty windy ... of course, it usually is on these ridge tops. It was nice & cool too. The day started of at -7F (-21c) and stayed pretty nippy all day long. :th_smiliedance:

So I have made a few small purchases for the 2018 6x6.

I went with 27x9-12 for the front and 27x11-12 for the rear on the ITP Mega Mayhems tires. I also purchased the heavy duty spring kit but it just comes with 4 springs. Wondering if I will need to buy the other two as well. My plan was to do the front and the back front set.

I also bought the radiator guard versus doing the relocate kit but I will see how that goes this year. I hate to give up that front rack if I don't have to. But I have heard quite a few people say I should move do the rad relocate. Thoughts ?

My main question is I am debating on a clutch and will I need a clutch kit ?
