Crushed Skid Plate -Hole in Oil Pan

Oil filter access hole on metal skid plate has protruding lip. Rubbing against oil pan resulted in a hole in the pan. Was able to cut and fold skid plate back and weld filler in hole. Could not see what was going on underneath other than dented plate.
Don't think the stealership would have repaired this way of for the cost of a wasted oil change.

This is on a 2011 850 with hard No Nevada miles on it. My buddies 2010 has different protection. You guys that ride in rocks and bottom out frequently may want to have a look and make sure your oil filter access is not eating away at your pan.

OEM or After Market belts?

Looking at replacing my belt on my outlander 500 max. Have a donation clutch kit installed (running both springs) and I'm running 27 bear claws HTR. What bo people have better luck with OEM or after market?

1987 polaris trail boss 250

Ok so I done a compression test it would crank and run just wouldn't stay running compression was at 60 psi. So I got a top end kit and rebuilt the top end. Done another compression test and it's still at 60 psi. It feels a lot tighter when turning by hand it seems to have more compression then before. So I'm thing the gauge I got isn't working properly. But now after all of that it wont start. I've sprayed fuel in intake and nothing. It has spark and tries to start even seems to be running as long as holding start button down. If anyone can help it would be awesome.

Non-ethanol or ethanol

Bought a 570 last year. Dealer told me to run “Non-Ethanol”. So, I have been running 87 non and my machine runs perfectly.
Several friends run high octane and tell me that they’ve never heard of running non ethanol in a quad.
Is there a difference?
