Hi I have the cover off and the rockers seem to lift the same. Is there a way to measure lift without cam removal, if so how ? If I have to replace the cam what do you recommend ? 99 Big Boss 500
thanks.

Hi there people I will likely just lurk for a while as I am still trying to decide if I want a Can-Am, Honda or Polaris, though l am leaning heavily towards Can-Am because we have local dealer and their current incentives. Right now the Can-Am is offering a 5 year warrantee on the L series which the 570 apparently falls into so I am currently leaning very heavily toward the Outlander 570 Hunter addition. It to me looks like one heck of a good deal.

I've owed a 2005 Outlander 500 and Sportsman 850. I was honestly happy with both. Right now I am trying to figure out if want another ATV or not. Ok that's now really true I want one but which one.

I keep thinking the 650 XT might be nice for the extra power but am still on the fence. Also thinking of the Max in either the 570 or the 650 so that I have room for my or daughter to come out with me occasionally. I don't really think either of them will come out that often so wonder if it's worth getting or just get a seat for the rear rack for the few times they come with me. So if any of you have any experience between the 570 and the 650 or the single seat vs the Max I would honestly appreciate some user insight.

Thanks in advance.

How much of a pain in the butt is it?

Just traded for a 1996 Magnum 425. The PO stated it would run for a while then stop. After cleaning plug it would run again. WRONG! Tore into fuel system. No gas in the system except for about 2 gallons of awful smelling old gas!. I'll be posting in the forums before long as I go thru it. Happy to find this forum. Looking forward to interacting.

Hey all, so was wondering if anyone been on texas creek? I am planning to go there with my polaris to try out all the black diamonds and wondering if there is anything to watch out for.

Ive done most of penrose blacks and same with all the other tougher trails. Wondering if it is like penrose or a little more easier

I have as the title reads a 19 Outlander 450 that has an issue with stalling. I have about 60 miles on it and it’s happened since day 1. Starts right up, isles fine, and runs fine. The issue is, if it’s been idling and I have it in gear and I just hit the gas to go it’ll stall. Starts back up fine then goes. I can avoid this if I “feather” the gas to start. For instance, yesterday I was driving around in low picking up sticks. I’d stop, put the parking break on, hop off, get on, disengage the PB and hit the gas and every few times it stalls.
I brought it to the dealer for the first maintenance and told them. They changed the spark plug and told me that’s “norma” operation for the 450 because of “new emissions laws”. This sounds insane to me. I have a 2019 that’s “supposed” to stall? What do you guys think?

Happy new year everyone,

I have a minor issue with my 2016 850SP. Lately the idle tends to oscillate between 1200 and 1300 rpm, it just sits there and goes up and down. It is not a big issue right now but I am worried that it might be symptomatic of something that might be failing. Any ideas of cause or what i should be looking at?

Thanks

Wife and I have 2012 & 2013 850’s. Both bikes (what a coincidence) threw code 102 2 one the same weekend. I looked in service manual. It relates as P0106 which is TMap. Also, the 2 code states “Signal Out of Range”. I did replace the sensor but still have same issue. I did see older post which indicated harness issues. any ideas on how to test the harness? Thx

hi new to forum i own a 1995 polaris trailboss 250 2x4 and i recently replaced the starter on it and now it has low spark. It was working fine before i replaced the starter. when i took off the flywheel the magnets were not glued in place but worked fine so i glued them back in and installed it back then it no longer would start. what could be the problem?

I did a quick search but I didn't see much posted in regards to transporting fishing rods on ATVs. I am looking for ideas to transport our fishing rods down some of the backroads. Currently we just bungee cord the tube down but I was thinking it would be nice to have a sturdy bracket or clamp instead secured to the storage lid.

I really like these quick release clamps (pictured), it would allow me the option to remove the entire tube with ease. I just can't find them locally or even the right size.

The alternative is just a couple of u-bolts but they aren't as practical for removing unless I replace the nuts with wing nuts.

Any other backroad ATV fishermen/women? What do you do?
