XT or not XT

the outlander I picked up a few weeks ago, an 06, appears to be an XT but not sure. Reasons I think it is are that it has a factory winch and the bigger, 11 inch, rear wheels. Is there something in the serial number or something else that will confirm. Doesn't make much difference, just curious.

2014 Polaris Sportsman stalls when riding, then won’t go into gear

Over the xmas season, I was quadding on my 2014 Polaris Sportsman 570 EPS. While driving, the quad stalled in mid stride. I placed the quad back into park and it restarted without any problems. When I placed the quad back into low gear, the transmission would not engage. I tried every gear from low to high to reverse and nothing. It would not move even when accelerating. The gearing would seem to engage (jump into gear) but would not drive. We started to tow it home and then my daughter got it to go into gear and drove it home. This doesn't make any sense to me. It seems like the clutch wasn't activating like it should and wouldn't grab the belt.

I have read previous threads where people have noticed it turning off because of the key but my key only has the rubber casing around it so it wasn't the key shutting the machine down.

Any ideas?

Right now, the machine is at the dealers. The dealer was thinking it maybe due to the moisture in the snow but what good is a quad that cannot run in the snow or water for that matter. It has a Dayco XTX2239 belt which I replaced which from everything I have read replaces the Polaris belt 3211113 belt.

Renegade xmr 1000 water in the air box

Hey guys looking for some advice I just bought a 2019 renegade xmr 1000 and went riding and was going threw what I thought was a mud puddle but turned out to be a 3ft hole and long story short I sunk my snorkels and I drained the air box but the dash has a solid red light and a green light on and was wondering if I had to take it back to the dealership or is it something I can do myself ???

Storage bag on ATV

Got the bag installed on my 2018 Polaris 850 SP. The problem was Polaris has a small storage compartment under the bag/rack that I did not want to lose the use of. I made some changes to the back rack so that I would not have wear on the cloth bag as it would shift/move around. The rubber exercise mat should protect the bottom of the bag and keep it from moving around
First thing was that I would not use the storage compartment for anything except tools or thing that I would not need to get at. Tools that you hope you never need, we hope.
Wanted to be able to get in the storage compartment with little work/trouble.

Why is my Polaris 450 more stable than the Can Am 450?

At our ranch we have 4 Polaris Sportsman 450’s base models. We just picked up 2 Can Am 450 Base Models. One is a Max and the other a 1-Up. This 450 Can Am is way more squirrelly than the Polaris. Like a lot. Like I don’t want to even go close to top speed on the Can Am it’s that unstable feeling. Where with the Polaris its so smooth and confidence inspiring. Is something wrong with this Can Am 450? All 6 units are 2018’s....any ideas?
