2019 can am xmr 1000 questions

Hello all,
Thinking of purchasing a 2019 can am xmr 1000. Can anyone who has one give me a little insight into the changes? Does the suspension changes make a big difference in the ride? The newer fox shocks with the front sway bar and redesigned A arms. How about the ITP Cryptid tires? Does it drive and handle better than past models. I know it is not an XTp but I would like to also use it to trail ride too. Is it worth purchasing vs buying a xtp and relocating the rad and adding larger tires and a clutch kit?
Thanks
Pete

Outlander 570 Noise from rear differential

I have about 4.5 hours now on my 2018 Outlander 570. Really loving this machine, but kind of worried about a clunking noise I hear when I get on and off the throttle. Like excessive play in the drive train in the rear.

I crawled underneath to see if the driveshaft was loose, it was not. I took it out of park and move the drive shaft back and forth duplicating the sound noticing the pinion walking in and out slightly causing the sound. Is this end play in the pinion normal? Does anybody else notice this sound getting on and off the throttle sharply?

Outlander 400 engine, 2007 in a 2011??

Hello all,

I recently acquired a 2011 Outlander for dirt cheap. As it turns out the dude I got it from ran the oil dry. I have access to a 2007 engine. I am assuming since they are both Gen 1s the engine will fit. Am I correct in assuming this? I looked through the pervious posts and couldn't come up with the answer.
Thanks!

’07 Hawkeye 4WD problem

the Hawkeye doesn't have a lot of fans, but it suits my needs just fine; or did before the 4WD crapped out & blew a fuse. Left me sitting in the middle of the field, completely dead. Managed to tow it up the hill, onto the trailer, & into the local dealer. They checked it out over a couple weeks before giving me the bad news; $1,000 to fix it, at which point I decided I'd live with 2WD.

Fast forward 2-3 years. Get a new neighbor, who says he had the same problem with his non-Polaris bike, and a new servo fixed it.

Does this sound logical? I haven't a clue. Just don't need to go buying parts I don't need.

2019 Power Steering and voltage reg. Any better?

Hi, I have dealt with power steering failing within 20 miles of ownership. Also the Voltage regulators issues.
Have those parts been rectified or improved from the 2019 on?
Thanks for any replies. I used to own a 2017 570, which sold after headaches with the above issues. If the 2019 is improved on those areas, I wouldn't mind giving Polaris another go.
