400 Outlander with new metal ‘clinking’ or ‘knocking’ from top side
Hi,
Our outlander 400 is a 2006 and has nearly 3000 miles on it. WE have never swamped it and have always changed oil and filters on time with good quality synthetic 40w oil. We had to pack a bunch of 'toys' on a small utility trailer so we towed the quad with the front wheels draped up over the front wall of a utility trailer. Basically it was parked at a 45 degree angle with front wheels up over the front wall of the trailer. It sat that way over night and in the morning we saw oil on the floor of the trailer. We then leveled it back out, replaced a tiny bit of lost oil, and it ran fine. We then transported an hour to the trails, ran it a few hours, ran it back an hour on the trailer in same position, it sat outside overnight in that position, and then we cleaned everything up in the morning. There was another small puddle of oil under the rig the next day. I have no idea if a little oil came out of the dipstick or where it could come out of. If there was a way oil got out then there is a possibility that water got in when we power washed.
We ran it that day and it had a knocking noise on the top end. Hard to tell exactly where but it seemed to be a bit more noticeable on the left side rather than right. I tried to see if it could be coming from the clutch (right side) but too hard to tell. It was a very metallic clink clink clink in time with the exhaust beat.
So I checked oil and it seemed a bit 'runny' on the dipstick but didn't notice any separation or sign of water in oil. I changed it immediately. That didn't help at all.
No change in how it runs or idles. I don't want to run it hard for fear of doing more damage but a leisurely ride on pavement suggests normal power and acceleration, no hesitation, miss, or idle issues.
The frame is no longer straight and the plastic is a bit rough, the muffler has a hole on the bottom side, it is mostly used as a utility quad around the house and the kids do a little trail riding. I'm not ready to pay for a engine tear down and rebuild, but I'm willing to put some effort and money into getting a correct diagnosis and a good idea on what the damage is or how easy it is to fix.
Could it be clutch noise and how do I isolate? Run with the clutch (clutches?) off?
Is there a way to inspect parts related to the piston, rod, etc without separating the engine?
Assuming that a little oil loss or storing the quad on a 45 had nothing to do with this and this was just a normal wear and tear failure that just happened to happen at the same time, what is the most common thing that ends up making the metallic clinking sound? Is there some troubleshooting?
I read about the loose bolts on the clutch that can make a clicking sound but this sound more like it is a metal clink from the top front of the engine.
I can try to record it with my phone and upload maybe to youtube but not sure if the microphone will pick it up correctly.

Coolant weep hose
After last ride of muskeg and some water hole notice my vent line had been knocked off, is it possible for mud and water to get in there( I assume so) how far into the water pump should I go to check and clean if necessary?
Can-Am Outlander XMR snow plow set up
Does anyone know of any snow plow mounting systems that will work on a '19 Outlander XMR 1000 that has a factory installed full aluminum skid plate? Or, a plow system that will work with minimal modifications to the skid plate? Thanks.
Post Ride
Hello everyone! I’m am new to the atv world! I have a 2018 outty 570 dps. I’m curious if anyone has a check list of things they like to go through after a ride to assure it’s ready for the next trip! After each ride I already power wash my machine and lube/grease all the suspension parts. Anything else I should pay attention to?

Need ideas to plan a fall atv trip
So some buddies and I were thinking we'd plan a 3 or 4 day atv trip this fall and rent a cottage that's atv friendly but I'm not really sure where to go (maybe Muskoka)
What we'd like
-Accommodations for 3-5 guys
-Close access to trails
-Within two hours North of Toronto
-No guided or beginner tours
-long trail system
If anybody has planned a trip like this in that area any advice on where to stay and ride would be helpful.
