I need to install a snow plow on my 2018 Can Am Defender DPS5, but I need access to the frame. What is the best way to remove the rivets/screws that hold the skid plates in?

I recently picked up a 2011 sportsman 850xp and I'm goin through it now repairing whatever need to be fixed. I've got oil in the air box so I have the new breather kit on the way. I was just wondering if y'all put silicone on the valve cover gasket when your putting it back together? I noticed some old silicone on the front part of the gasket so I was just making sure. I also noticed a little leak coming from the seal while I was taking it apart. Any info would be appreciated, Thanks.

clean, runs great, new, front brake & rotors, carb, fuel pump, fuel lines, batt, (all works)
$2500 obo

I should have just cut it free.
Weak plastic parts.
So I ordered a new valve off Ebay for $8, it is a 'JB Racing' part, comes with a 1 yr warranty.
Is it any good?

Hey guys, just picked up my new 18 850 sportsman. Having some alignment issues with the squareness of the front tires to the rears.

Is there a pdf file for a FSM on here for my bike? Thanks a bunch!

My new-to-me 2015 850 SP EPS is wandering like crazy! I adjusted the toe, thinking that would fix it.. but it didn't. You'll be riding along, and it will just randomly dart from one side to another. Not all the time, but sometimes. Probably 25-30% of the time. It's damn irritating.

Given that this thing has 4300 miles on it, I'm wondering if the tie rod ends and/or ball joints are in need of replacement? The rubber boots on the tie rod ends are either badly cracked or missing entirely, but they "look" good otherwise. I can jiggle the handlebars slightly and there is no movement in them... what miniscule amount of play there is appears to be in the steering column itself (and it's very miniscule, i.e. appears normal).

The tires are new GPC Dirt Commanders, 27" size. It did it on the old stock tires too (which were the original Carlisles), but I imagine the deeper lugs of these tires exacerbate the problem. I got the wheels and tires on Craigslist as a package deal, so the tires weren't my first choice. Hard to pass up a brand new set of wheels and tires for $450 though. :)

So anyway... what do you think? Ball joints? Tie rods? Both? Neither? Bueller?

Thanks! :)
