My choice! 2019 850 xxc

Well, I finally decided to go with the 19’ 850xxc, got a great deal on it.
Haven’t ridden it yet just around the block and I must say, this bike is a beast! Can’t imagine what the 1k feels like.
So I was reading the owners manual, and it says the factory suspension settings are as follows:
Front HS comp- 2.25 turns ccw from full
LS comp- 2.25 turns ccw from full
Rebound- 12 clicks ccw from full

Rear is the same. Do these settings seem ok to start from?
What are your stats ie: rider weight, sag, shock settings, and type of terrain you mostly ride.

2018 max xtp

Hey guys. Im new to this forum but not to brp. Had a renegade before.

I do have a few questions/ issues with this one. My first and biggest question is with the fox qs3. Ive tried searches but didnt really get anywhere. Im 280lbs no gear. While i find it rides great with just me on it, it sags quite a bit with a passenger on. I tried turning the preload to max, nothing. Tried adjusting the compression. I mostly leave it on 2 but when its on 3 it is a rather stiff ride even with a passenger. Do they make stiffer springs for these shocks? I can get springs for the rc2, but will they fit the qs3? Is revalving the rear shocks a good option or do all 4 need to be done? Btw, the front shocks are perfect to me. Not sure what my best option is...

Secondly, my 10hr break in is up. Ill be changing all the oils. Im in quebec. Ive read that people use 5w40 rotella(which i have on hand) to amsoil 0w/40. I have some ipone 0w40 snowmobile oil here that i use in the sled. Meets api sn according to their website. Would there be any issues in running this oil?

Thanks in advance!

New hand guards..

So the xt hand/wind guards bothered me something fierce! Got the XMR style... what PITA to put on!!!

My fox podiums will be here next week, springs will be powder coatedAttachment 83460Attachment 83462 red. That will hopefully tie it all in nicely. I didn’t have my red halos on, but I imagine that helps.

2017 Sportsman XP 1000 Sway bar problem!

Got a problem with my sway bar and wanted to know if any of you had the same problem. My sway bar shifted a bit to the right, so doesnt sit perfectly in the middle.( So off set to the right) It also rubs a bit on the left coil spring because of this. I chamged the bushings, and even bought a new sway bar...no change still shifted. Dont know if this is normal or not??

Hi Yall

I was given a 04 Sportsman 700 EFI baskets case and it was missing some parts.
If got the motor running but have a code 51. I installed reman. injectors from Ebay can afford $550 for new. New plugs and fuel pump. New crank sensor.
I've checked all of the wires and plugs, cleaned and repaired any problems and used an ohms meter to check for short's. I don't know where to turn and could use some help.
I said it runs but won't hold an idle and use the throttle cable adjustment to keep it running.
Thanks
