Hey gang!

I just signed up for a guided fall color tour next month in northern lower michigan. it is a 120 mile round trip. For some of you guys that have gone on extended rides what would you suggest we bring?

I have a small storage container that came with my quad (part number 708200255) that i will have our cell phones and wallets in. I will also have a 2 gallon gas can attached to the rack as well.

I also am currently under the 10 hour service (63 miles and like 6 or 7 hours of run time), but this trip will more than take me over that mark. Should i just do the service early, or do that 10 hour service after the ride? (riding from 915am, break around lunch, and back around 5pm).

When i purchased my outlander i was given a free CGX3 camera. For this ride, where would be the best place to mount the camera? Handle Bars? Helmet? Front Bumper?

So I'm trying to do this (See picture).... and I can't find a 1/4" Y at any store around here. I could order one, but I need it now. I have the plastic off right now for a different reason, so I want to get at this while it's accessible. Everyone has a T in stock though. Would it REALLY matter if I used a T?

Hi all, just picked up a 17 renegade 850, previous owner changed brake pads. RR caliper is leaking. Hard to say if it’s by the banjo or not. Applying rear brakes produces a creak, my past bikes, quads include a TRX 450R & a 500 exc. so I’m a little green on this one. It’s got 220 miles on it, 150 which I’m sure were really put on hard. Only other issue is the rear bumper, looks like it had a speaker box on the linq rack & it broke the crossbars in the rear bumper that support it. I’d like to change it to the oem tubular bumper I’ve seen on other xxc, just wondering if this plain aluminum one has to be in place to have the tubular one, can’t get an answer from local dealer. And has anyone ever used a candoo home, to program or wipe the dealer installed banner on the dash? Sorry for the questions, but that’s what forums are for, right?

I just bought 2011 550 with EFI and noticed that the shifter can be difficulty to move at times. After a little research I learned that a high idle can be one of the culprits (>1150 RPM) and mine is 1650-1700 when fully warmed up. Any ideas on how to lower the idle? Thanks

Just bought a used '09 Trailblazer 330 for my wife. Needed fresh gas, oil and trans fluid change but in pristine condition cosmetically aside. Today we went for a ride and it suddenly lost electrical power and shut down (no lights, indicator lights, nothing.) We were 2 miles from home so I was able to get it home in my pickup but after getting home it had power when I tried again, started then shut down again. Any suggestions? Ignition connection possibly?

Hello all,
Recently I acquired a 97 Sportsman 500. Just bought 4 new tires, going to install a Bad Lands 3500 Harbor Freight winch this weekend and now I am looking for a plow setup. I never thought that this could be so confusing. While searching for plows and reading up on the specifications, many of them are not compatible with the 97 Sportsman. Not looking to spend a whole lot, as the plow may be used a couple of times each winter and not a lot of property to plow just a driveway and parking area.
Might some of you have some suggestions?
Thank you in advance for taking the time to read and consider my post.

Dealer has one still in the crate at a very good price. Any issues with these to be aware of?

So I changed the battery recently and had to replace a 5amp fuse. So now it starts fine, but only sometimes. Other times nothing. Turn the key and the speedo lights up but nothing far as ignition...silent.
