My 2015 Outlander 650 MAX XT cooling fan is squealing away. It still works, but in the interest of reliability, I would like to replace BEFORE it totally fails and overheats the engine in our 100* days. The Spal website lists MANY different sizes. I would like to order my fan assembly before I tear everything down. Does anyone know the size of the stock setup? (diameter)
Gentlemen thank you in advance.

When will the 2019's hit the dealerships? Most interested in a Maverick X3, but a Renegade may be on the list as well. :th_smiliewoo:

Hello all.
Just joined the forum and looking to get back into the ATV scene. I have friends that ride and I used to have an old Rincon 450. Been looking at getting a new ATV in the near future and really have liked the Sportsmans. I am looking at getting an 850 and was wondering if there was any issues I should know about. I have looked at several other brands and honestly the only 2 that I have enjoyed so far are the Grizzly and the Sportsman but definitely 2 very different machines. I will mainly be doing trails/light mud/hills in Minnesota and plowing my 292 foot driveway. Still looking at plows or possibly even a snow blower attachment and will eventually change out the stock tires with Kenda Bearclaw HTR's. The main person I will be riding with has a 2016 Sportsman 1000 hunters edition.

Last time I rode was in 2016 and was on a few bikes back then. Again loved the Sportsman (most comfortable and great power) and Grizzly's (smoothest throttle). Didn't care for the Suzuki (lacked power and suspension was a bit loose) and the Can Am was great in a straight line but had more body roll than a 1970's Cadillac in the twisties.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Could someone tell me where those OEM BRP skid plates are made?

Well needing a new upper steering post bushing I mic’d the steering post at about 1”. As close as I could get with the gauge pod still on. I found a 1992-1996 sway bar bushing with strap from a f150 fit the dimensions I needed. Trimmed some off the tabs to make it the same width as the factory strap and it bolted right up.

I just bought these storage containers for inside the rear compartment and for up front in my trunk. I used to use a small Pelican case to store all my tools so I wouldn't have to worry about rust etc... but they are grossly overpriced for what they are.

I purchased these storage cases from a Canadian company called Hard Cases and the fella I dealt with was David. Awesome service and great products..... especially given the price! Website below.

I'm going to use the larger orange case for my tools, the smaller red one for a first-aid kit and the compact orange one will fit my insurance/registration, wallet and Iphone 8 Plus (with phone case) and has a bit of room to spare! The containers also come in a really great variety of colors. Here's a few photos for you guys. The latches are way better then the Pelican cases I've had in the past and the little orange case has a rubber divider in it to keep items strapped in so they don't bang around too much.

Hello,
Likely a stupid question, but my 2017 Outlander 450 is ready for the 100hr service, I had the 50 hour one done at the dealer back a few months back but the dealer wants $400 CAD plus tax for this service, and I think that it is not worth that much, and I have someone else that can do it cheaper then that.



I got the bike in November so it is still covered by its normal warranty from what I know, but when I brought it it came with a 5 year extended warranty as well. Wondering if they can void this warranty if I do not get it serviced at the dealer and do it on my own / get someone else to do it. Some of my friends tell me if you use their oils its fine but then others say you have to get it done there. The last thing I want is for the motor or something to go and them not cover it because I never got it done at the dealer.



Thank you.

Hi, just wondering if anyone has seen this before and has a fix, my son has a DS90 2016, has ran like a champ, zero issues until this weekend. all regular maint is done the last 2 years, new oil(s) and spark plug, air filter. we were out on trail prob 1/2 to 3/4 throttle, and it started to sputter, and loose all top end and sounds like its bogged down but still idles no problem. what we have done so far:
-Changed the spark plug on trail - No change.
-Check and and cleaned air filter - No change (and clean as if it was just put in)
-Replaced fuel filter - no change

-checked oil - clean and at the right level.
-Check gas tank lid to ensure it was venting


I am thinking either ECM or coil?



Here is a video of what its doing:

So twice now under hard load in 4 wheel drive I have heard what kinda sounds like a ratcheting sound coming from the front end. First time I was stuck on a stump/rocks trying to get off. The 2nd time was a couple weeks after that trying to climb a steep hill (that I probably should not have tired in the first place). This is a recent thing over the past month.

It's a 2015 Outlander BTW.

Thanks!!
