Couple questions 😀 how fast should you be going in low gear until you switch to high? And also what's the best type of gas to use in the sportsman 570?

14 xmr 650
My 2014 650 XMR. Mods so far include 6" SATV lift, 29.5 x 10 Terminator, color matched wheels, light bar, green rock lights, snorkel extension risers. Has been an awesome machine.
850 front diff. In a 570?
Can i put a front differential from a 850 in my 570? mine has less than 300 mile on it and the input shaft wobbles pretty good. I was thinking a 850 diff. might be a little more robust. just curious!
RPMs on Sportsman 450
Is there a general rule of thumb for safe rpms for certain driving speeds? For example 20 mph - 2000 rpms....30 mph 3000 rpms or does it depend on the make and model or engine size? My 2007 currently idles at its best at 1650 rpms and at 20 mph it runs at 4000 rpms. Do I have any need to worry?
New Outlander owner, I may be having an issue….
Thanks to everyone ahead of time! I new to Can Ams. I just bought a nice 2012 Outlander 1000 XT camo with only 500 miles. So this weekend I went through it all servicing all the fluids and filters, greased, etc. Tonight my wife asks if I was doing something with it because the tail lights were on. I go out, the tail lights and the display both came on by themselves. I start messing with it then the display says new ecu recognized? The ignition is off this whole time! I pull the key anyways it says pass key not recognized? It seems to be turning itself on-not starting or anything just on. Anyone had any issue with this or know where to look to fix it? I know it was the first of the G2 frame and you shouldn't buy the first year of anything new but it was a good deal and I had looked for a long time. Anything else I should be aware of this year/model? First and foremost I have to figure out this thing! Thanks!
wes expedition box has no waterproofing at hinge, anyone fixed that?
wes expedition box has no waterproofing at hinge, anyone fixed that?
Just bought that box, and seriously, it's ridiculous, there is no waterproofing at the hinge, meaning that there is a hole in the box, like 1 inch wide, and there is a plastic cylinder popped in to "hinge" the box.
That has to be the most BS non waterproof design I have ever seen on a cargo box.
Does anyone have that box, and how did you fix it?
I'm thinking about using a plastic toilet bolt cap caulked with silicon inside the box, but it's slightly too short, maybe I could make it longer with some plastic tubing or something....
Other than that (and the horrible top waterproofing, that I'll fix with decent weather striping....), the box is nice, fits well, install well, reasonable size, so I would like to keep it, if I can make it waterproof.
Ideas?

Stator ground wire placement ?
Hello
I am putting together someone else’s project. I am confused where the stator ground wire goes. I would think it would just attach to the spark trigger but the hole on the ground wire is not big enough?

Choke not working properly
I have a 2001 Polaris sportsman 500 H.O. It has less that 3000 km on the bike.
My problem is my choke will kill my bike if it’s the first start or if the bike is warmed up. Also in the winter it will kill the bike.
I can only pull the choke out about a 1/4 for about 2 seconds then bring it to 1/8 for about a second and then have to close it other wise it will kill the bike. The bike will start and warm up without the choke even in the winter. Never had a bike that didn’t need the choke and the choke would actually kill it.
