Hi Folks, I need some help. was driving my 2014 Can-Am side by side commander max 1000 when it started losing power until it stalled and have not been able to get it to start since. I have taken most of it apart to see everything, i've checked all fuses all connections fuel is going to the injectors but i don't seem to have any spark. i was wondering if it could be one of the ignition modules. Any ideas???

Hey guy im new here... i got a 98 sportsman 500 cheap.. well im finding out why... so heres my problem.. it all started when i first got it it will not exceed 30 mph! So i though it was the belt i replaced that didnt fix it then i bought a brand new carb. It fixed it!! It would fly 65 mph and would accelerate fast! After my first 60 mph ride about a quarter mile i got home and smelt antifreeze well the radiator was empty... so i added more and strted it up it ran good then shut it off... tried to start ot again... and antifreeze was pouring out of the exhaust! So i replaced the head gasket started it up it idles great but it right back to only going 30 mph!! I took it to the shop to fix the adjusted the valves and replaced the spark plug... it still wont go over 30 mph!! I checked the cam its perfect! Its got new gas new fuel filter new carb... Help any ideas?!?!

Hi Everyone,
I am pretty new to repair and maintenance, but trying to learn. I recently inherited a 2007 Hawkeye 300 ATV and have changed out all the fluids, battery, filters, etc.

I drained the Demand Drive fluid and black goopy fluid dripped out. So I put in some fresh fluid until it was up to the bottom thread of the fill plug on the gearcase. Actually it overlowed a little, so I let it drip out and cleaned it all up. Everything seemed great, but the next day I started finding drips and then puddles. It appears to be coming out of the joint (see pictures). I am not sure on all the terminology of these parts but any help in diagnosing this problem is greatly appreciated!!

So I was just about to pull the trigger on 2018 Max XTP 850 when I noticed BRP REDUCED MSRPs on 2019 650 Outlanders by $400 and $750 on 850s. There was no mention of 1000 price reductions. Does anyone know if BRP will reduce rebates on 2019s later in the year to offset the MSRP price reductions, or will they stay the same? I’m torn now whether to get an 18 or 19 model. I currently have a 650 Max XT, so there’s not a major rush for me to purchase other than I like the triple black color scheme better than the black/yellow scheme on the 2019.

I have stripped my engine oil plug hole how can I fix it myself?

Hi I`m new to the forum and just recently purchase a 2014 Sportsman 570 but I am having some issues with it. After the machine warms up it does not run very well. It started out where it would sputter when driving around 20mph or slower and would stumble on acceleration but now it is getting worse it will die out sometimes when the engine is coming to an idle and sometimes wont really accelerate at all it will just kind of sputter. I replaced the fuel pump and spark plug but they made no difference. I don't have a check engine light on. Anyone know anything else I should check or try? Thanks

Has anyone tried to install the Left Hand block off from a 2018 on a 2017? How well did it fit?

It would be item #3 in this link:

In the market to switch from an outlander to a defender. I have a 6x10foot trailer with rear lifting loading ramp. According to the online specs the defender measures 120 inches. Is this accurate? Does anyone know if the defender fit in the trailer? I should maybe mention the trailer has side walls measureling 15in.

Thanks in advance
