Looking for some help!!! got a 2005 sportsman 500 HO and I have no high beam headlight, tried a new headlight/kill switch and that wasn't the problem, checked with volt meter and only have 7.00 volts going to one side of the pigtail where you connect the light bulb.

Hi guys,

First post, happy to be here to learn as much as I can! I searched but did not find a definite answer to my question.

I have a 2018 Sportsman 850, I am installing a 2" lift kit with the plans to install 29" tires (29x9x14 & 29x11x14). I'm pretty positive they will fit with no problems. I am using the stock 14" rims, how wide of spacers do I need? Will I need spacers for the rear as well?

Along with this lift I am installing the EPI Sport Utility Clutch Kit to better handle the larger tires. Has anyone had experience with these?

The tires I am going with are the SunF Power All Terrains. I have yet to see a bad review on these, does anyone have experience with them? I'm curious about yard damage, they look as though they would be pretty nice to the grass. I do a lot of yard work with my machine, the stock tires do tear some stuff up a bit when turning sharp (as I'm sure any tire would).

G'day. I'm new to the forum, and am looking forward to learning some tips and tricks. I've got two Sportsman 500s, one 2011 and one 1999. I do what work I can on my own, but need some guidance every now and again.

Cheers,

Hi! i'm new here.
I'm looking for the manual shop or wiring diagram for a bombardier quest 650 xt wiring diagram or manual shop that got cdi pin location and pin number. I downloaded the manual from manualvault.com but the pin wiring for the cdi doesn't match with wiring on bike.
Thank you.

Hello everyone,

Finally a proud owner of a new Sportsman 850. I hope to learn much information on this forum.

Guys, Newbie here to both the forum as well as Canam. I just bought a Defender Max 10HD Cab in Camo and need some side mirrors for both the driver and passenger sides. Can anyone recommend some mirrors that will fit the CAB DOORS? So far, it would appear that I can only find mirrors that fit the tube frame of the Defender that does not have cab doors. Any help is monumentally appreciated!!!

So I'm in the process of pulling the front diff out of my 02 700 Sportsman for another rebuild. It seems to be stuck in 4wd but only the front wheels are engaged, it won't spin the front wheel in reverse with the override button pressed or if I jack up all four wheels, only the rear wheels turn under power. Lots of grinding and scraping noise from the front but nothing in the oil or on the drain plug magnet. Anyway, I have everything apart but how do you get the differential out of the machine? I've seen and read lots of write ups about rebuilding the diff but does the front end and radiator have to come off? Unbolt the bottom steering support? Thanks

I have had my bike a little over a month now, had a couple minor incidents riding over the memorial day weekend and need a couple factory parts replaced and was checking where to buy?

My son was shooting a BB gun near my bike and a ricochet hit the 1000r sticker and put a almost hole in it. Also the plastic bumper guard caught a tree and blew apart, I saw some aftermarket options but don't want to go that way yet.

Also was gonna grab some oil and do a oil change shortly, I have around 15hrs on there now. Thanks Jay

Have new battery (fully charged) and solenoid. When start button pushed, just a click at the solenoid.
I jumped the posts at the solenoid and just sparks.
Ran a cable from the positive post of the battery to the positive terminal on the starter. Again just sparks.
Any help appreciated.
