Speedometer don'twork

Hello everyone. I have 2 issues going on here.

First issue here is went out for a ride yesterday everything was good. End of the ride all my coolant leaks out of the res from overheating... First question how often am i suposed to see cooant move threw the overflow hose? Because everytime thr machine warms up i can see the fluid moving then the fan comes on and it moves the other way. The whole ride the fluid is usually moving back and forth. Is it possoble bad rad cap??

Next issue im getting a popping/clicking noise from the front. Doesnt happe all thr timr somtimes it will do it continually for 20min then thr noise will disapear for half hour then come back.. I checked everything up front it looks tight. I herd the noise before but i out bigger tires and spacer up from then instantly thr noise got louder and more often.. Im thining its the cv joints.. How do i check them? Also the noise stays the same doesnt matter if its in 4 wheel drive or not and 4lock still works fine

Thank you in advance everyone for you help

Hello all, about to go shopping for my first can am, 2018 Renegade XXC triple black. I am curious what everyone has been able to negotiate off of MSRP on these? Would like to know what wiggle room the dealer has. Thanks!

Heres my question's
While switch is in 4X4 ADC mode
Does your Dash icon show Both 4x4 and ADC?
Does the ADC icon disappear while on the throttle?
Does the 4X4 icon disappear while the ADC icon is on?

I seem to recall that while in 4X4 ADC mode BOTH the ADC & 4X4 icons are BOTH on.
But this weekend I noticed while in 4X4 ADC only one or the other icon was on.
The 4x4 icon disappears when the ADC kicks in( off the throttle)
The ADC icon disappears when your touching the throttle


I have a 2015 850 .ADC is the front gear case,Does NOT have the separate ADC reservoir

I bought a Kimpex replacement battery for my Sportsman 570. There were no instructions with the battery and the dealer is closed on the weekend. I need the battery for tomorrow morning so I'm hoping to get some advice!

It's a YTX14AH-BS. So far I have added the acid, loosely placed the cap on and let it sit for about 45 minutes. I plan on letting it sit 2 hours total. My major concern is charging it. I have a 1 amp trickle charger and the instructions for the charger say a 14.7 Ampere Hour battery should charge for 15 to 18 hours. That seems rather excessive! Most videos online say 5 to 10 hours. What do you guys think?

Good morning all, I have been cruising through this forum for quite some time knowning I was going to get one...pulled the trigger yesterday on a used 2017 850. Throttle response is my issue. From the start there seems to a split second lag that will snap your neck if your not expecting it...is that common with these machines? After your rolling it’s instant but just the starts has me asking this question. Thanks!
P.S. Happy Mothers Day!

Hey, just picked up 2018 can am ds 250. Brought it home for a first ride and the throttle only goes in about 1/4 inch and yes I adjusted the screw out so it has maximum travel and the idle was super high, so adjusted the idle screw to try and turn it down, but it did nothing. Now I am stuck with a new machine with a high idle, I can get it into gear but it engages hard because of idle. Did I throw a code and that is why the idle is not adjusting?

Also in regards to the throttle, I keep reading about a throttle slide spacer limiting the throttle from full travel, does anyone know how to remove this?

Thanks,

My 4wd is only engaging sometimes, and its very slow. Also sometimes it engages with the override pressed while in 2wd.

I noticed my speedo is also boucing around and acting goofy intermittantly. I read somewhere (IIRC) that both the speedo and hubs use the same ground? Could this be the issue?

Thanks.

I recently got a 1998 Polaris Magnum 425 4x4 and am looking to do an oil change. The manual says to use oil Polaris oil part # 2871271. I can't find any info on this oil. What oil can I use?

Also what transmission oil can I use?
