I want to buy an outlander max xt or xtp, somewhere between 2013 and 2017 depending on model/cost.

I can't find a place that lists whats new every year, so I don't really know what model year I should buy.

Also, how old is it ok to buy? How many km old?

I don't want to overpay for too new, but I don't want to overpay for something too old that isnt worth much.
A new 1000 xtp is over 20 000$ CAD with some options, so it doesn't make sense to me for the occasional trail/woods/hunting use... I would rather find an xt or xtp slightly used around 10 000$...

I want to know just how happy or unhappy you are with your rides. How do you like the actual ride of the unit? Does it ride pretty smooth over Rocky terrain or at the end of the day does it leave you wanting more? Is it super hot in the cab or not too bad? Just how hard are they to work on? I've heard they are very hard to work on. The rear suspension looks more vertical than I would think it should be, any thoughts on the matter? How often are you having to repair your units? Do you wish you would have gone with a different model?? Tell me anything and everything you've got! Thanks!

I just recently purchased a 2004 Sportsman 400 that has been sitting for about 3 years. Before it was parked the fuel was drained. I’m not mechanically inclined but figured this would be a good project. So far I’ve replaced the battery, changed the spark plug, did an oil change and flushed the radiator. Tried to start it up and only got a clicking sound. What should I try and do next?

Thanks in advance!

Can anyone suggest a forum vendor or recommend the best place to buy atv tires from? Ive researched brand and size to death and am just ready to buy! Recomendations based on bedt prices/service would be appreciated.. thanks

I destroyed a factory 2015 XMR rim this weekend, by forgetting to put a brake caliper bolt in. The brake caliper came loose and destroyed the inside on the rim. :th_smiliepissed:
I know the rims are ITP SS312 14 inch rims, but I have no idea about the rest: bolt pattern, back space etc. and the ITP website has several to choose from....The tires are the stock 30 x 9 -14 silverbacks. Any help would be greatly appreciated and get me back riding!

I have the above ATV. The right side inner CV boot ripped. I down loaded the manual on the internet. I saw on there that the outer joint should have a snap ring to get the joint off. I looked at both ends of the joint....inner and outer. There isn't any place taken away on the cage where the snap ring resides.

Is this typical, or is it an aftermarket CV axle? I'm even having trouble getting the axle out of the transmission.

Any suggestions on what to do in order to replace the boot?

Thanks,

I recently purchased a 2005 Predator 500 and the key switch was moved to the right fender.
I have found the hot wires and have connected to 2 red wires leading back to the start switch on the handle bar. The bike starts and all lights work but there are 2 black wires and 2 brown wires in the same area as the red and the switch but they are not connected to anything. Anyone have any ideas what the black and brown might be for??
Thanks

I bought a new 16 570 sportsman in the summer of 16, that winter I did the first service at 15 hours in preparation to plow some snow. My initial plan was to change all the fluids once a year but I got busy and didn't go on any rides. As of today it only has 25 hours on it, no mud no water just work around my property. I have changed the oil and filter but curious about the other fluids, it's been about 14-16 months but only 10 hours of riding. Needless to say we have had no significant snow to plow so it hasn't seen any hard work.

Because of an injury I haven't been able to ride much. But I need my Wheeler to work when I need it.

I Started it recently to move it out of the lawn mower's way - ran fine for a few minutes. When I went to Re-Start it it cranked FOREVER then backfired REAL loud. Now it won't start!? It fires while cranking - maybe twice, Put Put - but will not run and stay running.

It has been running a little rough and back firing but it goes away after it runs for a while. I always make sure to get it to operating temp before it sits for weeks.

I am lost on how to trouble shooting this - I've read lots of No Start posts here and am spinning my wheels. There are no codes on the display. When I turn the key to 'On' I hear what sounds like water boiling near the fuel tank - is that the fuel pump?

It is due for factory service in 5 hours (the thing has under 700 mi on it and I had to replace the fan last year!) Other than that The thing has NEVER given me any trouble. I prefer to NOT take it to a dealer. I do most of my own maintenance and I WILL say that I take very good of this and all my toys.
I'm stumped - Any suggestions for me?? I'll give more info as needed.
Thanks in Advance
