Well i want to buy a can am out-lander 450 but i see theres problems with them or any can am but i love can am. Are some the problems because of people that dont take care of them or is it just the manufacturer. Im just worried that ill have to eventually have to fix it every time i go out. im talking about the diff, axles, fuel pumps... i understand every 4 wheeler has a problem like that but i feel like i see it more in can am or is that just me?

Hey guys,

Just got a 2013 Can Am Outlander 500 base with 90 hours for 4k, looking forward to learning all the in's and outs. Came from various different brands of 4 wheelers and motorcycles. Had a Can Am dirt bike back in the early 80's.

Hi Everyone ! Need some wisdom and direction from you guys and gals ! Purchased a Used Glacier II Plow System, Blade, and Plow Frame off Craigslist (probably my first mistake). Guy told me he didn't have the mount, it was on a 2006 Polaris Sportsman 800 that he had sold many moons ago, anyway of course I heard the ol' " you can pick one up off ebay for 80 bucks or whatever, which usually means there are none actually on the planet, and probably would have to hire Elon Musk to fly me to Mars and find one ! Ok enough of the jokes..... I took a chance, since it was in such good shape, and of course I can't find one anywhere. I've narrowed it down that the Plow Frame is from 2012, part# 2878821... I've looked at about 1000 different mounts and some look like its possible they could work. I have a 2015 Polaris Sportsman 570, of which no Plow Mounts are actually made for this machine. My question is, has anyone out there tried any other mounts for the Glacier II, either for Atv's or Utv's and have they worked on a newer Sportsman, Its the Lock and Ride, so that may be harder to figure out, Can any of the exsisting Mounts from other models be modified to work with my 570..... Any help would be appreciated......

hey guys I'm trying to find a lock and ride rear storage box for my 1000 xp. The polaris website lists the xl box and only it ! , I currently have the part number 287176 rear storage box from my 800 efi but it does not fit my xp due to the rear rack extender being in the way does any one know if the "ultimate series" rear storage box 2882882 fits the older xp chasis atv ?

Does anyone out there have the bimini roof for the X3. If so what is your opinion of it, how is it holding up, and any other experiences with it.

Thank you.

bought an 98 500 without a battery installed. Does anyone have a diagram or picture of the cables coming off of the battery going t the relays? I have new cables to install but want to avoid wiring it up backwards! any help would be appreciated!

Good day everyone. I’m trying to hunt down the Oetike clamp size for the torsion bar cover on my Outlander. I wanted to see if I could hunt one down on the inter web and skip the dealer.

My son and I went riding at my friend's house yesterday. We had been riding a couple of hours, and I was riding along when I turned to look at my son and noticed he, nor anyone else, was behind me. I didn't think he had wrecked because the part we were on was very tame. I turned and went back and he was stopped and off the ATV and a couple of the other guys was looking at it. I asked what was wrong and they said it wouldn't stay cranked.

I was worried it was the battery because the battery is bad, and I've had to jump it and charge it lately. I told him not to cut it off while we were riding. But that wasn't it. When you start it, it would idle a few seconds and cut off. As it sat longer and we cranked it more it seemed to idle longer. But any time you tried to start off it would die. I put it in neutral and any time I revved it to around 2250 RPM it would cut off. The guys was certain it is the spark plug. I didn't have an extra so my friend took it back to his house, cleaned it with a plug cleaner he had, and brought it back. We tried it but still the same thing. My experience with plugs is that when they're bad they won't start, but I've never seen a bad plug cause it to stop running while it was in motion. He was going along and he said he could feel it losing power until it cut off.

Any one have any ideas?

Can we get a dune test?

Every time an OEM releases a new-from-the-ground-up vehicle platform, it’s always a race to see which aftermarket companies are the first to deign, engineer and fabricate new products and get a jump on the market. When it comes to the new Polaris RZR RS1, it looks like SDR Motorsports is winning that battle at present. In less than a week, SDR Motorsports and a handful of partners were able to bring this bad RS1 to life. It includes products from HCR Racing, Heretic Studio, Sandcraft Motorsports, Buggy Whip Inc, Simpson, OMF Performance, Walker Evans Racing, Trinity Racing and of course, a custom cage and bumper by SDR Motorsports.

I have a 2016 sportsman 850sp. I've notice these past few rides it has a bit of a rattle/chatter. Seems like a loss of power not alot though. Iam going to swap plug and check the belt when it warms up a bit. And want to check/ adjust the valves since its getting close to 100hrs.. and 1600km. My question is how to i go about doing this? I would like to do this myself has it's a bit of a hassle to bring it in. Any information would be appreciated thanks.
