Hey guys, I'm a newbie here, and I was wondering if anybody has used Niche cams in their quads. I'm looking at fixing up the farm's old Magnum 500 (1999 I think) that died some time ago. It was a good quad, but it needs a new cam, the recoil needs to be rebuilt (pulled out and won't go in), it needs a new starter and battery and maybe a couple other things I'm missing. It was running when parked, and by the time we got through pricing out parts with the dealer, it was cheaper to buy a new 500 to replace it. I'd like to try and fix it as it would be very useful, but I don't have the $$ to do it through the dealer. I've been looking online, mostly Amazon, and there seems to be a gold mine of cheap parts for this thing. As long as they are of decent quality, I'd be game for picking up a few things and slowly working on it over the course of several months amongst other projects.

Nothing will take place soon, but I'd like to see if anybody else used products of this brand, and what your thoughts are on it.

Thank you

Picked up a Can Am Superwinch Terra 45. Called up dealer where I purchased my Defender and he quoted me $500 install!! I literally laughed out loud and said that was more than what I paid for the winch. :eek

Anyhow....I've never installed a winch. From my research, this winch is specifically for the Defender and pretty much a "plug and play" install. Looking over the project, my only reservation is connecting the solenoid/contactor assembly under the dash. Everything else seems pretty straight forward.

I've installed everything on my machine so far. Never done a winch, but no way I'm paying for install. So is this something a novice can tackle?

Thanks!

This one is my buddies Outlander 500l. Stay tuned for more on this budget build!

Im looking to cool down my 2016 Outty XMR 1000. Im a new owner of this machine and I noticed this past summer I had issues with 1.) The exhaust would get so hot that it heated up some of my plastics which concerned me and 2.) My fan kicks on quite a bit. I use this quad for a various number of things including trail riding, mudding, ice fishing, and plowing. I have heard new exhaust, tuning, and other various solutions to this problem which I am okay with doing but I am also not looking for an extreme performance overhaul either. Again im very new to this so I am inexperienced with the tuning process as well. I want to get a new exhaust as well but I just need to know what direction to go as far as the overheating goes because this is my #1 priority with this machine. So any positive feedback and suggestions are greatly appreciated. My machine is all stock right now btw and I have just over 1000 miles on it. Also I am looking at looney tuned dual exhaust, they sound sweet and look good from what I have researched. Opinions and facts greatly appreciated.

I am attempting to install a new starter I'm my 92 350L. The problem I am having is removing the last starter bracket bolt near the clutch housing. There is no room to get a wrench. I removed the clutch housing cover off Hoping there was access inside...no go. Was thinking of drilling a large access hole to get at the bolt. Then plug it with a rubber plug or something. Any better ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Used it for the firstborn time today.
Made life easy.

My question is why aren’t the front wheels “on” when the switch is in “ADC 4x4?”

Regular 4x4 shows them on.

I put a new carb on an 04 700 but I have a lean spot when I blip the throttle. How do I richen it up?

Considering my new 2018 machine coded after 5 hours of running, I'm wondering if I should get the extended warranty? Without reading into it, not sure what all is covered so I thought I'd throw it out there..........any suggestions?

Hey new to the forum, gonna buy a magnum 325 this weekend, iv seen some floating around with a 2 inch lift but the only one I could find were for the magnum 330s or higher. Would a lift for a 330 or 500 work on a 325? Any info would help. Thanks

I seemed to have mis-placed my manual. Can anyone tell me the capacity? or where to look to find it?

Thanks
