Hey guys, I bought a 2018 sportsman 850 SP touring model a couple weeks back and just took it out for it's first real adventure this weekend. Both the wife and I had a great time and were extremely happy with how it performed. However with both of us on board, the machine was riding pretty low.

I weigh 280, and my wife is about 170 so we're definitely shy of the 575 lbs max capacity (I know that figure includes fuel, winch, etc) but we plan to take our sportsman out camping with us in the warmer months, loading it up with potentially another 100 lbs and it'd be nice to have some of that ground clearance back. I've been researching the subject and it sounds like my best bet is to install the highlifter HD springs, and I know that the max capacity isn't just about clearance or when components start breaking, but general ride safety, and I had a few questions before I purchase anything.

• will the springs alone regain me some clearance, or will I also need new shocks? How much might I expect?
• how harsh will they make the ride when it's just me riding? (which will be about 50% of the time)
• will any other components need upgrading?

I'm not looking to be able to carry a half ton with me, but I'd like to be able to load it with up to ~700 lbs of rider, gas, gear, etc without bottoming out.

Thanks very much.

I have a 2015 sportsman 570 and am putting a Koplin 2500 lbs winch on the front of it. Can I install it so the power lugs are on the left side of the ATV then just pull the pull rope all the way out and rewind it? All the videos and the instructions for the winch show the lugs on the right side. Other wise I need to get longer power cables. Thanks

I have a 2011 850xp and was wondering if the new 1000xp parts were available to use?

Specifically I need a new front prop shaft and there s great deal on a 17' 1000xp take-off part that I would like to use if possible.

Thanks for any help.

Every time I click on the Can Am Forum website from my ipad, it shows this screen after about 30 seconds:

"Congratulations Amazon User! You've been selected for a chance to get $1000 Amazon Gift Card, Apple iPhone X 256G or Samsung Galaxy 8! Please click OK to claim your reward before it expires"

Can Am Forum website is the only website that has this happen when I visit the websites or search the internet. I never click on the fake ad since it is a virus/malware program that will infect my iPad.

I have even reset my ipad back to factory settings, which deletes all information on the ipad, and it still only shows up when I first visit the Can Am Forum website.

The only way I can access the Can Am Forum now it is through a dell laptop running windows.

Hey! ATV Parts and Accessories are Here

Started a thread to post drawings on special tools for fabrication your own analog tools. Would be nice to know if somebody has a special tool, to measure it and post this information here for reference. It makes it lot easier to know the excact sizes than trying to derive measurements from pictures or machine.

As a rule, will a Can-Am dealer do mod work using the after-market brake & skid plate suggestions I've been reading about here on the forum? And... how do these mods affect the factory warranty? Are the warranties voided as a result?

I wouldn't attempt to do them myself. I break toast just spreading butter:th_smilienoclue:

Great forum. Lots of valuable info & great people too. Thanks!

I have replaced the coil and the sleeve. I was very cautious when i installed it. Strut looks good. I have .001" clearance from sleeve to inner ring. New armature plate does not draw into place and does not stay even if I set it tight. I have 12.75v in both wires going to coil when I turn switch on. I tried forward and reverse, override button you name it?
