hey
well just wanted to ask how much of a new bottle 473ml do you put in your tanks?
1/4
1/2
full?
I just put less then a 1/4 in and may already see a difference as the quad doesn't spike on idle as much
thanks for the input

New guy, have some questions.
Hey everybody, I'm looking to buy a new Sportsman in the next few weeks and just have a few questions that I hope you can answer. I've narrowed my choices down to either the XP 850 or 850 touring. One thing I noticed is that there are a few visual differences between the two, different front and rear ends, different exhaust, etc... Is there any difference functionally? Or is it just cosmetic? It will only be used for local trails and yard work. My wife isn't really interested in riding along but I have a two year old son who will want to go for rides when he gets older. That's why I'm considering the 2 up version. I do like the looks of the single seat better though and by the time he's old enough to ride I'll probably just get him his own little one, hence my dilemma between the two models. Any other benefit to the 2 up over the regular?

2003 sportsman 90 replaced harness with new one. Won’t crank with handlebar switch. Can jump starter and cranks. Any insight would help.
dealer screwed me
hi all,
so i went this saturday of the long weekend to pickup my new 2018 xmr 850. this was a 5 1/2 hour drive for me, one way. didn't mind though because i was buying brand new according to the salesman i was dealing with. so i arrived between 12-12:30 like i had told them. i had to stand around for awhile because they had to get ahold of the sales guy, because he was not in that day(didn't know that) after waiting a half hour or so they took me in the back to show me, and go over the bike. as the guy is showing me things i point out the antifreeze is below the minimum mark so he topped it up. then noticed the oil on the dipstick was low(oh, he says) and tops it up.then proceeds to show me the instrument cluster, this i when i notice it shows 9.37 hrs and 5.6 kms! when i mention this i'm told it has already been droken in. i don't have to worry about doing it. ??? this is thee main reason i bought brand new. so i would be doing the break in myself correctly. when questioned about this i was told that while in the showroom it had a misfire and had already been in for a warranty claim for a timing chain and a injector. but not to worry, the 10 hr maintenance was already done. and basically the papers were signed it was mine. to me this is a USED xmr!! am i correct on this?

Overheating no reason
I have a 2017 Can-Am Renegade XMR 1000. The four wheeler overheats for no reason when I am riding in the trails doing 10mph. I have a radiator relocate kit and the fan comes on. I do run water as coolant because the first time it overheated, all of the coolant came out. I live in Lower Alabama so it does get very hot and dusty. I do not have aftermarket exhaust or programmer. What is the isue?
28x10x12 gorilla silverbacks running psi?
