Serviced my 2017 1000 and discovered that the front U-joint on the front drive shaft is junk. The 1000 has 840 miles on it and I am disappointed to find the bad u-joint.

My question is, to remove the drive shaft is it as easy as knocking out the roll pin on the front pinion and then sliding the shaft towards the rear enough to get the front yoke off of the shaft?

Thanks in advance, that is what it looks like to me. I have had several Polaris machines and this is the first U-joint that has failed.

1995 trail boss head gasket blew my trusty mechanic will be doing the repair I’m looking online for replacement parts but not exactly sure what to look for when it comes to companies descriptions on what my package will or should consist of. I’m not sure if that makes sense I just want to make sure I get the right part

About a year ago I smelled smoke from under the seat of my 2010 Outlander 800R. A triple connector connecting three heavy yellow wires was melting. One side of the connector could not be saved so I cut off the remains and put three separate connectors on to replace that side. Now a year later it is smoking and melting again after the engine has been running for a few minutes. I have the circuit diagram but I can't be sure what the three wires are and if they should be drawing such heavy current. Can anyone tell be what these wire are for?
Ignore the battery below the connector in the picture. I had trouble finding a small battery to replace the original so I made a new bracket in the empty space below the engine and fitted a small car battery. It is much more convenient to access it.

2014 Scrambler 850xp h.o.

Anyone have access to a service manual for 2013 scrambler 850xp. I need to know how to take the radiator off. I'm getting hung up on something attempting to take it out. Have the front plastic off, hoses off, screws at top attaching fan, reservoir hose, and still cant figure out how to get it out. Does that metal brace in front of it come off?. I undid the bolts at the top, bottom and bottom back and cant figure how to get that brace off.

I have been ridding with a new 1000s sportsman and it came with Vipr tires and they seem to work very well in they late spring snow. What have people on the web site experienced with them . They come on the deluxe 1000s sportsman and you can get them from RMATV :eek

Hey guys,

I rolled my Outty Max XT-P twice today, doing donuts in a sandpit and I've got a question. The first time I rolled her, she rolled over on the left side but stayed running, so I just let her run until I could figure out how to roll her back over again. I was afraid that if I turned her off, she might not start back up again once rolled back up. Let me tell you...it's not easy rolling an 800 lb ATV over by yourself out in the middle of nowhere!

In any case, being the perfectionist I am...I reckon I figured rolling it half-way over wasn't good enough so I rolled her all the way upside down the 2nd time and she died pretty quickly. She ran for about a minute and then died. After I got her rolled back on all 4's again, I noticed what looked like antifreeze (green) coming out of the instrument pod (or around it). I can't tell where it's coming from but it smells like oil and has the texture of oil. There was also oil in my oil filter and after restarting the bike, she blew white smoke for a bit before clearing up.

Does anyone know what I might be seeing and where it might be coming from. I pulled the dash plastics and could not tell. I have not torn into the bike yet. I'm nursing some bruised ribs (and ego. Anything besides my busted up plastics that I should be worried about??? Thank you for any input you guys can give me!

I have a 2010 F-150 with the 6.5 foot box, I want to build an ATV riser so I can close the tailgate. How much of a riser do I need to build? ATV in question is a 2018 Outlander 850 XT

was looking at the mega mayhems, but IMO they are too much "mud" for my needs.
I want a tire that will still be smooth on high speeds gravel/dirt roads, so I guess that excludes "mud" tires like the mega mayhems.
I do gravel, forest trail with trees, rocks, some mud, etc.


So, I was looking at the:

GBC grim reaper , looks like a solid 8 ply compromise, that will work well on gravel roads yet be tough and resistant to punctures by rocks or trees.
ITP blackwater evolution (looks like a tamer version of the grim reaper?)
I don't know much about the mud lite xtr, looks ok also?

In that category of tires, should I just keep it at the stock 26 inch size? worth it getting 27 or not?

Right now I have the stock carlisle ACT tires. (same class as the bighorns, terracross, etc.... maybe a bit too tame for my needs? they are more appropriate for dirt/gravel roads imo?)


Opinions? I can't figure out what I want/need.
