Recently had to rebuild the harness from stator to the regulator, where the two sections are joined by a plug (under the sear area) had melted due to the regulator side having undersized wiring. Apparently it was an issue created by a changeover to a higher output stator by Can Am, but they didn't upgrade the wiring to the regulator. I've redone those three yellow wires in 10 gauge, with a kit to also replace the connectors at the regulator.

I'd seen a few threads on this forum about the issue, and it was suggested to also upgrade the red and black wires coming out of the regulator to 10 gauge. I have the new plug and wires ready to put in, but for the life of me I can't figure out where those wires end up. They disappear into the harness, and short of cutting the entire harness open to trace them, I'm not sure what to do. If someone can tell me where they go, (and pictures would be a huge plus) I'd appreciate it.

My other inclination was to cut them off and wrap them up, and then just wire the new plug direct to the battery, since I'm relatively certain the voltage coming out of the regulator is being sent to the battery eventually anyways to charge it, so I suspect that would work. But if possible I'd prefer to run them to the factory locations so everything is copacetic. Any help would be appreciated.

My buddy has a 2010 CanAm Outlander 800 that I occasionally work on for him. I recently had to rebuild the harness from the stator, it had the undersized wiring to the regulator and turned the plug between the two sections into a melted puddle of crispy plastic. Also put in new rear axles today. Need to get a question answered on the harness and then it'll be back in service for him.

I have to change the o ring under the timing chain tensioner housing. The service manual mentions using the TDC position tool 529036201 Is this tool really necessary for the job?

What's all entailed swapping engine from 2008 800 sportsman to 2010 800 ranger. Is it a head ache with electronics? I assume the base engine is the same also?

Does anyone know who manufactures or where I can find a connector for the ecm on my 2004.5 sportsman 400? its not covered under the recall which sucks because it is the same style ecm box and problem happening to this connector. Any information on who makes these connectors would be greatly appreciated....The dealer informs me I would have to buy a new harness to get it from them.

Anyone have any issues installing the mud n wheels torque series diff in a 2017 xmr 850? Seems that right side inner cv dust flange is contacting the diff case

Does anyone know if I can buy the foam for a seat or a new seat that isn’t so expensive?

Hello group,

My Wife and I are interested in picking up a new 2-up, ATV. I've been eyeballing a Sportsman 570.

I figure if we find something we like, I'll put a little down and finance. As of yet, I have not asked for any quotes. Not ready to open the dealership flood of pings just yet. Rather, would like a little insight, since I've never purchased an ATV before. Especially going through a motorcycle dealership, etc.

Everywhere I look online, I see MSRP prices quoted. What's the general take here?

- Folks should expect $1K+ off of MSRP? More? (Just trying understand the going rate).
- The dealership will try to add doc fees and other fees? Try to roll-in an extended warranty?

If it's the same routine as a car, ok, no worries. I can handle the folks in the back room (Finance) just fine.

Would appreciate any of your insight from a recent purchase.

TIA,
-Jav
