You guys that are adding sound systems, light bars, etc. - are you adding an additional fuse block for all that stuff? It appears that all the fuse positions on the stock HD8 are all used by Can-Am. Or, are you just using in-line fuse links for each item? I would prefer to have a separate fuse block and where to mount it?

I have a 96 trailblazer I rebuilt the master cylinder and cleaned up all the hoses I have no pressure on any of the brakes. It's very frustrating please help me out. It also won't accelerate it boggs out when you give it throttle but will idle fine. I will greatly appreciate your help and would like to thank you before hand for any advice or suggestions .

Besides the new rolled a-arms the lower headlights have 37.5 watt bulbs. Still had my 2012 550xp stock bulbs (50 watt bulbs) and they fit perfectly. We will see if they melt anything or turn on a voltage warning light. Also the front diff pinion gear is supported with a different material. It's not cast aluminum. Looks to be cast steel but don't have a magnetic in the garage to test it out

Hello all. First time poster here. Just bought a Predator 500. It ran (but didn't start on its own) when I bought it. I started tearing it down to get it running right, and I feel like I'm in over my head. Hopefully this forum will provide a wealth of information. Looking forward to learning!

I just bought a used side by side. The seller and his partner buy and sell lots of atv's and side by sides. They told me they currently have over 200K in inventory at their house and I confirmed this by looking at his craigslist adds. He put his name on the bill of sale but had the cashiers check made out to his partner, anything fishy about that? I looked the guy up and he has a few charges and he has a mug shot. I looked up the property listed and he does live there, but neither partner is the owner of the property. It's plausible he's renting , but also seems odd that he could afford that much in inventory but rents. I looked up the VIN# of the side by side and it's clean, he also gave us the title from a previous owner, so i'm not worried about it being hot. What my main concern is I think there is a lot of tax evasion going on. Don't get me wrong I see no need for small occasional sellers of used stuff to report sales tax especially when most people take a loss on vehicles they bought and sell a few years later but when you buy ans sell right away making a profit and it's pretty much his main job as far as I can tell I think you should have to register as a dealer and pay sales tax. It's not fair to other dealerships in the area or other tax payers. I think of the operation as almost being an unregistered used car dealership. I live in a state that doesn't title off road vehicles so he is probably able to avoid being detected from that. Is this legal? Should I blow a whistle, the state has anonymous reporting on their website?

Hey everyone I'm new to the Can am world with my 2018 Outlander Max XT 850! I'm from Manitoba Canada and I grew up off roading with trucks. I used to own a Polaris quad but now I work for a John Deere dealership which also sells BRP. Hoping to learn a lot from this group and see what you all do with your Can ams!

Hey everyone I'm new to the Can am world as I recently bought a 2018 Outlander Max XT 850. I have about 70 miles on it now and have started to hear a chirping sound which happens at lower speeds and is really bad when riding on rough terrain. If you burp the throttle slightly from a stop off and on it sounds like the clutches are chirping. (Chirp happens when letting off the throttle) It doesn't do it in reverse. It sounds like a dry bushing noise in the suspension but when you rock the quad side to side aggressively at a stand still the noise isn't there. It also doesn't do it for the first couple minutes of riding after it sits for a while. Doesn't matter if it's in 2wd or 4x4. I have warranty but is this a normal thing? It's quite annoying and my buddies 2017 Outlander XT 650 doesn't do it. He can hear the squeak from my quad when he's riding his quad and he has a can on his.
Think it will go away? I think it's getting worse the more I ride it...

I have a sportsman 570 and I am replacing the frame. I am at the point that I will need to pull the engine and trans next. the manual is stating I need to drain the oil from both the engine and trans, do I actually need to drain them I am? also shod I do the engine or trans first? is there also a trick that would be helpful that is not in the service manual?

Hello, all. Long time lurker. I have a very special Sportsman 500 HO, which I will talk about another time. But it has a tube coming through the bottom of the frame. It leads up to the casing at the water pump. Every once in awhile, I believe usually when the machine first shuts off, this hose leaks oil. Not every time, just when it is most inconvenient, it seems. The oil is not over filled, as this actually causes the level to drop enough I'll need to refill it. I attached a photo of the hose and the housing it sits near. Best I've been able to find is a possible seal leak between the motor and water pump. Unsure if this is indeed the cause or could there be another possibility?

tl;dr Why does this hose oil?
