What kind of helmet for UTVs?

I am a newbie ATV/UTV rider. I thought it was tough deciding on a UTV...will buy a Maverick Trail DPS 1000. I will use this UTV for hunting and general trail riding...not much racing? I have been all over the "what's the best helmet?" sites but most sites are talking about motorcycle helmets and very few talk about ATV/UTVs. I've looked at the different styles, advantages etc but need help with what UTVers use. Thank you for your thoughtful input!

OEM Clutch Lock Up Mod (Details Inside)

Hey Everyone,

So this winter I sold basically all the aftermarket parts on my XMR 800 to a fellow rider except for my Power Commander V and my Straightline Exhaust. The plan was to move to a new Can-Am but I've pushed that off till later this year. So that means I sold my CVTech clutch and secondary springs as well.

So I decided I would go the budget route and see just how much performance I can squeeze from the factory clutches.

Issue #1 is the non locked sheaves on the Renegade/Outlander Primary Clutch. Can-Am Turbo Maverick clutches are still very expensive on e-bay but come with the locked sheaves from the factory. So instead I'm going to send my stock Outlander clutch to UATV-tech.com to have the modification done by them. For $225(US) it turns my Outlander clutch into the Turbo Maverick clutch.

Issue #2 is that the 800 XMR comes with the same identical clutch set-up to the standard Outlander. Same springs, weights, and helix. The only difference is the 800 XMR receives the 650 Transmission. So because I wanted to keep this budget I looked for BRP weights I could use to get the shiftout to where I need it. So I will be going with the Renegade 800 clutch weights which have a better profile and a lighter weight. Right now my shift out is 6600-6700rpm.

Issue #3 is that because of the tall 30" tires the XMR comes with the clutch is often far too slow on back shifting. I'm going to correct this by using a 650 Helix and keeping the stock 800 XMR Spring. This should significantly improve back shifting and keep the revs up higher.

The idea of these modifications was to improve the clutching without buying a new primary. If someone sourced the weights and helix used this mod could be done for significantly less then a new primary.

I'll update everyone with a video on the channel once I've received the clutch and parts.

Polaris 2004 sportsman 600

Hey guys, new here. One of my buddies gave this one to me a few days ago. Finally got it in the garage and after fiddling with it I’ve found there is no spark. The starter solenoid sounds good, and the starter itself makes a winding noise.
I have replaced the spark plugs too, but with no success. I’ve checked the 20A breakers and they’re all good. Any tips to this? Thanks guys
