I was jealous of my buddy's new official Can Am front storage box, so I wanted one too. But being the cheap SOB that I am... I couldn't bring myself to pay $70 for it. So, here is my solution....

This water proof box from Amazon:

2 of these from Home Depot:

Things to note... It's 28 degrees outside and I don't have a heater, so I will cut the bolts that are sticking up a little shorter with my Dremel tomorrow. Also, I will silicone where the bolts are poking through, but... when I can get into a warm garage. I asked Santa for a garage heater this year. :)

Just ordered:
ITP ss216 12x7 wheels with 25x8-12 and 25x10-12 Kenda Bearclaw HTR tires for my wife’s 2017 570.

ITP Hurricane 14x7 wheels with 26x9-14 and 26x11-14 Kenda Bearclaw HTR tires for my 2017 850.

Will post some pics once I get them in and mounted up. It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Finally had some time today to put on on my ricochet ski plates. I'll echo what everyone else says, easy installation and great fit and coverage. I also ordered a set of Duro Powergrip v2 from Rocky mountain ATV shipped to my door for $349. 26x9-12 fronts 26x11-12 rears. Here's where I'm a little upset. I had them installed and they look awesome, but they seemed small. So after measureing with 7psi all around the fronts are 25" and the rears are about 24.75". Needless to say no where near 26". So now I can try and get a exchange with Rocky mountain, which I doubt they would do or just roll with these. Just pisses me off they can be that much smaller then 26"

Looking at a used 2010 XP touring 850....wonder what it would cost to have the timing gear replaced with the new version before it spins.

I have a 2010 Sportsman 500 HO with grease fittings front left and right as well as left and right in the rear. I located those with no problem and greased them. I am supposed to have a 5th grease fitting on the prop shaft or yolk. I'm starting to think there isn't one. Is that possible. No issues, just being proactive. If someone can enlighten me with pics or a better description, I'd sure appreciate it.
Thanks.

Howdy, lots of reading but first time posting.

I bought a 2004 Sportsman 600 twin with only 50 hrs on it a while ago that was running really rough and with only the choke out. I stripped everything down, ended up buying a new Carb for it. I put everything back together with a new fuel filter, air filter, carb and plugs. it won't even start now!

Checked spark - Good
Checked fuel line - Good
Sprayed in quick start - Runs for a second!

So I read that the fuel pump really works off of back pressure from the air filter, so I tried covering the air intake and it draws gas in. Then I touch the throttle and bang it starts and runs for a second then dies.
I'm guessing that something is causing it to not have enough back pressure to draw the gas in? not 100% sure how the fuel pump works or where its located.

i have a 2016 850 xp with a factory installed polaris winch with electric stop as well. for a lil while the in wouldn't work. then a cpl weeks later the out stopped working as well. it doesn't click at all when trying the in/out button. seems to me no power to winch. so i tried jumper cables from the battery to winch and it arched/welded the jumper cables to the winch and battery.... i find it hard to believe the winch Is bad after minimal use? any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated. also i made sure it wasnt in freespool!!!

Curious what everyone is using to remove a days worth of mud and grime from your machines.
I am looking for the best spray on cleaners/degreasers out there that can be used once pressure washing the bulk of the mud off.
I've used and had some decent results with the typical 409 spray, but feel there has to be something better with new technology, or is there...?
I've seen some of the manufacturers out there now have a "Moto" line, but am I paying more for the same products found in other cleaners, or are you guys finding that these lines are in fact better?
Since I've requested info from the forum, I'll share a secret of mine. When washing white colored items such as the plastics on my Scrambler, I have found that pouring Bleach White in my soapy water works like a charm. I've used BW since I was a kid and have had great results. Since it is a bit harsh, following up with a polish is recommended.
