when to turn on AWD

I have a 2000 expedition 425. There is the AWD switch on the right handle bar. Do i have to come to a complete stop before i turn this on?

Buying just the foam for an air filter

I had a mouse get into my air filter and shred the foam in my 2017 Outlander 650 Max XT. The rest of the filter seems alright. Is there somewhere I can buy just the foam for a 707800371 filter. Wouldn't mind saving a few bucks if I could get the foam for $10 vs the entire filter for $50. Thanks in advance.

07 800 max cutting out

my 07 800 max cuts out sometime when I hammer it . It gets going then the throttle cut out for a second or two and the lights flicker for a bit . It had died once after starting and the speedo was dim. I have only run non ethanol fuel its got to be electrical .

service manual

Hello i recently got a 2000 expedition 425 in very rough shape. The guy i got it from told me it was a 2002 so i purchased a 2002 expedition 425 manual. come to find out after i checked the vin it is a 2000. I am giving it a complete tune up with all new fluids and i bought everything the 02 manual said i would need. My question is now is anything completely different between the 2 years and also what about the amounts of fluid will they be the same atleast? The 02 manual says 5oz for front diff will the 2000 take 5oz as well? I have all the fluids and want to start but the new manual wont be here for a week.

Would there be a way to add a temp gauge to a 450?

Just wondering... would there be a practical way to add a temp gauge to a 450 engine? I read it's fairly easy to do on the V-twins, because the other cylinder has a dummy plug where the temp gauge goes on the opposite cylinder. What about us 1 cylinder guys? Out of luck? I also have a plan for a volt meter, but that's easy.

Suspension and ground clearance

So I have a 2009 800 Renegade with Elka Stage 5 shocks. 26" MSA MOTO MTC tires. I recently did a spring change on the shocks and reinstalled them. I previously had about 10" of ground clearance. I thought since I had the work done and had to adjust them I would go for the advertised ground clearance. I think it is 12". Just under 11" and I was not able to go any farther on the rear. It seems that I ran out of travel on the rear track arms or the shocks. Not sure which one for sure. Does anybody have any pointer or info. I want as much ground clearance as I can get yet still get proper performance out of my suspension. I don't think it is good for it to be adjusted all the way out. Maybe I am wrong though. Any advice would be great.
Thanks Everyone.

Under $20.00. Front storage trunk for my Outlander.

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. :)
