2008 Sportsman 500 HO EFI.

While finishing up some other projects preparing for winter, my gauge stopped working. First start up, it worked, I let it run for a few minutes. Then upon restarting, only the backlight displays. No other text, nothing. Since that happened, now the speedo won't turn off with the ignition. Just stays lit. I had to pull the fuse to stop it from draining the battery.

Has anybody had this happen before? What could be the issue? How did you fix it?


I'm also on amazon looking for a new gauge (just in case). The one posted specifies 2005, but the part number is the same as mine. Are they interchangeable? Only the face looks different.

One I'm looking at:


Style I have:


Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

So what is the deal with a single brake caliper in the rear? This doesn't seem like the best idea, is it an issue on what. I do realize the rear wheels are essentially locked together but ..... What have you guys decided about this, is it an issue or not?

Anybody know the going rate for a new 2017 outlaw 50? I did the email quote, but they quoted me a price for a 2018 which was $2200. All the local used ones are going for gold, so I was curious what I could pick up a new '17 for. Thanks

I just picked up a Can Am Outlander 400 and the speedo does not work. I was considering just replacing it with one of this trail tech units.


Anyone ever replaced it with one of these units?

Thoughts?

I just picked up a 400 Can Am Outlander and have not owned a quad for over 20 years and brand new to the Can Am world. Hoping to learn some stuff from the pros on this forum!

New guy here.
For the people that had the R. side heat fix done-Are you noticing heat issues popping up somewhere new?
Wires melting Plastics distorting, signs of excessive heat build up where it wasnt before?
Havent had the service done yet, but definitely considering it in spring. Dont mind extra heat while ice fishing

Need some help folks, Trying to adjust the headlights on a 18 HD8. I found the screws the book says to adjust but they do not move..They are shining up in the trees. Thanks ....

Why would you want a 570 when you can have a real ATV with a 1000s or a 850. To start with most of the 450s and 570s have a uncontrollable down hill performance . They are useless in sand, snow or mud.:devil

My machine is 9 months old and under 400 miles on the clock. Last weekend I drove over a downed log in 4 low and when it came down I heard a loud crack/grind noise. At first I thought I blew out my transmission gearcase in back but looked down to see oil dripping out the front. I limped it back to the trailer not that far away and wasn't grinding at all in 2wd, so I'm hoping I got lucky and just the pinion plate.

Any thoughts on if I also damaged the gears and case?

Has anyone had a similar blow out that they were able to fix with just the billet pinion plate?
