2004 sportsman 500
does this look like a aftermarket axle, ??
i've seen vids where guys pull hard a couple times on the axle and it comes right out at tranny.
I was changing the outer cv boot and knocking on appropriate spot and it was not working so i said ill see if i can take whole axle out and it will be easier take outer joint apart and to regrease both boots and reclamp.
Can i just reinstall ballbearings in cage and it will fit back in axle housing ?
I dont want to pry between tranny and axle end.

Hey so I found a guy selling the display unit off of a brp sled and wondered if it would work on a gen 2 outlander. Any ideas? Pics show the serial number

Due to old age and arthritis I find it hard to get down and connect a battery charger to my 2015 Sportsman ETX EFI. When I take the seat off there is a red boot that looks like a sparkplug boot just under the seat at the left front. I thought perhaps it was a connection I could connect my charger to that would ease charging the thing. When I pulled the cap off it slid off leaving a grey L-shaped connector and the wire stayed in the boot. What does this go to? I have pressed the boot back on but can't seem to get it seated all the way. The engine starts and runs fine but I need to know what this is and did I damage anything?
I dropped a picture below.
Thanks for any info!

After talking to folks about atv or utv I'm considering just going straight to a utv.......now I have to decide if I want 500/570/700/800? Anyone have suggestions good or bad on models? I've found a used 2010 800 XP for around $6500 with 4500 miles on it....is that a decent model and price....issues with such?


Here's the listing. https://stlouis.craigslist.org/snd/d...373333245.html

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?
