It's time to change the summer fluids out and get rid of any contaminants in the diff before the winter sets in. I did a fluid change yesterday and thought I'd share with everyone. Hope it helps the first timers. It's not hard to do and it can save you some cash by doing it yourself!

Cheers,

Hi all, just picked up an '05 Predator 500 Troy Lee Edition. It's my first polaris, also have an '06 Suzuki LTZ400. The Predator is in great shape, I noticed a little handlebar movement. Is that a worn steering stem bearing? I like the close gear ratio & should be great for the trails. My ltz seems more for wide open racing, but it does ok on the trails. Any other riders out the in the AZ??

Hi getting back into riding looking for people from the Buffalo NY area to recommend a good Can am dealer in the area to deal with. Honest good service and no bullshit hate those kind of dealerships

I am happy to be here I have 3 new Outlanders XMR 1000R being built and would like to know what I should have done before I pick them up, I have been told to replace the clutch system to an above stock STI and put a Maverick belt on, I am putting an Exhaust on them already anything else I should do. First time with Can Am.

Here are some pictures from today.. Love the swamp riding , but hate cleaning. i have some videos too. Will find a way to up load them.

Machine is a 2018 XMR 850 Outlander .....So today I managed to hook a log and flip my quad into a rather deep pond . I managed to shut the machine off before it was upside down ontop of me . I have not tried to fire it up at all since. I pulled the air filter and it was completely packed full of mud . I pulled my dipstick and let all the water drain from there . I'm curious about the Intake that's mounted on the rad relocate. Which I believe is for the CVT system ..... I think I might be safe from having any large chunks because the screen is so fine but obviously some water would have filled up in there as well....... I'm basically looking for any advice on what exactly I should do before I go to start this machine up...... I'm curious how you guys would flush out all the mud from where my airfilter is...... any other tips and tricks would be great ...... I just installed new tires and an exhaust on the machine so going to the dealership is out of the question lol?? thanks in advance for the advice !

Looking to see if anyone is running this kit:

"2) std. bore 80mm Wiseco forged pistons, Hot Rods Crankshaft, complete gasket set, seal kit, crankshaft bearings & counter shaft bearings for Polaris 800 EFI engines 2005-2013"

POLARIS SPORTSMAN, RZR, RANGER 800 EFI ENGINE REBUILD KIT (STD BORE) 2005-2013 | eBay

I bought a sportsman 800 with a blown engine a while back and am getting close to starting to order parts.

I am looking for a good rebuild kit to use, and I will likely replace the oil pump as well with a factory Polaris Unit.

Currently, one of the rods seems pretty frozen on the crank, other is completely free. The ears on the jugs are still intact so i don't think any case damage is evident.

Thank you.

I have a 2010 Sportsman 800 currently that I am running a Ranger 700 engine in (bought the bike with a blown engine and used the good 700 I have temporarily until I rebuild the 800 engine).

I absolutely love the ride of the 800 bike, it does great on the Hatfield and Mccoy trails. We ride up to 110 or so miles in a day, so I am unwilling to lose this comfort. The ride quality is great.

I am curious if I will be disappointed in the ride quality of a new 850 or 1000? I would like to have power steering, but I could buy a kit for my 800. I rode my buddies Can Am Renegade 800R and was not a fan after about 20 minutes (power was great but ride was too harsh).

I enjoy power, and the 700 engine definitely leaves quite a bit to be desired.

Thank you.

Hi, I just picked up a G2 Outlander Max limited. The adjustable rear fox float air shocks seem like a nice feature but I've read a lot of complaints about the system not working properly, so I'm considering upgrading all 4 shocks. My questions are:

1. I understand that I will need the b.u.d.s. system to 'turn off' the acs on the ecm to make the acs error msg go away...correct? (Any dealer should be able to do this?).

2. Should I look for Used outlander xtp shocks or Elka stage 1-2? I'm about 200lbs, I do mostly trail riding (both 1 & 2up). I read somewhere that the xpt shocks are 'nicer' but are set up for a 160lbs rider??? Can anyone confirm?

Thanks.
