About my new to me Can-Am.

Hey Y'all, I'm new to the Polaris ATV Forums. I've got a 2010 Sportsman 500 HO that is sputtering, spitting, and cutting out on hills. Any suggestions for fixes? I've crated this machine and sent it overseas to where I work/live. It ran beautifully before I had to drain and crate it. When I got it over here a year later the needle seat had dried out and allowed fuel to back up into the air box and then get sucked into the crank case. I've put a carb kit in it and that problem is fixed, along with an oil change and new filter. After that it got to where it'd only run for about 5 min or so before dying. Then I'd have to choke it and crank hard on the starter to get it to fire up again. I've replaced the fuel pump (as it was full of junk inside). Now it starts, idles, and runs great until I open up the throttle to get up some hills, then it sputters and cuts out. It is like it's starving for fuel. I can re-start it right away. I've removed the in-line fuel filter between the tank and carb and this helps, but it is a new filter so I know it isn't full of trash. Is there a filter in the tank itself? Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Hey guys I got a 2007 outlander 800 thats giving me some issues. It won't start it just does a click and you can hear the fuel pump. If you jump the starter solenoid it turns the starter over. Well I figured ok solenoid is probably bad. My buddies wheeler is literally having the same exact issue he did everything I did jumped his solenoid and it would turn over. Bought a new solenoid and it still does the same way thing. So now I'm pondering if I should try the solenoid or not. Someone must have had this issue before. :th_smiliefrustrated

I have a 2013 Outlander 650 Max XT that has about 500 miles on it now. While going through some routine maintenance I wanted to ask whether there is anything else I should do while I am at it.

So far I have done the following:

- changed out the engine & transmission oil
- replaced CVT belt
- Inspected and cleaned engine air filter and foam filter.
- Greased all the zirk fittings
- replaced tie rod ends
- checked brake fluid level

In addition I am considering valve adjustment. Is there anything else I should take care of while doing my routine maintenance?

Also now I am getting "Maintenance Required" message during start up. Is there a way to get rid of the message other than a trip to the dealer?

Regards,

My 2016 Outlander 1000R LTD has an air suspension problem. Sometimes normal, but will begin to pump up and when is right up to the top blows off and dumps all of its air only to pump up again and again...
Has any one else had a problem like this and solved it.
I trail ride in Montana, am 70 years young and have been riding all my life. I'm a hack bike mechanic and worked on and taught bike mechanics and can likely do my own work if i can get a clue to the suspension behavior.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

I have a problem since installing the doebeck controller over a yr ago and my problem is when descending down a hill in high or low range at light throttle it wants to cut out too soon so I'm constantly on and off the gas and it's annoying I can't maintain a light throttle without it doimg this and never had this issue before the programmer and my settings green yellow and red are 6.5 and the other three zones are 4.5 6.5 4.5 just like doebeck recommends and does anyone have and solution or what modes I should adjust?

Does anyone know where I could get the owners manual for a 2013 Commander Limited. Thanks in advance. Ron
