New user here to spread the word!

Hello Can-Am forum!

I joined up to help the guys at BeadBuster spread the word about tire changing methods.

I’m a network engineer who uses mechanical work as an escape from my 8-5 keyboard based job. I have been into offroad stuff my whole life, starting on 2 wheels and now mostly on 4. Most recently I have been buying/fixing junked and blown up ATV’s. That involves some tire work on almost every project, and that’s where the BeadBuster product comes in.

I look forward to chatting with the community about how we can make your life easier if you decide to change your own tires!

Rugged Beach Buggy: Modded Mondays



That's not German engineering!

That’s no VW bug, that’s another insane custom Polaris RZR from the minds at Rugged Radios. From the metal flake paint to the custom PRP seats, this RZR screams beach buggy and in our opinion, it’s one of the coolest custom builds we’ve seen from Rugged Radios to date. Check out this cool walk around video from the gang at Side by Side Stuff.

2002 Sportsman 400 key switch wiring

So I'm having issues getting power from my key switch. I've got 12 volts going into it, but only 2 going to my solenoid. I replaced the switch last night and everything seemed to work fine, then suddenly back to nothing. I'm not sure if something is shorting out and frying the switches or if I have a loose wire in the plug going to the switch. Anyone know of where I can find a replacement wire mold so I can solder it in, or has anyone replaced the keyswitch with a cheap 2 way toggle and push button to the solenoid? Any help is appreciated
