Between the stuff I carry in my Wes Trunk and being a bigger guy my 2014 1000XT tends to sit a little lower in the back. I have the socks as stiff as they go but was looking to see what other people have done to help with the issue. besides all new shocks and the obvious option of losing weight (haha).

thanks in advance.

OLd Newt here as in my title i am a bit old but use my syd-by often, around my farm for fencing, snow plowing etc we also go on some extreme trips a bit north going through trails , streams, and some bad ass muskegg i have a 2013 can-am commander ltd, with a clutch kit, small lift, snorkeled, rad re-locate, gorrilla mud tires, steel doors.

Hello, I'm wondering if anyone knows what glacier plow system this is. I'm thinkingit's a G1. I bought a 2004 sportsman 700 with this plow but no mounting plate came with it and the plate is now discontinued. Any ideas what plow system this is and where I'd find a mounting plate. Thanks

I've been searching the internet trying to find a good source on the 2002 Polaris Sportsman 6x6. In particular, I'd like to find out what motors were offered during this time and if there were any problematic things about them to look out for. I found one near me for a good price and will be looking at it in the next day or so. I really don't know much about these though. The seller claims its an '02 and said the motor is a 660cc motor. From the pictures I can tell its an auto, but not much more other than being in good shape. All stickers have been removed.

Can anyone give me pointers on how to confirm the motor size visually and advise any areas I need to look at closely that these models were known to have issues in?

If not, can someone point me at least to a spec sheet for these years models so I can get a better idea if something bigger than the 500 was offered that year and package?

I recently purchased a full exhaust from HMF and was wondering has anyone else put one on a sportsman highlifter 1000 model and is a fuel optimizer absolutely needed? The optimizers I find online are tuned for the sportsman 1000 but doesn't say anything about the highlifter models. Could the tune be different for the HL model? The tires are much bigger etc...
The reason I want to put it on is because mine overheats due to the exhaust heat so I'm going to thuroughly heat wrap the new exhaust to keep in the heat and push it out better. Optimizer or no?

Ok so 1 I'm new to the forum. So if I missed this anywhere I apologise.
So I just picked up a 04 sportsman 400. I have a issue where the awd works in hi and low and not reverse. The override button doesn't seem to work and neither does the Speedo. The Speedo lights up a and the display shows. But I can't change any of the displays like I'm saposed to with the override button. I have torn down the switch and everything seems to be ok there (Some wear and dirt but seems to make proper connections)

I trimmed my fenders this weekend and put my over fenders back on. I figured now that the bike is a little more used and abused I wouldn't cry chopping up my painted fenders. I just wanted to share in case anyone ever wants to see it for themselves. I just moved and had enough tools unpacked to get this done before moose hunting.

I used a Milwaukee Hacksawzall with a metal blade and then ran a sharp knife along the edges. I taped it with painters tape to have a edge to follow when trimming the fenders. I also used metal shears to notch out the over fenders now that they sit closer to the seam for the fender and footwell. Not perfect by any means but I got my added clearance for bigger tires next year. The screws down the vertical edge sit too far in for my liking but that's ok. I have a pic of one side that was factory and the other pics are of the aftermath.
