awd ground issue

I'm working on a early 2004 sportsman 500, awd no longer working, could someone post the link to a good thread on this i've see to diagnose please. can't find it with search fonction.
i'm only getting about 10 volts when i test wires from pod to hub wires connections under hood, if i put positive in same connections but connect ground directly to battery instead of in plugs i getting 12.6 volts, like battery reading.
Can someone tell me where ground for hubs wires is, ? inside pod,? at battery? , at frame ground ? its a old machine and i dont want to unbolt to many nuts as everything is probably seized . wiring diagram from online manual i have is blurry.
tks, Dan

Gun rack bar

I read somewhere several months ago, about a single bar that goes from one of the rack extender attachment points (just in front of the headlight) across to the other side of the front rack. This would be perfect to mount some gun racks to. I have searched and can not find anything that remotely matches. If I remember correctly, Cabelas had them. Anyone have any idea what I am talking about? I may have dreamt it. --this would be for a 2017 570 sportsman

Possibly looking to upgrade

Attachment 72201

Hi all, I'm looking to possibly upgrade to a can am. I currently have a Polaris sportsman 500 HO. My local Yamaha dealer (in PA) has a 2014 outlander xt 650 with 1,965 miles listed for $6,100. It has an hmf pipe and sti hd3 wheels with 27" mud tires that I'm not sure of the brand or if any other add ons. My main concern is the mileage, is this mileage high? Should I be worried about this mileage on a used machine? I'm sure the dealer went over it and replaced things that needed replacing although it's not a can am dealer so maybe they didn't look too far into it.

My question is should I check this one out or look elsewhere? How is the price considering mileage?

Thanks!

What are your thoughts on this? Should I look for any certain issues with it?

Should I check this one out or look elsewhere?

Thanks!

Emergency Operations

Greeting all, as a new member here I have searched the forum and have not been able to find anything on this as yet. I have a 2015 Sportsman 570, and to be honest was a little chagrined to find no recoil start. Anyway, to my questions, I have purchased a WEEGO charger for the potential of a dead battery while afield. Are there any limitations or issues that arise when operation with a dead battery (i.e. system that will not function of the stator/alternator)? Also has anyone determined an alternate method of starting these machines? Thanks,

Noobie

New to the site and new to Can Am. Just picked up a used 2017 650 XMR with 145 miles. Any tips for me? Mainly trail riding and small mud holes. Im definately amazed at the power of the 650.
