It's time for me to bite the bullet and buy a winch for my 16' Outlander L 570 XMR. I'm thinking of going with a Viper elite winch. Does anyone have any feedback? They seem to be a well built unit. My Can-Am manual states my machine is "pre-wired for a winch" but what does that mean? Is installing a winch pretty straight forward on these?

Hey guys I have a 2013 XMR outlander 1000. The ACS system operates fine, shocks go up and down as needed and compressor runs as it should. One thing I cannot wrap my head around is why my front shocks bleed down. Both front shocks always bleed down over an hour or so and the compressor does not cycle to fill them back up. The right front shock, after a little ride, will bottom right out like the setting is on 1 and the left is very soft as well but does not bottom out. Am I looking at a leak of some sort or is it the pressure transducer? Trying to get more knowledge of this system before I start wasting money on parts. I also have a friend with the BUDS computer system, would that be any help to me? And there are no codes being thrown at this time for anything.

I am saving up to purchase a Defender next fall and I was super happy to see Can-Am finally came out with a front locker (Smart-Lok). But my happiness went away when I saw it only came in the Defender XMR model. I am planning on buying a XP model for around the farm so I guess a Halo Locker is in my future unless next year they put the Smart-Lok in all the Defender models.

I bought a 2017 450 HO last month and wondered what octane gas you guys are using. I also had somebody tell me that they add a little additive to every tank to take care of any moisture in the fuel. Not sure if this is necessary or not. My son rides and races dirt bikes but I haven't had an ATV in about 20+ years. I appreciate any feedback. Thanks.

Hello there. So my first issue started here: Melted voltage regulator plug/wires.

I went through and found the weather pack connectors to repair my main harness. Installed that, and I thought I had swapped a wire or 2 when doing so. I did a continuity test from the stator plug to the harness plug I fixed, all check out, so I know it's not something I did.

Now I have a new issue. I purchased a new Mosfet Voltage Regulator Rectifier from RMStator. It is as described Plug and Play, everything hooks up.

However, when I start the machine, the idle RPM's are fine, but after a few seconds the RPM's drop. Normally around 1170 but drops anywhere between 600-900, but there is no physical noise change in RPM's. If I give it throttle they drop more.

Is it possible that it was wired wrong from the factory? I don't want to run it too long to try and trouble shoot as I don't want to fry anything.

I swapped out the OEM regulator I have as a backup into it's spot and RPM's are perfect, changes with throttle doesn't drop at all.

Anybody have any ideas? Suggestions? Don't really want to send it back if I can just swap a wire in the plug and be good to go.

Thank You.

Last good run of the season. Topped up the oil in my 2013 Sportsman X2 550. After a couple hours of mud, blood and beers she starts blowing blue smoke. Not a constant blow but off and on. Tried to make it back but checked the oil after a while and ....... empty. Burned right through it all. Need some feedback guys. Give some ideas at what I should be looking for. Thx.

Never having installed a new clutch, the job seemed fairly simple. I got as far as putting the new primary on, but when i went to tighten the bolt, it bottoms out before it fully tightens - i have about an 1/8" gap between the bottom of the bolt head flat and the washers which sit flush against the clutch.

A buddy says to just add a couple of washers, and that very well may be the fix, but I just want to know I'm not messing something else up before doing anything like that. Has anyone else had an issue with the stock primary bolt being too long for an aftermarket clutch?

Thanks in advance......
