I’ve seen several posts on the fact that the Visco-Lok is a sealed unit and cannot be serviced, however I just purchased the Torq Locker and they have a youtube video and it talks about disabling the Visco-Lok on 2015.5 and later models. It shows that the Visco-Lok is bolted on the ring gear and shows how it can be dismantled. My 6x6 obviously is not a 2015.5 because I don’t have that option (mine is all one unit). The video shows the inside of the Visco-Lok for those who are curious, but they explain that the unit is not serviceable, and once opened cannot be reused. Anyway thought some of you would like to see it.
picking up a 2013 800r max xt tomarrow
as stated above i found this unit after a couple of months looking, are the 2013 models decent? im coming from years of honda atvs ..it has 1000 miles and 90 hours and appears to be in great condition..its from a one owner private seller, it has front and rear light bars and a nice rear storage trunk, is there anything in particular i need to check over on this machine? are there any recalls or computer flash upgrades that i need to be concerned about ? is 7999.00 a decent price? If i buy it i will be looking for a plow set up also in the 400 to 450 price range what do you all use and like or dislike about them? thanks for the replies
engine filled with gas
I got a 2001 sportsman 500 some one left the choke on for three days and the engine filled with gas. i didnt think that was possible so my question is did the choke cause this or do i need to clean the carb?
New Minnesota owner
Hello all. Long time rider here. Coming from Polaris, Yamaha, and a Honda trx 250r. Finally decided to spend the money and buy my dream mud monster. I picked up a 2017 Renegade 1000 XMR last week. Looking forward to learning as much as possible from you guys. Ride on!
Front end Noise
Afternoon fellow ATVers. Leland here. As some of you might know I now live in Mexico and we use our 2017 Outland 1000 Max for a street machine. ATVs are street legal here. Today my wife and I took it on a 15 to 25 km run. Temps here have been about 95 or so degrees. Stop and go traffic a bit and a good stretch of 65km/h. We noticed sort of a howling sound from the from end. No 4 wheel drive activated. The machine has about 350 km on it now and 23 engine hours. No leaks when parked. No engine over heat and no warnings on the digital display.
Any thought what it might be? and should it be something that I should worry about or is this normal. This is our first ATV so I'm never sure what to expect.
Thanks for any advice.

Best aftermarket tie rods
Who makes the toughest aftermarket tie rods? Had a bit of a tough day on my 17 XMR 850 today and managed to bust two of them and an axle. Oooops.
Looking to replace them with the best to keep it from happening again.

Street Legal is Spreading in Colorado
I learned another southern Colorado county and community have "legalized" ATV and UTV riding on public roads and community streets. This will help local businesses as the area is close to Silverton, which is a big ATV town here in Colorado. Here is the county ordinance that made it legal, and here is the town posting stating it is legal.
Consider Hinsdale County and Lake City for your next Can Am ATV adventure vacation.
I hope more counties in Colorado see the light. The scenic mountain counties have street legal dirt bikes, Jeeps, SUVs driving low maintenance roads all the time. Why not the ATVs and UTVs too? The rural eastern Colorado counties could have a similar ordinance and legalize all the ranchers who use their machines in their operations. I doubt seriously that the world will come to an end because another Colorado county sees benefits in attracting ATV riders to their local roads and trails.

Ops, the County Ordinance file is too big to upload. You can find it in Hinsdale County Ordinances Records

Less Dust Brake Pads ??
Any advise please?
I get heavy red dust on my Alum wheels on '14 sportsman 550. I ride on the beach and the red brake dust is extreme.
Are there any replacement brake pads you think that won't have this red dust?? I ride easy with no extreme riding. But water from rivers and salt/sand on the beach is daily.
Thanks for any ideas
