My maverick is almost what id call jumpy when I go to take off, it jerks and bucks when I take off but is fine once I'm up to 20 mph or so. It also will smoke my belts when I'm in a mud hole or going up a steep grade from take off. I know it has something to do with my clutches, bought a new belt last month and its doing the same thing. What do I need to buy to fix this thing? Going on a big trip in the next few weeks and could really use some help! Thanks!

Anyone have experience running tire bonnets with side loaded machines?
I like the idea of tire bonnets to hold the machines down, just wondering how the suspension likes this in side load configurations.
I am one of them people that like to make sure things are secure. Right now I use 4 ratchet straps, one on each corner.
I am planing on modifying the trailer with dedicated tie down locations, just need to decide how I want to tie it down.

Hello my friends from all over the world...im begining to loose my mind because i dont know what to do...i have 2016 stock limited edition outlander 1000R, the only thing changed is exhaust slipon for yoshi.

My shiftout at Low is around 7200 7250...i also hit rev limiter...

My shiftout on High is waaay to low! Its around 6800 when it should be around 7300-7500 for best peak performance...

I can feel the lack of power and ive burned 1 belt already because of that...it just doesnt get the revs high enough to pull strong...


Im turning to all you atv users...to help me and others out...

Atv was bought new in January...it has 2500 miles trail riden only...

Thank you all for helping me solve this problem...

gday there.
I recently picked up a new 2016 outlander xt 850.
when I first rolled it off the trailer and took it for a squirt, it was responsive and fast reaching 100km/h easily.
it sat in my shed for a few weeks until I could next take it out, when I did (second ride) it seemed like it was running very rich, i struggled to get 75km/h out of it and its throttle response was sluggish compared to its first ride. I had the black performance key in and was very un impressed with its performance.


any tips on what might be happening here?
the thing has only 45km on it and about 5 engine hours, waaaaaay to early for me to be searching for issues on it I would have thought.


any help would be greatly appreciated
