850 clutch suprise!

Hi fellas,
I just thought I would share my story. Today I pulled the primary outer half off to service the one-way assembly and clean things up. Everything looked OK but, needing some Isoflex grease. I pulled the 2 bearings out (sealed both sides), wiped them off and solvent cleaned the remainder of the parts. After reassembling the one-way I started cleaning and scuffing the sheaves with some Scotch Brite and then I saw a flat spot on a roller. The unhappiness started then. I just brought the bike home from the dealer after getting the 2,000 mile valve clearance check-yesterday (80 mile round trip). Luckily they had rollers in stock. Then the service man told me it would be under warrantee-if they replaced the rollers but, needed the whole machine. Well I didn't want to lose the bike for the whole holiday weekend so I went to the dealer and bought the rollers. When I pulled in the sales manager greeted me in the parking lot so I related my story to him and he said he would get my roller purchase refunded under warrantee ! I still had to replace all 6 rollers and it took some improvisation but, good triumphed over evil and I got her done!

The moral of this story is: the clutch rollers can develop flat spots in as little as 2150 miles. I purchased this machine in March and have around 80 hours on it. Now to go out and wear out the new rollers!

New headlights…. Xenon… Not brighter?

Hey everyone! So I stopped at my local dealer today and picked up two sets of the Xenon blue colored 50w headlights. They were on sale for $32 each. I threw them on my quad and they are a whiter light which I like but they seem to be not a bright as stock... Has anyone else noticed this? Do they need a bit to warm up?? How do I get more out of these headlights!!??

Correct Odometer reading???

Hey Fella's...quick question. If you have seen the "800 for $800" build thread, you know i'm rebuilding a 2005 Sportsman 800. The owner before me must have flipped the thing because the Speedometer was busted really bad. He gave me a good used Speedometer from another quad that works great. Question is...when i look at total mileage am i seeing the mileage of the Quad i own or the mileage of the previous quad? Basically, does the current speedo record accumulated miles or does the pcm keep the record?

Fuel Leaking from tube on bottom of carb

I have a 2007 Outlander 400 The other day I parked on a slope facing downhill and noticed fuel dripping from a little 1/8" tube connected to the bottom of the carburetor. Anybody have an idea what might cause this and also the hose appears to have a metal tube on the end but I cannot find where it should be connected to? Also anyone know where I might find a shop manual that will show it? I went to the dealer and looking at the screen I could not tell where it goes. Thanks in advance for any help on this. I do not want to start a fire.

Hey!

Hey! I just purchased a 2017 XMR 850, and so far it great! coming from a 07 Sportsman 450, I decided to jump ship after the sportsman finally crapped out on me and I had enough of dumping money into it.

2016 maverick Rear Driveshaft Removal

Hey y'all. I'm having a hard time getting my rear drive shaft out on my mav 16 xmr. I need to replace the seal on the shaft/diff bc it's leaking. I've done it before and don't recall this much issue.
I've removed both bolts on both ends of the driveshaft

I've got the 3 bolts on the rear diff off.
Tires off
Rear diff is pulled back all the way. What am I missing?
It's so close to coming out but I'm just short on space by a hair and I've tried muscling it.
Any tips on getting this thing off? Tilt the rear diff up? Tilt it down? It seems I had the most space when I tipped the side where th drive shaft connects upward...
I'm also trying to remove the back side before the front.... sound right? Wrong?
Thanks in advance!

ATV Guru and Glacier Pro Plow

I am looking at purchasing a front brush guard for my 2017 850SP touring. I contacted John at ATV Guru and he said the snow plow should hook up. Has anyone use the Glacier pro with the Glacier Pro? I am trying to figure out if I should get the short brush guard or if there is room around the angled reinforcements to get the plow on the front pins without having to modify the brush guard. I am also thinking about putting the 12" Auxbeam on the light bar. Any issues with blocking the radiator? The 850 already gets warm fast.

think that is enough. Thanks in advance for the help.

2009 sportsman 850 xp vs 2011 sportsman 550xp eps

Looking at buying a used fourwheeler. I had an 11 850 sportsman and it was a great machine. Made the mistake of selling but now I'm looking at getting into a little cheaper one to run around on. The two I'm looking at right now is a 2011 550 xp with EPS. 1700 miles. The other is an 09 850 xp no eps. I think if I get the 550 I'm going to be disappointed on power after owning the 850 even though the 550 would do everything i would need it to. The other fourhweeler being an 850 i am leaning towards right now but I had heard rumors about 09 possibly being a trouble year. Any thoughts or recommendations would be appreciated. I haven't been able to look at either in person but both appear to be in pretty good shape with little price difference between the 2

Backcountry Riding in Madawaska Valley, Ontario



I recently went on an awesome ATV adventure on the backcountry trails of the Madawaska Valley in Ontario, Canada.

I love ATVing in Ontario, Canada – the trails here are quiet, the volunteers are passionate and take trail maintenance seriously, and you can visit parts of the country that would otherwise be completely inaccessible.

I spend most of my time in Northern Ontario – I truly believe it is one of the most special destinations in the world. I’ve been all over the world, and although every country, continent, and city has something special about it, Northern Ontario is truly different. The difference is access to remote spaces.

While you could take the Road of Bones through Madigan in Russia, you’d be doing it at a snail’s pace and would struggle the whole way along. While in Northern Ontario, you can drive hundreds of miles into the wilderness on paved roads with electricity and cell service, and then dive into the bush on backroads and be out in time for dinner at a cozy local diner (or a Tim Horton’s).
