Can't get my sportsman 700 to shift gears while bike is running. Background, I have replaced both drive and driven clutch assemblies. I have replaced transmission input shaft, (old one bent and aluminum clutch assemblies blew apart while running wide open, sounded like a bomb going off, thank goodness the plastic cove is as tuff as it is). Also installed a new carburetor. I have played with idle RPM anywhere from 800 to 1200. The only way it shifts is when I stop the engine. Any suggestions? Thanks

Hey guys, looking for some idea's as to what could be my issue here. My wife's 2015 Sportsman 570 Sp is burning oil. It is going through about half a quart in 100 miles. I did an oil change and switched to Amsoil just to see how that reacted. Same thing happened. Half quart in 100 miles.

When I did the change there was no metal in the old oil or on the magnet for the drain plug that was visible to me. There has been no dirt ingestion that I can tell either. I keep the air filter clean or changed often. I wiped inside the intake with a paper towel just to check and it came out clean as could be. It does not smoke or smell ever that I have seen, but I hear the synthetic oils wont smell or smoke when being burnt.

I brought the bike home and am planning to tear into it to see what the problem is. I will start tonight by checking to see how the plug looks. I will also try and get a compression test done on it in the next few days.

The quad has 2000 miles on it. I had a valve adjustment done at 1500ish miles. I am not sure if something they did could have caused this or not. What do you guys think? Any ideas for what I should check. Looks like it will be about 600-700 to rebuild the top end. Hate to have to do it, but might be what is on my plate. Thanks in advance for any help.

Took a chance on this one but too much wrong to fix bad crankcase but a lot of other good parts am in southern mn message with needs thanks

Hello, I just picked up a sonic cleaner. Wondering what these bearings are made of so I know which cleaner to use or avoid.

Hello everyone,

First post and currently non can am owner.

My question is: Do I want a max or a regular length outlander xtp?

Read below for background and details.

I got the go ahead from my better half to get us 2 quads so we can start riding together by next April/may 2018. She says she's not into riding 2 up unless I intend to be on the back and that's not in the equation.

Back ground:

She's a novice rider and I use to live on cr250s/raptors and a smaller Polaris 4x4 when I was younger but have spent the last 4 years building vehicles and fully engaged in long range precision shooting. Decided to come back to the atv world so we can do more expedition like riding together since she's not into shooting and wants to be a driver. I'm not building/maintaining 2 off road vehicles!

I've done some research and I'm going to go with a 650 xtp for her and either a 2015 1000 xtp or a 2016 1000/850 xtp for myself.

We are not into the deep deep mud. There will be water crossings. Plenty of steep hills and technical trails interest me the most. I like to think the hills I use to do don't look appealing anymore but I'm not sure I've got all of them out of my system either.

There seems to be way more regular length xtps on the used market compared to the max.

My question is: Do I want a max or a regular length outlander?

Thanks for any and all input,
RR

Basic questions on size and weight. After reading a few threads it sounds safe to increase size by 1" without any mods or rubbing issues. Has anyone experienced a decrease in performance from an increase in size? Or more specifically increase in weight from size or tire style (more plys or radial styles). 5 pounds per tire enough to justify a clutch kit?

After our 6th trip out in our little toy hauler (3rd trip getting totally rained out) my wife and I have decided we want to go up to something with a little more interior space for these trips where it's too cold and rainy to hang out outside under the awning. We bought the trailer brand new in May of 2016, took it on 6 trips between WV & PA. The unit is like new, still has the plastic on the mattress in the front, the only signs of use are the scuffs on the ramps from loading the ATV's. Asking $13k.

Unit has pretty much everything you would need, Fiberglass Shell, full bathroom, two bunks, 1 queen bed, dinette that converts to additional bed, propane furnace, 11,000btu low profile A/C, fridge/freezer, microwave, two burner stove, kitchen sink, exterior shower, Awning, 6 gallon hot water heater, LED lights, AM/FM bluetooth stereo with interior & exterior speakers, rear mounted RVQ BBQ grill, 15" wheels with offroad tires, 4000lbs UVW, 7400lb GVW very easily tow able with any half-ton & good WDH, I pull it with a Ram 1500 Ecodiesel. 7'x9' Fits two full sized 4x4 ATV's. Will post pics of the interior when i can.
