Hello everyone,

Couple weeks ago I purchased a 2nd hand 2013 Outlander Max 800R XTP and it is my first ATV. Last week I went to climb a sand hill with a couple of friends and they told me to use Low range to climb it slowly. So I did it and at all times it was below 6000 RPM. Suddenly, while I was climbing it sound like something just got broken and stop and turn off. I turned it on again and put R and it did but then it didn´t accept again neither L or H. We manage to put it in neutral ( never turn it on again ) again and when we were back at normal terrain ( horizontal ) I noticed that it was loosing some oil. ( in my parking place before this it never loose any oil )

I just came back from the dealer and they are telling me that I was never supposed to do that ( put L Range to climb a sand hill ) and that is reason why the gear box got a fissure.
Appreciate all your comments regarding this.

Thank you in advance!
Sam

Hello everyone!

My name is Sam and I am joining this team from Peru. I am very excited to be part of such nice community with great vibes and useful tips. I purchase an Outlander 800 and hopefully will be posting some news in near future.

Thank you in advance for all your kind comments to some questions a new guy like me may ask.
Have a great ride!

Just picked up a 2017 Sportsman 850 Highlifter Edition. I'll be posting some pics & videos from my Youtube channel.

manual says foot rest. where is the intake on a stock/no snorket kit outlander?

I just cleaned out the carb and it now starts right up as soon as you touch the electric start button...problem i have having is that when you hit the gas hard to take off, it sort of bogs down but not so much if you hit the gas at only about 1/4 throttle almost as if the choke is still on. I took it down the street and it opened up but then spit out the exhaust and was again riding like the choke was still on. Any suggestions? Do you think the electric choke is bad? I don't know how to tell.

OK here's my mystery.

Was out yesterday checking my trail cams. About halfway through my trip I started hearing a faint whine. Shortly afterwards the whine got louder. So loud I could barely hear the engine. I stopped the machine and the sound was the same in all gears. Got louder with throttle input, in park or in gear. Sounded like it's coming from belt area. I parked it and walked about 15 minutes to my cameras they started it and sound was gone.

I'm going to change the belt and transmission fluid before I ride again. There's about 1000 miles on the oem belt.

Think it's more serious than just a belt? I'm confused about why the sound would diminish after sitting a few minutes.

I have a 2004 quest 660 max. Will 26x9x12 and 26x11x12 tires fit with stock rims and no spacers or mods??
