After searching/reading a number of posts on this forum, I thought that I had identified the problem, and was close to fixing it......

Original issues: AWD not working, speedo needle jumping/erratic, and dies/stalls when shifted into reverse if the override button wasn't pressed.

Other posts pointed me towards the Hall Sensor, so I disconnected it and voila- AWD began functioning and it no longer died when shifted into reverse, and of course the speedo didn't work at all. I should also mention that the speedo backlight was intermittent and would sometimes flicker, which wasn't a big concern. I ordered a new Hall sensor and installed it last night. After installation, the AWD no longer works, and when the speedo flickers (seems to correspond with steering turns) it will kill the machine regardless of moving forward or backwards. With the speedo plugged in, if it is lit up, the machine will not start/run. Even after unhooking the new Hall sensor, I once again have no AWD (which I'm now unsure why I had AWD after unhooking the old Hall Sensor). Keeping the speedo unplugged allows me to drive the machine, but I need AWD (I'm a land surveyor and get in a lot of rough places).

Voltages on the 6 pin speedo wire (key on, not running):
A - (red/white stripe) 11.86v
B - (brown) .515v
C - (black) 11.61v
D - (yellow/red stripe) .818v
E - (brown/white stripe) 11.91v
F - (grey/orange stripe).515v

Is there an explanation for what I'm seeing, or did the speedo just decide to fully die?

(Seems unlikely given the voltage readings, but) Are the brown & brown/white stripe wires coming to the speedo, the same ones mentioned in the connecting/grounding videos/posts for an AWD fix, located under the front cover/near the front rack (I haven't been in there recently, as I have to remove my storage to access the rack bolts)?

What other options do I have to get my AWD working?

Thanks!

Hey guys I have a almost new 450L. Last weekend we took it out and was cleaning the mud off of it by driving though some shallow water when the belt started slipping. I found that the breather hose for the belt was disconnected causing water to get inside the belt case. No problem I drained the water let the belt dry out a bit then was on my way again. But later on realized in 4x4 my front wheels were not spinning. I tried to engage and disengage the 4x4 switch with no luck. The light is on and you can here the actuator working but no power to the front tires. Has anyone else had this issue? Thanks

I bent the right tie rod last weekend. We used a ratchet strap to straighten it a bit and rode it the rest of the weekend. After some research on here I was thinking of buying American Star Heavy Duty 4130 Chromoly Racing Tie Rods and some new OEM ends. I would use the left tie rod and the ends on the damaged one for spares if the ends aren't too damaged. Does the OEM Tie-Rod Ass'y PN#703500783 come with the ends or are they separate? Are their better ends that may be cheaper?

I added some pics. If you wouldn't mind, can you look at them and see if I damaged anything else? Any advice on this issue would be appreciated. I am not a great mechanic but with the manual and some tips form the forums, I can usually manage most projects.

Thanks,

So yesterday I tore my front end down and put new bushings in the lower a arms, new breaks all the way around, greased all fittings, new HD Front Axles, new wheel bearing (old ones where seriously shot) and put it all back together and test drove it for a few minutes and it ran 100x better and turned better than ever with new bearings. But when I turned the bike of I had it in low gear and 4wd on, usually doesn't effect it. I went to turn it back on and it has no power what so ever! Battery is full and perfect "my winch and sound bar still work fine but they're straight wired to my battery" all fuses under the front storage are good, didn't loosen any wiring or anything it just has no power at all.. anyone know what the problem could be?? Thanks!!

Does anyone know of a replacement part for the upper front shock bushings on a 16 can am 570 with brp shocks?? Can't seem to find one and I don't think the shocks are in need of change with 300 miles on it

I have a 2016 Sportsman XP 850, the stock springs are a tad soft and the front ones settle pretty bad when I put my plow on. I ride pretty hard and want something a little stiffer, can't really afford to put new shocks on it so I am looking at springs. Having a hard time getting Highlifter springs here in Canada but can get them out of the states but with the exchange they are a bit pricy. I can get EPI here. Are the EPI springs as good as Highlifters?

Thanks

I was wanting to add a good amount of torq to my 330. What is the largest sprocket I can get that already fits the hub and where can I get it from?
