Hi,


I've been reading various posts now for a while but overall I'm new to the forum. I've seen a few post that have sort of touched on this subject but nothing really definitive. I'm looking for a 2 up atv to ride with my kids. I want something that's comfortable and reliable. When I research online it's mostly just brand "bashing" with no real answers or rider experiences. Can anyone provide input on riding the Can Am vs Polaris vs Arctic Cat? What size would you recommend?


Thanks

Since I caught a rash of poo for saying the quad handled better without the swaybar and I was shown that pro gncc teams run sway bars.....I decided to make a quick disconnect so I could try the quad both ways in all the varied terrain I ride. I'm a couple hours from huge mud parks, extremely technical rocky stuff in WV, Sandy/dune areas and then where I live is rolling terrain with rocky clay soil.

On to the work, Ill attach all the pictures in the post below. The idea belonged to SquireCSA of this board first, I was just lucky enough to stumble across his post mixed in with some suspension bushing post. I wanted to make this post so it would be easy to search and for other people to find.

1.Remove left side bolt where it attaches to the cross over bar and replace it with a safety pin (the kind used for towing). Do the left side and not the right side so it does not smash in to the muffler when you get the suspension at full compression. I just took my bolt to the hardware store and found one the same OD as the bolt I removed.

2. Thread a large Zip tie (Or Paracord or stainless wire) through the hole in the frame and make it into a loop. When you unhook the sway bar just attach the end of the L bracket to the zip tie in your frame. Give it enough slack for full droop and you will be good to go.

I have ridden it hard with this setup and no issues so far. The only place I find the sway bar beneficial is in the sandy dune areas, everywhere else I still like the sway bar disconnected. I plan on racing the quad again this Fall and will do so with the sway bar attached to see if I like it any better.

Pics BELOW! Any questions please ask, hopefully some people will find this thread useful.

Ok Guys, I need help. I ordered a Can Am primary clutch removal tool from E-Bay. It came in and the part number is PCP-16, I removed the 13 bolts from the cv cover and removed the clutch bolt from the clutch and the puller threads doesn't fit where the bolt came out of. I called EPI to verify the part # and they say it is the correct puller for my machine and a bunch other Can Am's. The tech I talked too said I have to remove the outer part of the clutch, then use the puller on the inside to pull the rest of the primary off, to replace the belt. Is this correct.

Thx

21 hrs, 260 kms. Started having electrical issues

it is in polaris shop now for electrical issue with wire harness that comes up to pod. When i turn left engine dies or if you move harness with your finger it quits. Plastic cover looks like its breaking the wires through the loom. Braided hose for brakes runs right beside harness.

Not sure if they will replace harness or just repair the broken wires. Will call today.

Having them do the first 25 hr service as well

just mad it by 2 days for my warranty to expire.

I have a 2013 rene xxc 1k so it should have a visco lok qe in it. I've noticed that my front tire will spin for about 3 seconds before it will finally engage the other wheel. I thought it was supposed to engage a lot faster than this???

Have a bit of play in pinion shaft, how do I change or replace bushing Polaris calls it Dawel pin or bushing.
I can have a local guy make one a lot cheaper. Polaris sells it as art of a kit includes pinion shaft, bearing ,
Seal , retainer clip, pinion seal, all for $688.00 don't need all that.

A little advice please.
Thanks

Im new and didnt know what to buy so struck a deal on 2 polaris machines. 450 HO for wife and 570 for myself. So far so good. If we really use these machines Im going for an 850 late but for now until I know how they are used this is my plan. :lick:

I originally had no intentions on buying a SXS but the wife wanted one and we were looking at a left over XDS turbo and its the one I wanted, (didn't want an X3 as they are 30grand plus in Canada) so the XDS seemed like enough machine as I mainly ride dirt bike. by the time the wife makes up here mind everything was sold and we settled for the XXC model.


I thought the skinnier version would be better for the trails but around here everything is SXS's anyway and its littered with XRS X3's at 72" wide, my cousins XRS goes everywhere I does and its silky smooth. I've been thinking about converting my XXC to the 64" wide to get a little more suspension and stability. most kits I see online are for XDS/XRS mavericks.


What options are there? I found a LT kit but the store said after spending $6000 CAD i'll be over 70" wide and still half as good as a base X3 so that's no good. I looked for a wrecked XMR as it seems to have the same TTA rear suspension and its also octane blue like mine but nothing I could find.


Thanks for any help.
