The other night was loading my 800 sportsmen efi. And i noticed my exhaust pipe coming out of the cylinder was cherry red. I changed my plugs , still red. Any help. machine has only 550 miles on it and it a '07 . thanks

I need to replace my starter solenoid but all the aftermarket parts only have 1 red wire soldered to it and mine has 2 wires 1 us red and white the other is yellow and green I believe can someone please give me some guidance

There are only 4 screws to place to hold in place the Stock Can-Am front bumper, However it is not obvious how to get a wrench on the "nut" deep side ot the upper screws. You have to first remove these two screws and after they loosen just a bit, they just spin with no way to get a wrench on the deep side nut. There has to be a simple solution without taking off half of the front end????? Thanks for anyones help.

Fabrication/Modification Life, SALUTE!

I've had my 14 XMR 650 for a few months. I've gone riding only a handful of times. I've had my quad apart more than I've ridden it. [unfortunately]

I've had this issue since the last time I've gone riding. There is a squeal or squeaking noise coming from the left rear wheel. I inspected it and found the CV axle was torn. I didn't know how long it was left unsealed for so I went ahead and changed the whole axle. Well, the squeealing is still there. Kind of sounds like it may be the bearing in the trailing arm. Does anyone else have any other opinions on what the culprit may be?

Also, after I bolted everything back together. I noticed the front suspension was creaking. If you push the nose down you can hear it. Kind of like jumping on a boxspring mattress from the 50's. Not sure but was thinking since I had the rear jacked up for a couple of weeks while I searched for an axle it may have worn down a grease point and now having a metal on metal contact.

I did go through all of the zerk fittings and re pack everything. I still have two more to go through up front but I don't suspect it's the culprit. This seems to be coming from the front springs. I tried spraying WD40 in the most common contact points to identify the location but have had no luck.

If anyone has pointers on my two questions I'd appreciate it. About to pull the trailing arm off again and have the bearing replaced on Monday. $25 dollars, just can't beat that.

Hi all from S.E. Mi.

I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas on this:

I'm getting back into quad riding and have a new 1000XP Touring and I find if I ride for more than a half hour or so, the pad of my right thumb gets sore. I tend to place it on the edge of the throttle level, which obviously isnt the best place but any lower down (on the flat side), seems a bit of a stretch.

Does anyone know of an accessory or adjustment to help with this?

Thanks,
Scott
