Hello.

I purchased a (new) 2018 sportsman 850 sp back in December. It's my first atv, however I have some experience riding a 2004 honda. I picked the 850 because I am a heavier individual and I didn't want the atv to have any trouble with my weight.

I currently have 12 hours and 55 miles on it - it's kind of difficult for me to find legal local places to ride. Also, my mother's husband with the honda wants to ride with me, and the trailer I have is only big enough for one atv (and I don't have a truck) so that doesn't help. So we must trailer my atv to his parents house an hour each way where his atv is stored.

I've done 4 things to it so far other than that it's stock. Next winter I will be added heated hand grips and a plow, other than that I don't have anymore plans for mods.
-Winch with synthetic rope
-Hitch
-3rd brake light
-Light bar

Wife and I have been out of the quadding lifestyle for about 8 years. Started with a pair of Honda Rubicons and now have a Canam Outlander Max 850 XT. Looking forward to our first ride ASAP. Thanks for adding me to the group.

Hello, new to the forum and recently just purchased a 2019 570 EPS sportsman, plan on using it mostly for hunting and riding around farm/hunt club, but also encounter some pretty muddy/wet situations working and riding in duck hunting impoundments, was wondering if there are any accessories or modifications that are a must have for this machine in these conditions? The parts I have already ordered when purchasing the machine are the following: 28x9x12 mega mayhem tires and front and rear Polaris utility metal racks. I am considering a 2� lift for the front and possibly a clutch kit if necessary. Thanks!

Fires but won’t start. Seems like carb and dirty air filter issue. Recommendations if this sounds correct and where to purchase both online? Thanks

Hey folks, anyone on here remove the taillight assembly on an outlander? Are the tiny bolts above the tire a weird size? I have to remove assembly to tighten bolt on the plastic bumper piece.

I just recieved my Kimpex fender flares in the mail today. I was hesitant on picking them up at first because I wasn't sure if I was going to like them with the rear bumper spacing... but ordered them anyway. We just finished installing them, easy install and I think they look pretty good and practical as these Bearclaws like to throw around a lot of earth.

I will still have to remove the bumper eventually and add some spacers between the frame and bumper to bring the out from under the fender but where they are now they aren't flexing the flares.

Pretty happy with the product, seem very durable and flexible.

Does anyone know where I can locate a replacement used rear shock for a 2002 Sportsman 500 ? Or a place that will rebuild the old one ?

We had one of the strangest winters this year in Phoenix, AZ. It was unusually wet and cold. We didn't get monster rain storms as in past years but we had a lot of rain on a regular basis. We're not complaining by any means - just letting you know this year has been very different. There had been a couple of slight snow dustings as well on the outskirts of town this winter, but a few weeks ago there were record snowfalls in the mountains that came down to the outskirts of Phoenix. Flagstaff, AZ which is about 2 hours away from Phoenix had a record 38 inches of snow from one storm in a 48 hour period of time.

Since the snowfall was so close to town it was time to load up my new to me, 2018 Polaris RZR XP4 1000 and see how the stock Maxxis Bighorn tires do in the snow. I called a friend of mine, Troy, who showed up with a 2018 Can-AM XR Turbo.



After unloading we had to go take a look at the first water crossing that leads to a 70-foot waterfall. There are 16 water crossings in total to get to the falls and usually, when the water is flowing like this you can't make it across the creek as it is too deep and flowing too fast to cross safely.





Troy could have probably bombed across but there are some crossings much wider and deeper so we opted to go play in the snow.

Within a couple of miles of unloading, I hit one of my favorite trails that goes to the top of one of the smaller mountains and snakes along it like riding on a dragons back. Before we reached the top there was snow. For us flatlanders this was exciting!



I've been on this trail numerous times, it's steep rocky and rutted. One could say it's a normal desert trail except for a little snow added to the mix. So far the Maxxis Bighorn tires were doing great in this rough terrain.

Our intentions were to head up the main road toward the old gold mining town of Crown King and turn off on a trail up and over the taller mountains to a Jeep trail called Desoto Mine. After our turn off at the base of the first switchback, the snow was much deeper. There was a neat smaller waterfall with deep snow on the side of it that we just had to stop to take a photo of before continuning our way up the mountain.



The trail was getting interesting now as there was only one track from someone before. I guess I should have had Troy lead with his 32-inch Bighorn tires, although his Can-Am is 72-inches wide and mine is only 66-inches wide so I couldn't fit in his tracks anyway.

Got these custom badges for my xmr. They can put so good I’m buying a empire exhaust custom color powder coated as well. Their customer service is awesome. That being said if anyone is looking to buy a yoshi can am outlander slipon mine will be up for sale and available in about a week or so when my new pipe comes in.
