Timing off on 2014 570 Sportsman

Hello all. Having issues getting 570 Sportsman to start. Think key on crank may be sheared. Lined up V on flywheel in the crank position sensor hole. Stuck screwdriver in spark plug hole to see if it went down when I turned the crank. It kept going up about another couple inches.

Shouldn't the piston be at Top Dead Center when the V is lined up?

Lined up Cam according to manual with V in center of window and bike backfires through intake and blows throttle body out of intake boot.

Fuse problem

I have 2013 sportsman 500 HO. I bought it spring last year. About 3 months of having it I was riding shut it off to take a break and when I went to fire it up I had no power so I towed it home and realized the main fuse was blown. I put a new fuse in it and it was fine for a few weeks. But then it started happening again Id turn the key to start it and the fuse would blow like a light bulb going out. I would keep a box a 20 volt fuses with me just Incase it blew. But now it blows almost 90% of the time I try to start it. I have power when I turn the key once but when I turn it to start the wheeler it blows. If I jump the solenoid it fires right up but when I turn the key the main fuse blows. I can’t find any shorts in the wiring and I’m not sure what else to do.

Re-painting Beadlock Rims

Hello all, was just wondering if anyone had any success at repainting their bead-lock wheels? I'm thinking of removing and just using spray can paint on them as I'm sure they're going to get scuffed up again. Powder coat seems expensive, for what it is. Has anyone had success with just re-spraying theirs? Also I have a Renegade XXC in the white and red and the bead-locks are red. Does anyone have a good color match recommendation for the Can-am Red? Thanks in advance!!!!
