MICHIGAN need riding friend/buddy over 50

I'll keep looking/asking/posting, until I find someone to join me for trip out, up north here, when weather improves. I've been exploring many trails, every year, almost every week throughout riding season there, since 86 and can offer many terrific hidden gems over hundreds of sq miles!. I prefer to ride/camp with one other person, helps to cut down on dust and odds of mishaps. I have TRX450r and KQ750. Also van and trailer for hauling atv's. Normally camp w/tent weather permitting, or Trails Inn St Helen, on colder day/night trips. I'm fine with camper depending on your camping preference.
Get in touch before season starts, to get acquainted beforehand, and to go over any questions you might have. Thanks, Steve
Don't ride alone, not safe, much better riding w/ friend/buddy and hopefully for many great trips/years!

Is anyone else watching the Dakar Rally?

Looks like such a B***h in the sand. Hoping someone with more knowledge than I can chime in here. All I have is the TV coverage on NBCSN. Why no Polaris ATVs or SxS. How do you get a speeding penalty in a race through the desert? Good news- there are a couple USA riders in the top 10 for the motorcycles. Why does Robbie Gordon have a speed restriction in the cars class?

Plow help.

Just picked up a plow for a 06 Polaris sportsman 500 HO. I was told the mount would fit, I think the lady was mistake. She did say it was her ex-husbands and didn't know much about it.

Can anyone tell me if the mount will fit. If it does fit, where can I find a PDF or video for instructions on how to install. If not does anyone know who makes the plow, so I can order the correct mount. I can't find any model numbers on the plow. Thank you.

New to CanAm and ATV’s in general

Bought a used 2006 CanAm Outlander Max 650 today. More quad that we need except I want the 2 up format so that passenger can ride comfortably

Rode a bit today on pavement. Has new tires with a pretty aggressive off road tread. Makes it less than fun to handle on pavement as the speed goes up. Looks like it will be fun on the dirt around where I live, in Southern AZ, once I figure out how to handle it.

Oil leak,belt slipping and all kinds of fun.

Hello, just bought a 2016 maverick 1000r. Has 2500 miles on it. While riding, I can smell oil burning and belt slips bad at just taking off. Torn into it tonight and seen all kinds of oil around rear head and primary clutch has a light coat of rust. Plus when I started it. Rear exhaust starting smoking and I could smell burning oil. Did I buy a worn out can am. Guy said it was serviced at dealer every 500 miles. I called dealer and they confirmed it was serviced at the intervals it should have been. Sorry about all the pictures, but gives everyone a good ideal. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Attachment 85350Attachment 85354Attachment 85352Attachment 85352 https://youtu.be/jJkffH33hIM

2003 sportsman 600 twin

I had posted earlier that I was having problems with my carburetor. Gas was pouring out the overflow tube and just wasn’t running good. Good news all fixed and running great. Here’s s couple tips for future reference. I purchased a kit for the carburetor. Prior to installing clean it up. Make sure the throttle cable has about 1/8 freeplay or it won’t idle down and I adjusted the fuel adjuster back 1&3/4 turns. Some will be different it just takes patience. I’ve done axle,bushings including steering bushing. Brake shoes caliper and flushed old brake fluid. Also fixed water pump leak.

2008 800 sportsman over heating.

Hello guys and gals. And i wanna say thanks for any help in advance. I have a 2008 800 sportsman thats wanting to overheat. You can hear it bubbling in the system after letting it run for about 10 or so minutes. Ive cleaned radiator inside and out. Flushed the block. Checked water pump impeller and it is ok. It has no thermostat in it which is why i am wondering how its overheating without it. And fan runs all the time.
