01 sportsman front hub bearings…

Morning guys, got a question about my 500...doing some maintenance that started with a belt and solenoid, turned into brakes, all 4 axles, changed all fluids and a few other things, I'm sure many know the drill....anyway I'm putting the front axles back together and was going to re-grease the bearing as I always do on cars and I remembered reading somewhere you should not do that on these machines because bearing grease contaminates the demand drive oil, is this the case?? The demand drive oil is good enough in the hubs?? Thanks for any help, Ron

battery maintenance or replace

Hey everyone! So the battery in my Outlander is plugged into a NOCO Genius G1100 battery maintainer and the wheeler is kept in a heated garage. It always starts fine but yesterday I went ice fishing and it sat in the cold for a few hours and it did not want to start. Finally after 5 or 6 tries it started and I was able to make it home. I have no idea how old the battery is. For all I know it could be the original battery from 2009. My question is, should I try to add some distilled water or acid to the battery or just buy a new one?

2013 outlander 1000 shocks

I have a 2013 outlander 1000 with a 4" catvos lift and basic outlander xt shocks. All 4 shocks have a 2" puck lift. My question is, if I purchase the fox podium shocks that have preload adjustment, will I be able get away from the pucks and set my ride height with the preload on the fox shocks. Also input if this is a good idea or not. I ride mostly mud and slow speed trails. Thanks in advance.

2010 860xp NGK Spark plu gap……

Ive been doing preventative maintenance on my 2010 850xp, all fluids, grease fittings and replaced the spark plugs with NGK (6799) LZKAR7A , the factory gap is.035, do most of you guys stay with that gap or have you had better idling, running machines with a different gap setting?

2006 Outlander 650 Models

I bought a 2006 Outlander 650 XT Max about a week ago and am confused about some of the designators used.

From various places I've read, it seems that there's a

650
650 XT
650 MAX
650 XT MAX

I've kind of come to the conclusion that the XT is the winch and the MAX is the 2-up configuration.

If that's right, are there any other differences of note? I imagine these distinctions apply to other nearby years, 2007/08, etc?

Is the Max chassis/wheelbase any longer?



Thanks

Brake job

Looking for advice. Went to look at 2002 Explorer 400 and brakes didn’t work at all. I realize it could be a number of things but at worst case what could be top cost if needed to be replaced? Thanks

2012 renegade injectors

I'm thinking about changing my injectors in my 500 renegade 2012, and have a set of injectors from a 2011 xxc 800 laying around any know if it would be worth to replace them or should I go with the 800R green injectors? The 500 is bored to a 740 if anyone is wondering why I want to change them... thanks!!
