Hi,
Yesterday I was plowing snow with my ATV, and it ran just fine, I parked it, came out today and its like super loud, and it almost seems like its just running a lot harder, Does anyone have any idea what my problem is?
Just an offhand guess (from an obvious novice) is something with the muffler?
Thanks

Anyone installed the Tusk or EZ steer units? Read somewhere the motor hangs down inside and under the dash. Any pics of an installed unit, true or false? Thanks. 2017 ACE 570.

The manual says to change every 2 years; however, if it is hardly used then is it necessary? I know brake fluid isn't like engine oil but it's still a question I've had since owning my machines ('13 Sportsman 500 &' 14 Sportsman 850 xp). I have not changed the brake fluid in them yet. But they are low in hour usage (500: 75 hours, 850: 115).

Anyhow, I'm trying to get them ready for the spring. Any thoughts on the brake fluid?

I ride on a lot of Rocky (big Rocks) trails with a good amount of mud.
My stock ITP's are just not cutting it.
I'm smashing up the bottom of my Quad a lot and need some more ground clearance.
I'm thinking a bigger tire may help, maybe 27"??

The problem is I also like to ride fast to keep up with my Dirt Bike buds and I don't want to sacrifice handling too much.


Any sugestions? Zillas?

Thanks,
Mark

I have a lakehouse that has a long driveway fits 9 cars in a row, a boat ramp a mile away to tow pontoon boat and some decent Midwest trails nearby. My available used choices are

2004 Sportsman 400 with plow $2700 250 miles 1400 hours

2004 Sportsman 700 no plow
$3000 300 miles 1000 hours

2013 Sportsman 850 HO no plow
$5500 750 miles 8 hours

Used for
Mainly yard work, firewood and up and down the hill to our own boat dock, to load and gas it up. You know the back n forth trips having a boat.

Plowing snow - 9 car driveway

Towing pontoon boat to ramp a 1/2 mile

Hitting trails 10 miles away 3x a year

Any advice would be appreciated. I just got the house last year, neighbors us golf carts 9 months out of the year I want something all year and to hit the trails with my 11 year old when we get time. Thank you for your help. 1st ATV purchase.

I'm new to Can Am, I'm a disabled veteran that lives in New Hampshire, I just got a chance to upgrade, I had an 04 Arctic cat 650 and sold it and bought a 14 can am 650 xmr. I'm looking for any advice on performance mods.

I was wondering if anyone experimented with using the different weights that come with the kit. I’m looking for some weight guidance for my 570...hmf slip on .. hmf tuner..28” maga mayhems. Not sure if this stuff matters but that’s my setup I’m sticking with. Any info would be helpful... thanks

Hello everyone!

I had a tusk oil filter fail on me (gasket blew) and so I decided to go back to Polaris brand filters. So I went to the nearest store and they gave me one but it didn't match the standard part number for my atv.
Given: #2540086

OEM filter for it: #2520799
Would is still work?

I know this topic has been discussed several times with people on different ends of the spectrum on what is the best way to break in a new engine. Saw this this video on YouTube from Motorcyclist Magazine. They did a really good comparison on what is the best method to use whether to use wide open or vary the rpms to break in a new engine. Results were: there wasn’t any difference between the two in engine specs after 1000 miles...Not trying to sway anyone to do one or the other just thought it was an interesting video.
Here is the link if anyone is interested

Recently purchased a 2018 outlander 570 xmr, have grown up around atv's but new to the mud side of things, hoping to learn a few things from the forum!
