I have a 2012 outlander 1000 that has a metal on metal squeak. It's hard to tell exactly where it's coming from but I'm guessing the rear diff. It is intermittent as it doesn't do it all the time. When it does its usually at low speeds and will get faster with acceleration. I know my seals are bad, but I don't want to spend the time replacing them if I'm just going to need a new diff soon. I'm just hoping is not in the transmission. Anybody have any advice, or had this issue before? Any help is appreciated!
1999 Sportsman 335 – Belt Deflection – Non EBS
Bought a new belt, thought mine was stretched, when idles real slow or shut off machine it hits the inside of the cover - I see wear marks on it. This is a new to me ATV.
So the new belt has same deflection, it sits about 1/16" above the sheaves of the secondary when not running.
ATV runs and shifts fine, I just don't like the belt hitting the cover.
The only thing I found to adjust deflection is shimming the sheaves, the trans in not adjustable to move out the center to center dimension.
If I add shims (just got clutch off - so do not know what or how many shims are in it- looks original) this will make sheaves further apart, moving belt out some but it will lower it from the top of the sheave when not running.
Is this the correct process...
I need or would like to pick up about 1/4".
If I would of known the new belt same as old, I would of bought a shorter belt.
Playing with the idea of making a tensioner for the belt.
Thanks in advance...

2000 Polaris Sportsman 500 Clutch Spring Question
Hey everyone,
Just trying to wrap my head around this whole using different clutch springs on this machine.
A few of my friends are telling me that I can change out the clutch spring in the primary.
What are the different type of springs and what is accomplished with changing them out and where can these be purchased.
Most of the usage I will be performing with this machine is trail riding, some off road, and snowplowing.
Cheers

Outlander 400
Hey everyone, new here and really new to forums and I need some help please. I’m in need of a crankshaft for a 400. Can’t find one anywhere.
1998 sport 400
Ok guys, holding throttle down in gear or not. It'll rev to about 2000 rpm and then drops spark until it falls to maybe 16-1800 rpm and then revs back up again to around 2000. This process will go all day long. Acts like the speed limiter is kicking in but I've disconnected it. New stator, new flywheel, swapped coil, ETC functioning properly, unplugged ground from cdi. Where do I go next? Anyone had a similar issue?
New Can-am owner!
Greetings from Central Oregon. I recently picked up two 2018 outlander 570 xt's for the wife and I. I got her the Max for hauling the kids around, she usually just idles around the roads on the private property we hunt and camp, I went with the one up so I can sneak back to the tight spots to pack the elk out. I've been shopping for awhile but finally decided on the can-am. I hope to learn a bunch here.
