G'day everyone!

Just picked up my new 2018 Sportsman 850 SP on the weekend! A real blast to ride and just love her.

I had the dealer install the Polaris hand guards at the time of purchase but I never thought about mirrors. I have to do some country road riding to get to the trails and realized I really should have bought mirrors. My left handlebar (where i'd prefer having a mirror) is already pretty full with the winch control and hand/thumb warmer control. So, I was thinking something that fits on the end of the Polaris handguard would be best. Anyone have any ideas for me?

I've only seen some online for the PowerMadds but not the Polaris ones...

Hope you guys can help!

Oh and BTW, pic attached of the new machine just because I'm so happy! LOL

I'm looking to add the XT gauge cluster and upper storage bin to my DPS model. I think I pretty much have all of the parts figured out except which screws hold in the storage bin. If any XT owners out there can let me know how/what the storage bin above the gauge is bolted in would be appreciated? Look in your dash bin. Is there bolts bolting it down in from the top, or are there bolts coming in from below that screw in to the bottom bin? Is there a panel nut below that a bolt threads into? Parts diagram makes it unclear how it is bolted in. Pictures always appreciated. Thanks for any help....

I just purchased a can am ds 70. It needed a belt when i purchased it. (This of course was what i was told) The Machine did run very well when i purchased it at a pretty good deal. I’ve done the ds 90 throttle cable swap. Bought a new air filter. Purchased the belt for the wheeler. I’ve put some led headlights in. I’m giving this to my son on Christmas (unless I cannot get stuff figured out)
Here’s the issues!! PLEASE HELP!

I installed the belt and the 4 wheeler seemed to be under a load and wouldn’t keep idle without me giving gas. When I shift into forward, the secondary clutch seems to grab and stay in place while the belt is still spinning around it and turning with the primary clutch. It’s almost like jerking like it wants to move but doesn’t. I’m very confused. Do I have something installed wrong? Did i not put the belt down far enough on the secondary clutch?

The second issue is the fact that the throttle cable fits and all, but I feel it hesitates to catch as I give it throttle. There’s a bit of a delay and the response is terrible compared to the other wheeler I own. Can someone please give me some good insight? I’ve searched and searched forums and google, but I cannot find a single thing that’s answering the issues directly.

Hello to all. I purchased my first can am (for my son) it’s a can am ds 70 and I’m here because I’m having issues. I want to learn about these machines more as I’m considering purchasing myself a nice toy as well. Going to post in the ds section for some hopefully great help! Nice to meet everyone.

Hello everyone! My 1st post .
First of all thanks for reading and responding if you do.
I just picked up three used quads.
Two are 09 Sportsman XP’s one 550 with power steering red and the other an 850 with a box on the back and a 3k winch with a front mounted plow . Oh and they both came with nice hand guards and front brush guards over the head lights.
But here’s the best part. The 550 has 620 miles on it and the 850 has 408 miles on them and they’re both spotless. I got them and a 90cc kymco for my daughter with s tilt sled trailer for a price so ridiculous you’d hate me if I told you . I have a Honda year 2K Forman as well. Except to see lots of pictures as soon as I can figure out how to do that!
You’ll see me soon!

hi does anyone have color changing halos on their can ams? i bought a renegade and it came with color changing halos but i don't know what the app is called so that i can download it in order to change the colors. any help would be much appreciated, thanks :th_smiliewavey:

Do the exist without major modifications? If anyone has done this please let me know which hand guards you used and your install process. Thanks

digging into an issue I'm having. I have replaced the rad and thermostat, my fan also works fine. My bike flashes 'HOT' even though I believe as do others, it's not really overeating.

I'm trying to change the thermal sensor located upper back left corner behind the clutch assembly cover on the block. This sensor activates the 'HOT' warning on the display hud from research I've done.

The issue is, I've been to a Polaris dealer and even they can't provide the part number for that sensor. The mechanic who came out to look at it was surprised there was a 'quick connect' right at the sensor. He went in to look at the schematics on-line, even looking at a year before (2007) and a year after (2009) with no luck. Pretty bad I think.

He then started suggesting maybe someone basterdized it but, I then explained I bought it there NEW in 2008 and I haven't touched it because I'm a mechanical moron. They have done all my servicing to this point.

Their Service Manager tried with no luck as well. Talk about frustrating.

So if anyone has any idea as to the part number, I would appreciate any help as well.

I picked up someone else's winter project and was given a bunch of hoses:crying. I'm mostly confused about the two hoses that come off a splitter at the top of the tank.

A handmade drawing will be fine:grin
