Hi, during a recent mud run I churned up a large stick in a mud pit which in turn bashed the Rad Guard pretty good.

The rad is intact, but I'm thinking if I don't fix this, the next one will damage it. Is this a matter of taking of the guard and straightening it out, or should it be replaced?

So, after chatting with mr. osta, I ordered up a set of ROX 2" 1 1/8" risers for the XMR. My excitement came crashing down when I realized that the bike has a 7/8" bar. My fault for not checking, though Dave did tell me XMR's had a 1 1/8" bar haha. My question for those with 19's, is this just a 650 XMR thing or does anyone with a 850/1000 have the 7/8" bars too?

Anyone need some 2" risers? :D

KoomaFloo.

Okay will start an idol and run okay for the first 3 minutes with the choke out
The minute I push the choke in it dies
When I try to restart it it does a weird thing and it sounds like the piston is moving but there's no explosion at the top of the piston.
I know I sound crazy and this freaking machine is driving me nuts.
The machine ran great
Until about a year ago.
I was going through batteries like crazy
I come to find there's a big draw on the electrical system I would leave it for a week with the keys off the battery would be dead I did a test with the positive battery and found it had a drain that was coming from somewhere.
I read about the ECM problem I thought it was coming from there.
I didn't want to spend $130 for a new ECM so I put in a battery cutoff switch. To save the battery charge I would completely shut the battery off from the machine and when I wanted to use it turned on the battery cutoff and it started right up and ran good.
Thinking I had a fuel issue with the carburetor.
I pulled the original carburetor off rebuilt it. With the old parts.
That looked in good shape.
I used an ultrasonic cleaner
95% water 5% purple power
It came out clean all the Jets you could see through the jet and everything went back together fine , even the diaphragm on top or whatever they call that thing with the rubber circle with the spring that closes in the throat of the carburetor worked good I would push it up with my finger and it would return down out of 10 times it always returned down maybe once in twenty it would get stuck up top.
I changed the fuel pump and fuel filter.
Tomorrow I will pull the gas tank and make sure the petcock reserve as well as on are draining with sufficient fuel coming out of them.
when it would start which it always started up and it always idled but the minute I touch the gas it bogs and dies
And then when it would run good I would be going down the block about 3/4 throttle and it would start to stumble and go to die and then I would pull out the choke it would recover a little bit and then eventually die.
I read a lot of posts on this forum and some of them was similar to my problem
I'm trying not to bother anybody but I really am losing my mind.
Airbox is hooked up with all the air hoses nothing is pinched
Thanks in advance for any help.
could this be related to the drain that I found with the key off it still drains the battery?

Hello all from another new guy. Picked up a 2011 Sportsman 500 for a couple thousand. Quad is pretty clean but having an issue with the speedo. Once she starts rolling the speedo rolls up to 70mph almost immediately. I replaced the speedo sensor located near the right rear wheel with no change. All other electronics are working.

I’m an new to this forum and the world of owning a Can Am. I purchase a 2016 570 that has a aftermarket EPI clutch set up for 28+ tires. I was given the stock clutch and am planning on installing it soon; however I seem to be missing one of the clutch levers (only have 5). Does anybody know where I could pick up one? The number stamped on the side is 099.

Thanks for your help!

I am upgrading my ATV's lights for plowing. I bought some nice Traveller lights from tractor supply, but they were too big to fit in the back like I wanted. So I am putting them on the front. I wound up finding some cheap ones at Wallmart that were the right size. There is a big difference in quality.

My original idea was to replace the reflectors with the lights flush mounted, but the more I looked at that, the more I realized that they would probably get destroyed by all the grime, stones, and mud that the tires kick up. I did find a place for them tucked up under the rack.

I plan to wire both sets of lights (front and back) up to a switch on the dash, and I will manually control when they are on or off.

I will add some more pictures when the project is finished.

I do a lot of camping/hunting/fishing/4x4ing off my bike and on weekends away I carry a lot of gear with a little trailer but latley the trailer is getting hung up on a lot of dense bush, it's really only for the trip in and out.

I'm thinking of making a smaller trailer but I thought I'd ask does anyone else take a trailer or load up the bike?

The blue trailer is a nice narrow one a mate has and the other one is the one I usually load up.
