I just wanted to put this out there because I searched for days trying to get an answer. I purchased used but new fox RC2 shocks that are from a 2016 renegade 1000 xxc to put on my 2016 outty 850 xmr. Everything I read said they wouldn't fit because of the longer stroke of the shaft and would rip your headlights out under full compression. These people are wrong. They do fit without any clearance issues with stock tires. I installed them and winched the front end of my xmr down on a trailer until the shocks were compressed to the rubber stop and had a couple inches left until my tires would hit the headlight housings.

I gained 1 1/2 inches of shock travel but with the stock rc2 springs I lost 2 inches of ground clearance (10 inches in front from 12). I haven't had much time to trail ride it and make adjustments but I think I am going to put my xmr springs on it. I think the Rc2 springs are a little soft for the heavier bike. I don't care much about ground clearance. I would rather sacrifice that and have a plusher ride. It seems to be harder to wheelie too since there is better weight transfer when punching the go button compared to the stock shocks. It was too good of a deal to pass up on these RC2 shocks.

Sorry, not sure what you call the black bars/cage/fenders used on the front of the Outlander.

What do you guys use to clean and make them more black?

Thanks!

Picked up a 03 rincon 650 (I’m mainly a can am guy) that needs valve adjustment. And ideas on how long time wise it should take a qualified tech to do it? I’m just pricing shops....I have a few guys in mind and want to have an idea on how long it should take prior to getting a quote so I don’t get hosed.

I bought a 2015 Sportsman 570 SP and it was stored in a shed. A few days after having it I found a smelly mouse nest in the seat. I spent 30min shaking the seat, vacuuming, and blowing compressed air through the two holes in the bottom, but it still wasn't all coming out. I decided to use a garden hose and soap. That seems to have done the trick, but now of course my seat is water logged and I need to dry it out.

I've read that for most seats like this you have to take the seat apart and squish the foam between two pieces of plywood and then put it back together. I'm hoping the foam is different on this one. I propped up the seat for a few hours to let it drain and weighed it on my shipping scale, 16lbs 1oz. I propped it against a fan overnight and it weighs 15lb 1oz.

Can someone weigh their dry seat? I'd like to know when it's fully dry. It feels pretty dry but also heavier than I thought. I don't want to take it ice fishing and have it freeze solid. I should have weighed my before adding water.

Thanks in advance.
