Hi guys, I'm a newbie here looking for some guidence.



I own a 2013 Outlander Max 1000 LTD. The compressor for my air suspension system is shot, and the dealer wants to charge me over $700 for a new compressor. I'm not going that route. What I'd like to do instead is remove the rear air shocks and replace them with some conventional heavy duty coil spring shocks. Anybody here ever done this or have any experience in this area? I'm looking for recommendations on the best shocks for this purpose. This machine gets used hard on the farm and carries some heavy loads. (That's probably what led to the death of my compressor! The air shocks never really gave me the kind of support I wanted.) So, can it be done? If so, who makes the best shocks for this job, and where is the cheapest place to buy them?


Thanks.

Just had my quad in for its 200 hour service . It was an overkill one as I am not even close to that yet I just wanted to get everything done so I don't have to worry for awhile. It was expensive so I told them not to do anything else without asking me first. They came back with a throttle cable needing to be replaced (end of adjustment). Swingarm bearings, rear wheel bearings both sides and front upper a arm bushings both sides. Anybody tackled this stuff themselves. Any aftermarket parts you would recommend that would be stronger. I looked at garage products for the bushings.... But I am a little lost on the other parts.
Thanks
Dan

Just grabbed this 2019 Renegade 1000r. Test drove it in the parking lot. Literally said "holy crap bro!" as I was riding it and took it home. Had a 2001 polaris sportsman 500, 2014 polaris sportsman 570, a small stint with a raptor 700, and now this. This bike feels amazing and the attention to detail seems much better than my polaris.Attachment 84384

Just bought this a few weeks ago. Rode fine for awhile. Starts fine. Rides fine for 5-10 min and then shuts off. Starts again and rides for a few more minutes. Progressively gets harder to start and run. Not sure what to do

New to Can Am Forums. I have been a Yamaha and Honda machine guy for some time - i have an opportunity to grab a 2007 Outlander 650 HO XT for a very attractive price. Has 900 miles on it and around 100 hours. Appears to be in mint condition. Is there anything i need to know about this machine before i pull the plug and buy it? It has never seen mud, used mostly for plowing and light hauling around a friend on mines property. Any and all help or input is deeply appreciated. CHEERS

So it's time to do another rebuild. I've owned the quad since 2005. The first rebuild I just changed the rings and gaskets. This time I'm getting the cylinder replated, adding a high comp piston and possibly getting valve work and porting. It's stock except for the exhaust cap, jetting, airbox lid mod and big gun cdi. Can anyone point me to the right area of the forum that specializes in the DS 650? I have a few questions on changes and upgrades I'd like to do this time around. By the way, I love the quad. It's always been a blast. Even when I made a huge jump and had to get 10 staples in each knee from hitting the bars. Don't drink and ride. There is such a thing as too much fun. My favorite thing to do is massive drifting donuts in the field and blasting by and quad I want and watching them frown. My wife has an LTZ 400 which is pretty quick in it's own right. It is just too small for me. Riding the DS is like riding the Cadillac of sport quads. I'm also a fan of 2 stroke dirt bikes.

The polaris web site does not say that the new 2019 570 X2 ATV has Versatrac, aka Turf mode, aka real differential.

But my dealer says the 2019 X2 DOES HAVE versatrac.

So what is the truth? (If they do have it, any reason why they wouldn't list it as a feature?)
