I purchased a 2002 325 Magnum for my wife and noticed a problem with the lights. It had no brake light so I checked the bulb,sure enough,the filament for the brake light was broken. No problem,new bulb,right? Wrong...put a new bulb in now the brake light works,but it also comes on with the head/tail lights. I suspect the bad bulb was put in intentionally. Without pulling everything apart to troubleshoot the harness I just wondered if anyone else has had this happen just to save some time and trouble. Thanks!
Another newbie
Hello all. Been riding for years. Started on a Polaris Magnum 425 and have slowly upgraded. Been searching for the last few months on a new ride and it was between a brute force and the can am. Well we can all guess who won....... Picked up a new 2018 Outlander Dps 850 in orange. So far I am in love with it. Now with that being said. I am after some mods already for it. Mainly clutching and a upgraded belt. I have tried to search but have not found anything im 100% on with this being so new. Picture i have uploaded is the machine itself. Don't have any on my phone yet.
Polaris 400 cooling system
So I am replacing the Head Gasket on my sons 400 Scrambler - Along with the fan sensor (cylinder head) and the radiator sensor (both were new old stock) - After everything is reassembled is there a way to check the fan operation ? Can one of the sensors be jumped to turn the fan on ?
2017 Defender HD8 XT Cab fuel millage?
I was wondering what kind of fuel millage others are getting? I just picked up a great deal on a 17 Defender HD8 XT Cab and went on a 35.7 mile trail ride (Elk Hunting) and used 3.44 gallons that is 10.37 miles to the gallon. Now I did all this in work mode only with a average of 8 miles per hour. My next trip will be in Normal mode to see if any difference. Then third trip in Econ mode to see the difference. I was very happy with the performance and comfort of my Defender on this trip and looking forward to my next trip. I have been a side by Side owner since 2006 (Yamaha Rhino). Back to my question, What kind of fuel millage are other Defender owners getting? I just thought it would be higher.

Just finished installing my Can Am rad relocate.
I found it to be a fair bit of work. I took off the plastics, which I probably didn't have to. That was the biggest part of the job. Getting those buggers on an off.
I guess the only other reason I found it a lot of work was because Can Am's instructions I downloaded were useless.
I purchased proper hose clamps, and did not use the one time use clamps that were provided. Just incase I needed to take a hose off (for future mods, or a mistake when installing etc)
I didn't mount the Can Am symbol on top of the rad. I was thinking of designing my own and cutting it out (I have a CNC Router that will do the job) Just not sure what I want on it yet.
This is my youtube video, if anyone is having thoughts of installing one, it may help ..it may not help!

PS Stay tuned for my Can Am plow I purchased on FB Market place :big-grin

Glad to be here
Hello everyone. My name is Dexter skinner. I’m new to this forum.
I’m a retired Engineer that lives in both Florida and Costa Rica.
I resently acquired (4 month ago) a 2008 Can Am renegade to enjoy the true beauty of Costa Rica beach side life style. It’s been a dream to have one of these beast.
With the purchase of this unit, I have been spending a lot of my time bringing it up to excellent conditions. So far, things are going extremely well. Spending a lot of money on new parts with my travels back to the USA.
Once in a while I may ask for your help. Please be patient with me.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards: Dexter

Key Not recognized…..
Has anyone else had an issue or any experience with the their key no longer being recognized?
My 1000 xt-p has been parked about 2 1/2 weeks while I've been putting on a new snorkel kit. When I started this, I disconnected the negative battery terminal. During the process I had to remove the ignition to put in a new dash/ Guage mount. When I un plugged the ignition, it came apart. I got it back together, finished the snorkel, reconnected the battery, turned the key on... The lights and dash came on, the greeting went across the screen, then I pushed the start button and nothing happened... Then the message went across the screen "DESS key not recognized"

Sportsman 450 HO Utility
I recently purchased a 2018 450 HO Utility and was wondering is there a conversion for the rear "Tough Rack" to allow the use of Lock and Ride Accessories?? I figured I'd ask before I start to fabricate something.
THANKS!!
