Went to have my 18 570 recalled work done yesterday. Got to looking around while I was waiting and decided I wanted a 650. Well after spending some time talking, they had a left over 850 max xt, and gave me a killer deal on it. I gave it a quick spin to test out the DPS, I can’t believe What ive been missing out on with the DPS. And wow, huge difference in power as well. So I did the deal and she followed me home.
No power when key is on
I have a 2000 Polaris Sportsman 500. It sat most of the summer and didnt get drove. Battery was toast so I got a new one. New battery shows 13v at the terminals with the wires hooked up. Soon as you turn the key to on battery shows 0 - 2v. Just maybe enough to turn on the neutral light on the dash pod. Not enough to get it to turn over and start. Now if I hook up a battery charger to the battery and set it to a 10 amp charge I can turn the key on and push the start button and everything is good. I know what you are saying bad battery This is a new one and I had it on a 10 amp charge for 3 hours outside of the atv. The thing I dont understand is why the zero volts when turning the key on. Shouldn't be pulling down that much with just the key on. Can understand when trying to actually start it seeing 0v. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Looking for suspension advise
I want to change the foot print of my commander. I was looking at a 6inch lift kit but do want to do it on a $2500 budget. I was looking at a Super atv 6inch kit but everyone is out of stock. Does anyone have a manufacturer of a lift kit that has the kits in stock I would appreciate the info.

Iron Baltic Skid Plate Dealers
Anyone know where in Canada, more specifically central AB, sells iron baltic skid plates? I was looking on their site and the closest dealer to me is in BC.
skid plates/rock sliders
So, I have installed the factory aluminum skid plates for my 1000 Max. I like them they are a good tight fit and seem to do the job well.
I notice though, that the outside edge of the lower plastics at the foot well, hang well below and outside, of the skid plates.
I wonder why BRP did that?
On the Iron Baltic set the footwell skid plates wrap around this edge creating the ability to slide over things instead of "hooking" on the plastic skirt. Maybe to prevent debris accumulation?
My friend who I ride with (also a Max), has already ripped off a chunk of his skirt when pushing up and over a large log/rock combo. I myself have crossed a large log/root/rock sliding directly on this plastic edge and I have slightly deformed the skirt. Thankfully, I did not catch it on the log and rip it off.
The max with the long chassis tends to rub the middle more than other machines on the trails that I ride on. So this got me to start thinking about welding a piece of metal onto the skid plates to act as a "rock slider" I could use a square tube and try to tuck it into the space between the skid plate and the lower skirt. I will probably have to scribe the metal on a band saw so it will tuck up.
I was thinking that if it was flush I would keep the stock look but stop anything from hooking or bending it.
Has anyone done this?
thanks,
