Ok so I just picked up a used scrambler 50 for my son. The guy I bought it from says there is mixed fuel oil in it 32:1 . He said he didn’t trust the oil pump.

Buttt he said everything is still hooked up if I want to drain the gas and fill oil tank and fresh gas.

Don’t you need to remove pump? And block it off?. Also cap spot on carb?

I am having some issues with fuel/oil mix leak and it looks like the seal on the air box is bad and it’s leaking. So I need to figure out why the fuel mix is making its way into air box.

On my scrambled 50. I noticed that the crankcase duct hose that runs from the crankcase to the other side has two big tears in it.

Would still cause anything negative ?

Went for the first ride yesterday since having my machine dyno-tuned and the new clutches put in...... Wow! I thought my Gen 1 800 was a beast, this thing kills it now. I raced my brother on his 1000 and they were like 2 different machines. At one point I looked down to see how fast I was going and the speedo was showing 130km/hr..... and it still had a bit more throttle left too!

The clutches work superbly and they are super quiet. My brother runs STM on both clutches and although they are much quieter than stock.... the QSC Rev X and 2nd Gen STM were quieter still.

I am very pleased with the clutch combo and can now recommend the pair to anyone considering them. Time will tell if the primary holds up as good for me as the CV Tech did.

I really can't get over how much oomph is left in these machines after the governor usually kicks in. The ECU reflash was definitely worth it...... no excessive heat from the exhaust at all at any time yesterday.

Has anyone mounted this light bar to a new body style XP1000? Is this the way to go or are 2 4 way cubes a better set up? I’m also wondering about LED bulbs for the headlights and pod light. Night vision stock isn’t horrible, but I’d like more🤓:grin

Hey guys. New to the forum and new to the UTV world in general. I’m buying a 6 seater utility side by side. Pretty sold on the defender max just not sure whether to land on the HD8 or HD10. I found a great deal on a 2018 demo HD8 defender max DPS. Want to pull the trigger but would hate regretting not having enough power. Will use this primarily to take family of 6 back and forth to the lake and also riding on our hunting property. Curious if anyone has much experience riding both the max 8 and the max 10. Most of the reviews I could find were on the 8 and 10 defenders, not the max Would love your thoughts. Thanks!

Hi everyone
Can some one answer this
I raced my 2017 850 Max XT against a 2018 850 XMR and he smoked me, both are stock the only differences are the XMR is running 30x9x14 ITP Cryptic all around and I'm running 28x12x14 rear and 28x10x14 front swamp lights
And also the spec sheet shows the Max dry weight is 821lbs and the XMR comes in at 963lbs and I dont see where the weight increase is on the XMR

Just Sheard my front driveshaft on my Outlander 2017 XMR 1000R. A couple of posts I read told me something about pulling the motor mounts and rotating engine. All I had to do was remove the three differential mounting bolts and rotate the rear end of the front diff upward to give me all the room I needed. Is there something I’m missing? Everything I read made it sound a lot more difficult than it actually was…

I backed it all the out using the motor then I ran it all back in smoothly on the spool.
If you turn the end to free spool, it might pull out a turn or 2 of the spool then it locks.

So what is up with that? How to fix, does it need to be taken apart and greased?

Hey all,
I just bought the alpine plow kit for my 2012 outlander XMR. Put everything together w/ no issues. Now I am having trouble w/ the mounting bracket. I got ATV KIT sku# 715001411. I verified it with the dealer. From what I can see this just isn’t the right kit. Now where I don’t know if the issue may be...when I went to the dealer they had it listed as a 2011 XMR...when I went to purchase it, good news they said they ran the vin and its actually a 2012. Verified that. Now from what I can see...the 2011 and the 2012 look exactly the same. Has anyone else had any issues with the mounting bracket on their 800XMR 2012. Case I’m stumped! Thanks all for any input.

Just wondering if there is a way to override the AWD system and make it like an actual 4x4.
