Looking to replace the front axles of my '11 Outlander XTP Max 800. Any opinions on which one I should go w/? Stock and Rhino are $200 , the Titans are on sale for $150. Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi, long time Sportsman rider (2004 400 Hunter Model) owned for 12 years, used for hunting, plowing my driveway and work around my acreage.

A buddy offered me his 08 500 2X Touring with EFI at a decent price. Has 3500lb winch and snow plow. He owned it for 1 year and never used it. It's a better machine as I hunt in AZ and need to change the carb jets in the 400 every time I go there. Plus I can 2 up on it legally, in Iowa the DNR fines people riding double on ATV's $195. They feel it is safer to put another person on a sled (NOT!) we use them on lakes for ice fishing. And with EFI no choke is needed on the cold mornings.

I took headlight cover off on the Sportsman 500 and noticed the high beam wires were cut. Bulb was still there with two wire leads (yellow and brown) cut. (I had never tried the high beams the one time I drove it)

The machine has a plow and I wondered if the first owner would have cut the high beam and ran the switch wires to other lights? There aren't any on it, but often with plowing you can't see over the blade when it is up, so you run on high beam.

Any ideas why the high beams would be cut on this machine? I couldn't find the leads coming from the switch. I ruled out the mod and relay to run all three lights at once, heck the high beam isn't even connected.

Any mods out there common to these things I am missing? Are the wires coming from the switch the same color or does it go through a connector on its way to high beam bulb?

I have two other connectors not hooked to anything under the headlight dash cover. A black 2 wire squareish one and a white 4 wire one inline one with 5 volts on the two center contacts. Anyone know what these are?

Thanks

I have read all over the internet about the left side of the XMR getting hot and melting the plastics and/or the seat. I now own a 2018 XMR 1000 and based on what this post turns up I will be ordering the materials to wrap the exhaust and protection for the plastics and air box. This week though I will be adding the RJWC exhaust and having MR RPM do the flash. I feel that these 2 things alone should help right?

Thanks to everyone that chimes in on this subject.

I’m looking at some Maxxis Zilla tires for my atv. The current tires on the front are 26x8-12 and the Maxxis Zilla’s come in 26x9-12. Just wondering if anyone knows if they’ll fit or if that won’t work. Thank you in advance for any help.

Hi all! I currently own (from new) a 2005 Polaris 800 EFI. Use to do lots of trail riding with fire department buddies but now I just mostly use my atv for work around the house, like lowing the driveway in the winter. I’m also a volunteer firefighter and have used my atv along with other members of our department for rescue operations. Thank you in advance to everyone.
