2017 570 It started with mud and then the clicking after a 1″1/2″ lift

2200 KMS on it

It all started with my new ride overheating after playing in the mud, I did the rad relocate kit to fix that. The weight
of the rad relocate kit broke both plastic hinges on the front hood. Bungee cords hold that down, mods in the works.
I read that you could go up one size from stock , after buying 27" forerunners from Royal Distributing.
The rubbing started, the tires tore the screw out of the fender/foot well. So replacing the foot well was $140 used.
Before I changed the foot well I might as well lift it to stop the rubbing. After I went up 1" 1/2" the clicking started. I have been told it could be drive shaft in the rear , but when I grab the shafts there is no movement. I am looking for
ideas before I start ordering aftermarket shafts

I am thankful for Any help

ssavoury_renegade

I have a 2015 800 renegade with roughly 550km and having some issues hope someone can help. I bought this quad with 330km a month ago
1.First problem is between 15-20km an hour it seems to sputter and bogging down but when I crank the throttle it takes off with no issues.
2.Quad idles good, but when I go into water just to bottom of foot boards and come out it has no power and sputtering and give it about a minute or two and it would be back to running normal. Today I put the original plugs back in since I changed them to NGK irridium and after going into mudhole I lost power again but it did not come back. I also noticed the sputtering between 15-20km/hr was gone but quad had no power at all.

Snorkel Your ATV Snorkels

Last of my reviews for the night.

In the spring I bought the Snorkel Your ATV snorkel kit for the Outlander 450. I didn't install it so I cant comment on that part. Other than the instructions are garbage.

Came with everything needed to install. Parts seem kind of cheap. The visible snorkel pieces are a more solid, quality feeling piece. Overall I think the look good on the ATV, though I prefer the hidden look like on my XMR. I had to use some thick black zip ties to hold them all together, otherwise they vibrate and shake all over the place which gets annoying fast.

Even though everything looks and feels cheap, it has actually worked really well. This machine has been in deep water and buried in mud, and has absolutely no leaks. So I cant complain about that.

I would only recommend this kit if money is an issue or if you can not get the BRP kit. I think the BRP one is better quality and has a better finish.

Wild Boar Rad Relocate

I have decided to do a bunch of reviews tonight. The first 2 were long winded but the next 2 will be short and sweet. I purchased the Wild Boar rad relocate kit for my outlander 450. The rad relocate is an essential upgrade, no matter how well I kept the rad cleaned, I just could not keep from overheating on the trails I ride.

This kit is alright, would probably go with a different brand or the BRP one if I buy another ATV where it is not already done on. The metal bracket/cover would be better if it was a heavier gauge steel, it shakes and vibrates a bit. Not terrible but it is noticeable. Kit came with everything needed, but no way to refill rad easily if you had to. So the guy who installed it for me adding a way to fill. Got the lights for under it. Not really needed but I thought what the hell and bought them.

It has done its job well though. The machine has not overheated since it was installed and the fan comes on a lot less. I would recommend a rad relocate to anyone, but would suggest researching your options and see if there is a better quality one out there.

Mastercraft Maximum Waterproof Case

The Intro
I can stand large cases on my ATV's. I have the smaller BRP 45 litre case, which is great on the 450 but on my XMR it sucks because it leaves no areas to strap extra gas or anything too. I loved the look of the Pelican waterproof cases bolted to the back rack, but did not want to pay the price for a Pelican or Nanuk. I happened to be in Canadian Tire one day and in the tool box section came across the Mastercraft Maximum waterproof tool case. It was regular $145 on sale for $75, for the medium one (comes in small, medium or large). For that price I figured I might as well give it a try. Picked up 4 stainless steel bolts, nuts and 8 large washers to install it.

First Impressions
The box seems to be really strong and well built. It closes tight and has very beefy latches on it that seem to hold really well. The box has one of those auto pressure relief valves and comes with 1 layer of solid foam for the bottom, a later on solid foam for the top and is filled with 2 layers of pluckable foam.

The Install
I didn't feel like taking the rack off so what I did was I fed a bolt with a large washer on it up from under the rack through the existing spaces. I put a little blue Loctite on the end of the bolt (it is what I had that would leave a mark), and carefully place the box where I wanted it to sit. The Loctite make marks on the box where I wanted the holes. Went in the shop and drilled holes where the marks were. After that is was as simple as putting the box in place and feeding the bolts through the holes. I put a large washer and then a nut on each bolt inside the box, held the bolt with an open ended wrench and tightened the nuts in the box. Finished off by coating all bolts with gasket maker just to re-waterproof it.

Testing
The medium sized box, is big enough to store the essentials you want to protect from the elements but not large enough to store many extras. I have had it through lots of mud, dusty trails, and deep water. It has been used through thunderstorms, hot summer days and around 0 degree Celsius temperatures (winter testing is coming soon enough). It has not let in a drop of water or a speck of dust yet. Still opens and closes fine. The latches still grab really well and hold it shut even when they were packed with mud.

Conclusion
For anyone who wants a smaller storage box, I would recommend this one. It has held up good so far and has done exactly what I expect it to do. It probably doesn't matter what brand you get. They probably are all good if you pay for the quality ones. Just pick whatever one is on sale at the time. Its very easy to mount to the composite racks, probably even easier if you have the steel racks.
