2015 Scrambler 850 – Gears do not engage / rolls in park
2015 Polaris Scrambler 850 XP
29.5 Terminators
1700mi
In 2x4 mode and got into a watery mud hole but the water level did not get anywhere near the stock snorkels. Had it in LOW and when I went to muscle out of the hole I heard a pop and instantly thought it was a CV axle.. Then I shifted to REVERSE, nothing.. Then I shifted to HIGH, nothing.. Tried AWD, nothing..
As I was pulled out, the rear tires were dragging as if it was locked into park.. rolled the bike back and forth and it disengaged and now rolls. It rolls in every gear, including park.
So far I've pulled the PVT housing cover to take a look at the belt and clutches, they seem fine, belt seems to be in good condition. Started it with the cover off and the primary spins however the secondary acts as though its attached to nothing and just spins as if its in neutral. I have a service manual and I'm leaning towards something is nuked inside the transmission.
I'm not afraid to pull it myself and pop the case to fix it. I'm here to ask of any suggestions from anyone here that has opened a Polaris transmission before as I've never had to do it. Can 3 bond 1215 be used as an alternative to the Polaris Grey Crankcase sealant?
Or, if there is anything else I should be taking a look at prior to digging into the transmission, please let me know!

Tire size on stock beadlocks xxc
Have a 2014 800 renegade xxc. I need a new set of tires and found a deal on the grim reaper tires for $380 using the stock set up of 25x8x12 and 25x10x12.
Should I consider going to a larger size? Mostly trail riding with some mud holes and snow.

2010 850XP – Add Aftermarket Muffler or Not?
Just got a great deal on a 2010 850 XP with low miles.
Have been cleaning, servicing and etc for the last couple weeks.
One problem I have is the muffler. It is rusty and I have debated on taking off, sanding, priming and painting, all with high temp stuff of course.
The other option is to get a new OEM muffler.......around $300 after tax.
Or, get an aftermarket one like HMF or Big Gun or ??? for $250 with the benefits of stainless steel, improved flow, etc.
The problem sounds like it's just not that easy to slip one on and not mess with the fuel system tuning.
Does anyone have any experience with this?

superwinch A3500
Has any one mounted a superwinch A3500 to a 2018 sportsman 570 ? If so does it require a separate mounting plate or will it bolt on directly.

Yup, the newest New B here, for today anyway.
I purchased a 2011 Can Am Outlander Max 400 XT
I will be using it for a few trail rides but mainly for hunting and snow plowing purposes. I'm easy to get along with unless you're not, don't make me give you a :buttkick::D
Looking forward to some Can Am fun!!

’16 Sportsman 850 High Lifter– 4″ portal lift?
I am currently running the stock 2" lift on my 850 High Lifter and am thinking about increasing the lift with portals. It appears GDP offers a nice 4" portal kit, but i noticed that it also comes with 1.4:1 gear reduction (approximately 30%)-- not sure how that will pair up with the already reduced ratio that the High Lifter comes with from the factory... I am looking for any advice on this before I jump into $3000 portal kit.
Differences between 1000 TOURING and XP
Thinking about a 18-19 1000 TOURING instead of a XP 1000
The local dealer doesn't have one I can physically look at.
Will be used 99.9% as a single rider .The main reason Im looking at it is,,,
The touring 1000 has the same lights and storage as the 2015 850
The lights matter because I have the HERETIC Studios LED's and would love to keep them. The storage matters because thats what Im used,and I like the old box's better
Besides a 4" longer wheelbase I see its Around 3 inches longer but what gets me is How is it 8" higher (pretty sure thats what I was reading)and the touring has a 3" seat height difference then a 850 or 1000? Anyone know why? Is it the back seat they are referring to??Does the touring have the upgraded pinion cover? Arched A arms front and back? I read there used to be a storage box for the seat delete but is not sold anymore.Is that true?
Besides the measurements does the touring have all the upgrades the XP has
Any downsides besides tight trails ? Any regrets on getting a touring ?
