New ATV Owner.

Hi
New to the forum riding a 2019 Can am Outlander XTP Max 1000.
Moved to an acreage in the Edmonton Alberta area a while ago and decided that the atv would be more practical around our land than the 2017 Maverick DS side x side we had.
Hopefully able to gain useful information from this forum anyways hi to everyone.

Service Manual – 04/05 Outlander 400

Hello everyone! I am in desperate need of the service manual for my 400.I found 2 loose wires hanging by the engine and can't figure out where they should go. I also want to do some other work. All the manuals online are just redirects - can't actually find a legit link. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!

Looking for new bike

I'm in the market for a new quad(mine blew up)This will be my 10th ,New ,Polaris.
When I started I wanted a 850 SP matt titanium. Same as what I have. But now Im looking at Titanium 850 sp. 1000 copper,1000 touring
They have them but hate what they did to the storage box's (front and back)? The fronts to small(compared to the 2015) And the back trunk is gonna be useless when a bag or box goes on the rack. Has anyone found or made a rear storage bag for these so its not to much of a PITA to get to the trunk?
Whats the deal with those big air scoops they have on the engine mud guards ,under both front fenders(to help cool the engine I assume)?That looks like a great big MUD TRAP and a PITA to clean.Was that on the 16-17's also. Any issues?
They are now using CLEAR coolant??WHY? Is there something better about it? Or are they trying to get people to buy their coolant like the other fluids? Seems it would be a PITA checking level when its dirty.
Is the exhaust on the 18 the same as the 17 ? Any issues?
I found out the touring 1000 has the same lights and the storage I like.
The lights matter because I have the HERETIC Studios LED's and would love to keep them. Besides a 4" longer wheelbase I see its Around 3 inches longer but what gets me is How is it 8" higher (pretty sure that what I was reading)and has a 3" seat height difference then a 850 or 1000? Anyone know why? Does the touring have the upgraded pinion cover?
Any downsides besides tight trails?

Outlander Fuel Line I.D. PART 529036029

I want to go to Grainger and buy the few parts required to make my own "Fuel Pressure check T fitting"
CanAm part # 529-036-029 that CanAm is asking over $50 for when the DIY parts will run about TEN bucks from Grainger.


I havent had the side panels off yet so, does anyone know the fuel line I.D so I can get the right size tee fitting, line and barbs. A Forum SEARCH doesnt show it.

Dry light grinding noise when in P

I am getting a horrid grinding noise. Its not super loud but you can 100% tell something is not right. Sounds like a dry bearing. It dissapears when in L, R or H but as soon as you put it into P it is there.


Is that gearbox or CVT noise? What would you recommmend I check?

Houston new guy

New to 4 wheelers; although I rode a 3 wheeler once & almost died in 1980 something. Anyway, I bought a Can-Am 450 L model after driving my in-laws 570 outlander. Hope to learn some stuff on this forum & give my limited opinions.

Max with front tire.

Hi all.
I just bought a Sportsman 550 EFI and Itring to find front tires for it. The specs call for a 29x8-14. However I'm wondering of a 26x 9 or a 26x 10 would also go on it with out too much trouble. Anyone have an idea?

Will potentially buy a Defender Max XT HD10. Looking for Feedback.

New to forum. I'm looking to possibly purchase a Defender Max XT HD10 or a 2019 Polaris Ranger Crew 1000. I've been trying to do research before buying (because that is what I do). I currently own a '99 Polaris Sportsman 500 atv, and have not had a single issue, but I also take care of my toys and don't beat them up. I know the reputation that Polaris has, but not sure if they have fixed any of those issues with the 2019.

Anyways, I was looking for feedback on the Defender Max XT HD10. What are common failures with the Defenders? The only thing I've found so far is that it is sometimes hard to shift in gears. Not sure if there is a fix for this? Any other problems? Any recommended mods to improve reliability?

Is there a year to stay away from? Did they make changes to certain years to improve upon others? I have been looking at a used 2017 Defender Max XT HD10. Wondered if I should stay away from a 2017 for any reason?

How is it on engine noise and gear train noise? Rattles and squeaks would drive me crazy.

The vehicle will be primarily used for camping with the family and hunting. It won't be used for work.

Thanks for any feedback to a potential buyer......
