Intro

Hey all just thought I'd introduce myself, been on here a few weeks chasing advice.

I've come off an old 04 honda foreman 450 and must say I'll never look back!

We do mostly winching tracks, big climbs and mud holes.

09 800 Outy

26 x 9 x 12 (6mm spacers)
Raised rad and cvt snorkles in one unit
Warn winch with new synthetic rope
Led light bar
Folded some 3mm ally at work for front cv guards
And that's all so far.

Hello I just recently purchased a 96 300 xplorer 4x4 and was wondering if anyone can tell me where to find any after market rims ?

550 Sportsman with 28” Anclas

Anyone ever run 28 Anclas on their 550 ? I’m currently running 27s on the stock 14” rims without issue. Just wondering before I buy them. Have a smoking deal lined up on a brand new set of 28s.

2018 850 SP A-arm protection

I just purchased a 2018 SP and was looking for some plastic style A-arm protectors, the 850 has the curved A-arms and I am finding some for the XP but not sure if they would fit the SP model, any recommendations ?

Hi from Argentina

Hi, I'm from Argentina and I'm happy to have an Outlander MAX XT 800R.
At the moment I only had to clean the ignition drum because it made a false contact and did not recognize the key.
I hope to learn many more things from you and if I can help in something it would be great!

1st ride on 2019 Renegade 850xxc

Took out the 850xxc yesterday for the first ride.
Initial impressions was that it was super stiff from the factory with the stock settings.
The machine beat me up all day...lol
Tire pressure was about 8lbs, could have gone a little lower though.

The owners manual states:
Front HScomp - 2.25 turns CCW from full stop (3.25 turns total)
LS comp - 2.25
Rear HS comp - 2.25
LS comp - 2.25
Rebound front and rear - 12 clicks CCW from full stop

After the initial ride, I went home checked the shock setting and to try to adjust the SAG or ride height first. I was a little surprised to see that the adjustment collars are about 2.5" from the top shock body. I could not loosen the shock springs anymore the springs would fall out if I did, so I could not adjust the ride height or sag on my machine. Im a 160lbs rider with gear.

Also noticed that Can Am is using a dual rate spring setup on their newer machines. Not sure about the Outlanders but Renegades do have them.

So I guess its just about using the shocks compression adjustments to get it to ride like I want it to.
I adjusted all the compression setting to full soft.
HS - 1 turn from full soft
LS - 1/2 turn from full soft
rebound - 8 turns from full damp, 25 clicks total

I will ride again with these setting and firm up the settings until I get it where I like it.

Cornering the new Renegade is alot different than other Rene or Outty's ive ridden. The newer Renegade corners really flat and level due to the sway bar.
No diving or lean in corners.
Ill report back after I ride it again next week. So far, I love it!
