I need some expert advice on the best way to tie down my Outlander Max to my trailer. I have had several instances when arriving at the trail head, I find my ratchet straps loose and sometimes even unhooked. I am hooking to the front "winch mount" sheet metal area and the rear receiver mount bolted to the rear drive. I'm not hooking to suspension arms or axles. I think my problem is due to the soft, long travel suspension collapsing while bumping over rough Colorado forest service roads. I can see the machine bouncing in the rear view mirror.


I often tie my machine "east west" on the front of my trailer and my buddy ties his down "north south" behind it. Because I'm sideways on the trailer, my ratchet straps are short from Can Am to the trailer frame.

I just bet you experienced trail riders have developed a good and safe way to tie the Outlander down so it won't bounce off your trailer. I hope you can share your methods.

Hey,

New here, been a lurker off and on for awhile.

My machines:
95' Xplorer #1(Had this one for awhile, really like it.)
95' Xplorer #2(bought yesterday. Runs like a champ, looks pretty bad. Working on getting it fixed up well enough to serve plow duties)


Several older Rokons.

I've been looking for a descent video on how to remove the front fender body panel. It looks like to me the head light assembly needs to be disassembled in order to take this of, is that correct? Can anyone provide me a link to a video I can watch and learn from?

Thanks

Hey guys, just ordered a PCV for my 2016 outlander 850 xmr, this is my first time installing a tuner so just wondering where the best spot to mount it on the quad is (I go through a fair amount of deep water and mud). And also I see that they have a premade map for the quad with a stock air filter and yoshimura slip-on exhaust (which I have), will it just be a matter of putting that map onto the PCV and installing it on the quad, or is there anything else I’ll need to do?

Well, I finally decided to go with the 19’ 850xxc, got a great deal on it.
Haven’t ridden it yet just around the block and I must say, this bike is a beast! Can’t imagine what the 1k feels like.
So I was reading the owners manual, and it says the factory suspension settings are as follows:
Front HS comp- 2.25 turns ccw from full
LS comp- 2.25 turns ccw from full
Rebound- 12 clicks ccw from full

Rear is the same. Do these settings seem ok to start from?
What are your stats ie: rider weight, sag, shock settings, and type of terrain you mostly ride.

Hey guys. Im new to this forum but not to brp. Had a renegade before.

I do have a few questions/ issues with this one. My first and biggest question is with the fox qs3. Ive tried searches but didnt really get anywhere. Im 280lbs no gear. While i find it rides great with just me on it, it sags quite a bit with a passenger on. I tried turning the preload to max, nothing. Tried adjusting the compression. I mostly leave it on 2 but when its on 3 it is a rather stiff ride even with a passenger. Do they make stiffer springs for these shocks? I can get springs for the rc2, but will they fit the qs3? Is revalving the rear shocks a good option or do all 4 need to be done? Btw, the front shocks are perfect to me. Not sure what my best option is...

Secondly, my 10hr break in is up. Ill be changing all the oils. Im in quebec. Ive read that people use 5w40 rotella(which i have on hand) to amsoil 0w/40. I have some ipone 0w40 snowmobile oil here that i use in the sled. Meets api sn according to their website. Would there be any issues in running this oil?

Thanks in advance!

So the xt hand/wind guards bothered me something fierce! Got the XMR style... what PITA to put on!!!

My fox podiums will be here next week, springs will be powder coatedAttachment 83460Attachment 83462 red. That will hopefully tie it all in nicely. I didn’t have my red halos on, but I imagine that helps.
