Converted Virgin

Hi Guys/Gals I just purchased a rebated 2018 intense red outlander xt 1000r the last one.Well I should say I put a deposit down holding the last one they have.I went into can am thinking I would get a 850 and found out there all gone.The rebates sold these units fast.I have a week to decide if I take it or not and after watching some videos on you tube and research online I’m thinking I’m happy they sold out of 850’s.Now my background is not new to atvs but new to can ams.I owned Yamaha’s 4 of them to be exact and although nice machines and all they don’t have the fun factor I was looking for.I love to rip but mostly just a trail rider I hate mud or water.My question is should I opt for the 2 year warranty or is it not needed.I don’t know much about can ams yet.How reliable are they? I’m not one to “abuse my machine” I get my thrills from going sideways and ripping up a nice trail.I would go slow over obstacles and I’m very good at keeping my things maintained and clean.Thanks for letting me in and I look forward in learning and getting to know you alls.

Maverick Trail Wheel/Tire Offset

Need a little help from some wheel/tire experts. We're pulling the trigger in the Spring for a Trail 1000 and what I'm looking to do is get something in the 53"-54" range with a set of offset rims. I could go with a Sport but my local trails can get extremely tight in some places even though they are rated at 60". I've picked out the tires (Tusk Terrabite) in a size 28x10x14 at all four corners. But I can't wrap my head around what offset I would need for the rims. 14x7 with a 5+2 seems to yield the most options but will that get me want to be? Found a guy that did that and it put him a little under the 53" mark. So maybe a 14x7 with a 4+3 would do it? I appreciate any help.

Broke right cv axle

Im new to can am and have tried to search the forum to find answers to my problem without and luck. I have just bought a 07 800 outlander. It had a bad right rear cv axle so i got new ones and installed them. After about 30 miles or so the right one pulled apart and broke again. Only thing i can figure is the trailing arm is going down too far when suspension is maxed out and braking the clip that holds it together. I noticed when the bike os off the ground and level the shock on that side has to be compressed to lign up but left side is perfect. Its like the cv joint is maxed out before the shock is. Any help will be appreciated.
