New to Can Am

My son and just picked up 2 new 2018 DPS 570's . Love the bikes and love power. We demo'ed a few different atv's and once we got on these we were hooked. Looking forward to many years of fun. I wanted the orange originally and my son wanted the green. They didn't have a green in the DPS model in stock so they sold us a camo for the same price. He fell in love with the orange so I settled for the camo(lol)

tube to nowhere

I was crawling under my machine just checking stuff out and found a little clear tube coming out of the transmission about 3-5 inches away from the front driveshaft, this tube is about 8-10 inches long and is zip tied to a part of the frame under the right foot peg. My question is, what is this for? I'm hoping its not something that will let water in and wreck stuff. 2018 outlander 850 xt

Scrambler brakes

I’ve got a 2015 scrambler 850 and I’m looking to add a brake caliper to the right rear wheel. I know it’s a “straight axle” so it’s not really nessicary but I don’t like feeling the slop I’m the rear diff every time I stab the pedal. Is there any reason I couldn’t use the right rear caliper from a 1000? The are both the same piston diameter and I think I would only need to replace the hoses.

Lock & Ride bags wanted

looking for 2, of the black pocket bags for the Polaris Lock & Ride Box. The Part number for the bags is 2875372-070.
Polaris discontinued the bags, but hoping someone out there has 2 they don't need, or a dealer might still have in inventory.
Bags have Velcro strips that fasten to clips bolted on to the box.

1987 trailboss es/r 250cc 2 stroke stalling out

This Polaris was bought new by my family and has been a reliable machine in all respects. The only so-called major repair was the dealer replaced the drive belt many moons ago. Not bad. It has developed a condition where it gets to part throttle and the motor will not increase in RPM. Similar to a rev limiter in a car, but no backfiring at all. Checked the compression and it was 60 psi. been reading opinions that say it shouldn't be running on other groups. Well it did run and pull hills. All the same I chose to tear it down and install a Namura piston with rings and followed Namura's instructions. The standard bore was in good shape and only required some honing to clean it up and break the glaze. Put it all back together and rode it all over our 45 acre ranch to seat the rings. Anyway compression is increasing little by little daily and it is up to 105 psi. Rings are still bedding in I am not concerned about that. No clue what the target compression is. Clymer manual is worthless on so many levels and no mention of the float level setting either.:fuercht: I have the level tangs set at parallel with the gasket surface. Bottom line the motor has gobs of power until it gets to 1/4 throttle movement then stalls out like a rev limiter. So out of curiosity jacked the float level all over the place trying to see if any improvement. Nope not really. Replaced the spark plug several times-but not fouled at all. Decided to put another ignition module on it. No change in behavior. Changed the coil-no change. Ohmed the exciter coil thinking that must be the culprit-nope all in spec. I have pulled out most of what little hair I have, on this beast. Has to be some owner on here that has dealt with this before-at least I hope or get steered in a direction I have not taken. One more thing, the slider in the factory Mikuni has full up and down travel and is not sticking at all. I have gone through that rather simple carb many times over with cleaner and a rubber tipped air nozzle=all passages are open and very clean. Well one more thing the fuel line is wide open and plenty of fuel will whiz out the carb end when taken off. It does have an inline filter that is open as well. Any and all ideas are welcome even if you think you have an off the wall idea-sometimes they work.:smile

Thanks,
