Slipped timing gear on 850 XP

A friend of mine brought me his 2010 sportsman 850 XP with running issues. With the help of this site and a tear down I believe the problem to be a slipped gear. I pulled the motor out today and split it. There is an arrow on the gear but no mark on the crank. Is the mark on the gear suppose to line up with the bottom of the rod journal closest to the gear? This one does not. Its a couple teeth away from that spot. Does anyone have a good pic of how it is suppose to look?

2013 Outlander – Recommendations!

This past weekend, out riding around and of course snapped Front Drive Shaft halfway through the day. Couple hours later realized I did more damage and had bent the Tie rod.

Looking to upgrade both parts ( Both TR of course) Just looking for some information and personal preference on them. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks Luke

fire extinguisher and starting fluid

I finally found the fire extinguisher for my quad on sale at Canadian tire.
1 lb size. the front box lid keeps it tight. I also made a holder for my can of staring fluid. that’s for popping the tire bead back on. now to figure out where
to put my wok for trail cooking.

TRX400X Rear Brake Light Plug

Hi Guys. I’ve decided to have my subframe modified to accept a trx450r grab bar and, will be sending it off tomorrow. The bracket to my tail light will be cut off in the process so I’ll need to remount the tail light in another location. I know several of the guys running the 450r’s have relocated their light under the center of the rear fender. The problem I’m running into is the 450r tail light has bolts as where my light has plastic arms that pop into a rubber grommet. They were able to adapt an L shaped bracket attaching it to the light and then under the bottom of the fender. My question is does anyone know if the plug/harness that plugs into the 400x tail light is the same as the plug that goes into the 450r light? I know the shape of the light itself is different but, would it be plug and play as far as the harness/adapter/plug is concerned? Thanks for all responses.

engine plastic removal on drivers side

trying to remove the side engine plastic on the drivers side. If im correct i need to first remove the plastic under the drivers seat. I have removed all of the plastic plugs around the perimeter and side rocker panel but there is one bolt and nut in the corner near where the left side of the seat would be one the floor. I can just barely see the nut can not for the life of me figure how to get a socker/wrench/ pliers or whatever on the nut to take out this on bolt. Any help is appreciated.
