Could one of you guys tell me if my front end looks off? I think my right side (left side in pic) looks quite tilted. I looked under and cant see anything that looks bent. Has me a bit worried. Thanks.

Opinions/review of 2016 570 XT?
Not talking about the L version here…but the regular outlander 570 XT. Dealer has a demo unit for sale that he used to plow snow over the winter. Has 13 hours and 34 miles on it. Stumbled on it yesterday. Manager was out so they are going to call me with a price on Tuesday.
Just wondering how you think it might do the Black hills running at 4-6000 ft of elevation and in that kind of environment. Any other thoughts on reliability, etc appreciated. Never had a can am before, so wondering how it will do with the heat/load of running up/down the hills in the summer. I was out there this weekend and my KQ fuel pump failed and left me stranded due to high temps (90F) and having to run in low gear 4wd for extended periods of time.
Thanks for any thoughts.
xxc 1000 vs xmr 1000
Hey everyone I’m new to this site.
So get right down to my question I got the cash I’m ready to buy but I’m questioning now on what it is I want I’m sure this question gets beat to death but I haven’t seen the answer I want yet. 2016 XMR or xxc 1000. Ride more trails that I do deep mud however I would absolutely end up putting 30 inch tires snorkel kit and winch on the xxc if I went that route. so my question is take the big tires off the XMR and how well do they do on the trails. I know the XMR have the better diff, and has the extra low range gear but like I said I want to know take the big tires off of the XMR how does it do on the trails. I also noticed that the suspension on some sites says they’re the exact same other sites say Q S3 after the Fox Podium for the XMR and some sites say RC to after the Fox Podium on the xxc so what’s the difference

Xmr or xt-1000?
Hey everyone, I’m doing some reading on which bike I’m going to be getting. I was at the dealership yesterday to look at the renegade xmr. They had one in blue which I like very much. They also have a 2015 xt-1000 on sale as its a model year old. My brother who has a built xt-800 that’s set up for mud. I’m planning on joining him on rally’s so the quad would be getting setup for mud as well. My brother suggests getting the xt and building it the way I want. But I like the renegade because it’s pretty much ready to go outta the crate. So my question to you people is, which route would you go? Buy a renegade xmr or buy the 2015 xt-1000 and build it. I figure at the end of the day I’ll basically be in it for the same dollar amount which ever way I go. Thanks!
Chainsaw,, Front or rear ???
For you guys that carry a chainsaw on the trail with you, Do you feel better having it mounted on the front or the rear of the ATV?

Ricochet Skid Plates
Installed Ricochet skid plates and A-arm guards on my 2016 Outlander 650 XT. After riding at Hatfield-McCoy last month, the stock plastic skid plate really took a beating, especially at The Rock House. Overall, they look good, and I’m sure will work well. They were a pain to install, mostly because I was by myself, and couldn’t stand the machine up on the grab bar. I used car ramps instead. I also found that if you’re not careful, it can be real easy to strip the mounting bolts.

Rear End Movement…
Ok so I was rocking the bike back and forth and felt movement through the foot pegs. I am pretty sure one of my front wheel bearings needs to be done, but I am kind of concerned about the rear end. I had my wife grab the handlebars and rock the bike side to side, when she did this, the axle was moving kind of up and down to the rear housing (see circled spot in pic), it was definitely a bit wiggly. What is the problem (can’t be normal for any movement I would think) and what do I need to do to fix it?
As always, any help is greatly appreciated.
