2016 Renegade xxc1000 Steering Issue

I’m wondering if anyone else has had an issue even remotely similar. We have a brand spankin new Renegade with just over 6 hours on it. It has been sitting at 2 dealerships over past 2 months because we had an issue where the steering caught and hung up while riding. Now this caused the atv to flip. What we found was that a bolt WAY down inside had come loose, and on it’s way out had apparently jammed the steering. There are marks on the bolt itself and on the surrounding bracket that shows where it was moving around before it came out.

Now we have an $11,000 repair estimate on a machine we spent about $12,000 or a bit more on that BRP says is not a warranty issue and pretty much told us we’re screwed. I can only get customer service reps on the phone at BRP who won’t do anything for us. Our dealer has done just about all they can. Does anyone know of a further step…This was not rider error, BRP should try to do something for us I think.

Rear brake pads WTF 570xmr

I understand riding in muddy conditions will wear out components especially brake pads.. But seeing as how i ride mainly deep water not mud and i have 81 miles i repeat 81 miles on my new machine i feel that the rear pads being metal on metal already is a bit ridiculous. Anybody else have a problem with this ? my gncc trx450r will go months and months if not a whole season on one set of pads and i uauslly race in nastier conditions then i ride this xmr so what gives ? Also sense ive owned the bike if riding at a decent speed on mild to rough trails i have a clunk in the rear half of the bike. ive tryed to watch and shake it jump on it ect to find it to no avail. any thoughts ?

Brake caliper rubbing rim

Hi. I have a 2013 Outlander 800XT. Does anyone know why the brake caliper would rub the inside of the rim. The wheel bearing doesn’t seem to have any play and the brake caliper is tight. The only thing I see with a little play is one of the bushings on the lower A-arm. I never heard or felt anything that would indicate I had a problem but now I have a nice pretty hole in my rim.

91 250 Trail Boss ignition issue

Alright so I am stumped. Got back from 9 month "vacation" and went out to the garage to start the Wheeler. as expected the battery was dead and needed charged but it started with the pull string. It ran for about a minute then cut off. So I charged the battery up nicely and reinstalled it. tried to start it and it would not fire up. After all trouble shooting I know to do figured out that I have no Spark now. getting fuel, air, but no spark now. Has anyone dealt with this type of problem before and do you know the solution.

first atv 1990 trail boss 250 2×4

wow! i was on facebook looking at a atv rally in minnesota. one of the guys told me to check out this forum. YALL GOT A TRAIL BOSS FORUM! totally blown away!

ive had my trail boss for a year now. its been fun messing around with. just rebuilt the carb on it. but i have a problem now i dont know what to do with. the "rear" break on the transmission isnt working at all. my friend and i took it apart and its not getting brake fluid at all. we bled the front brakes and those work perfectly. im kind of at a lost on what to do.

where can i get parts? whats a rear/transmission brake cost?
what kind of brake lines does this thing need?

did a little paint job on it. its just rhyno bed liner. hell of a lot better then the faded gray and red it use to be.

2002 Sportsman 500 HO, starts then dies

So my Sportsman was running great, then I parked it where I stopped to get off to talk to someone. It started right up but then died. Now when I try to start it, it did back fire 2 different times, and also will just barely fire. If it sits for a little while it will start and run for about 15 seconds then die and won’t start for a while.

When I checked spark it was wonky so I put a new plug in it.

Mounting light bar on xmr

I have a 2016 renegade xmr and I’m curious how people are mounting light bars on them. I have a gorilla axle 14" light bar and was planning on mounting it on a rad relocate but won’t be buying that this year. Has anyone bought brackets to mount them?
