Thinking about getting an exhaust for my 1000

Went riding this weekend clicked mile 1700 on the 1000. I don’t have any glowing muffler or melting plastic but holy smokes it does get hot after I run it up and down the trails at high speeds. Thinking about getting a new exhaust but don’t want to spend the extra money if it’s not really necessary… I would love to hear from guys who have installed a new exhaust and how much of a difference they can tell since installing it.

Maier Plastics for ’86 TRX200SX?

Hi everybody,

I’ve been looking at the Maier plastics to replace mine…

Have any of you done this? And by any chance do you have photos you’d like to share? I’m really, really on the fence about what color to go with, I can get either red or white.

I’m also curious about how well these products bolt up…etc.

Thanks for anything you can share!

07 Grizz 700 Shim Mod Went Wrong ??

I have a stock 07 700 that I just put some MSA 14s with mud lite XTR 27s. I’m not a hardcore mudder or anything but I use the quad for hunting and work and so I wanted to give my low end some help turning the larger tires. After a couple nights of research I decided to do the 1.5MM shim mod and the EPI purple spring. My buddy did the 1.5MM shim and purple on his 660 earlier this week and I was extremely dissapointed how much top end he lost so I decided to go with just the purple spring and .5MM shim. So I did the mod (not my first ) and I thought it all went smooth. Fired grizz up and took for a rip and something is definitely not right. I have to hammer the gas to get the thing going. Once I get going about 10 or 15 mph it seems fine but it literally feels like a manual shift quad that’s stuck in 5th gear. I have ZERO bottom end. She tops out at 55mph and seems fine from 15 to 55. My low gear now feels like a high gear to be honest. That shouldn’t be lIke that. Something is clearly not right. Any ideas? I did use an impact to take clutch apart. Could something of got moved around in primary while doing the mod? Rollers? Weight ? I am about to just go back to stock and see if that fixes the issue but I still want the low end help with turning my 27s. Any help or advice is appreciated !

2012 sportsman 550 Xp throttle cuts out

My 2012 sportsman xp is being stupid. When ridding throttle will die out like it is sputtering and running out of gas. When this happens I get a 520193-7 code. The 520193 in the manual show iac but has no option for the 7. I will also be getting a 168-3 and a 168-4 which are system power low voltage and high voltage codes. Different times running it I will get one, two or all three of the codes at random, but always some sort of combination of the three. I have already replace the battery because if the voltage codes with no difference made.
Does anyone know what the 7 is behind the 520193? My other thought is voltage regulator because of getting a high and low voltage code at same time, should I replace that? Could that be causing the iac issues and making it die out?
Thanks!

Front steering stem

My brother in law flipped my brand new outlander max xt 1000 on its side today. Left front tire was flat in a matter of a couple of hours. All sorts of play going on in the front handlebars. Bike pulls severely to the left. Any idea what damage might be done. Taking it to dealer on Saturday.
