Been reading up on mods both clutch and engine.
I’m looking for opinions since Im new to the quadding life 🙂
I have worked on sleds for 20 plus years so I’m some what handy.
So the first on my list is clutch sheave cut or shim ?
Second, tires. I was thinking 27" maybe 28" mud tires like Zillas or MudBug.
Then exhaust and a programmer.
Also when is it a good idea to install slugs into the wet clutch ?
I ride some mud and trails.
I posted this on another site but I dont think they like mods :shocked:
Hey guys, so I was out for a ride a the other night an i wasn’t doing anything abnormal well for me.. I was just going down back roads and such doing about anywhere from 60-90 kmh and as I turned a corner on the home stretch I hit some wash board on the road as I turned a corner and it really shook the atv. at this point I was doing maybe 20kmh. And all of a sudden it felt like an engine brake kicked in and it slowed right down and was feeling really weird BTW I don’t have ADC, I removed it during the winter, I got off and looked all over, checked axles, diffs, drive shafts everything. I thought maybe the belt? But I revved it up and the engine was running normal. I limped it home at about 10kmh because I was less than half a km from my house and started checking it again driving in circles and then it felt weird in the rear end got off and here my right rear tire was crazy loose, it was the upper a-arm bolts wiggled like crazy and the lower ones were very loose too on both sides.
I took it all apart today and from what I can tell I think those plastic bushings need to be replaced which isn’t that big of a deal but do you think that it slowing down like that really fast on me is something else?
BTW I took the belt housing off and it’s mint in there, I was actually surprised haha.
Hey guys I know the ehs controller is the preferred fuel controller on here I have heard people say if you want any real gains get barkers and ehs controller. I have no interest in the barkers cause of the noise they make ( my state already is not very atv friendly riding areas are limited)so it looks like my only option is hmf for a exaust that isn’t crazy loud my question is if i order a Titan exhaust and order the hmf controller would there be a actually gain I can feel. I know it’s not the preferred set up but I don’t want the noise of barkers and I’m thinking of going with hmf for the tuner also just for ease of ordering a tuning. I am not expecting huge gains but hmf claims several horse power even if that’s exagerated I don’t see how it is not a noticeable gain.
I just picked up all the parts to install the skid plates on my 2015 Max XT 800. Wondering if there is anyone out there who had any installation tips to make the job easier. Thanks
My names Chris, I’m from Langley BC Canada, I’ve been riding Can-Am’s for many years. I just upgraded and purchased a 2016 Renegade 1000 X Xc Camo Manta green. Best machine iver ever been on. Looking forward to talking to all the Can-Am riders.
Originally purchased in Edgewood, NM to transport an ATV (rarely), traded back into Sandia Trailer Sales where I purchased it in 11/2015. It was then used to transport a small hot air balloon (<800lbs). I’ve put less than 3000 miles on the trailer, tires are still in great shape.
-Weighs about 350lbs, my 2.5L naturally aspirated Subaru pulled this very easily.
-2000lb capacity
-Fold down ramp gate can be removed or laid onto bed
-LED lighting
-4 pin connector
-2” Ball
-54”x96” bed
-Swivel jack and chains
So, June will soon be upon us and I was reaching out to see who is interested in a ride for June. Since Indiana and Wisconsin have been the ride of choice for the last 2 rides, how about Illinois? It would probably be just a one day ride, depending on where we decide to ride. ATV parks are far and few between and even more scarce is the ability to camp out at them. So, I have a few parks in mind. Also, how about some dates that we can agree on for those who are interested. I was leaning towards the 11th of June with the 4th being another option. So, here are some options, feel free to chime in, add-on, whatever. Just trying to get a feel for what we can do.
I have an 2015 Outlander L 450 and I want to make it wider. The stock wheels seem really skinny and unstable when riding off camber trails. This thing is pretty easy to roll compared to my other quad with 27/12/12 tires.
I have heard wheel spacers are effective but pretty unsafe. I would get new rims and tires but I’m not sure what a good offset would be.
What would be the best way to make my machine more stable?
I have the 2008 400 HO and a deltran battery tender jr. I am all ready to set it up but was wondering, instead of going in and doing surgery to attach to battery (well hidden and not easy to get to on this model), can i just attach my permanent 0- clips to the charging harness in the storage box and just leave them on with the quick disconnect pig tail? or do i have to connect directly to the battery? Any help is greatly appreciated.
