Scrambler 850 Tires/Rims

Hello. I have a Scrambler 850 with stock tires and stock rims. I’ve had the ATV for about 2 months and I’m not a fan of the stock tires, so to save money, would 27X9-12 tires fit in the front and 27X10-12 fit in the rear? (It might seem like a dumb question to some people, but this is my first quad and I don’t know much about tires, rims etc…)

rockwell torshion axle

here is some tricks u can do with the Rockwell torshion axle.
to get the wheels at 4 ft wide for my just built quad trailer I had to cut 2 in
of each end of these axles. I then made the inner shaft shorter and cut the rubber buffers a bit shorter yet. I then welded the 2 together with SHORT
KERNEL CORN SIZE welds and u notice that the stickers that are 1/2 inch away
are not burned. i would not hesitate to add a piece of square tubing between
these torshion axles for ease of mounting.

AT589M+S tires for 500$ for a set?

Okay so I’ve heard people say that the 589 tires were pretty awesome are the tires I listed above the ones you all were ranting a raving about?
I found a set of 27x9x12 and 27x11x12 set of these for 500 with a set of ITP rims. But the only issue is the rims are for a Kawasaki quad so I’m almost 100% certain the bolt pattern will not match!
My question is should I pull the trigger on these tires Unmount them from the old rims and put them on my new ITP ss316’s then try to sell the aftermarket Kawasaki rims as they are ITPs as well?
The tires look almost brand new they have over whatever a quarter’s height would be in tread left looks like the never really got used!

2016 Highlifter 850 Axle Replacement

So I’ve been browsing around for a replacement axle that isn’t the HTE outlaw (240$) from highlifter website
But no one seems to have in the details of the axle that it specifically fits the "2016 highlifter 850".
Can anyone verify what other sportsman axles will fit our bikes?
Thanks,

Clicking in left rear

It’s a 2013 grizzly 700 with only a 120 miles on it.Clicking in left rear so it sounds anyway!
Only makes the sound at slow speeds while turning and I can feel it in my left foot. I have replaced the left bearing and complete CV axle. Also drained the diff oil and it was perfect (no metallic)!
Any help would be appreciated!

Rival skid plates?

Does anyone have any experience with rival skid plates for the grizzly?

Looking to add full skid plate package to my 2014 700. Lots of info about the ricochet plates here, just looking for some other options.

Best price I can find for the ricochet plates up here is $655 before tax and shipping. The rivals can be had for $519.

Sustained high RPMs

Hey guys got another question for y’all.
I’m about to get an outlander 800 and I’ve been doing some research and part of that leads me to a lot of videos of people muddling. In these videos these people (what sounds like) are at full throttle for sustained periods of time to get through a mud hole or whatever. Are these four wheelers designed for this? Or do they just not care? I come from a motocross back ground and you don’t normally hit the rev limiter for any period of time. So when I see it I cringe and expect for the four wheeler to just blow up. What do you guys think?
