Incline of hills on 800 Max

I’m VERY new to driving atvs and I just purchased 2015 800 MAX this last March. I ride a lone all the time and I am just wondering how much of an incline the max can handle. I have come across a few hills that I haven’t had the balls to do yet. I honestly think I would make it up no problem I just don’t know how steep is TOO steep.

I used my phone today to estimate the incline with an app and one of the hills looks to be about 30 degrees, but it is a long climb. I know it’s tough to estimate something like this because it depends on driver skill level and terrain. The terrain is mostly packed dirt with a few roots to climb over. I’ve attached some pics for reference but it’s hard to really see the incline.

About how much of an incline can a max handle safely?

Hi All

Hi all, new to the forum, just bought a 2016 Grizz EPS today and will pick it up in 2 weeks cant wait!!! I have an 07 Grizz with EPS, what a solid machine. I was thinking of a Can-Am but kept referring back to my 07’s reliability and durability, it wasn’t a hard choice to make. Take care

2012 Sportsman 500 H.O no start

My farmer neighbor brought it over and asked if I would look at it. Me, thinking it was most likely a carb issue cuz this quad sits from around nov to now, as it’s only used on the farm. I sprayed some ether into the carb and nothing. Pulled the spark plug and it’s got no spark. I checked the fuses,It was in N, the parking brake was on and it was in the RUN position. So where do I go from here? I looked at some ignition parts, and holy hell some of the chit is $$$!!! I can’t just start replacing parts until I get the right one. In the meantime, a thought that came to me last night was that maybe a rat, squirrel or a mouse got up into the body and chewed a wire or 2. Maybe? :hump:
