Outlander Bulletproofing

My first post here. I bought my first can-am. It’s a G1 2011 Outlander 800r XXC with only 385 miles. So far I have added 26" zillas, full aluminum skids and boot guards, fender extensions and xmr cvt exhaust snorkel. Otherwise it is stock. I’m looking for suggestions on any improvements for reliability/toughness and any weak points I should keep an eye on. I ride 80% trail and 20% mud. Thanks in advance.

Winch question on a 08 sportsman 500 ho

Just got the quad works good except the winch. When I push the button to scroll winch in or out the solenoid just clicks. So I been using a multimeter to help diagnose the issue.When I do a continuity test putting the leads on the red and black screws on the winch It shows I am getting continuity. That should not happen correct? But if I use jumpers and conect directly to the winch it works.

In need of MORE POWER !

….on my first trip to Busco Beach this weekend I got all up in that PEANUTBUTTER mudd , time to winch with my new Terra 35 , then this happens , lights flickering almost cut off , no power , im fairly certain its the battery, had the tender on it a full day n night before we left, was dead when we got there …. couldnt even pull out my buddy in a recon … Soooo , OPINIONS on batteries for a 450kodiak motor ??? Best brand ??? for winching of course ….

I have a part number

I’ve previously owned a Polaris 700 Sportsman and a Polaris 850 SP sportsman. I now have an ACE 570 SP and have sold both Sportsman. Thinking back I believe that I added the additional front storage capability to each of the Sportsman. Today while in the attic I found what I believe is the storage box lid that I must have taken off when I added the additional storage to one of those machines. I hate to just throw it away, and would prefer to pass it along to anyone who can use it, but I’m not sure which machine it fits. Can anyone tell me how to find which machine it goes to?

The part number is 5436865

help putting back together

So I bought this 91 trx250x from a buddy for 100 bucks. He has redone the top end and put the top end, timing chain and clutchcover together, but everything else is still not together. All the cables are not hooked up missing some bolts on cover and no brackets to hold cables. I got all brackets and every bolt on the engine to this motor from ebay and then some. My question is do any of you have pictures or can explain which cable goes where and where do the brackets, cable holders, attach to. I checked timing, is good, but I also dont know if he did valve clearance or not.
