Hi
I have a 2007 Grizzly 350 2X4. at my age that’s all I need. I like hunting and yard work. Its been a great ride for me until yesterday. I turned the key and smoke came out from under the plastic around the gas tank and by the front. ground wire in wire harness burnt. from the frame connection to the front ground connection . and to other areas of the harness. I am looking at replacing the complete wire harness. I was connecting may lawn sprayer clamps to the battery then put the seat down and turned the key pushed the start button and smoke. not sure what happened may be clamps grounded out when I connected to the battery? If I change the wire harness I just want to be sure when I turn the key it does not happen again. Could something else have caused this to happen HELP.

Low end knocking type noise?…

Went on my First ride on my 2 used quads this weekend. ’09 550, 800 miles on it and ’07 700 1700 miles. Idling pretty quiet, rev them up in park (not bouncing them off the limiter, just goose the throttle) you can hear a distinct singular (klock) noise, kinda like a a loud spark knock. (using 93 octane gas). Put them in gear and start to accelerate and what I can best describe as a low end rod knock type noise. Is this normal?!! I cant tell if its in the clutch area or the motor… I,m kinda lost here. I’m a mechanic by trade and i thought maybe one bike but both of them do it, but idle them and they are quiet, no knocking noise??? and im thinking it was getting worse by the end of our outing. (may just be me being a worry wart). I plan on going to a trail meet this weekend and don’t want to have a catastrophic failure 10 miles out into the woods. I can deal with having to put motors in them, i just don’t want to blow holes in the short blocks and make them unrepairable. Please let me know if this is normal, i haven’t been around or rode any other bike to know if it is or not. No Performance issues, they both s#$t and git just fine otherwise.

2011 XT 400 – Grinding Noise w/Braking

Purchased a 2011 Outlander XT last fall for my wife. Only had 172 miles on it. Rode it a little last fall and some over the winter with no issues. This weekend the wife stopped me while riding and said there was a grind noise when stopping and was worse going down a hill. Noise is duplicated even on flat road and braking. Sounds like a loose or worn u-joint of drive chain type noise in center of atv. Pulled cover and checked what I could on clutches. Rear shaft seems ok. Ran on stand and does not do it which is puzzling. Wondering if anyone else has run into something similar?? New to Can Am’s so not sure of all the qwirks yet…

Hi or Lo

I drive a outlander 850XT. This may seem like a strange question, I’m not use to a belt driven bike having always rode a manual. When using Hi and Lo not sure when to and not to? how fast can you go in Lo? The only time I put my last bike in lo was when I plowed the driveway, so sort of still learning LOL.
