I Have a 2012 outlander 1000. It is the base model, I am looking at adding power steering and would like to hear and would like to know if their is any brands that I should steer clear of. Does the after market stuff work as well as the factory?
Looking for help in inspecting the belt and front outer cv joint on my 2011 500 ho.
The belt appears to be original and has 3000 miles with oversized tires. There was no noise or loss in power. It measures 1 1/16" wide. Should it be changed?
The cv joint was making noise when you turn sharply. The boot was fine but it didn’t have enough grease. It turns freely and doesn’t appear to be broken or loose. Can it be liberally greased and reused?
I can’t get my buck 650 to idle well. I replaced the fuel pump thinking its sucking fuel through the vaccum line. I have also cleaned the carburetor thoroughly. However, when I remove the vaccum line from the fuel pump and let it suck more air through the opening, it idles just fine. Seem like its running rich at idle? I have tried the idle screw with no luck as well. What would I be trying? Thanks!
I’m not as paranoid of this as some people are but was wondering if anyone has thought of this. Their has been talk going on for years about what would happen if this country was hit with an emp attack. We have our atvs and some here have carbs and some have fuel injection like me. What could the people here do their fuel injected atvs to prevent them from being effected. Just a thought that crossed my mind and wondered if anyone else had ever wondered about it.
Hi everyone. I have a 2012 sportsman 500 and the hot check engine has been flashing. This very fast after starting even when the engine is cold. While riding it will come on and off multiple times and then it stops. When I unplug the temperature sensor the fan does not come on but the fan has came on recently while idling for a period of time. Any help is appreciated!
Can the thermostat housing be drilled and taped for a temp sensor like the older models? Haven’t had much time to look. I would like to install another water temp gauge kit like available on quadovator.com that I had on my old 2004 700 twin.
Not really a new member but haven’t been here in over a year. Just inherited a 2011 850 xp from my step father who passed. It has 256 hours on it and is in pretty good shape. Don’t think he used it much. Anyway it has the oil in the airbox issue and I found on e bay a kit P/N 2204755 for $68 + shipping. Anyone know if this will actually fix the problem? Going to also change all the fluids since I don’t know if it’s ever been done. Can’t wait to get it in the mountains!!
Hi, I’m looking to get brighter bulbs for my 04 predator 500 and was wondering what my options are. Can anyone recommend any kits or specific bulbs that would be brighter than stock? Thanks 🙂
i have been reading the skid plate discussion and wanted to do some research. seems like the can-am skidplate thickness is 3/16 and 1/8 on spots.
i don’t know where the 1/8 thickness is on the plates but that’s not much to go on. probably with the stamping process there is a variation in thickness.
this is just what im reading but i know my ricochet skidplates are beast and they will last the life of the machine.
just like i thought…ricochet are number one!!!:th_smiliethumbsup: imo
