HELP 400ex backfiring, won’t idle
Front rack cargo/speaker box build
Built from 1/2 and 3/4 sanded plywood.
2 infinity reference 5.25 coax (free… Will replace when they fail from mud and water)
Boss 200w 2ch amp
Coated in rustoleum bed liner inside and out( wasn’t impressed at all)
First off, I knew I wanted some tunes and some storage. Never really liked the pvc tubes, and couldnt find a front box i liked and would allow me to mount speakers where I wanted.
So I build one. It’s only 4" tall on the inside, I had to make it short so it would block all the light from my rigid d2 between my handlebars. Still gives me room for some straps, shackles, and tie downs. And holds the speakers and amp.
It gets surprisingly loud. I’m using a boss bluetooth remote on the handlebars. Works great, keep my phone in my pocket and control it from the handlebar. Running WOT and radio turned all the way up I can hardly hear any wind or engine noise, just good tunes!

650 to 800 – Tune or new ECU?
This summer I finally purchased the ATV I’ve always wanted: a 2011 Outlander Max 650 XT.
I was in the market for an 800 XT (non-max), but this one came up at auction for a price I couldn’t turn down. Being a former provincial vehicle it didn’t see any off-road abuse, or much use at all really. Part of what drew me in was the 2700 KM on the ODO. What I didn’t realize until I brought it home was all the idling it saw.
Now at 3300 KMs, it burns enough oil to notice a drop between oil changes, and has a small tick I’m suspecting is a work timing chain guide. Not a big deal, I have lots of time before the start of the season to tear everything down, and it was cheap enough I don’t mind putting a little money in. That’s not why I’m bothering you fine people today.
I found a complete top end off a 1000 for sale locally, and the seller is willing to part with the low milage pistons and cylinders for a good price. After some research I’m finding that these pistons and cylinders would convert my motor to basically a stock 800. Since I’m tearing things down anyway, I figure I might as well upgrade. The only problem is providing additional fuel.
I’m looking for stock 800 numbers/tuning, but I’m having trouble finding a tuner that will convert my ECU to basically a stock 800 ECU, and used ECU prices seem ridiculous.
Are there any tuners that could do this, or would my best bet be to hold out for a good deal on a used ECU?
Thanks!

I shopped around a bit but just kept coming back to Polaris as I felt they offered the most features for the money, and I really liked the looks of them.
I’ve only got two short days of riding in, and it was really sloppy mud, but I’m pretty happy so far. My only real complaints are the stock tires, which don’t seem to do too well on muddy hill descents with the engine breaking and they didn’t clean out very well… but I knew I was going to upgrade those soon anyways. (Probably Bearclaw HTR’s).
My second complaint is the hard shifting, which seems to be somewhat of a common issue. The first day I had it out, it was a bear. Today, after some riding, it seemed to have improved a good bit. I figure I’ll try to ride it a bit and if doesn’t get any better, I’ll take it in and see if they need to put the shims in it maybe. If it continues to improve, I’ll hope it’s just from being new… I dunno. Time will tell.
I think my future plans are new tires, build a box for the back rack, and adding a winch. I really like that KFI stealth 3500 with synthetic… but will try to find some reviews on those first.
Anyways, happy to be here!
Need help.
05 replace inboard boot
1) There is something called a snap ring (42206-HA7-671) that goes on the end of the shaft that is inserted into the differential. What happens to this snap ring when I pull the axle out? Does it fly across the room? I can’t seem to find it.
2) To separate the inboard joint, I need to remove something called a stopper ring (42206-HM7-003). How do I do that? Do I need a special tool? Maybe a dental pick??
Thanks in advance. I’ll have more questions as I make more progress.
