Speedometer HELP!!!

Hello all. I am new to this forum and hoping to find some help. I have a 2000 EXPEDITION 425 and I need to replace the speedometer. My question is, can I utilize a speedometer from a 2000 SPORTSMAN to replace my damaged one? The part numbers are different but the plug configuration is the same.
Thanks for any advice.

Message: “MAINTENANCE REQUIRED”

So what exactly triggers the "MAINTENANCE REQUIRED" message to scroll across the instrument panel? There are no other indicator lights on. The manual simply says that it’s time for periodic maintenance, and the message can only be cleared by an authorized can-am technician. But the thing is, there are only 65 hours on the machine, so what causes this message? Thanks!

It’s a 2015 Outlander 800r

Spark Plug Firing Issue

I just bought a 2000 Recon 250 not running. I’m only getting a spark for just a few seconds when I lay the plug on the cyclinder and turn over the motor. The longest that I have been able to get the engine to run is about 5 seconds then it will die. I’m getting 12.90 volts from the battery and around 11.50 while turning over the motor when trying to start itThe previous owner but on a new CDI box, coil, carburetor and decided to sell it because he couldn’t get it to run.

First Oil Change ?

Ok I know this may be a dumb question but what is the thought when I should get the first oil change on my wifes 570 and my 850? The book states every 100 hours or once per year but it doesn’t really have a recomendation for the first one. Any opinions or thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave

Front Tamarack box mounted to rear Gr700

Noticing several members have this setup, would like some feedback before I pull the trigger and order one today.

I have a soft shell rack, just takes a shade longer to access sometimes and the mounting slides around a bit and wears the paint off the rack. I take it off and on which is a slight inconvenience, would prefer to have a per enact setup.

clutch question

my 2015 570SP doesn’t engage the clutch until about 2000-2100 rpm, and then it’s kinda jumpy and NOT smooth transition

is this normal?

I am on the fence about a spring(s) upgrade, so the answers here will solve that question

thanks in advance
