camoplast tatou 4s tracks width

anyone have these tracks of a newer rubicon? i got a 2017 rubicon and haul it on a aluma 548 trailer, the trailer is 54" x 96". i ordered the tracks and was wondering if it will be less than 54" width to fit on my trailer? or do i need to buy a wider trailer? i heard it adds 3.5" width but is that total or 3.5 on each side?

Voltage gauge

I am interested intalling a voltage gauge on my 2015 grizzly 700 eps to monitor if battery is properly being charged. This is just to be able to see potential problems in future like a stator failure before getting stranded on the trails. Any recommendations? I am all ears

CVT Maintenance

I have a 2015 grizzly 700 eps SE. Have had it for a little over a year and I bought it brand new as a leftover. Absolutely love the machine. It is approaching 800 miles on it and I was wondering is now a good time to do preventative maintenance on the CVT? Anything in particular I should do or be on the lookout for?

Good G2 Outlander “Street Legal” Equipment Package

More states are making ATVs street legal. Our neighbor Utah did so in 2015. Street legal ATVs make the hobby much more appealing. There are restrictions in most cases, but they are quite liveable.

I want to purchase a package that would make my Outlander Max street legal in Utah so I am already for Moab. Here is what I need in addition to what comes standard on the Outlander:

1. License plate bracket with a white light above it.
2. Amber (front) and red (rear) turn signals with operating switch.
3. Horn with operating button.

The G2 Outlander comes with the other required equipment such as headlights, tail light, brake light, parking brake, spark arrester muffler, lighted speedometer, rear view mirrors (optional but dealer available). Interesting enough, Can Am has a "CE" machine specification that comes with horn and turn signals. Maybe this is required in Europe or other markets.

I would like an aftermarket package that integrates well with the Outlander, especially the turn signal and horn switches on the already crowded handle bars.

What package have you used and felt was a success?

Newbie with 570 sportman

Just picked up a 2017 570 sportsman.
I notice the header pipe glows red under light loads, as in 35-40 mph going down the road. Was told this is normal until engine gets broke in?
Been driving it fairly easy, no WOT yet.

Plan on using Mobil 1 synthetic 5w40 diesel oil. Is that OK? Or should I use the 5w40 for gas engines? Was told the diesel oil has been additives?

What oil should I use for the trans and front diff.
Was told to use synthetic ATF for the front diff? That OK?
What should be used in the trans?

I read to use Purolator pl14610 oil filter. But read there was a batch of bad filters going around? Something about the filter media tearing? Or did that happen a while ago and everything is OK now?

Thanks for listening to my newbie questions! I know these questions were probably all asked before, but I read so many threads that I know less now, then when I started! Lol
