Hey guys. I bought an ECM for my 07 500 Sportsman a few years ago and I ordered the wrong part # and they wouldnt take the damn thing back. Its brand new in the Polaris box and has never been installed. The part # is 4012443. Engine Control Module. If anybody is interested in this thing I will sell it CHEAP. I paid almost $500.00 Canadian for it. If anybody is interested in it send me an email at seanwest1@accesscomm.ca and I can send it off. Not sure how often these fail but they are a pricey part. I think it also fits other years and sizes but not sure.
Planning on picking up a 2013+ renegade by next spring. My last bike was a YFZ 450, and I loved it but it just isn’t an ideal trail vehicle when there is mud and water involved.. I was looking at a raptor until I decided it would be nice to be able to plow my driveway so then on to Grizzly 700 (can you tell I’m a Yamaha fanboy?) but never really looked into can am much. After a bunch of research it looks like a renegade is what I want. Outlander seems to be the same bike but more utility based, and only the XMR version comes with the remote reservoir shocks? I’ll be using it for 95% trail riding, doubt I’ll use the racks for anything other than beer.
Anyway, I’ve learned a lot from this site and figured it was time to join.
Yesterday i was plowing with my 2010 700 Grizzly . i tried to punch through a snowbank to plow from the other side , i got almost through the snowbank and got hung up . when i got stuck i heard a loud clunking noise. I was sure i had blown a CV joint and had an axle flopping around under the front end . Winched it out and had a look everything looked ok . Plowed snow for a few hours after , everything seemed fine. Any body have any ideas what the noise could have been ?
I bought a 2016 Dodge Ram 2500 6.7 diesel this summer and this is my first winter using DEF fluid. It seems to be burning throught the DEF a little faster now that its cold (20-40 degrees) than during the summer/fall. Is this common?
Well found a deal on a nice 03 rancher. Decided to pic it up and work on over the winter. What I know it needs pull start fixed, new rear plastics, brakes all around, a battery and a carb cleaning. The front wheel has a lot of play up and down left and right. So I’m guessing wheel bearings as well.
So far I have the recoil pull start off and most of the rear plastics. New pull start is on its way. Something internally in it works when it’s off but as soon as I put it back on doesn’t seem to want to recoil or turn the gear.
so with the weather here in NE Ohio I decided to change all my fluids before putting the plow on and was reading through the manual and noticed that is states to clean the oil screen behind the right side engine case. I never knew it was there, I always figured if I was going to pull the engine apart it’d be because I needed to rebuild the top end or something. has anyone done this? how dirty was it? is it really that necessary to do annually?

Just purchased my first atv and could not be more excited! Unfortunately, can’t use it until Christmas, which has been VERY difficult so far. What really sucks too is that I have a brand new 60" Warn Provantage sitting in the garage too, but my winch is on back order! O yea and we just got about 8" of snow the past couple days here in Wisconsin and had to resort to using a snowblower instead of my new toy. This site has been very helpful so far and can’t wait to add some more accessories to it!
I am new to the forum but I thought this may help a few folks. I recently purchased a 2017 XMR 1000. I thought I’d do a few upgrades just to make it my own. I decided to purchase a few RJWC products. Duals, shifter, air box lid, and bumper corners. Just like all the RJWC items the build quality of the bumper corners is exceptional. The hardware, not so much. It comes with cheap, zinc plated bolts, nuts, and washers. It seems like these Items should be stainless. So I went to Lowes Hardware and picked up what I needed and looked good.
If you want to do the same you will need the following. All in stainless steel.
1/4-20X1" (4)
1/4-20X3/4" (4)
1/4 lock washers (8)
1/4 flat washers (24)
1/4-20 acorn nuts (8)
The top bolt needs to be the 1" length. Bottom should be 3/4" length. You will have to adjust the number of washers you use on the top bolt to accommodate the acorn nut. Seems like it took 2-3 washers per top bolt. I placed them on the inside of the bumper corner so that all the hardware you could see looked identical on all the bolts all the way around the bike.
The rest is straight forward.
There is a pic of one installed with the included hardware, new stainless steel hardware, and of the finished install.
