Evening All,

I am in the process of finishing the wiring up on the 700 and working on the winch as I type. I purchased a WARN Vantage 3000 and noticed the following.
There is not a relay, nor is there a 12v switched wire. In other words I am going direct with all wiring to the WARN contactor. The only switched wire is from the winch in/out switch on my handlebars. My question is this……..

Should I put an inline 30a fuse in the main battery power wire before it hits the contactor? The schematic does NOT show anything but a direct connection of positive and negative from battery to the main contactor. I am wondering if it would be a smart preventative idea to put an inline fuse in. And is 30a sufficient, too much, too small? Am waiting for answers before moving forward. Hoping all of you who have installed prior will have some good info.

Thank you in advance,

Matty

I took my right rear trailing arm off to change the rear axle and I can’t get the trailing arms to line up to put the bolt back in. Need help! What to do?

I just registered to this forum. I live in Colorado close to Denver, moving here from Minnesota for family reasons. I’ve enjoyed "motor sports" for years and years including RC modeling, go karts, motorcycles, compact tractors, and mainly sports cars. My wife would prefer I take up gardening. We enjoy traveling in our vintage Airstream, both in Colorado as well as the rest of the country. We pull the Airstream with a late model diesel pickup. We are retired and love the RV lifestyle being on the road a couple of months a year.

I met some folks here in my new hometown who are active in the ATV hobby. I am planning on joining them for some Colorado trail rides in the future. They ride Arctic Cats and recommend them. Being from the Minneapolis area I am quite familiar with the Polaris brand. I have been researching ATVs the best I can before I make a purchase decision. Here is what I want in an ATV:

1. I want a 2 up machine for an occasional passenger. But mainly I like the idea of a longer wheelbase. I don’t want a side by side and I want to plow snow and need the maneuverability. A tight turning radius is important to me. Besides, I want to stay under the 50" wide requirement for ATV trails here in Colorado.

2 I want to plow Colorado snow in the winter with it, including the snowplow mounds at the end of the driveway. Heavy stuff when wet.

3. I will take it on leisurely trail rides with my new friends.

4 I want good ground clearance, easy steering, and a comfortable ride. I will not be doing any aggressive trail riding. I’ll steer around a mud hole.

5. I’ll do some chores around my home with it, mainly skidding out dead trees and hauling cut firewood with a trailer.

6. First and foremost, I want reliability in my ATV.

So Can Am Outlander Max 850 is on top of my list at the moment. It is considerably more expensive. I know the Rotax engine from my go kart days, I like the fit and finish of the Outlander, I like the adjustable shocks, and I think I like the 4wd "visco" locking differential. I need good engine braking in the mountains around here. I don’t need a 75 hp machine, but I want 75 hp.

So I will browse this Forum learning more about the advantages and disadvantages of the Can Am Outlander.

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Got my new Machine a couple months ago and I want to give her some more pep was thinking of changing my clutches does anyone have any suggestions? The wheeler is all stock except for the exhaust. I’d also appreciate any suggestions on other power adders. Thanks for the input guys very much appreciated.

I’ve been reading and trying to decide on skids for my rig. One concern I have is mud and the skids. I would imagine that if I’m in some nice sloppy stuff the skids will get plugged up and packed good. Is that a "true" statement? My main use is hunting where rocks, stumps, and sloppy conditions are the norm. Will the mud packing truly be a concern or more of a inconvenience when it comes to clean up? What about snow, slush, ice? Will freeze up also be worse? I’m thinking the trade off with the mud/ice packing will not outweigh the protection I need. Just looking for "real world " useage opinions. I’m not looking to start another debate on what skid brand is better…
However, that being said, will hdpe shed mud/ice any better than alum or Vic versa?

I’m aware I’m in the 2016 section but there isn’t a 2017 yet.Just got this machine a couple months ago, it’s an amazing machine but I want to pep it up a bit. Was wondering what clutch kits would be recommended and or anything else that might give this beast some more power. It’s all stock except for the exhaust that I put on a few weeks back. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

What more could i ask for wife shot the 4 pt and i hauled it in my new 1500 hd Polar trailer and pulled it home with the 2016 Grizzly !

Hi all
I’m new to owning a quad and side hills make me pretty nervous.
Have any of you rolled your quad on a side hill? Please tell your experience. What degree was the sloop?
Thanks

I brought a glacier II plow but the guy did not have the mount plate. Does anyone have the mount plate for sale? parts # 2878823
