Just wanted to say hello and thank everyone for the awesome posts. Just purchased a ’16 Sportsman XP1000 and love it!! It will primarily be used for ice fishing and am currently setting it up with heated grips, a windshield, auger mount, bucket holders, and tracks. Will post pics when I get it fully ice ready

Frame stiffeners needed for 2017 xp1000?

I am getting a new XP 1000. I have a 2014 xp850. I have seen a couple
post mention frame stiffeners for the xp1000. Are the xp1000 frames weaker than the 850 I would have guessed they were pretty much the same. I don’t do a lot of jumping or real hard riding the hardest thing I do to the frame is going over fallen tree’s and bottom out while going over. Just like to get some info and opinions. Thanks in advance

Tracks/clutching

New here and my 1st post. Is a clutch kit necessary or just a great improvement when installing tracks on an XP 1000?? Just purchased a new leftover ’16 and have plans on going with a set Camoplast 4S. RVS is only a couple hours north of me (have read good things about them) so I could run up and chat w/ them pretty easy if clutching is needed before putting on the tracks. This site has been awesome for answering 99% of my questions by searching. Hoping someone with tracks will chime in. Thanks!!!

New to the forum. Just bought my first outlander it’s a 2012 xt 1000. Very impressed my last 4×4 atv was a carb Polaris sportsman 500. The only other can AM I’ve owned were a 2009(I think lol) ds 450 and a 01 ds 650 Baja.

Already ordered a flex plow for it. And I’m going to change all the fluids. I also happen to have a new battery on the shelf for it so I might as well change it.
