Hey guy I know this is a commander forum but wanted to pick some brains on a problem I am having with my 2016 cam am xmr 650. After going threw a good sized puddle my can am lost acceleration.The engine is fine and running great thought maybe water got into the engine but it didn’t. Already changed spark plugs and oil just incase but oil was not milky at all. The highest mph I have got this four wheeler to since is about 20 feels like a baby four wheeler.

grizz wont start after running 97 octane

HI guys
2005 Grizzly 660 wont start just backfires after running 97 octane in her. Was running fine till i put the 97 in ran for about 10 min or so putted it down the hill started sputtering so i shut it off. Checked all my wiring,my plug checked to see if i had fuel in the bowl of the carb all checked ok just wont start backfires. The next day i walked down the hill took the carb off cleaned checked for any blockages took all the jets out cleaned and blew them out still wont start. I went and got a new spark plug thinking maybe i fouled it out still wont start. After a long day of winching the grizz up the hill finally got it in my garage drained all the 97 octane out drained the bowl on the carb and put regular unleaded back in it tried starting again still wont start just backfires. i checked the carb boot for any tears looked good. Now i have the carb off cleaning it again. I’m thinking maybe the valves !!!!!!! any suggestions?

King of the Hammers Sneak Peak + Video

Only the strong survive

King of the Hammers is not for the faint of heart. It pushes both man and machine to the brink of insanity and anyone hoping to finish, let alone compete, had better spend as much time preparing themselves as they do their machine. The demands of the race can take a physical and psychological toll on the racers. King of the Hammers is no walk in the park as this video from last year’s event shows all to well.

How To Choose the Right ATV Helmet

Do you have a cheap head?

I have always been of the opinion that when riding off road vehicles you must protect the single most important decision-making part of your body and that’s your head. However I have noticed that in the passing years many people choose to buy the cheapest ATV helmet they can find all the while not knowing if it would even protect them in a crash. To make matters worse people will by their children even cheaper head protection. This short read will hopefully help you make the right decision when choosing a helmet.

Let’s take a brief glance into the many certifications that can be found on the legitimate helmets at your local dealer. We have all seen the DOT, SNELL and ECE stamps usually tucked down at the bottom of the backside of your helmet, but we want you to understand what each one means.

Hi

Hi I am new to Forum thing have been reading ATV forums for years always helped me fix/Mod issues on several Machines. I have always had dirt bikes then switched to a Blaster in 2000 then went to a trx450r. I bought a king 700 with a trailer for my son and went on to look at Can am’s. A couple months ago I Found a 2010 800xxc Renegade like new with 165 miles on it and love the machine. Looking for a couple mods coming up.

Which swing arm bearings?

I’m due to change the rear swing arm bearings on my Trx300 fourtrax. I’ve searched on eBay and different sellers show different bearings, taper roller and ball bearing.
All the companies/sellers show the same model year so I’m a little unsure wether it is possible to use either type of bearing or if they have the model date/year wrong or possibly the image.

Can I use either or is there a difference in year?
