Had a chance to ride yesterday with usual riding buddy on his 14 grizz, and then old riding buddy I caught up with and his 17 special edition grizz. Alot of our riding requires creek crossings or creek runs to get across and I’m always the guy getting stuck, immediately. I really blame the tires, big horns, just because they dig so much in the soft creek sand. Buddy on 14 grizz with stock maxis would drive in circles around me, and never get stuck. The digging tire theory came into fact yesterday since buddy on 14 grizz upgraded to bear claws, and buddy on 17 grizz had stock maxis. Stock, low lugged tires seem to be the way to get across the soft sand bottom creek.
But, at one crossing I decided to try something new. Had about a 100yr run to make up the creek to another landing that would allow a ride up vs having to winch up the bank. So I struck off and literally only gave enough throttle to creep up the creek, no mad spinning tires, and when it’d stop and begin to dig in, I’d stop, back up just as gingerly, then after tracks sited back in, would start the slow run again.
Was able to make it all the way without having to winch at all. Buddies on their grizzlys, stock and aftermarket tires, had to winch most of the way up, think alot was due to slightly heavy throttle and wheel spin, forcing a dig down. So tried my slow method again at another crossing, and worked again. So basically, if you haven’t done it that way on soft creek bottoms, give it a shot, the slow barely about ideling up the creek and see if it’ll reap more progress with less winching
I have the stock tail light of renegade can am 1000 (in the picture) I would like to replace it with the LED 3" round light (also in the picture). Can someone tell me how to remove the stock light out (+ the lens)from the bezel without breaking the casing?
Is this stock light replaceable or fixed? Can the lens be extracted out or pry out? do I need to use a dremel to remove this out?
Good Morning Gentlemen! First off, I have a 2015 Outlander Max 650 XT.
I am wanting to mount an auxiliary horn to my ride. Somewhere I read where there is supposed to be an auxiliary 12V tap under the instrument panel. I can’t seem to locate it. Does anyone know its location or color code? My thought is to use it as the 12v source for the relay. Your help is appreciated!
I am looking for some advice. The problem I am having is at speeds of around 95-100 kph, under 3/4 to full throttle, the engine hits rev limiter and it feels like it is slipping. It will grab momentarily and slip again. The bike still has power to lift front skyward at lower speeds. Can not get speed much above 100 kph
What I have done so far with no improvement is replace the secondary spring with new OEM and installed new bolt. The helix is in great shape(replaced 5000 km ago). Installed a new Maverick belt. I removed the primary and cleaned it and greased the one-way. I replaced the spider roughly 5000kms ago and added Dalton steel rollers. I did notice the arms were ridged on the back.
Should I replace the arms? Would that cause the issue I am having?
Is there some thing outside of the clutches I should be considering?
I have a 2000 Sportsman 500. AWD works in forward but not in reverse. When shift into reverse the AWD light goes off. When speed limiter button pushed in any gear the left dash light (orange) lights up. I’ve plugged in new switch controls with same result. Speed limiter button has never worked since I bought it used. Same with AWD in reverse. Any suggestions?
Let’s see your set up! Fuel packs, tools, saws, cargo, light bars(pods) anything and everything ! Homemade, store bought. Let’s see how you mount your gear for an adventure!
I’m looking for ideas for cargo mounting. I have a chainsaw and rotopax I would like to get on. Here’s example of what I’m looking at. I would like to leave the front rack clean for a front cargo box. Slapped this together just to get an idea of location and space by no means would I ever go ride like this lol:gcrules:
I put resistors in place of the O2 sensor & cold air intake sensor to trick the ECU into thinking the machine is running with colder air. I am no expert nor a licensed mechanic, so IF you chose to do this, do it at your own risk. I also punched the stock pipe out, the machine does have more noticeable bottom & mid power.
Anyway…. just throwing it out there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaw8lEJ9BBo

2004 mid year model sportsman 400. I am tyring to locate the voltage regulator location. It is not where it is supposed to be. The regulator I got from the dealer looks nothing like what is there. Please help me figure this out.
So I just picked up an 87 250 Trail boss. It has a carb off of a 600 twin snowmobile. It does not perform very well, it won’t rev very high, and it pretty doggy even on low end. I think it could be improved with jetting, either that or I wonder if there is a good alternative that is not so expensive. Looks like original carbs run $100 and up. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks
