My new toy…

I picked up a 2016 Outlander XT-P back in August. I was looking to get an XT-P 850, however the dealership wasn’t able to get one. So I bought the XT-P 1000 that they had sitting on the floor. The power was pretty intimidating on the first ride, I didn’t even get it over 35mph.

I’m planning to keep it stock for now, I’ll probably change my mind on that a few months from now… :th_smilieroflmao2: Currently I have a Black Oak LED bar on the front, 10 inches, double row in a spot/flood combo. It’s bright as hell. Also have a Black Oak LED pod on the rear as a back-up light, I’ve backed up into a stump at night while borrowing my Dad’s quad, don’t want to repeat that with mine.

RZR wheels and Black Mamba’s on a Sportsman 570?

Hi there,

I’m new to this forum.
I have a 2016 570 with about 300 miles on it and have started doing upgrades on it.

I ran across this set of used wheels and tires and was looking for opinions on them for my quad. I think i’d like it to stay away from doing a lift… I like the factory stance.

2 – 27x9x12
2 – 27x11x12
Rims and tires
Rims are stock 2011 rzr s

Rzr wheels a good improvement over stock steels? Black Mamba’s any good or should I keep looking?

Thanks :banana:

Buying a 1989 TRX300 4×4 for my mom

Hey guys,

I’m going to check out a bike tomorrow so my Mom can join me and my Dad down to the wood lot with a wheeler.

I’ll be looking out for a busted bearing inside the brake panel as well as any unusual noises inside the rear diff. If any of you can give me more tips on things to look out for i’d appreciate!

It’s going for 1900$ (canadian). The dude said it was his daughter’s bike. Basic 2000lbs winch which is probably a cheapy.

If the images don’t work, chances are he sold it already and took the ad out of Kijiji.

2008 Honda Rancher 420 rattle

Hey everyone, I’ve got what sounds like a rattle in the top end. At first I thought it was a loose top motor mount. Here’s some background on it. I just bought it a month or two ago with a broken timing adjuster. So I replaced that and the timing chain. Put it back together to find out the cylinder was out of spec. So new bore and hone and a wiesco piston. Now I’m in the middle of break in and there is a rattle or tapping in what sounds like the valve area. I triple checked the valve lash and it’s good. Also the noise is mostly when I’m riding it at around 2000 rpms, and I can’t quite duplicate it with it standing still in neutral. Also I’m pretty sure my clutch sprag(one way bearing) is bad, could that cause the noise? Thanks in advance for any help!! Going on a big trip next weekend so I’m kinda desperate!!

Oil Help

I do not want this to turn into "what kind/brand of oil to use" thread, but I do have questions on the weight of oil.
I currently use Shell Rotella T6 Synthetic in the 5W-40 weight.

I own 2 570’s and they have an engine "knock" at idle (always have). Not bad, but they both have always bothered me.

If I used a heavier weight of oil would that quiet them down? What is considered "heavier" as I do not understand the numbers in oil.

OR….. do I just live with the knock?
