Time for new tires

So it’s time for new tires. I have been riding the stock tires for a few months and have had to put 2 plugs in the last two trips I have gone on. And I’m just driving normal woods trails. So time to replace them.

I am thinking Maxxis Bighorns. I like the looks of them. Just wondering about what size tires to get. Stay the same size as stock? Can I go bigger? And if so how much? I don’t want to have to install lift kits to put bigger tires on. So the biggest I can go without changing anything. Extra ground clearance would be great while riding two up.

What did you ride before a Renegade?

Myself, I switched from Sport quads to the Renegade 1000xxc……I still have my Honda 700XX and probably won’t part with it anytime soon.

Just did my first trail ride on my 2015 XXC and I am pretty impressed so far. Its nice with the bigger tires and way better shocks. Power band seems pretty good too. Still getting used to it…Logged about 50 trail miles on it so far.

You Can-am guys better hope they don’t come out with a newer version of my 700XX though….There is a lot I still like about that one too.

Plans for the Renny are to go to gull wing front a-arms and the 2" longer rear trailing arms. Then some fender flares and light weight rims…

2016 axles

Well I am running 31 outlaws on my 2016 and finally broke the highlifter dht axles I ordered when the 16 first came out and called to get them replaced and well the have parts to fix mine this time but discontinued that axle for these machines…..I checked everywhere and cannot find a beefier axle for the 2016 anywhere checked rhino brand gorilla highlifter no one has any….there has to be something out there stronger then stocks….please help cuz I don’t think 07-13 axles work do they and not sure about 14-15

Electrical nightmare

Got a 2004 6×6 it has lots of spark till it fires I’ll explain
When plug is out have lots of spark and will spark forever put the plug in the head it will fire right up than die. It won’t start sparking till I turn the key off than back on. Even drained the fuel from the carb put the plug in turned it over with a spark tester hooked up between the plug and wire and got constant spark till I put fuel to it and it fired up for 2 seconds than lost spark again till I reset the key

Why the commander?

I am looking to get back into the trail riding scene,my last 2 atv’s have been 2up outlanders.My wife really likes the SxS comfort.we are starting to look really hard at the commander and maverick.we would just be going to Hatfield and McCoy trails and similar trails.My question is other than price why did you go with the commander?

2016 Foreman/Waren Winch Help!

I am currently installing my Waren Winch on my new 2016 Honda Foreman 500. I have the winch installed, but I can’t for the life of me figure out how to get the red, and black wires from the winch back to the contact (when did they change from yellow/blue?). I ran them along the right side of my frame along with my OE wiring harness. They won’t make it much past the breather box. There’s no way these wires would ever make it to the rear storage box. I also have the yellow/blue wires that go to the battery. Please help!! This is the Honda install kit for a 2014 Foreman/Rancher 08L74-HR3-A20

Thanks!

SportSan 850 2015

I recently bought this machine from the dealer with the 5 yr warranty. Love the way it rides and the power… only complaint is it has gone in for warranty more then a LADA car. I mean OMG. I don’t ride it hard and 50% of my riding is roads. And warranty seems to be vary picky on what is and isn’t warranty. I figured I pay 1500.00 I should be coverd for everything mechanical.
1. Diff internals replaced… first week of owning.
2. Input cross bearing
3. Steering stem shutter/replace complete
And now fuel pump makes noise…
My old 700 twin was way more reliable. Is this a thing to come or is this just the first year break in procedure lol pun intended.
