Motoalliance “FLASH” Sale

Hey Gang,
Nearly the entire company here at Moto is doing our year-end inventory and that leaves the phones to me and our lead tech, Caleb.

We are NEVER on the phones, so it’s FLASH SALE time between now and noon today!

Call and make us an offer anytime over the next three hours. Who knows what kind of deal you might get on a VIPER WINCH, DENALI PLOW, FIRESTORM HEATER, SIRIUS PRO LIGHT, etc. 🙂

ATV For Snow Plowing Help

Newbie looking for help on purchasing a used machine for snow plowing. I would like to spend $6k tops.

This will be used primarily for plowing a driveway in Colorado at an elevation of 9300 ft. In summer some occasional light off road and trips on dirt roads to the mail box.
I have looked around the site some and I’m partial to the Rubicon because of the drive system. I would also like it to have EFI due to the elevation.

Thoughts please.

Spark Plugs

I have a 2015 grizzly 700. It’s almost a year old and I was wondering how often some of you change your spark plugs. Also is there another plug that holds up better than the stock one? NGK is a pretty good brand so I was thinking of staying the same.

XMR vs 1000 XT parts myths???

So I was lucky enough to score a 2014 XMR rolling chassis (only missing engine) from a repo sale. I already own a 2013 1000 xt outlander. My plan so far is to transplant the XMR Rad on to my bike and go from there. I have a ton of questions for the gurus!
Are the diffs/axles/a arms and all that actually different? The rumor is that XMR diffs are built heavier.
I feel like the bike is taller. Would it be worth the effort to transplant the air ride fox shocks? Are the shocks taller?
What would y’all switch over? Or should I just transplant the motor? Never done it but how hard can it be??
Please help.. PS This is the extended frame XMR and I have a one seater XT. Doubt that the drive shaft fits anyways. But that’s just one more question

What is the sound and volume of a healthy cvt?

I had my 2014 700 out today after I had the the primary sheave out. I had it machined by Glenlivet. I did the install myself with guidance from this great forum. I rode for 2.5 hours and the bike ran well. It makes a loud whining sound relative to speed and load. There is no knocking or weird sounds, just a loud whirring sound. It’s not terribly loud, but it competes with the exhaust to give you an idea. Is this how these things sound? It’s my first cvt quad and I only rode it once last winter right after I bought it. It only has 37 hours on it.
