Outlander l shock upgrade fox

Nobody can confirm that fox shocks fit on an outlander l model. Can-am doesn’t list the l model as fitting with the $580 dollar fox shocks. I have a 2015 outlander l 500 max and they fit. Good news. I risked it and it is a direct easy fit. I had a super atv lift and removed it because the shocks lifted my machine another 2 inches because of spring. I took like an inch off the preload they came with. The rear lift bracket hit a little bit the stock mounts are fine. I can actually monster truck over obstacles now. I wish someone confirmed the fit sooner. A must upgrade for outlander l. I found myself bottoming out a ton in New Hampshire. I will confirm performance after next long ride. It resulted in about an inch of lift over stock I would say. Anyone want to buy my stock shocks?

confused on new tires and wheels

I am still running factory tires on a 2007 sportsman 700 and 2007 sportsman 500. It is time to replace them and i’m totally lost. We ride mostly rocky terrain and i looked at the Maxxis bighorns but they are gonna rub. I have been reading about spacers, offset wheels flipping tie rods. Would my best bet be the BHS in 26 or move down to the 25s? And if i bought the Delta steel wheels which offset would i need?

Maier Manufacturing

I spoke with Maier today and he indicated that they just wrapped up first production on a new product. New PP plastics for 86-69 Foretrax and Foreman with integrated flares. Won’t be cheap…but will be brand new.

If I can get this machine running the way I envision, then I may spring for the new plastics from Maier.

Starter problems

I’m new to forum so pardon my ignorance. I have a 96 trx 300. Won’t start. Solinoid clicks but starter motor does nothing. Battery is new and a strong 12v. Have continuity from battery to relay (solonoid). Have 12v from input terminal on relay to ground. Have 12v from output post on relay to ground when I push the starter button. Have continuity from output of relay to terminal on starter. Get 12v at starter when I push starter button but starter does not turn. Nothing happens if I short across the poles of the relay. Is this most likely the starter motor?
