Without trying to stir the pot on the whole skid plate thread thing, somebody told me to re route a vent line in one of the pictures. If whoever gave me that advice could tell me what to do with it, I’d appreciate it. I believe they were talking about the one in this picture. That is where it was ziptied to the frame from when I picked it up. Thanks again.

How to get at starter???
Guys,
I have a 2007 Sportsman 500 EFI that appears to have a bad starter. Battery is new and charged. Solenoid is working. Voltage drop across the solenoid is not much.
Rear clip is removed.
Not obvious to me how to get at the starter. Something has to be gotten out of the way.
What is the procedure for getting at the starter … PLEASE give me some guidance!
Thank you …
Mike
Fox Shocks / Highlifter Lift
Ok guys, I am looking to upgrade shocks on my 2015 xmr 800, and am interested in the fox shocks listed in the can am accessory catalog. I have seen various threads about these shocks, and how many have upgraded to them after the factory ones failed. Xmargh even had a recent thread about swapping factory outlander springs to these after the springs that come on them, (xxc renegade springs if memory serves) began to fatigue over time. This was my intent, buy the fox replacements from can am and swap my springs over. When looking in the 2017 catalog, the fitment description specifically excludes the 800 xmr. Ironically, the same day I was looking at shocks, I was also looking at highlifter signature series bracket lifts. They too specifically exclude the 2015 800 xmr. I called Highlifter, and the answer I got was that they’re having trouble keeping up with all the variations in can am suspension components, and the issue with that specific lift had to do with shock eyelet diameter variations between outlander models. I also called a reputable can am dealer and asked why the 2017 catalog exempts the xmr 800 from their fitment list, when the 2015 catalog did not (the 2015 catalog is still available online). The dealer I called has yet to find an answer. I know I am cramming a lot of info into one thread, but I have two questions. Anyone have any idea why can am would now not recommend the fox replacements for the xmr 800? Is anyone out there running the Highlifter 2 inch signature series bracket lift, and if so, were there any figment issues?

Bad Brake Caliper?
Okay… so no judgment. but on my 2014 grizzly 700 i wore my back breaks out past the metal and actually skimmed about a 16th of an inch off the caliper ram. The rotor actually looks fine though. Do you think i can get away with throwing new pads on and not buying a new caliper. i mean the ram is only a tee bit shorter now . :icon_ cry:

I’m having a hard time finding outlander l on the web page. Did they drop the l or am I missing it?
