I’m running a stock Outlander XT 1000 and wondering if a tuner would help with gas milage and heat issues? I would need something that I could reset to stock once a year so the ATV will pass emissions for its street legal registration. I took the ATV for a rip to Lowes today in 70 degree temps and the fan ran most of the 3 miles there and back.

Why when I click on a small pic link to open it it opens to a huge pic that I have to use the scroll bar to see it all? Anymore I just don’t click on them because they are too big, grainy and just generally not worth it. Am I doing something wrong or is it the way the pics are linked?

I’m trying to figure out if I can mount 2 3 gallon Rotopax gas cans on the front rack of my 2015 Outlander Max XT with the 4" rack extension installed? A 4 gallon pack will not fit but from the measurements it looks like 2 3 gallon packs would be close as there shorter but taller. Anyone have any packs mounted up with the rack extension?

Got the Ricochet skids installed on the Outlander Max 1000 XT today. Easy smooth job until I decided I wanted to replace the winch cable with a winch rope I took off my old ATV. Ended up having to pull the bash plate and loosen the front skid so I could get the front plastic kind of off and access the winch mounting bolts. Slide the winch somewhat out the right side of the ATV where I was able to access the drum and change the line over.

Outty strung up to the Maple tree, she wouldn’t stay set back on the rear grab handle so I tied her off to the tree on the other side of the yard. Take note of them fine new bark chips on the ground, spent yesterday hauling and spreading 12 cu yards of the stuff.

Some shots of the factory skids or lack there of.

Ricochets almost on.

I set her on the ground and removed the rear tires to get the factory plastic off the A Arm and install the new A Arm skids.

Do I need to take an precautions when standing my Outlander on its tail besides don’t let it fall on me? Any fluids going to leak out, should I let it sit on its wheels a while before starting it after I’m done?

Question for you guys running aluminum skid plates. Do the plates rattle or make a lot of noise? I would assume if there tight they wouldn’t.
