rear drive shaft issues

ok so I’ve been having issues with my rear drive shaft coming apart where the main shaft slides into the slip yoke. i rebuilt the shaft for the 3rd time now and i decided to mock everything up without the rubber boot on the shaft and I’m wondering how much of the splines on the main shaft should be showing? i feel like they might not be meshing enough or something.. i did roll the quad a few years ago and this is when my issues started. i can’t see if the frame is tweaked but it very well could be I’m not sure tho!

Rear prop shaft bolt keeps coming lose

I am having an issue here. I noticed the the bolt on the rea prop shaft coming out of the tranny was gone. It actually broke off. I drilled and easy outed out but i found out that it was not even tight. I replaced the seal aling with new bolt and washer. Lock tighted with blue. Couple days later, bolt was gone again. Got new bolt, red lock tighted it couple days later, gone again. Another bolt and added lock washer and next day see it lose again. What’s happening here? Crappy lick tights? I will try it again soon when i get new lock tight. Any other suggestions? I should add that last summer i replaced the u joints on that shaft, but been good till now.

Please please help!!

I need some serious help with my renegade 1000. I was on a hill climb and half way up it stopes dead in its tracks. And wheels locked up. After rocking it back and forth I got it free and go it down the hill. Then it rolled to bottom and same thing the wheels lock up again. So I drove it to the truck slowly and the belt was just smoking so bad. And now it makes some clunking and grinding kinda. And after I tighten the secondary clutch up the clunking is not as bad but will only roll like three feet and lock up again. Please help.

Changing Gearbox Oil-Help Needed ASAP

So I managed to do the engine oil with no issues, started to do the gearbox & followed the directions in the manual, I took the white plastic plug out, that’s the oil level plug correct? The 2nd pic is the drain plug (see pic) However I can’t for the life of me get a socket in there with the skid plate so close to take it off. I loosened most of the bolts on the skid plate to give me some space but the 2 up front near the a-arms are a PITA to remove! When I removed the white plastic plug it did drain some oil, do I need to take the other one off as well or no? I’m assuming the white plastic plug will be the filler hole? Thx for the help guys, first time changing the fluids on the Rene, didn’t wanna fork out over $200 for the service.

Can am renegade,outlander 800 charging issue update

Hey guys just writing to let everyone know that after many hours of Reserch I have found out that can am superseded to the new stator automatically to solve the charging problems so this means if you go in to buy a new stator make sure it’s not an old one they had in stock, order a new one and it should solve your charging issues and tripped battery light every time you run your winch or extra lights
