Unsure if I should sell or keep?

My 09 renegade X. Basic mod list is hygear suspension / 940BBK, Cams, headwork, clutching / supporting mods.

All my friends seem to not be riding anymore and I keep sinking money into this thing. Its fairly quick and a BLAST to ride. I enjoy tinkering with it but I don’t enjoy constantly sinking money into it. Its been apart sense july 4th weekend when my fuel injectors failed and filled the bottom end.

I’m debating just selling it while the motor is new and not have to deal with it.

Anyone run into this situation? :th_smiliepullhair::th_smiliepullhair:

Winch Question

So I have a 2013 xmr 1000 with a Warn Xl3000 winch that has quit on me after very little use. I’ve read that this is quite common and that Warn winches aren’t worth the extra money. (Is it just me or are they really expensive?!)…..

So. My question is can anyone share any options they have tried as replacements for the original Warn winch and if so are you happy with the alternative or would you buy a Warn again next time??

I’d appreciate any thoughts/experiences you can share

Thanks!

Considering my 1st CVT

I’m looking at buying my 1st belt drive atv and don’t know the 1st thing about them. I’be only owned or ridden one brand from the early 80’s with my current being 13 year’s old with zero serious issue’s. The only CVT I ever rode was a Yammy 600/660 for a mile because I was so muddy trying to get an excavator/trackhoe unstuck. " just put it in high and gas on it was what I was told".

I’m looking at the Outlander 850XT. I don’t dog my atv’s all the time and wondering how the Can Am’s hold up for a long period of time.

Maxxis Zilla’s will be installed, 27’s since they run an inch short. Hunting, pleasure ride’s and occasionally pull a medium size atv trailer and won’t shy away from a good looking mud hole if tree’s around. (Ride alone a bunch)

What’s the do’s and don’ts to keep from burning/breaking a belt?

What speed’s to use high/low range? Example, max speed 15-20 mph on hard packed or dirt road for 2 miles just puttering along enjoying a cold one.

I’m looking to own this machine for an extended period of time, I’ve never keep up with the Jone’s.

1000r

Does anyone know when next run of oulander 1000r xtp’s will be hitting dealers. Ordered mine 2 months ago and I have heard nothing

Can-Am Pilots Earn 6 Victories at Ironman GNCC Finale in Indiana

Valcourt, Québec, Nov. 2, 2015 – Can-Am X-Team members wrapped up their Grand National Cross Country season in dominating fashion, winning six classes, the SxS overall and securing two Pro class championships at the Ironman event in Indiana. Can-Am Maverick 1000R pilot Kyle Chaney and Renegade X xc 800R racer Bryan Buckhannon successfully repeated as XC1 Pro SxS and 4×4 Pro ATV class champions, respectively.

“We ended the 2015 GNCC season on a definite high note, as Can-Am X-Team racers Kyle Chaney and Bryan Buckhannon both repeated as Pro class champions. Chaney finished fourth at Ironman to easily win the XC1 Pro SxS class title, while Buckhannon put a resounding exclamation point on his consistent, championship season with a victory aboard his Renegade 4×4 at the final round,” said Jeff Leclerc, Racing Project Leader, Can-Am. “Overall, the 2015 ended with Can-Am racers winning six class titles, and pure dominance in the XC1 Pro class, where our Maverick racers took the top four spots in the final standings.”


One of the most consistent riders in GNCC racing, Can-Am X-Team member Bryan Buckhannon successfully defended his 4×4 Pro ATV class championship by winning round 13 and finishing third on the overall morning podium in Indiana. Buckhannon had three wins and reached the class podium at every event this year.

At the famous AMSOIL Ironman GNCC in Crawfordsville, Ind., Can-Am racers Kyle Chaney (TurnKey UTV / Can-Am) and Bryan Buckhannon needed strong finishes to repeat as GNCC champions in both the 4×4 Pro ATV and XC1 Pro SxS classes, respectively.

In side-by-side vehicle action, defending class champion Kyle Chaney just needed to be steady and record a decent finish to maintain his points lead and capture yet another title. Chaney posted a strong rally and fourth-place finish to easily win the GNCC XC1 Pro SxS championship. It was Chaney’s second consecutive GNCC championship and third title of 2015 behind the wheel of the Can-Am Maverick 1000R side-by-side vehicle.


Can-Am X-Team member Kyle Chaney has won back-to-back XC1 Pro SxS class titles in his Maverick 1000R side-by-side by posting six wins over a two-year span.

“Two in a row! I’d have liked to have finished on the podium here, but my co-pilot Chris Bithell calmed me down and helped me focus on finishing, so I could win the championship,” said Chaney. “The competition in side-by-side racing is super stiff these days. You used to be able to come out with a stock machine and compete, but those days are gone, so you have to be prepared. The Can-Am Maverick is the best woods machine, period!”


Can-Am / JB Racing / Gunk racer Tim Farr owns the Ironman GNCC, having won the last three years at the round held in Indiana. Farr finished the year with four straight podiums and two consecutive wins to earn third overall in the XC1 Pro SxS class standings. Farr’s victory also made Can-Am drivers a perfect 6-for-6 in wins in 2015.

Can-Am / JB Racing / Gunk racer Tim Farr earned his second straight XC1 Pro class victory to finish the year in third place in the final standings behind teammate Larry Hendershot Jr. and Chaney. Farr has now won the Ironman event for three straight years in the Can-Am Maverick side-by-side vehicle. With Hendershot’s fifth-place finish, and Mouse Pratt’s (Jack’s Excavating) third-place run, Can-Am ended the year by sweeping the top four spots to dominate the final XC1 Pro class standings.

Can-Am X-Team member Richard Travalena also scored a class championship, winning the UTV Amateur Limited class in a Can-Am. Dave Plavi ended the season strong by winning the XC2 Pro Sport class in Indiana, to finish second overall for the year in his Offroadmotorsports’ Wicked Bilt / Can-Am Maverick 1000R.

Buckhannon took matters into his own hands during the 10 a.m. session, winning the final round to give him his second consecutive 4×4 Pro class title. The multi-time GNCC champion had one of the most consistent seasons in history, winning three times and finishing on the class podium at all 13 rounds.

“It was no-holds barred and we knew it was going to be that way. There was a lot of pressure on us. I’m very hard on myself, but I calmed myself down before this race,” Bryan Buckhannon. “This was a great year for us and for Can-Am. The Renegade has been flawless all season…this machine is built to win races.”

Can-Am 4×4 ATV racers also won three other amateur ATV class championships. Scott Day (4×4 A/B), Matthew Ewart (4×4 C) and Forrest Whorton (4×4 Senior 40+) were each crowned 2015 GNCC champions riding Can-Am ATVs.

Motor identification help

Long story short I sent my 2011 outy 800 off to get bored out & ended up using a friend of a friend that has a shop & supposedly did great work for a great price. After almost a year & many headaches I get my bike back & it’s a train wreck now. After pulling my bike apart I noticed the manufactured date on the motor sitting in my bike is from mid 07 & my bikes manufactured date is early 11. Does anyone know how I can tell if this is my engine or not?? Thanks
