hi folks,,,gonna pull the trigger on a new 570L. does anybody know if this winch ready? Mounting plate? thanks for any input–much appreciated:th_smiliethumbsup:

Anyone have real riding experiences with both the XMR and Max XTP? I’m really on the fence between the two. They seem so close now, since they both have the same Fox suspension. If I were to buy the XTP, I would most likely look to do the rad-relocate anyway to help with cooling and keeping the radiator cleaner, which would cost $300+. If I buy the XMR, I would definitely buy the Passenger seat for an additional $600. MSRP prices are close on both, 1000 Max XTP is $15,349, and the 1000 XMR in Manta Green $14,799. I did a side by side comparison, and here are some of the differences between the two: XMR is 176 lbs heavier, extra Low gear, 2" higher ground clearance, no front rack due to radiator, Length and Width of machine are 3" and 4" greater respectively, probably due to added mudguards, no passenger seat, and completely different wheels and tires which probably accounts for the huge weight difference. The obvious question is how will I ride it primarily, trails or mud? The answer is definitely more trails, but I have friends that would definitely coax me into the mud! Which one do I like better? I really love the look of the Manta Green over the Orange/Blk XTP, but I’m also a KTM guy so Orange doesn’t bother me to much either! I’m not opposed to a 850 either, but you can’t buy a 850 XMR in Manta Green, it’s only available in 1000. And before you tell me, yes I know the other XMR colors are $400-$500 cheaper, but I’d have to get the Manta Green! So, I’m looking for opinions from people that have ridden or owned both. I guess my biggest concern is the XMR wheels and tires vs the XTP. I have to think that would be the biggest difference in the overall ride between the 2 machines. I have another thought of maybe selling the XMR wheels and tires in favor of something a little more trail worthy like Maxxis Bighorns or seeing if a dealer would give me some sort of credit if I opted for something different. Can the Silverbacks be ridden on grass without tearing it up to bad? And how are they on trails and rocks? Any comments or opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi to all
Im looking to replacing the rear and front bearings on my
2007 outlander 650 xt 4X4,
do anyone know what is the size of those bearing (for example – 1x8x2 inc) ?
thanks for all the helpers in advance.

Hi all! New to the forum but have been over on the Commander forum for a few years. I have an 800 commander but wife decided she didn’t want to be a passenger. Looking for an Outlander as a second machine. I think I would like a yellow 800 or 850 or an XT-P, but would possibly consider a 650 or 1000 if it was an outstanding deal. I’ve been watching craigslist but haven’t found a good low mileage machine at a decent price.

I’ve been pricing new machines at some dealers. Could get a yellow 2015 800xt for $9200, a 2015 yellow 1000xt for $10,000, or a 2016 yellow 850 xt for 10,200 or 10,500 with a 2 year warranty. Any kind of extended warranty for 2015 models was quite expensive. I’m a little hesitant to buy a machine now with only a 6 month warranty because I wouldn’t use machine much until this summer after the warranty was gone.

I’m looking for Some thoughts on going after a leftover ’15 model vs a ’16 model? Could save some money on a 15 model but resale may be less, especially since they did make the engine changes for ’16. Thoughts on taking $300 rebate vs the extra 2 year warranty.

Let’s hear some opinions. Thanks!

Hi everyone . have read a lot of stuff on this subject but still having trouble . Here is what i have done so far . 2006 outlander 400 4×4 non charging battery . Checked fuses . multimeter hooked to battery terminals reads whatever the battery level is at with no change in voltage with engine rpm increase . Found gray plug with three yellow wires under handle bars ( not under seat ) . VAC between 15 and 50 from idle to near full rpm . Did the ohm test next ( not sure if i did it right or not ) set the meter to its lowest (20) ohm reading and everything fell to .09 to 1.0 . My voltage regulator is on the back and has 8 wires . one red one brown and the rest yellow some with stripes . Looks original . question ? Is it safe to assume its the voltage regulator ? Some things i have read says the regulator over charges when it goes bad . and should i do the up grade to the 800 with the harness adapter ? I can not find a original regulator that looks like mine . Most have less wires or is the up graded version . Cheapest i can find the upgrade is 263.00on ebay . Is there a cheaper option ? I’m pretty sure its not the stator . So any help that anyone could give would be great . Thank you .

I want a service manual for my 2015 outlander 650. Someone mentioned the Tech Sparks studio manuals. Before I order one I want get other people’s thoughts. Thanks.

Anyone use Map My Ride app on iPhone for GPS functionality? I want something that will trace my route and that I can save and pull back up on rides at a later date. I would like to add waypoints that I can use to describe things such as "go west here to get to Louie’s bar".

It is only $3, so much less than GAIA.

I had my gear box redone and it came back with a crack on the secondary side or left side by drive clutch? other than a new one does anyone have any options

Buddy of mine just purchased a 2015 Outlander L 450 and when he turns his machine on the dealer name where he purchased it is displayed across the digital dash. I purchased a 2016 Outlander L 570 and mine does not do this – purchased at a different dealer. We both have read our owners manuals and nothing is mentioned on how to remove or how to add/personalize to your machine.
I am assuming this might be something the dealer can do with there scan tools or dealer tools?
Just thought would ask the group if anyone has some input. Thanks
