Just bought my first ATV. It’s a bombardier ds650. The ATV has been sitting for about 5 years. What are the things I need to do to make sure I don’t do any damage before starting. Thanks

I have just got Outlander L 450 MAX

Hi guys

I am new here. I have just purchased a new Outlander L 450 max. And i am a first time atv owner. What do you think about this ATV? Some people told me arctic cat was better than this one but i didn’t listen to them. The one they have recommended was 700 cc.

I am having some troubles i thnk and have some questions. Any answers are greatly appreciated.

1. I hear some sound / noise coming from tires is it normal? Like something is on them.
2. It is not easy to shift / gear
3. It is not fast. I understand it is not a scooter or etc. But I believe it should be faster
4. Middle is very hot. My legs burn 🙂
5. Shall i use 2 or 4×4?
6. What is H and L on gear?
7. And what do you think about this models?

Thank you so much 🙂

Check engine/limp mode

I have a 2012 outlander 800. After driven for about 5 miles, the check engine light flashes and Limp home mode message comes on. It seems to still run normally. Shut off and restart and all is fine for a few miles. One time the light came on at idle at the same time the radiator fan kicked on. Then the fan seemed to flicker on and off. Anybody else ever have this condition ?

2015 xmr 1000 project

Well going from my renegade 1000 down to an outlander 800 it was a matter of months before I had to go back up to a 1000 and stop being in denial of the 800 being enough power lol
I will be modding the new machine as I do to all my toys so I will post pics and updates as they happen because I’m sure like most others here I enjoy checking others rides and mods

2005 400 melted headlights

Does anyone know what could have caused my headlight to melt? The bulbs did not burn out. I just have two melted round spots the size of small golf balls in the center of my headlights. If it was a voltage regulator, wouldn’t the bulbs of burnt out or a "fail" message on the odometer? Any advice would be gratefully appreciated. I don’t want to purchase new headlights just to have the same thing happen agian.
