Outlander XT

Does the Outlander have an existing rear differential, or is it solid?

A buddy of mine says his Polaris Sportsman has a rear differential so he can run it on grass. As soon as he shifts to 4WD it locks the rear. I couldn’t challenge because I wasn’t sure.

Outlander L 500 key differences?

I have a new 2015 Outlander L 500 and just read someone talking about a learner key that gives less power, is this the case for the L 500? I have two keys with mine, one has a black rubber BRP grip and the other is just plain silver, both ends of the keys look identical.

Also, I can’t seem to find the RPM view on the digital display. I’ve cycled through the settings on the button to the right of the display and it only seems to have MPH, hours, miles and a clock. Any ideas? This is the non DPS model if that makes a difference since I’m pretty sure I saw digital RPM view on the DPS model. I would also like to change the digital greeting message and be able to turn off maintenance notifications since I plan on doing them myself, surely there’s a way to do this without taking it back to the dealer like a plug in I can buy from somewhere to program it? Does it have to be the same BRP dealer that I bought it from? They’re over an hour away from me and there’s a local Honda/Polaris dealer close to me, would they be able to change the messages if I can’t?

It’s ridiculous of how much small stuff the dealership tries to milk money out of people with.

Power Commander FC (Fuel Controller) GEN 1 800r

Just pulled the trigger on a PCFC for my 2011 800r Outlander that I will be running with the mods in my signature. I planned on going the Dobeck blinky box route originally but for the same price, the PCFC seemed like the best bang for my buck. A few CMR racing buddies of mine steered me in this direction. You can load any PC map on it and change which map you would like on the fly. Anybody using this programmer?

Clutch Crawling In Gear

Removed my QSC and disassembled the one way, cleaned it and re lubed with isoflex put her back together. I ran great for 10 minutes but now she is hard to shift and it crawls in gear, a bit of squealing too. The interior of the housing is spotless, some thing hanging up???:th_smiliepullhair:Cleaned the STM secondary while I was there as well thoughts?
