I installed a new o-ring in my actuator and I had a heck of a time lining up the fork to the little shaft that engages the 4×4, I thought I had it as engaged it and the light came on. I went on a poker run on the weekend and the 4×4 did not engage, I think the light blinked a few times but that’s it. Any advice on getting the fork lined up to the pin would be great.
Thanks
blew a fuse today on my 800 outlander 2011, lost gauges power steering, winch etc, stopped machine and shut off and wouldn’t power back up checked fuses had a 7.5 amp gauge fuse blown, so my question what are the odds it was just time for it to blow. and it just happened. or am i most likely having a connection getting wet or something like that? i was playing in a water hole when it happened
I’ve read a few threads here regarding the shortcomings of BRP/Warn winches packaged with CanAm atvs. One of the common statements being, these winches are "dumbed down" to save cost. After reading that these units are not sealed (no o-rings/seals) I decided to tear mine down and clean it. This is what I found…
All but the freespool "knob" is metal construction. This was a suprise as I thought the end housing would be composite.
The internals of the winch are dirt/water free due to the seven seals/o-rings I found inside this unit.
I wiped down, inspected and re-lubed everything before assembling and putting it back in the bike.
While I’m happy to find this winch is of better construction than I’ve read, I’m left wondering why it’s being misrepresented. This winch is all metal where it counts and it is most definitely sealed.
For any who care I will post a link here to a chronological photo series of the disassembly/reassembly process as soon as it’s done uploading.
Was looking to add lights next to the main headlight. Not sure what will work or what will fit. I’ve been searching the net but haven’t found anything that looks like it would work. Could I add thelights from a regular outlander?
my 2011 800 outlander is having an issue starting all the sudden, was fine last time rode it about month or two ago. but heres what it does, turn key on push start button, turns over fires start for a second and dies, does it a couple time then start fine. almost ilke needing a carb job, but obviously not carbonated. once started it runs and idles like normal. just every couple time go to start it and it fires like starting like normal but doesn’t stay running just turns over fires like its gonna run like normal but dies. any suggestions?
Long story short i left the key on the bedrail of my truck and drove off, i found it an hour later but it had been ran over, i tried it in the bike and it seams to be working fine but i want to kno where the chip is in the key. The part of the key that goes into the ignition swithc was un damaged but the body of it is cruckes and what ever plastic thats under the rubber is broke. Im worried that the key might crap out at some random time. Any one else think so?
I have a 2013 Outlander xt 1000, I called a dealer to get the maintenance message turned off he said he could blah blah blah and did I get my first service done, I said yes I did it and he said have your valves been adjusted, I said no this is the first ive heard of it and he said that at the first service they need to be adjusted by a dealer. Have yall done this or got this done? How much out of adjustment were they? What did yall pay? Thanks in advance.
I have a 2015 Max xt 800, when i apply throttle I hear a knock that sounds like slop in the drive train. Is this a normal characteristic of this bike or should it go back to the shop?
