Does anyone know of a good online source for ordering parts…

Perhaps a site that has diagrams so you can find the part numbers? I need to order the 2 springs and spring sleeves that go under the clutch (in the drive pulley shaft), along with the bearing retaining clip that goes in the one side of the bearing. Neither one of my "local" shops have them in stock and the closest one is still 30 miles away. I may as well order them online and get them shipped directly here.

Last but not least, can anyone recommend an aftermarket drive belt that is as good as, if not better than the factory belt??? They are pricey…so I’m wondering if there might be an aftermarket belt available at a cheaper price???

Thanks!

54W LED Light bar hookup ?

Have a 2010 650 outlander xtp and just bought a new 54W LED light bar I really don’t want to add another switch I like to keep the quad as factory looking as possible therefore my thoughts were tap into my high beam wire but after googling best way to wire this thing up I’m seeing a mix of people saying yes to do it and no not to. Would I really have a problem if I did it this way? How many of you have and haven’t had an issue? Another thing is the light only came as is no switch fuse or relay attached that’s what made me want to use the fuse attached to the headlights. Thanks for your help

Noticed different belt part# after service

I just took my 2012 Outlander 1000XT in for an oil change/ service today and had the dealer check out my belt and clutches. They greased the one-way, cleaned the clutches and installed a new drive belt. I kept the old belt as a spare as it looks pretty good and has 1700 miles on it. When I got home I noticed the old belt has a different part number (280 360) than the new one on my bill (715 000 302). Does anybody know why the part # is different? Is it an updated belt? How is it different than my stock one? I tried searching the forum but came up with nothing.
