Rear CV drive shaft

Does anyone know where i can get a drive shaft with CV’s rather than U-joints? I have seen them in the past for polaris just not Canam. I need to replace U-joints soon so this is the time to find them.

gen 2 hitch mods

Hi all, new to can am..have a 16 xmr 1000
The rear hitch stock set up has me bewildered…why would can am attach the hitch to the rear diff…looks like a cracked or derailed diff waiting to happen….has anyone made any modifications that they can share with me?

Or am I worried about nothing…using bike for hunting and pulling tandem axle trailer….says it can pull 1390 lbs but 50 or 55 lb tongue weight…when going up and over beaver dams and ruts, the hitch pressure will change and I am concerned……thanks. Guys!

ITP Terracross feedback?

Hey all…
I have a 650 outlander and thinking of upgrading tires soon. I had the ITP Terracross on my Honda Rincon 680 in the past and loved them. We live in NW Pa and see our share of all 4 seasons. I’m pretty much sold on the itp’s again, but want to make sure I’m not overlooking another good option. I see tons of pics of people with Bighorns and have also heard good things about Kendra bearclaw. Considering dirt commanders also but they seem like they’d be a bit of a heavy tire…
Please let me know any good feedback and options you all may have out there. Thanks a bunch.

Low oil error on 2015 1000

New 6×6. 600 miles. Got a flashing yellow engine and low oil pressure signal. I checked oil and it is full. Restarted and drove home with no problems and it’s still running fine.

Tried to search this site and it threw out "low" and "oil" as too short or otherwise unacceptable. WTF is up with that? All it kept was pressure.

blue smoke on deceleration

Hi all. I’ve been told in the last couple of rides that my 2004 Outlander 400 Max XT exhausts blue smoke when decelerating. When checking the oil level I’ve only had to barely top it up on occasion. Any thoughts as to why it would be burning oil on deceleration? Thanks.
