Powersteering troubles. 2014 1000xxc.

Recently my dps check light came on. I looked around at the wires and found them rubbing onto my plastic valve cover in between the snorkel I installed. I do the rubbed off cables and separated them and re soldered them. I plug it back in and the power steering works. Just pulls one way really hard. Do I need to have it recaliberated. I believe there’s magnets within along with something that tells where the stem is set at zero degrees. Or do I need to have the wires soldered just right so it gives it the perfect amperage and voltage to the power steering? I looked at the electric motor built within and everything seemed normal. Any ideas? I’d take it to my local dealer but they’ve screwed me and others over before and they’re just a bunch of clueless parts replacers anyway.

Overheating

So these last few rides have been the first rides of done with the gade in spring summer conditions. All the rides previous were in the winter. Now I know it’s very important to keep these rads clean etc. But on Sunday, radiator was mostly clean I would say. I was getting steady hi temp coming up. I’ve read a few things and does the radiator being slightly dirty really make that much of s difference? Does having a week rad cap effect it? How often should I remove fan to really clean the radiator well? Thought I would be able to avoid the mud. But after getting the 27s reptiles on there I just can’t help
Myself lol. Maybe time for a rad relocate? Also could there be a temp sensor issue etc?

4×4 possibly not engaging

I was racing this past weekend and thought that my 4×4 was not working properly. I would be going up smaller hills that were somewhat slick and would end up almost not making it to the top. I would be on the gas, then would have to feather it to get traction (like I would on my sport quad). I thought it was doing the same thing a few weeks ago at another race. My actuator sounds like it is engaging and the 4×4 light comes on and off. Any way to check to make sure it is actually in 4×4. This is my first year racing a Can Am 4×4 so sorry if the question is basic.

Gade xxc 1000

Im trying to decide either 27" or 28" Mega Mayhems, id like 28"if they don’t hit anything at a fast trail pace…Also w 28" will I need a clutch kit (qsc/stm) ? :yahoo:

Clutch Kit Options

What’s up guys, I put 28×14 mega mayhems on my 2011 800 Rene and opted not to buy a clutch kit just to see if I’d need it or not. After riding for a couple weeks I’m thinking that I wanna buy a clutch kit to wake the bike up a bit, I added an RJWC slip on (mainly for sound) and I’m running their programmer as well. The tires just seem to be too heavy and I’m thinking a clutch kit is what I need. Any recommendations?

engine noise thoughts again with diff video.

Hi all,

A few weeks ago I posted a video of my bike to get an opinion on engine noise. I have now managed to get another video at idle when cold and also revving it. As you can hear by the video the slap sound goes when I rev it. If you guys could listen to the video and see what you think( I know I’m annoying):th_smiliefrustrated so then I could decide what I need to do.

Thanks :thumbsmilie:
