Help w/ STM Secondary

2008 Renegade X with VFJ primary, 27" Bighorns, ride almost 100% trails in Colorado Mtns.
Looking to order an STM secondary and am having trouble choosing the proper helix. Anyone have a similar setup with a good working helix choice and amount of shims.

And if anyone is wondering, the VFJ completely transformed my 800, pulls my brothers 1000 and buddies 1000 Scrambler by a length or two off the start then they SLOWLY begin catching up.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Burnt transmission?

Just my luck, headed to HMT at the end of the month and decided to change the fluids. Oil and different were fine, Trans different story. I removed the fill plug then the drain plug and barely anything came out. The crap that was on the drain plug was a real thick sludge felt like grease. Of course on the drain plug was some metal attached to it. Mind you that the bike was ridding great before this no issues what so ever. Tried to add some fluid just to help with the lubrication till I can get it fixed but the damn fill hole won’t except anymore fluid. Anybody have this happen before? How long do you think it will last. I HAVE to go on this trip as quite a few friends are counting in me. I know no one can predict the future but do you think it will last till I get back? Was also thinking about trying to slam some ATF in there since it has all the detergents in it maybe that will help clear it up but then again could screw more up as well. Suggestions please!!!! Thanks all!!

Fan switch void my warranty?

So for the second time I have to take my 2013 Remegade 500 into the dealer to get my ignition fixed. I was just wondering if my fan overide switch will void any warranty. It is placed right next to the ignition so that is why I am asking. Thanks in advanced!

new 2013 renegade

A dealer close to me has a brand new 2013 Renegade XXC and now I have an 09 Renegade with 3000 miles on it and would like to get a new one. Whats the new 2013 worth and is the 2013 any different than a 2015? I also worry about the black plastic on how bad will it scratch?

QSC selling a couple machines

Was at the QSC incubator this afternoon getting a truck load of stuff and Adam said they are selling a couple machines. I didn’t have time to get all the details but I know one is his wife’s Renegade race bike. Still all decked out and set up to run. if you’re interested you can call them or me and I can get you info on them. Their number is 715-760-0279 and ours is 651-500-0657.

Sorry I don’t have more info, but was in a hurry and figured I’d let you all know there’s a couple of killer machines out there for sale.

High mileage 800

I’m looking at getting a 2009 800 with over 10000 Km’s. It seems well maintained with new bearings and u joints. Should I be worried about the mileage? I haven’t confirmed the hours but he said 170. Which to me is impossible and he must be mistaken. Doesn’t seem to be a mud machine and it does have a plow which worries me. Would think that would add hours.

Any comments would help. Thanks

Cool Renegade Storage

So I haven’t had my Gade for that long, but so far I love it! though, if there’s one thing I would really appreciate Can-Am to add would be a storage box of some sort, there is absolutely no storage on the gade, I mean even the Scramblers have a small storage area under the taillight (So did G1 Renegades, I believe). Can-Am, if there’s anything to add to the Renegade is a small storage box like G1s had, It would be really helpful.
Anyway I decided to add this small storage box onto the rear grab handle, I got the box from a Golf Cart store, the hardware to mount it from Lowes: clamps, screws etc.
All I did was put 2 clamps around the grab bar and screwed into the box, then tighten it down with some wing nuts (For easier removal) I also had to put a locking mechanism on, as the box would probably fly open while riding without it.
Overall I’m very happy with the finished product, it doesn’t look too out-of-place and has decent amount of storage.
