Hi Guys
I bought my 2011 850 xp with 400 miles from a guy that weighs about 400 pounds, is it possible that the springs are shot already?
The reason I ask is I am on the 3rd from the top preload and the sag is at least 3-4 inches in the rear and 2 inches in the front. I dont want to crank them up and get a rough ride in order to get my clearance back.
Should I crank them up or replace them and if so which springs to do you recommend?

Thanks

So Ive been stranded three times now with the XP850 kicking into limp mode due to temp. The bike does not overheat and is fine after about an hour sitting off.

I can ride the bike for an hour or so before it does it and normally happens when going through deep sand or struggling through something thick. The fan works, thermostat was replaced as was the temp sensor switch, I also replaced the fan. Im thinking it has to be electrical a breaker or fuse not cycling the fan enough or something. Water pump maybe? It is circulating fluid……so prob not. Plugged into computer for error codes and it shows nada! Dealer has no idea. I dont think there is any air in the system but it started doing this before it was taken apart for the thermo, and fan.

Anyone have any ideas?

When starting the fourwheeler. Is the clutch suppose to engage slightly?

When I look at the primary clutch, on startup the clutch engages slightly (1/4") towards the belt? Then when I shut it off, it releases out.

Not sure if this is normal. My engine RPM is 1150 – 1200.

Picture doesn’t show any gap. This is just for illustration purposes.

2013 sportsman 850 with 28" zillas

Just put the kit in and now finally it will pull a wheelie with no leaning back or pulling on the bars.

But it takes a little while for the rpms to come up then it will come right over if u don’t let off a bit.

Question should I crank up the engagement?
Currently thin shim is in 1800 engagement.

Hey guys need some help with some upgrades I have a 14′ 850xp It has 28" mega mayhams on stock wheels. I’m thinking about ording a qsc clutch kit. I want to do a rad relocate and a snorkel kit and was wondering if you had a suggestion of companies to go with also if you have any pics of yours. Also I’m looking to add little things like a new shifter grip and a led light bar. Any suggestions would be great

Just wondering if anyone else feels resistance in their steering when in awd. In 2 wheel drive everything feels normal and when I switch to awd it automatically feels like it’s staying in 4 wheel drive all the time. I thought it should only kick in when something starts to slip. It feels the same weather I’m on dirt or pavement( yes I know I shouldn’t be in all wheel drive on pavement) Is this normal?

I have an 09 550 XP which I recently installed 30x9x14 Silverbacks all the way around on the factory wheels along with a 2" SuperAtv lift and HighLifter springs, the bike has no problem spinning these tires whatsoever and does not feel unresponsive or sluggish but since these tires weigh about twice what the stock Terrathons weigh (40lbs/tire) I was wondering should I install a clutch kit or are there any tweaks for the factory system that can be done or will I be alright with the factory set up, any input is appreciated, thanks
