I just picked up my new Outlander Max Limited this afternoon. Everything is working great. It has 0.4 hours on the clock already.
Question: My machine stinks like burning oil. Maybe it is just manufacturing oils "burning off". I noticed the foam element in the air filter has been oiled with air filter oil, like K&N oil. Maybe that is being sucked into the engine.
Has anyone else noticed burning oil stink on their new Outlander?

Hey guys my name is Jesse, I’m from Yonkers, New York and today I bought my very first ATV. I purchased a 2007 Can Am Outlander 400 XT that I found on craigslist for what I thought was a good price. I have a few questions for some members of the forum, a couple of things I have to figure out to get my quad to 100%
Thanks in advance

I sold my Grizzly and my LTZ400. Still trying to sell my 700 Raptor; I think. I originally wanted the Scrambler 1000 but I’m concerned about where the air intake is and getting excessive amounts of water n ruining the engine on a $12.000 quad. I dig the Highlifter; a lot. I don’t care about the lack of fender coverage on the Scrambler but I like that the Highlifter is pretty set from the factory, doesn’t need anything, and it’s all covered under warranty. I could just add some racks to the Scrambler when I need to move stuff around for hunting. I plan on buying the 5 year warranty they offer so I want something I won’t have to modify much to be happy with, which is why I’m really leaning towards the Highlifter. Dealer says they’ll do $13,600 out the door for the Highlifter

First of all, Mods; feel free to move this thread if you fint it’s in the wrong section.
I recently installed a HMF swamp exhaust and optimizer on my 09 Grizzly 700, already equipped with a K&N drop in air filter /stock airbox. I tried the recommended settings and mode 1 (low throttle) is always pretty much too rich, but i can live with it, mode 3 (WOT) will be fine, but mode 2 (midrange) will be way too lean no matter what i do.. I have a brand new AEM wideband AFR , so it’s easier to keep an eye on things.
For fun i did a 25km run with the optimizer plugged in (temp was about -15 celcius) and my midrange was always above 14.7, hitting often 16+ even up to 18 (ouch) low range was plenty rich, high range was plenty rich also. I tried all possible options with the Mode2 (yellow light) from 1 to 8 no change. Next morning i checked my plug, it was too white for my liking.
The following day i did the same run without the optimizer, low and high end would be less rich, but always below 13.5 on my AFR gauge, midrange would always be over 14.7 but top at around 16, not good but less worse.. I will check the plug next time before i use it.
So usually when i trail ride i either have to go slow , or give it alot of gas to stay clear of the red zone.. When i ride on roads at around 50km it seems less worse in the midrange (still lean but not scary lean). i was running Regular 87 octane freshly filled fuel.
I did not play with any other settings other than the mode 1-2-3. I wrote to HMF this morning about my situation and i’m waiting for an answer.
I found a 2013 Sportsman 850 touring with 2,900 miles on it for $5,000 the owner said the engine was rebuilt 200 miles ago due to something plastic that broke causing the top end to be rebuilt. The motor has a warranty and the wheeler also has the big Wes rear box.
So should i buy the atv or should i steer clear due to the miles?
