Picked up a 2008 400 outlander for my kids to ride. Its been in storage a LONG time. Has 80hrs on it, had the original 2008 battery in it. Sat outside for a couple of yrs but overall seems to be in decent shape. My question is what all fluids need to be changed on this thing? Im going to do front and rear diff and engine oil, is there a transmission oil seperate as well or will changing motor oil do the transmission? Foot brake has no movement in it whatsoever. How do I loosen that up so that it works? Anything else prone to go bad on these machines? First can am that Ive had. Thanks

Hi is there anyone out there who has owned a 2015-16 xp 1000 that now owns a 2017 ? My question is…does the performance mode have more jam then the 15-16 sportsman 1000? And by jam I mean more low end grunt (throttle response ). I own a 850 and had a scrambler 1000 and I’m still disappointed by the uncurable lazy low end of these machines. Still longing for a snappy throttle response from a Xp. Just hoping the 17’s performance mode has at least a bit more

although it’s snowy and Minus 28C, (from Canada) I am superstoked to be getting my new Defender XT 1000. Hoping this forum helps me find riding areas, helpful Advice and maintenance help!

Just picked up a 2000 Polaris Sportsman 500 RSE. Its gonna be needing some minor Work….. Well hope its minor… LOL

Surprised there isn’t a sticky for this but:
If you could suggest mods for a stock 570 from must-do to nice-to-have what would they be? This should cover the range of different people on the forums from people that just have the money to make their 570 a little better than stock, to the guy that has the coin to do whatever he wants to his. Additionally, please include any mods for the winch and plow. I understand that people have different uses/needs but let’s see what comes up.
Here’s my info:
I’m picking up a 2017 570EPS in sage green. It has the 2500 Polaris winch and the Polaris 60" steel plow with mount. I bought the front and rear rack extenders, a helmet, basic tow/recovery kit, and rubber winch stop. I’m using the quad for work on my property from snow plowing to moving firewood. I won’t do a bunch of mud riding or rock crawling, but will use it for hunting and basic trail riding. I want to add a tool kit (suggestions please)(don’t know if it comes with a decent one or one at all.?.?) I’m looking for some sort of tank or front fender bags, and will need a trailer of some sort. (Polar brand probably).
Thanks in advance! I know there are lots of you guys on here with tons of experience getting your ride the way you want it.

03 500 HO. This is the model with hub Hilliards as a reminder. Turns out that the passenger front wheel is not engaging. Went through a sand patch near the house and the driver side is fine….passenger side sucks at life lol.

Verified by putting it up on my quad stand. Sure enough, same thing happens. Pulled hub apart again (just serviced them) to clean and refilled with popo oil. On the lift it wants to engage and sometimes does at slow speed but when I feed in more throttle is disengages. Again, the driver side is fine. Yes it is getting power as I have watched the magnet engage the armature plate. Now i did find that the back side of the clutch cage is scored with deep uneven grooves like it wasn’t seating correctly. Below is a picture:

Since I have power I am assuming that the Hilliard clutch itself needs to be replaced. I did find a Billet cage on Amazon that uses the "guts" of the factory clutch. Fwiw I also noticed that the AWD light near the throttle does not light up. Perhaps a bad bulb? Thx for any help

So yesterday I came across some speakers I had bought a few years back as an extra set I bought for my bike and figured what better use than use them on my ace.

They are 5.25 boss Phantom Skull speakers. Nothing high end but as I said I’ve had a set of these mounted in my fairing for years now and they sound good, even at 80mph and I haven’t any issues with them.

I was originally going to build a set of pods and mount them facing forward on either side of the seat but I would much rather have them in front of me.

I decided to mount them in the lower dash/fender area. I haven’t set it done this way yet and I’m sure some will say it’s not the best place for them but I believe they will be tucked in high enough to never have issues hitting the tires,especially when I have the lift and spacers installed.

So after a few hours, some pvc end caps and a bit of aluminum I camp up with these:

And where they will be mounted:

The plan is to install the speaker from the inside of the cab and the pod from the back side and sandwich the fender in the middle. The pod will be held by four 1/4-20 bolts and an additional 4 8-32 screws the will hold the speaker in as well. I will be using loctite and sealing everything up as I go.

Next it to pick out an amp and go from there.
