Just bought a 2012 commander 1000xt and have questions!
There are a few minor problems from me rolling it that I am taking to a local dealer Tuesday to sort out.
Does anyone know what the hose in the attached picture goes to?
Also I need to order new high and low beams with the wiring harness. Where is a good place to get those. Google wasn’t really helpful. Thanks guys.

New here from Canada. Not new to forums though.
Figured I’d introduce myself.
I drive a 2008 outlander 650 xt. Have done a few minor things to it. ITP wheels and tires, rad relocate, 2" spring spacers, stealth snorkels, RJWC slip-on… 2-up, light bar, plow etc.. more comfort and practical driven.. but also balls to the wall when needed.
hope to learn more about it here.

2008 Sportsman 500 EFI starting issue
I am new to the forum. I own a 2008 Sportsman 500 HO EFI. About 4 weeks ago I was having issues starting my machine so I had the battery tested. The battery was bad so I had it replaced.
Tonight while putting my new battery in I started my machine, it would fire up but stall and back fire. I could hold the throttle down and this would keep it from stalling for a bit however eventually every time it would eventually loose power.
Any ideas on what could have caused this? I am planning on draining the fuel tomorrow in case I have water in my tank and maybe adding Seafoam.

Front struts
I have a 2010 sportsman 400 (hawkeye) and as I was working on the front end I took apart the front strut to test the shock absorber. Both were shot. I ordered used ones off eBay with their guarantee that they were working. The right one doesn’t at all and the left pretty poorly. I will deal with the company.
I don’t want to go through this hassle again especially as the bike is such an odd size, is there away to rebuild these myself and has anyone ever done it? They aren’t totally pouched they just don’t spring back but they still dampen the movement. I think I may just deal with shitty shocks and beef up the springs. New,each strut is 220.
