ground clearance?

Took the trail out this weekend and did alot of tight trail riding. Had a great time but we high centered and drug bottom alot! Yesterday I adjusted the stock suspension up and it was noticeably higher but also a real stiff ride. I looked at a 2" lift or should I get some bigger tires to give a bit more clearance? Thanks for any input!

Hello from Canada!!

Hey guys and girls,

Just wanted to say hello to the community. Have been browsing the forums for the past few months. Been using the info to helm me decide what I wanted to buy.

I am a proud owner of a 2 week old 2015 rzr 900 eps bleufire!!!

I choose the 900 over the 570 because I wanted the torque and snap of a bigger motor and thst the 15 also had a very nice new look. I chose a trail cuz I wanted to go were the rest of my friends go. The trail system around me (Ottawa valley, Ontario) are fairly new and still under development so I want sure if they would adopt the 50" rule or not.

So far I have about 75km on it and love it. And just want to thank everybody who didn’t even know it but helped me decide on my rzr

Pictures and info to come

700efi rough idle then dies

I’ve got an 05 sportsman 700 with about 1000 miles that I’m having some issues with. I went for a ride the other day close to home since it hasn’t been started in a few years everything seemed fine so I kept going after getting about 15 miles from home I stopped turned it off for a few mins. When I went to start it it barely idled then sputtered backfired and died. It seemed to be starving for fuel. Long story short the only way I go it home was by turning it over then holding it wide open and it would go ok like that but the second I let off full throttle it continued to loose power until it rolled to a stop the spudered and died did this about 15 times and I was home. So I thought fuel pump or filter- no bypassed filter and checked fuel pressure at rail 40 lbs. next I dumped out all the gas put in new gas blew out the lines … Nothing so I changed the plugs and changed air filter… No difference… So I took the throttle body apart cleaned it pulled the injectors out to see if they had melted or something.. Looked fine… I checked voltage on the tps I have .48 yellow wire and it goes up as i press the the throttle. If I adjust the throttle cable it runs worse. I took apart the air flow sensor cleaned it. Nothing made a difference if I unplug the air flow sensor it seems to run the same. Except I get a code. Other then that I don’t get any codes and nothing I do seems to help. If it was the Bap sensor or the tps sensor that was bad wouldnt I get a code for it?? I’m leaning towards buying a new mass airflow sensor or whatever polaris calls it. Any help would be great.. Thanks in advance.

No Sway Bars – Shock Preload

I am pretty much brand new to the RZR community. Picked up my 570 in September, but in my neck of the woods riding is limited to the end of May through November. I have made a number of mods preparing for this spring and can’t wait to get out riding again.

After spending days…weeks…no…MONTHS scouring this web site, I am going to make the leap into removing the rear sway bars (I already removed the fronts). This is where I am really hoping for some feedback from those that have already done this. I realize preload settings vary greatly and are largely a matter of personal preference, vehicle, and riding conditions, but I would like to hear what works for you so that I get an idea where to begin.

I currently have a RT 2" lift with SATV springs on stock shocks. I think the springs are 150 lbs front and 225 lbs rear. Operator and passenger weights are somewhere around 450 lbs total, with about 100-150 lbs of gear. I ride in New Hampshire where the trails range from rocky and slightly technical to gravel logging roads. Speeds range from about 10mph to 30mph.

An input on a starting point for front and rear preload settings and advice is greatly appreciated!!

Advice on buying used outlander 800

I’m looking at possibly buying a used can-am. I found an outlander 2011 800r xxc for sale on Craigslist looks to be in good condition with 355 miles and 58 hours. It comes with the original wheels and tires plus a set of 14" msa’s with 28" Zilla’s with supposedly 50 miles on them. I don’t care for the wheels and that tire is definitely not for me. What do you think this is worth? He is asking $8100 obo, I’m thinking $7200 is a fair price.

What should I look for, anything that wears excessively? Any problem areas? Should this particular year or model be avoided?

Thanks guys

New to the site

I just got myself a 2015 outlander L 500 on thursday already put my 10 hrs breakin on it and have it in for it’s service lol $325 is a good hit to the wallet but after this i will be doing my own oil changes and just let them do the big stuff.

Small Coolant Drip @ weep – Cause for Worry?

Hey guys,

at 80 hours I pulled the engine, replaced the water pump seal, oil pump seal (behind water pump seal), removed stator cover, flywheel, and replaced main crank case oil seal. During the process I drilled out the weep hole, installed grease fitting with drilled out ball, and ran vent line off the grease fitting to keep crud from getting in my weep hole and ruining the seal.

I just did my first hard ride since the repair, and it was successful – 4 or 5 hours ride time. After cleaning the machine, I noticed a small amount of coolant in my vent line off the weep hole (the volume of coolant is about 3/4" long in 3/16" diameter clear vent hose for reference).

Would you be worried about this or keep riding it and see if it continues to accumulate before replacing the water pump seal for a 2nd time (it is not "pissing coolant" like most searches refer to?

My ride was in red clay which packed my motor, and my engine temperatures were consistently 195 – 205 degrees. A couple of times after turning the machine off and back on, the temperature were briefly at 220 degrees before fan kicked on. Search results indicate that if you do not let your engine idle with the fan running to cool the motor down, you can damage a seal from high temperature spikes.

Thanks in advance,

Andrew
