Sportsman XP 1000 Rear Hitch Bracket ??

I am purchasing a 2017 Sportsman XP 1000 November 1st. I plan on using a 2 inch ball to pull a trailer with the XP 1000. I was looking through the accessories on the Polaris Website and noticed that they sell a Rear Hitch bracket……but it does not refer to the XP 1000. Can someone tell me if this bracket fits the XP 1000, or do I have to order a different item number, and what is it. Or…..is a bracket even required for the Sportsman XP 1000??

Rear Hitch Bracket

***** I noticed when I was looking at the model on the floor that there were 3/4 holes drilled in a plate. I am not sure if you are to attach the rear hitch bracket to the existing plate…..or, the hitch ball attaches directly??

Rear wheel weights?

I’m going from a 4ft to a 5ft snow plow this year and want to add wheel weights on the rear wheels of my ’08 420 4×4 Rancher. I can find them for lawn tractors, but nothing for ATV’s. does anyone sell them or do I need to try and adapt some lawn tractor unit to fit the Rancher?

Clutch removal

OK looking for some advice. I am attempting to take off the back CVT cover plate and that entails removing both clutches. I got the proper tools for the clutch removal and had no problem getting both the clutches off except for the back sheave of the primary clutch. I just purchased the clutch puller for that, but when I screw it in and it bottoms out using my air wrench is will not screw in any further to release the back sheave. I don’t want to damage anything, is it supposed to be that hard on there? Any tips?

Removing grille on g2 outlanders

Just curious if anyone has replaced the grille and headlight mounting assembly on a g2? I ran into a downed tree hanging in the trail the other weekend so purchased a replacement since it blew out my right headlights. Just curious if I have to remove the top rack and front plastics or if it will push out where the radiator used to be (relocated to front rack). So far I’ve pulled 6 bolts and 4 retaining clips and it’s loose but won’t slide backwards. Any tips would be greatly appreciated, thanks!!

Radiator fan/Over heat problems

What’s up guys. I’m new to this forum and the can am world.

I have a 2013 Can Am commander 1000 and last weekend I was riding in hot temperatures and shortly after the ride began I noticed my temp gauge was maxed out. My ride was in limp mode also. Now I hadn’t been riding it hard but was playing a little. After I had stopped I noticed the fan would come on but would not stay on long even with my temp running full bars. I wired the fan straight to the battery to get fan to stay on and after an hour of sitting and adding water (or what little water it would take) it finally started to cool off. Rode it after that to get wind circulating through radiator and it got hot again after no piece of riding.

Now I thought maybe it just needs a new fan. It took WAY to long for my ride to cool off after it had gotten hot, and while I’m not familiar with the can ams much yet, I know that it wasn’t normal to take that long. Thought about getting a new fan and toggle switch to keep fan on entire time I’m riding. What do you guys think?

So here she is & Operation Big Bore has officially commenced……
