Hey everyone.

I want to wish all the dads of these boards a happy Father’s day. Y’all have a great day and post up any pics of fun you might have.

I have had my sportsman for about a year now and have got stuck once in a creek bed full of gravel. Bottom line is I want to go up in size slightly but keep my stock wheels for now. Now the decision is 26 or 27. What are your opinions. I don’t do a load of bogging but some times find my self in a good hole and I do some decently hard core trail rides. Also what size spacer will I need to accommodate the tire size. I have been looking at the Sedona ripsaw…zillas… And big horns any advice would be great

I found this over on the RZR forum. GPS tracking device for anything. It will operate on a battery charge or can be hard wired. After initial purchase, the service is free for one year and then 5 bucks a month. Guys were talking about using them on their toys, trailers, kids cars, etc. Pretty cheap insurance. Especially for guys having to store their machines outside or park them outside like we do on trips. It will also work inside an enclosed trailer. It’s "somewhat water resistant" so I’m thinking it would need to go inside the fender storage or sealed trunk on our Grizzlies but that’s doable. Wires could be discreetly run to either location for hard wiring.

They did a group buy over there for 100 per unit. FYI…. If purchased individually, they said to put it in your shopping cart, fill out the info and then abandon the transaction. You’ll get an email the next day offering you 20 bucks off.

Was doing some clutch maintenance and noticed the cam/helix in the secondary clutch had some small chips on the tips. Is it necessary to replace it? The wheeler has almost 2500 easy miles so there isn’t much wear other than the chips.

I currently have the CVT belt out of my outlander L450 in order to do the 300 hr service.
The whole assembly is spotless with not even a tiny bit of mud or rubbish in the works and the sheave faces are also spotless. Just like new. I’m really wondering if it is worthwhile at this stage to pull the whole thing totally down in order to regrease the bushes as per the service requirement. I’m thinking, leave it for another 300 hrs and do the re-grease then.
The recommended lube is topas NB52. The cost here in Oz is about US$50 per 50g delivered! That is about 70 of our "proper" dollars!!!! A bit over the top I think. Are there gold flakes in that stuff? My feeling is that that lube is specified because of the very low min op temp capabilities. Like -45 deg C. That is understandable for you North US guys, but that is colder than even the inside of my freezer! The lowest we get here would be +4 deg C (about +35 deg F) so we don’t have the need for such a grease. Or even heated hand grips!
So, I was thinking of using a normal top quality Lithium grease (say Liplex EP2)
What do you techo guys think?
