Bought 2016 Sportsman X2 about a month ago. Rode 26 miles on Memorial Day, no problem. Took it out last Sat., and about 10 miles in, it stalled. Started up again, went about 100 ft and stalled again. Kind of sounded like I was running out of gas, even though I had at least 1/2 tank left. Let it rest, started up again, idle nicely, but when I applied throttle, engine started to stubble again and it stalled. Towed home. Took it to Polaris dealer yesterday, he said he found nothing wrong with it. Still on 1st tank of gas. Now I’m a little hesitant about going out again. Anybody seen this problem before and know it’s solution?
Note that we don’t do any major offroading when doubling, just mild hills and some mudding and its not all the time. I am wondering if there is a specific rear shock that would prevent too much squat when we do double up on the wheeler. I am afraid bumping up the shocks would make it a harsh ride when riding just by myself.
05 500 sportsman after running at 50 to 55 mph after like 1/4 mile it starts to runout of fuel, backfiring out the muffler and then starts back up, how do I check the output of the fuel pump?
What’s everyone think of the Moose utility front brush guard? I’m waiting to hear back if it’ll fit the xp1000,I don’t see why it wouldn’t but I’d like to hear it from them. If it does is anyone interested in a group buy,I did ask if they’d be willing to do something if I can get a group of guys to commit. Hopefully I’ll find out and can let everyone know what they’ll offer. If you are maybe just say your interested.
Hello everyone. I’m hoping to have some clarification on this…
I just got a 2011 550 Sportsman eps touring. I am slowly working my way through the fluids. Last night I changed the front differential fluid. The manual says that it should hold 9.3 OZ. The capacity was no where near 9.3 oz. I think it may have held closer to 5 or 6 oz.
Is there any difference in 2 cycle small engine vs 2 cycle injector oil?
Background, sold my ATV (400 2 stroke) which has been looked after for 20 years, always used Polaris 2 stroke injector oil. This ATV didn’t see mud or water,light work around the house, take kids for drive in the neighborhood…etc.
Young Lad I sold it too contacted me to say the engine seized on second trip on the bike, first trip bike worked "awesome", put some oil in it and seized while riding the second trip.
He says he put "2 cycle oil for small engines from a small container"
I told him up front when he purchased it, the in’s and out’s from a to z…again this bike was well taken care of. Manual went with bike when sold. He test drove the bike, his buddy did too.
So what is the difference between atv 2 cycle injector oil and 2 cycle small engine? Is this the cause?
So after my last bike was deemed totaled by the insurance company 4 or 5 months ago. I’m looking to get a new fourwheeler after the 20th. I haven’t decided if I wanna go the same route of buying a honda foreman brand new or go different brand or even maybe a Rubicon. I haven’t decided if I want new or used. I’m going to get the basic model nothing fancy. I wanna keep it simple. All the atvs I’ve bought used I knew the person well and so I figure they would be straight shooters with me. And they were. I might even end up with a side by side by the end of it. I go into a dealership and stuff grabs my attention so I’m kind of all over the place. I’ve been looking at atvs but never saw anything that I 100% wanted or thought the price was good. So any suggestions on what to get. My foreman I had 3500 miles on it in 2 years so it’s going to rack up a ton of miles quickly. I do trail riding, some mudding and some work. I would have to say 60% trail riding 20% mudding and 20% working. I pull a trailer every now then and then they trailer usually doesn’t get but 1000 pounds put on it and it’s a 14ft trailer. So any suggestions? I’m all ears. Also I want to be able to do at least 50 to 55 mph when I’m riding sometimes.
Hi, My name is Konstantinos. I’m from Greece leaving in Cyprus.
I currently have an Kawasaki Z800 motorcycle and I want to buy an Renegade x Xc also.
The reason I registered at the forum is because I seek some advises.
I heard some rumors about new regulations in Europe from 1/1/2017. The story is the following:
I visited the local dealer in Cyprus for Can Am to do some questions and I left a little confused. He told me that the regulation are changed and that from 1/1/2017 none off road vehicle will be able to registered as road legal. He told me also that all companies may make changes at the future to make possible the registration again but that will take 2 to 3 years or more.
Can you please delight me about this.
What is true and what is not?
What companies are planning for those changes?
My purpose to buy one, of course is off road but I want to be able to drive it at my area, or on the way to trails.
One other thing, the 570cc x Xc is enough for just having fun?
Last question, I know that Renegade is for one, but I have seen a lot videos on youtube with two on. I wanted to know if for a relaxed ride I can take a second person on with total 130kg both.
