I’m new!

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.

Any advice would be great.
Thanks.

Relays!

Okay so have yall evern wondered how relays work? Well imgoing to teach you to the best of my ability.
First, what is a relay? Basically its using low volts to control large volts (ex. Starter solenoid switch) all it is is a electromagnet that whem activated flips a switch. They keep high voltage away from the inside of a car or the handle bars of an atv.

Second, on a relay you have 5 pins, confusing right? Not if you know what they are.

Terminal 85- the relay ground (youd wire it like a regular ground)
Terminal 86- the trigger terminal(where the electricity that controls the electromagnet goes in)
Terminal 30- the terminal that goes to the wire that supplies power to the "load"
Terminal 87a the terminal that normally has power coming from it (in the example of a fuel pum relay you could wire a light that is on when your fuel pump is off)
Terminal 87- the terminal that supplies power to whatever you are powering. Is off when the relay IS NOT on (electromagnet is not powered)

Hopefully this helps people!!!!:smile::smile::smile::smile::smile:

My Polaris is STALLING!!

My 2009 Polaris sportsman 300 is carburetor driven and it usually runs fine but lately if I keep my thumb on the throttle it will run fine but if I let it go completely off the throttle it will stall out… I put a new spark plug but it did not help… I have lines running off it so it can breath under water but idk why it keeps on stalling please help

Polaris sportsman engine chain slipping!

I was riding in the creek on my 2009 Polaris sportsman 300 and I hit the corner of a rock and it jolted the atv side ways into the water and the snorkels went under but only for about 30 seconds… When I tipped it back up i tried to start it and the chain was off the cam shaft… I know it was and still is because it happened before.. But the chain does not just fall off like that… Please help me find a way to prevent this or fix it please!

07 Outlander 800 XT Electrical Problem

My girlfriend picked up an 07 Outty that looks like it has been pretty well taken care of. We picked it up on Friday night and when we went to start it up on Saturday morning it would not start. The instrument cluster will light up once every 5 times the key is turned to the on position but, when you hit the start button everything goes blank. The same is true about the winch button.

I went and had the battery tested and it tested good. I put my renegade battery in the outty and it acted the same way. I checked all the fuses.. all good.

Does anyone have any advice on where to start on tracking down the problem?

Thanks,

Jake

New tire HELP PLEASE!

Hello! I guess let me start by making it known that I am a total newbie to the Utility ATV world! I am coming from a Yamaha Raptor 700R and recently purchased a 16 Grizzly SE. I am looking to change the stock tires and I know the front tires and rear tires are different sizes. I am looking at a set of Interco Swamplites in either 28" or the 29.5". I would like some opinions on which size would probably be the best… IF the 29.5" would even fit??… Also, how do you choose the difference in the front tires and rear when going up in size? You wouldn’t want to order 4 tires that are the same size would you??… All answers are greatly appreciated!! I mainly ride hard pack trails and the occasional mud hole and creek crossing. Thank you again for any input!!
