DS 90…dead

Well it only took my 9 year old two years to destroy his 2012 DS 90. It has been a pain in the ass since the beginning. Gone thru 3 starters, rarely have the brakes worked, and rebuilt the rear end once. Out riding the other day, nothing intense just trail riding, and the case cracked by the front sprocket. Took the belt cover off and also noticed the secondary is loose like the shaft is broke.

Thank goodness can-am’s bigger four wheelers are built better than their smaller ones. I would never recommend a DS 90 to anyone. They’re junk.

Led light bar question.

First off I’m a new member. I have a 2011 Can Am 650 Max Xt. I have a 20" 126 watt led light bar that I will be wiring up Friday. That’s all the further I am going to be putting on it electrical wise. My plan is to get a add a circuit for the accessory fuse, use a 15 amp fuse and a 20 amp switch and run it from the fuse box on 14 gauge wire. Does this sound like to will work? I hear people talk about using a relay but I just wanted to do it simple and run it from the fuse box. Thanks!Attachment 48738

Polaris rear foot risers for 570 Tourings

So, according to the Polaris accessory site, the foot riser kit #2877919 fits a 2014 Sportsman 570 Touring…

3" Passenger Foot Risers | Polaris ATV Store
(See attachment for where they say it fits our touring models)

Of course when I go to order the part number via my local dealers website, the 570 Touring isn’t listed as model the kit fits. Against my better judgement I figured the Polaris site is probably more accurate and order it anyways. :smashfreakB: Definitely not the right kit! :laugh2: Sent an e-mail to Polaris yesterday, haven’t heard back yet. Just figured I’d spread the word, though I’m probably the only dummy that tried. :dunce:

Anyone else have luck with a different part number or product?

Bruin only goes 5mph

2005 Yamaha Bruin 350 4×4
I bought this bike about 3 weeks ago, when I purchased it the owner said that it had a carburetor issue because he had been through some deep water recently and he figured it just got clogged up on accident. (It’s snorkeled).
I bought the bike for a good price considering it wasn’t working correctly.

Since then, I’ve done the following:

  • Replaced belt
  • Cleaned out the clutch assembly
  • Inspected wet clutch/one-way (good condition)
  • Replaced carburetor
  • Painted plastics (I enjoy painting)

Now I am stumped. The bike will rev up high in neutral, and engage the Primary clutch completely.

But, when put in gear/reverse, it acts like it’s bogging or that it’s rev limited, causing the clutch only to engage enough to push the bike around maybe 5mph.

Suspected problems:

  • Reverse-Limiter somehow working in Forward

If anyone has any advice, I know these bikes are a close to identical to grizzly/kodiaks and any help would be appreciated.
Keep in mind, previous owner claims to have replaced all interior engine parts. Piston/rings, Valves, Timing kit etc. Due to timing chain stretching and putting a valve into the piston.

Runs like a top in idle, revvs great in neutral. Just won’t move in gear.

Greetings from Florida!

Just picked up my first Yamaha Quad, 2005 Bruin 4×4. When I bought it it had an issue of only being able to move about 5mph. It’s been 3 weeks and I have yet to diagnose the correct issue. It’s not wet clutch and not carburetor so I’m super stumped! Hopefully this forum and it’s members can help me figure it out so I can be out four wheeling again, really miss it!
