i miss can ams :(

Sooo i had a can am and switched to a 570 polaris. I feel the power is not enough. im thinking of getting an 850 or 1000 outty. problem is I do a lot of technical climbs – reason I went polaris. Im a bit worried the QE will throw me off on rock crawling

do you guys have any experience in this? would I notice a difference? or for this type of stuff maybe get a polaris 1000 for AWD.

I love the power of can am – esp when I used to mud. I dunno what to do guys :th_smiliepissed:

Never ending 686 project

So i have a grizzly that started life as a 2002 660 . I have owed this old girl for about a year and a half. Through that time she has started to show her age, and so my project began to surpass her former glory and show up the new model 700’s. I went right for power, making her a 686 with mudbuster cam, clutch kit, jet kit, bigger pilot jet,and opened up the exhaust. Added some gas shocks too. After the planets alighning and lots of trial and error adjusting she was running to perfection with crazy amounts of power. My friends who have 700’s are envious of her. Well everything was going great until this weekend when i went on a trip to maine. It was 90 degrees out and the old girl started overheating every 20 minutes. So i am embarking on a new venture which seems to be uncharted waters, and will be retrofitting a upgraded 700 grizzly 3 cell radiator and fan to her. Has anyone heard of anyone doing this before?

Spark plugs 2016 outty 1000.

I’m planning on changing out the spark plugs when I do my first 50 hour service as well as new engine oil and filter. The manual states ngk LMAR8D-J as a replacement plug. It also shows ngk DCPR8E as a replacement plug as well for the 570 and 650. I bought 2 of the ngk LMAR8D-J plugs and the diameter of the plugs are very skinny not like a standard plug….Can anyone confirm if theses are indeed the correct plugs for a 2016 outlander 1000. I’m gonna attach some pics for reference. Thanks.

Questions for anyone running Mrrpm Maverick heads on a 1000atv.

Hi,

I’m curious if there is anyone out there running mrrpm maverick heads and his drop in cams on a 1000atv?

What kind of numbers are you making with this combo?

Any issues with the heads? Are they quality pieces?

These heads/drop in cams/and larger TB would appear to be the standard hot rod go fast goodies with larger valves/better flow. However, I would like to go with a proven combo, so would like to hear anyone’s experience.

What the heck just happened?

Hi everyone,

I’m stumped and could really use some advice.

Today I installed a new solenoid and new fuse in my 86 TRX200SX. It worked GREAT! All lights worked, electric start worked, neutral and reverse on the handlebars worked….

Took it for a little spin. All of a sudden it sounded like the starter was stuck…it kept firing like it was trying to start…although it was already running.

I had to disconnect the battery to get it to stop. Then I connected the battery, checked the fuse (it’s fine) and now electric start doesn’t work. I have no neutral/reverse lights, no headlight and no tail light. What in the heck happened? And how to do I fix it? I was so stoked to have it working…and now this. 🙁 I’d really appreciate any advice you can lend…all I can think of is the regulator? Or am I way off base?

Thanks!
Annie
