Just bought my first can am and I decided to go all out and got the XTP 1000.
The ride is amazing. It’s my first ever 4×4 as I always had race quads in the past. I do miss the lightweight of those quads and the manual shifting but I’m sure I’ll get use to this beauty!
Anyways, I’m here to ask some opinions. I’ve done a lot of research on this site and I couldn’t find a thread that related to my problem. I weight around 150-160 pounds and I did find the ride very stiff. I went for long rides today and adjusted on the go 3 different times. I started by adjusting the rear by putting the low speed compression to the softest settings. After, I did the other one at the bottom of the shocks at the softest as well. I love it when the rear is soft just as long as it doesn’t bottom out. I did the same with the front and I’ve noticed it was too soft as it bottomed out. Now I did twelve clicks going towards stiffness and for the low speed compression, I added half a turn on each side. Now the front is much better.
Just wondering if I should play with the shocks reload (like the springs) and should I even bother with the high speed compression? I’m not too sure about how it would change the ride.
I’m looking for a soft ride yet that can handle some rough riding.
I’m about to add a Yoshimura on this beauty as well. I want to gain as much power and find a way to get the maximum speed out of it.
If anyone is willing to share their time to give me suggestions, much appreciated.
I am trying to install a performance ATV snorkel on my 2009 renegade 800 I have the brass fittings on my air box but I don’t understand what is suppose to attach to the brass fittings?
Took the HL through its first serious hole a couple weekends ago and it failed miserably. Bad news, its been in the shop since. I finally get to pick it up tomorrow. After two broken winches and a skid steer almost tipping over to get me out, the verdict is a broken front axle and I shredded the belt. IMO for it being a "mud machine" and couldn’t handle the stress of one mud hole I am not a pleased customer.
Bought a 2014 700 eps with 50 hours on it a couple weeks ago. Great quad, I added a big gun Eco exhaust and 1" wheel spacers all around. Sounds goods and rides nice, also like the meaner stance. Probably will get a programmer and add a k&n. Also has a warn 2000 on her.
