2016 Highlifter 850 Axle Replacement

So I’ve been browsing around for a replacement axle that isn’t the HTE outlaw (240$) from highlifter website
But no one seems to have in the details of the axle that it specifically fits the "2016 highlifter 850".
Can anyone verify what other sportsman axles will fit our bikes?
Thanks,

Northern Alberta riders, maybe wait for some rain

There’s several large, out of control forest fires burning near Fort Mac, Red Earth and High Level. There are hundreds of other small fires burning around the province. There’s a brush fire 7 miles north of my house that’s into the peat moss and they can’t put it out. This is the earliest fire season I can remember here. I was going to post about a quad rally near Kinuso this weekend but it’s been postponed due to the dry conditions. Normally I’m not too concerned as we are pretty careful to check our exhausts for fires and we’ve never had an issue. I used to always figure they are exaggerating when it comes to their warnings. But it’s f*cking dry this year. Be careful.

Clicking in left rear

It’s a 2013 grizzly 700 with only a 120 miles on it.Clicking in left rear so it sounds anyway!
Only makes the sound at slow speeds while turning and I can feel it in my left foot. I have replaced the left bearing and complete CV axle. Also drained the diff oil and it was perfect (no metallic)!
Any help would be appreciated!

Rival skid plates?

Does anyone have any experience with rival skid plates for the grizzly?

Looking to add full skid plate package to my 2014 700. Lots of info about the ricochet plates here, just looking for some other options.

Best price I can find for the ricochet plates up here is $655 before tax and shipping. The rivals can be had for $519.

Sustained high RPMs

Hey guys got another question for y’all.
I’m about to get an outlander 800 and I’ve been doing some research and part of that leads me to a lot of videos of people muddling. In these videos these people (what sounds like) are at full throttle for sustained periods of time to get through a mud hole or whatever. Are these four wheelers designed for this? Or do they just not care? I come from a motocross back ground and you don’t normally hit the rev limiter for any period of time. So when I see it I cringe and expect for the four wheeler to just blow up. What do you guys think?
