So I’m doing the 10 hr service on my ’15 Outlander XT and noticed some bolts have a yellow loctite on them. I’ve only ever seen Red or blue loctite. Is yellow equivalent to red or blue?
I also have a question on torquing. I see in the manual it will say for example 89 lbf?in + 9 lbs?in and 22 lbf?ft + 1 lbf?ft. Can someone put this in a english lol. I quests the part I don’t understand is when they say 89 lbf?ft + 9…. It’s in foot lbs correct? But what’s the + 9…. for?
Greetings all, been lurking for about a month now. picked up a 2004 outty 400xt for my daughter, and so far she loves it. She compares it to a fast moving Lazy-boy. I’m sure I’ll have a ton of ques. for the "Can-am Intelects" here.:th_smiliewavey:

Does anyone have a link or part number for fender flares that fit the 2015 touring 850? I have seen the ones on theatvsuperstore but i want ones that go over the fenders.
The link is for reference to the kind of flares i want.
Need help, is there a jet kit out there for a 2001 rancher 350 that will increase performance on this machine?? If so who makes a good kit and which one would work best.
Think I might of smoked the belt on m 850sp today. I was kinda stuck crossing a rocky Brook. Had it in 4×4 gave some gas and there was no wheel spin as the tires were in between two rocks, it rev and saw what was like a puff of a black black smoke. Ended up getting out no problem and finishing the trip with no issues(never used 4×4 the rest of the time). Went to back it into the shed when I got home in 4×4 and it seemed to have an almost hesitation/jerk to it like something was binding. I’m hoping it has to with a belt and not a torn up differential…?
Thanks!
So I took my machine apart today to paint the plastics . The stock red moulded plastic color was getting boring . So I got it on the lift , broke it apart , power washed everything then got the plastics down to my paint booth and onto stands . (I work for my self custom painting Harley’s ) I washed and skuffed everything with a PPG plastic prep skuff/sponge then a pre adhesion promoter wipe . Then I blew everything off and about 10 minutes later I tacked everything off . A few minutes later I busted out PPG’s plastic adhesion promoter . The 3 step kit that consists of skuff/ sponge , a wipe and an aerosol promoter designed for this type of plastic runs around $80 bucks through my PPG dealer . I then moved onto laying down a coat of epoxy primer , then deltron DBC burnt orange metallic from a Kia automobile . Lastly a little clear sealed it up . Keep in mind this was the basic model 2013 sportsman 550 that had zero factory paint finish like the eps models . If anyone wants to do the same I’ll get them part numbers for the right plastic prep stuff . The 850 eps wheels will finish this machine off right . It’s not assembled yet but will be by next weekend . Thanks for looking friends !! ????????
I’ve had my 2008 Rancher 420 for a a few months now and am stumped with the exhaust smoke.
My ATV smokes a little. It’s like a hazy smoke. It’s not at all thick and you almost have to look for it. Also, I only notice it when I’m giving the ATV throttle. At idle I don’t notice it or it goes away.
I’ve had the compression checked and haven’t noticed my oil or coolant levels change. The compression check came back good so I’m kind of stumped.
Every time I take it out riding it bothers me. The smoke/haze hasn’t gotten worse. I’ve put about 4 tanks of fuel through it so I’m sure it’s not fuel related.
My neighbor is also an ATV guy and told me that he thinks that it’s just burning oils out of the exhaust. Where’s do these "oils" come from and is it normal?
