This morning while plowing cab;e snapped… ProVantage 2500. 3/16" Cable. I am going to try and fix myself. Cut cable, put on new ferrule then crimp, but nobody around has the crimping tool I need. Just small ones. Has anyone here crimped without a crimping tool? Also, what is the best approach for cutting the cable to minimize fray. Thanks!

Maverick X3 gets stretched out to the MAX

BRP unveiled a new four-person flagship Can-Am Maverick X3 MAX side-by-side vehicle tonight in Reno, Nevada, furthering its push to reshape the super sport market segment. The game-changing Maverick X3 MAX vehicle features the same sophisticated blend of defiant design, precision handling and exceptional power the two-seat Maverick X3 vehicle delivers, but also presents new levels of comfort and control to the multi-passenger segment of the off-road market.

The two-seat Maverick X3 side-by-side vehicle has established itself as one of the off-road industry’s most appealing off-road vehicles from its initial launch. It has received high praise and elite recognition from the press, earned victories on the most famous race tracks and is more and more chosen by the off-road enthusiasts, further proving its performance and elevating the showroom experience for customers and dealers alike.

I made my own DYI snorkel for 850 XMR. Thanks to other forum members pics and instructions, I was able to get all my parts from Lowes and HomeDepot. All in all, took be about 10hrs from start to finish.

Best part is I can remove the pod and have full access to fuse box if I need to.

Cost: $90 CAD.

More photos in my google album: https://goo.gl/photos/269ZJjps7himPtRo9

No ABS/PVC glue where the pipes coming out. Just very tight fit. I can remove the pipes anytime with some elbow grease.

About 0.25" clearance on both sides:

Other Mods that did not break my bank:

9" LED light bar (mounted to lower front bumper. No drilling into frame/bike. Used lower bumper mounting holes. Been submerged many times. Waterproof switch mounted on handle bars. All wires connected direct to 12v supply with seperate 10amp fuse.
TIP: I used crazy glue to seal rubber sleve to switch for 100% waterproof. All parts form eBay.
Cost: $45 CAD

Phone GPS mount
I used 1" RAM Mount ball) mounted on custom aluminum plate underneath the cover + X-GRIP with USB charger (eBay). I used it on my Grizzly and it holds the phone solid. Even on bumpy rides. Phone will be protected in waterproof case.
Cost: $30 CAD

KFI Tiger Tail (Canadian Edition – black)

Next:
Yamaha Grizzly style dry storage. Will be mounted on right side front fender. I am waiting for parts to come in. I will post photos once I install it.

New User from MN. Purchased a 2013 Honda Foreman 500 off of eBay. It’s been a nightmare. Legal Bill of Sale contained no info. Found VIN under winch. VIN had a hole thru 4 of the 17 digits. Trying to find the engine model number, but not having any luck. Any astute individuals out there that can point me in the right direction to find that model number. When I spoke with Honda they said it might be on a metal plate or engraved into the motor. I’m thinking IF it’s a metal plate, that may be gone as well, since they did fine work on the VIN. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

I am in looking for 1 or 2 polaris big boss 6x6s have cash will travel if price is right and bike is clean.

So I know the ’15 1000s have the hot exhaust issue and mine was apparently manufactured after the recall. So it should already be done. I know that’s been beat to death on here so I wont go into that. However I was out riding the other day and had it out for a good hr or so of constant riding. Started to smell coolant every once in a while and when I did the temp was at 199-200. This happened several times. Seeing as it was close to first service I went ahead and took it to dealer. Got a call today saying they couldn’t find anything. Just wondering if this just might be due to engine break in? All the fluids seem to be normal and can’t see any sign of over flow or leakage.
