I’ve been doing more general maintenance on the Traxter now that it’s in working order. One on my list is removing the spark arrestor on the exhaust, and has been an absolute pain to get out. I tried with a normal box wrench, and stripped part of it out. I then tried vise grips and still giving me trouble; even after shooting WD-40 up and around it. Anyone got suggestions? I’m sure PFPKD3 has some input on this matter. Thanks!

Hey so just started browsing as i’m in the market for a new quad and came across this forum and what seems to be a lot of issues with the 2016 model year after the redesign.
1. Cold starting issues which is due to a compression spring which after the recall does this fix that issue? Im in northern Canada so this is a big deal to me.
2. air filter allowing dirt past, and I haven’t seen a solution to this issues yet…
3. Smoking on start up, which I still don’t know what causes this and what the remedy is.

So should I not buy a 16? i’ve owned an 08 and had no issues with that but no longer have it, but seems these 16s are not worth buying if its this much of a hassle.

I’m looking for skid plates for my G1 Outlander Max. Seems like the top 3 choices are Ricochets, IronBaltic (HDPE), or BRP skids.

I was ready to pull the trigger on some IronBaltics HDPE skids. Then I learned that Riccochets are made just 4 miles from where I work. (No Shipping!) Now I’m considering picking up the ricochets, and slapping a thin sheet of either HDPE or UHMW on top of the aluminum. Seems like it’d be the best of both worlds.

Has anyone done this with their aluminum skids?
Any reason why you wouldn’t?

Thanks.

New here, not new to the atv world as far as tuning an engine work goes in fairly decent. Clutching little rusty yet, got a grasp on it more with sleds. Hoping lighting is okay for now an does what I want it to do. I have 2 miles on it as I bought it last weekend. Snow still on the ground in my area. Got this more for mud nationals in hill city at quadna mtns had a blast there last year.

So I’ve been seriously considering the idea of getting a cvtech primary clutch for my 15 renegade 1000 xxc. Stock motor, 27 bighorns. Aggressive trail is my normal use.

Will this clutch do a lot for me? Or is it really just for large tire changes? I’m reading that it puts the power to the ground better, but it’s hard to beleive it is THAT much better than the oem clutch.

Is it worth the $600?

Took the left rear bearing carrier off to grease the wheel bearing since I bought the Machined Integrations greaser. They work real good.
My problem is, when I put the lower control arm bolts in, the upper part of the carrier doesn’t come close enough to get the top bolt in. What am I missing or doing wrong? :banghead:

Hey guys, I’ve got an older sportsman 400 2 stroke that’s giving me some fits. Sometimes, generally on an older spark plug, I can’t get it to shut down. Turn the key off or hit the kill switch and it just stumbles a bit but keeps running. It’s done this for as long as I’ve had it. Just recently rebuilt the top end, new key switch, swapped exhaust for a low hour used system, and new reeds. I’m at a loss as to what could be causing this.

Anyone have any ideas?
