noisy starting 2005 predator 500

changed the starter clutch. had a sheered keeper wafer. now it turns over but is very noisy (sounds horrible) but turns over and starts sounds like metal grinding like teeth skipping but all gears look great and all new starter clutch parts. and seems to get some kick back from motor. would a low battery cause the one way bearings to disengage? or the after market CDI cause the kick back that it seems to be having. all help appreciated.

Anyone have Quadrax experience

I’m just wondering if anyone has used the quadrax brake conversion kit. It looks a lot like the highlifter kit. It has dual piston calipers (that don’t float)….. I can get a good deal on these thru a buddy of mine but I’m not sure how good it is compared to the superatv kit….

Thanks

Air filter preference

We will be picking up a couple of 2017 outlander 850 xt’s next weekend. Being they are 2017s I have found many places don’t list or show yet what fits onto them yet. We are new to can am but I am guessing nothing major has changed from 16 to 17 and I could just order whatever the 16 uses?

How are the stock air filters for quality?

Also, any preference over Twin Air or Uni filters? I am debating between the 2.
