2001 sportsman 400

My brake system is shot! Neither front or rear works. I had new front brakes done about a year ago and they worked well up until this week. Compress the lever………. No brakes. An entire system for this atv is off the charts price wise, estimates are more expensive than all four brakes on my truck!!!!!! Rear caliper is beyond repair and so is the rotor. Any way to isolate the front brake? To do front and rear is estimated at around $700!!! All registered and insured but can’t ride!

Sanding in the winter?

Winter is coming!

right 😉

i’m going to need to sand our steep hill, think its a 25% slope and the total length of what needs to be sanded is roughly 300m.

has anyone out there had experience with those ‘that sit on the back of the hitch’ sanders?

what about a sander you pull behind the machine, like this one?

i want whatever i get to be able to spread sand and small gravel stones so it needs to be adjustable, depending upon the size of the material.

am grateful for any experienced snow removal folk to chip in.

When is the best time to buy

Hey guys so I’m in the market for a outlander Max XT, I’ve already found a great dealer to work with but now I have a huge dilemma. Right now Can Am is only offering either a $800 rebate or a $500 rebate and 2 year warranty so I’m thinking take the warranty but the dealer suggested that if I can handle the wait that they usually have better sales events. So now I have a Sophie’s choice do I take the current promo on a ’16 650 Max XT or roll the dice and hope they come out with a better fall sales event.

Thanks guys

Newbie,2014 sportsman 570

Hey guys! Newbie from Illinois. Bought my sportsman new a couple years ago to plow the driveway but never really took it out riding other than ditch banging. Took it to the cliffs today, did some missing and trail riding and man what a blast I had! Never knew what I was missing. Noticed a few of the sportsman issues but overall was very impressed with how it did. Looking forward to being a member of the site!
