Any advice on how to get this done (draining the tank) or how difficult it might be?

Fuel Injector broken wire
I have a 2011 Ranger 800 crew , had a engine miss and traced it down to a Broken Injector wire at the Injector end . I repaired the connector (Polaris only sales the injector and harness as a unit) but silly me when wiring the Injector crossed the wires , When cranked it ran perfect for two maybe three seconds and died . Hasn’t started since . Thinking I mat have fried the ECU. Can anyone confirm this . Will wiring a injector wrong burn the ECU ??
2014 Sportsman 570 Front Differential Leak
Recently Purchased a 2014 Sportsman 570 used via a private seller. Has about 975 Miles. The only problem I can find is a slight leak from the front differential. I have already purchased two seals online, just waiting for them to be delivered. The differential has a some play, I have attached a video, is this amount of play normal ? I am now wondering if I will also have to replace components inside of the actual differential…

HBilly Intro Thread
I’ve got 6 quads and 2 dirt bikes. The quads range from 700cc down to 90cc. We used to let the older grandkids ride the adult quads but after hearing stories of friends knowing families that had kids seriously hurt or killed riding adult quads we decided to put an end to that and bought some kids quads and a kids dirt bike. The first quads were chinese and they were a royal PITA. So I ended up buying a new Polaris Outlaw 90 in 2014 and a new Yamaha TTR110. Figured that would end my need to constantly repair the kids rides. WRONG!
I now have issues with the Outlaw 90 and I’m looking for some help with this issue. I’ve ordered the service manual but that will take 1 1/2 to 2 weeks to arrive. I want to get this fixed before my grand daughter comes to visit in 3 weeks so I started taking things apart without the service manual. I will go into this further in another post after I figure out how to post pics and videos on this forum.
’09 Grizzly 450 sluggish
Once my ’09 450 Griz is warmed up, it will not take much of a throttle before bogging down, only reaching 11-19 mph. It’s used with about 2,900 miles, and had ran great for the past year. Now it fits right up and idles fine.
What I know:
Air filter is clean;
Gas flows into carb freely;
Gas is clean;
The Griz has been ridden frequently and has not been sitting for extended periods.
What I’ve heard:
Carb problems, dirty electrical connections, faulty limiter.
It seems this is a common problem, but I have not heard the solution. And go!

Preventing Rust
When I went to sell it privately, every potential buyer was turned off by the rust and said its unreal for a 2 year old quad to have that rust, as I thought too.
Anyways, I want to prevent my new 2016 model from rusting like the 2014 had. I have had many used quads and dirt bikes, these are the two newest I have ever owned, most were late 90s and early 2000s and they did not have as much rust as the 2014 Sportsman. Maybe Polaris uses cheap paint or something, I don’t know.
What can I do to prevent rust on the new quad? I bought some Polaris Never Rust spray I found in the store, I had never seen before. I have asked around and no one knows anything about it, no one at the dealer has an information or ever used it either. Is this safe to use / spray all over the quad? Is it worth it / does it actually help? How often should it be used? Can it be sprayed on the motor / exhaust? How about on joints, will it affect the grease and cause issues?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
2016 Grizzly 700!
Just purchased a 2016 yesterday and take delivery today, then the changes begin.
It only took 14 months to take the plunge into ownership… Couldn’t bring myself to open the wallet…

I joined this forum as I really appreciated all the help and advice given to others. What I learned here about Can-Am’s was influential in my choosing a Can-Am (I am partial to BRP as well, my sled is a Ski-Doo and I love it). I hope to be able to contribute back to the Can-Am community as well.
