Has anyone attempted the pod mod with the 2016? From mid 08 and up you had to ground out one pin on the ecm. Many are wondering if it has been done on a 2016. I’m not going to experiment on someones 2016.

I have a 2016 outlander 1000xt. As the title states I was wondering if anyone has tried to reinforce the very bottom of the frame where there is 2 pieces of square metal about 6 inches apart that run the length of the quad. The reason I am asking is I bent the very end of one side of the square tubing crossing a rail road track. Apparently the track struck the very end of the exposed frame and bent it inward. The tubing measures 2.5 inches wide 2.5 inches tall. My idea was to get some square tubing just a slightly smaller diameter that would fit inside the existing square frame rails and slide it inside then weld it into place as this would make the frame more rigid and stronger. Obviously 2.5 by 2.5 inch would not work because it’s the same diameter but the next closest size that would potentially work would be 2 1/4 by 2 1/4 inches but that may be to small. Anyone who has done anything like this please offer advise/recommendations on what worked for you. As a side note I really can’t believe can am leaves these frames as exposed as they are……guess I’m gonna be looking at full length skid plates to prevent this from happening again. Sorry for the long winded post but looking for advise on what to do.

Can someone really good with Rubicons to give me there opinion? I bought a 06 Rubicon 500fga not running as a learning experience and have done the top end and gotten it going. Now my problem is that when I drive in 1st and 2nd there’s a weird sound but I can’t hear it in the other gears. It doesn’t hop or slip and no filings in the oil, it rips like it should but sounds somewhat like it’s in-between gears or something similar. Do you think it’s clutch, a bearing or just transmission shitting the bed?

Hi All. What style of base are the running light globes in the Sportsman 110? They look like BA15S with a skirt.

I’d like to upgrade, so I’d like to know what sort of bulbs I need to be chasing.

Had a thing for evening sky after losing a few close people. Something calming and reassuring about a sunset.

A sign that we all made it through another day.

Everyone here faces a hard time. Sometimes it can be put at ease by just looking up

Anyone else having amazing sunsets this summer?

New here. Howdy all. I am getting ready to changebthe fan on my 2013 maverick 1000r. Has anyone ever done this? Any tips to make it easier? Do i have to remove anything other than the fan to change it out? Thanks guys.

Well everyone, I am looking at some new shocks. I have a 2010 outlander 800xt.

Should I get the stage 1 or stage 3 Elkas?

Roughly $1200 for stage 1 and $1800 for stage 3

Hi guys as I feared when I pulled off my rear diff to do the brgr and seen the drive shaft all wobbly and the gears make loud sounds when spinning them so I took the diff plate off and seen the bearings are shot on it one side is even missing some of them and the thing didn’t have no oil in it the seal is leaking it out from the drive shaft area so I orded new kit with bearings and seals but cant find anything on how to replace them. I pretty much know how to get the side bearings out its the pinon gear that worries me I heard u have to have a special tool to get the nut off that holds it in and also the neddle bearing that the pinon rides on that looks to be a beesh to get out as well. I seen on a old fourtarx the guy drilled a hole under the bearing and knocked it out with a punch which I hope theres a easier way. and then I read some guy re did his bearings and it was whining after words cause the shims wont match u have to have a new shim that’s a certain thickness which I don’t know how in the heck u know what thickness is needed and where to even get such a sim. So that begin said this seems to be a mess to do then to top it off the left otter wheel bearings out as well which I’m sure I can do it with no problems. So that begin said any u guys here ever did them out know of a walk through guide on how to do one? thanks in advance.
