2016 outlander 570 L Roll over

Well I’m new here just purchased a 2016 Can Am Outlander L 570, first day out had an awesome day beautiful machine. Was heading back to truck while playing in brush as I headed up hill i started to spin tires so I threw it in reverse and just so happened I ran over a nest of about 500 ground bees, I panicked as most people would threw it in reverse, as I was stung about 20 times I pushed reverse override to get away faster because I had nowhere to go. Turned bars to fast and rolled her over one time at about 10 mph on her right rear end. It landed upright. Looked like minimal damage (besides my right shoulder which dislocated) at first but removed back rack and started to look more into It I believe my handlebars are bent, theirs no play in steering column but front left tire took a good hit when she landed and theirs some grass and dirt between tire and rim, Is that something to worry about?. Seems out of alignment also, I don’t believe the steering stem is bent but then again I haven’t looked, tie rods look fine.

I’ve been browsing the forum and have heard a lot about people putting aftermarket handle bars that are much sturdier one person mentioned using renegade bars. If anyone could give me a little information that would be great. Don’t want to void my warranty.

Also if the rack is totally shot so anyone know of any good aftermarket ones? And should I be looking for outlander l specific parts or what’s the deal with that???

P.s. this is my first ATV ever so be gentle on me my pride is hurt enough already

gas tank pressure

Was out on the trail and for the heck of it opened the gas cap to see how much pressure was inside and there seemed to be a lot.

Didn’t think it was a big deal until i tried to start the machine and it wouldn’t. Had to crank the piss out of it before it fired up.

What would cause that?

Honda big red starts only with kick start with high beams on.

So recently I was experimenting with my honda big red 1983, by putting the old battery in it and seeing if it would kick start. It started but would not drive because as soon as you gave it throttle it would bog down and stall. So I tried to jump start it with the new battery and when you turned the key no dash lights, no headlights, no electric start or anything, the only thing that worked was the horn. So I then decided to put the new battery back in and see what would happen and it did the same thing. I assumed I blew one of the fuses somewhere but the two fuses in the battery box were fine. So after a day or two of tinkering, the only way to get the bike started was to kick start it with the high beam switch on, with a load. The headlights are smashed and the wires from the light switch on the handle bars were left there unused so i decided to hook my lightbar up to them. If you unplug the lightbar the quadbike will run then bog down till it stalls. Having the switch on and the lightbar connected it will kickstart first time every time.The only difference having the battery in makes is being able to use the horn. Without a battery it would kick start just fine, but I decided to put it in just so it had something to circulate through. The light bar flickers bright when idling but as soon as you rev it slightly it will dim, but will stop flickering. The battery is fine, it gives a nice spark still and is only a month or two old so that’s out. Any help would be very much appreciated. All of the time no dash lights, electric start, or headlights only the horn working. Everything was working perfectly before I was tinkering so I can live with kick starting it, but it would be nice to have electric start.
