Help Looking to buy Can am

3 Upvotes

I’m wanting to buy an atv soon. I’m really interested in can am outlanders specifically based off the little research I’ve done.
I’m looking for something that’s a 2up.
I do mostly trail riding with slight mudding. I don’t go crazy fast but I still want some power. And I do want reliability but I’ve heard these aren’t always the best for reliability. Also wanting to stay under $10k.

I’m going into this with little knowledge about atvs. I ride a family member’s a few times a year and I’m finally ready for one of my own. So any tips on what to look for, suggestions for another option, and any other advice I’d appreciate!

I’m open to other brands as well but just mainly has to be a 2up and under $10k.

Help SxS. Transmissions - Do all brands have a high RPM?

2 Upvotes

Hi, I just did a test drive on two brands today. Polaris and Can Am. Both had an RPM of 5000-6000, while going 30-40 mph. Is that normal? Are there any ATV”s with a shifting transmission? Or are they all variable transmission?

Help Novice buying a used sport UTV

2 Upvotes

So, my son has a Polaris Sportsman 450. We lost our deer lease and getting another soon is not so likely. So he wants to start doing some trail riding and some mudding.

My issue, I don't have a machine and done went down the rabbit hole. I'm looking at Commanders, Generals, RMaxs, and ZForces. However, I am open to other options.

I don't plan on beating on the machine, just want something that can keep up with the boy when I feel the need.

Any insight is greatly appreciated.

Goal is to stay under 8k. Still gotta buy another trailer.

Photos Instead of buying purpose built mods for crazy prices I bolted a £40 Front Runner box for storage. I was quite pleased with myself. Made me wonder what other people have done. Be great to hear some ideas.

I have a 2006 Kawasaki bayou 250, it had a Chinese carb on it when I bought it; and it ran but would bog when I put it on full throttle. the other morning I went outside and it wouldn’t start at all, and ended up flooding no matter how much I used the choke it wouldn’t start. and a few days before it started not starting with electric; but would with the pull start and I bought a new carb that I put on today (also a 30$ Amazon carb) and it still ended up flooding no matter how much I tuned it.

Help 2001 Suzuki Quadmaster 500 Winch

Post image
5 Upvotes

I have recently joined the atv fun and got myself a 2001 Suzuki Quadmaster 500 that runs like a top. It was garage kept for 25 years and only used for hunting. I plan on doing the same thing, got it primarily for dragging deer out of the woods as our property has about a 4% grade uphill and pulling deer out by hand is not fun.

We have a small ravine with a steep 40 foot embankment and the deer like to run down into it sometimes, and it’s always been hell to pull them out. So I’m wanting to add a wench to the front of the atv to hook a sled up to for pulling them out. My issue is, the warn winch mount 37812 for my year and model is nearly impossible to find. So I’m trying to figure out how to add one. ChatGPT says “just fabricate a steel winch plate” 🤣 I know there are a lot of “universal” ones that are adjustable, but I’m not sure what would work or not. I think id also maybe have to remove the aftermarket brush guard. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
