Time to trade in my 2009 outlander 650 XT. I’ve always been BRP for sleds, and this 650 owes me nothing just ready to trade up. I feel compelled to stick with cam am, however, the Polaris 850 sp premium really caught my eye at the dealership. Looking for some real input from real people on opinions on the 2 options. The 650 outlander has been great to me, I use the quad for crop scouting on our farm mostly, the only thing about the 650 is it seemed like it runs a little on the hot side at the slow speeds. Wondering if anyone knows if the newer big v twins cool a little better now. What about the Polaris what are the thoughts there? I really like the looks of the Polaris, I think it’s a really sharp ride. Really the biggest thing is which is more dependable, since I use for work I don’t have time for it having glitchy issues. I also like to be impressed when I snap the throttle, of course... that’s the reason I want to go to an 850 :) thanks in advance!

      1991 suzuki lt4wd rebuild time?
      By Joeguy
      I been working on this thing for like 2 months now and it will not run right, is very smokey, and has a pretty loud tap that i think is in the bottom end. Not sure how much the parts are but i will put the time into it if they are pretty cheap. Im not very experienced but going off how the plug looks and the oil on top of the piston i am getting a whole lot of oil coming in from somewhere, not sure if it can come from the valves or if the rings are just shot, my cheap scope cant really see the walls of the cylinder too well.

      2004 Polaris Sportsman 600 Carb question
      By n4cer26
      Hi guys!
      I recently acquired a 2004 Sportsman 600 4x4.  It originally ran great but now It runs very rough and only with choke on.  It dies when you hit the throttle. I will be removing the carb for a good cleaning.  At this point I'm thinking it's a fuel issue.  I replaced the fuel pump and fuel filter today as they are cheap.  When I get the carb back we will see how it goes.  If it still runs bad I might try bypassing the fuel pump and running direct from tank to carb.  Any ideas as to what I should be trying would be greatly appreciated.
      Also, the carb has two nipples in the front in the front on each side.  The left side has a vent hose on it but the right side is capped off.  Shouldn't this one be venting as well?  See pic.  
      I did pick up a new aftermarket carb to have just in case.  There is a hose fitting on the right rear that my OEM carb doesn't have.  What would this be for?  I would think just keep that on capped? (See pic)
      Thanksnin advance.
