I was reading another forum recently about fuel leaks and possibility of fire happening. Reminded me of an incident I had a few years ago while working at a Can Am dealership. The quad was a stolen & recovered Outlander 650 that had been tampered with. These quads have an electronic safety system, similar to their DESS system on the sleds. You cannot bypass the key switch and get spark without a computer with factory software. Anyway, I was trying to determine what was damaged since the thief had attempted to hot wire various electronic parts. I got all the extra wires removed and things looked back to stock. Pulled the spark plugs and was going to check for ignition and if the starter still worked. Well, they both worked alright and guess what - the cylinder was flooded with fuel! Instant flames with gas spraying all over...great!! I managed to use my hands to put out the fire, good thing I had on gloves (but choked they were ruined of course, haha). Seems it's possible to flood an engine with efi when you put power straight to the injectors, doh! As in much of life, you cannot take things for granted (I'd only seen carbs flood like that). And even though it had spark, the quad still needed a new ECM to run - that part alone was $1200. So lets hear your stories, crazy stuff happens every day I'm sure.

Man, glad to hear you didn’t get injured or seriously damage the machine. 

Thanks for the answer!

I don’t have any photos of mine but my plow doesn’t get much lift height either with the winch. I was just dropping in to give you a heads up about the winch cable. If you use the typical steel cable, it isn’t going to last long. The constant up and down on the same 10” of cable wears it fast and they break. If you don’t have a synthetic winch rope you may want to purchase one. I will be buying one for myself as my cable broke last year after a few storms 

Hmm, I’m still a gas motor kind of guy. Cool though

I’m a little late to it but happy Halloween! Nice machine 

Purple power to degrease the oily crap on my engine. Power washer to blast it off

Thanks! You too!

My cousin has a brand new CAN-AM 850. ITs the 2 up model with the rear seat, heated grips. He bought the optional Bluetooth sound bar for the front rack. Plenty of power and ground clearance. He bought bigger tires to put on it but it really didn’t need them. Overall a beautiful machine. Just way out of my price range currently. Happy hunting!

I am so over this…… now we have this Omicron variant? What the heck. Never ending

I have no answer to your question but you have a hell of an atv! My buddy has a quadzilla. Ill see if he has any idea

Thanks!

Ive used the Kolpin gun mounts for a few years now. Still going strong. Mounted right up to the front rack on my foreman. The little rubber straps fall off when you in lip them but I’m just careful to be aware of it and I haven’t lost them 

I have that exact black and decker model. Works well for me

My dad bought me my first quad when I was 7 or 8. A little Suzuki quadsport 80! I was hooked
