Spider Lake has berms all over but, The section that I was doing all the jumping was the south eastern end. Spider Lake has many trails and none will disappoint. "Ride Hard and Be Safe" MN Bill

I posted the video for her 2 kids. They couldn't believe mom was riding a 4 wheeler. Her first should be a Can Am, Right? Keep making the videos brother, fun to watch. As always "Ride Hard and Be Safe"

28 inch tires don't fit, 28s? I think the XT comes with 26s right? You basically increased the diameter by 1 inch. I'm sure the foot wheels would give you the room for the 28s. BUT maybe a shock adjustment , spacers or some fender trimming would do the trick. I'm surprised 28s have a clearance issue. Thanks for the ? and let me know what your solution turns out to be. "Ride Hard and Be Safe" MN Bill

You will have plenty of room for 30's. I have a set of 31 Havok (for the muddin' and a set of Cryptid "True 30's 10x14 " and had room before I did the floor boards or the S3 shift. You'll like the new boards and they look really good too. "Ride Hard and Be Safe" MN Bill

Sorry, my you tube link got screwed up. YES I made it and again it was a blast. Hope you had a good time too. Were you the guy that crushed everyone in the obstacle course? "Ride Hard and Be Safe" MN Bill

@@minnesotaxmr yup that was us 😂 glad to see you out there, and it was a blast! Shame to see them not have another event out there. They could advertise it correctly and make it huge sense NOBODY ELSE IS DOING IT!!!!

@@bbreckner9884 We talked to Chris, one of the organizers, and he said the advertising/promotion, will be better for next year. We complained about last year too. He also said that they got a huge grant$ from the county to do improvements on the park. And I agree, 2 events would be great. Take care and Ride Safe. MN Bill

Thanks. I'm not sure what to get. I got the 31 Havoks now, but......... "Ride Hard and Be Safe" MN Bill

@@minnesotaxmr I went with 32 assassinators myself. I was worried about the weight so I had them cut and grooved by a guy in Texas. DSCUTSTX. I did that because I have stock clutches... I switched out the secondary Spring and put a spacer in the primary... no issue. It's amazing the 32" tire weighs less than the stock cryptids... I do like those floorboards might even be better than the ones I got.. I ordered the super ATV ones but after I got them I realized that they weren't for my quad and they were for the year after... They still installed but I have to come up with something for my Fender. Anyways great video

@@dirty_worm_850 I clicked on your short video. Looks like the rear is still pretty tight. I'll have to do some measuring If I go full nator. Have a good riding season and keep makin'g those vids. MN Bill

@@minnesotaxmr no don't go by mine lolol. I hit a tree a while back and o think my rear arms are bent a little. One side is like over a inch and the other is like half. Definitely messed up

@@dirty_worm_850 The Can Ams are very powerful BUT they can't climb trees. LOLO

Weather here in MN has been nuts. Trail openings will be delayed AGAIN. But on the bright side, We'll have mud and water to play in. "Ride Hard and Be Safe" MN Bill

Mine too. that big pond is a blast when the water is deep. You can wheel stand across the whole thing. Thanks for the comment. Hope to see you there in a month or two. As always "Ride Hard and Be Safe" MN Bill

The whole experience was an absolute thill of a life time for me. Thanks for watching. MN Bill

True love for the old birds. 4 years in the USAF and 6 years in general aviation (Cessna to King air) and then 20 at North West airlines) a lot of flying BUT, nothing can compare to that hour in the "Yankee Lady". Like I said "Dream come true" Thanks for the comment, Gods speed. MN Bill

Experience for a life time for sure. When you is Grand Pa in person or photo, you're looking at a Hero. God bless you both. MN BILL

@@minnesotaxmr He never once talked about it. We found out his war record after he passed. All we knew was he was in the war.

Thanks. When I was 7 years old I watched a TV series called 12 o'clock High. All B-17 missions in Germany during the war. I was in the USAF and worked on B-52's. I did a lot of flying but the 17 was a dream come true. Thanks for watching.

@@minnesotaxmr I did flying with the L 13 Blanik,as a young man.I can imagine Your feelings,when Your dream become True.I was lucky,when I get damaged plastic model of B 17.I repaired it.I was lucky owner,in those times was very difficult get a model from west.I lived in Czechoslovakia.Have a good times.

I'm not quite sure what you mean? The sound of a 1200 HP airplane engine always sounds good to me, no matter how loud it is.

Bob Marshal Why should someone sit in silence when having an awesome time? Lighten up, life is too freaking short to piss on someone's breakfast.

Because we are loud and proud!

Most people make a bit of noise when they're euphoric...you should try it sometime. And I'm not American incidentally

The mud holes a fun and the trail system for under 50 inch are great too. Thanks for the comment. MN Bill

@@minnesotaxmr good to know. Most of our group runs atvs so it would be a good place for us. We want places with some actual off-roading lol. Out local trail system keeps adding more gravel to every place that get muddy unfortunately

@@atv_lifestyle Red Top also connects with the Soo line which will get you to the Solana Loop too.

Check out S3 Power Sports. That's where I got mine. "Ride Hard and Be Safe" MN Bill

Thanks. It was just a lot of splashing around sorta day. "Ride Hard" MN Bill

Appleton has a lot of trails but not a lot of area but fun for a few hours. I could have made a 2 hour video but most of it would be repeated. Thanks for the comment. As always "Ride Hard and Be Safe" MN BILL

Thanks "we did". The event is set up by a OHV club "PRAIRIE OFF-ROADERS' and Swift county. All types of riding is available for motorcycles, OHV, sxs and atv's. at Appleton Recreation Area. "Ride Hard and Be Safe" MN Bill

There is no lift, just a 2 inch extension. It gives you room to run bigger tires. I have a set of 31" Moto Havoks and I could go to 32's easily. S3 Power Sports calls them "the no lift shift" Thanks for the ?. "Ride Hard and Be Safe" MN Bill

"Spider Lake" "Foot Hills State Forrest" is a great place to ride too. I haven't ridden too far north yet but retirement is coming soon and I'm planning to hit as many as I can. "Ride Hard and Be Safe" MN Bill

I got mine at Rocky Mountain ATV. Part # 703501161 (replaces part # 709401756) Pitman Arm | Package XMR. That's for the 2019 XMR 850. It's about $30. There is a HD after market pitman arm at ncbperformance.com/#!/PITMAN-... Great design but It's $336. I hope this helps. "Ride Hard and Be Safe" MN Bill

There is usually nothing to be afraid of but.. Riding by yourself makes you think a lot harder abut gettin' stuck. "Red top" is one of my favorite places. Thanks for the comment. As always "Ride Hard and Be Safe" MN Bill

It's a nice mellow sound BUT.. grumbles when you want it to. HMF, can't go wrong, and the price is easier on the wallet than some other brands. "Ride Hard and Be Safe" MN Bill

When I first started my ride, I was surprised at the sound. (more like clicking). I found the 3 screws that hold the cutch arms seemed to have a little play in them. They had lock nuts with lock tight and they were tight. I thought I'd installed a thin washer under the nut to see if that would help. It did. The screws have just a small amount of play, (which you want) and the clicking noise went away. I'm NOT suggesting that's what you should do. The new QSC is different now than what I installed. I would suggest that you should talk to Adam at QSC with any issues you might have. I am a mechanic by trade and have been for about 45 years now, so I am confident with the minor fix I did. I do check the screws for security when I clean my clutch. QSC makes an incredible clutch and I endorse their product 100%, (I ride with others guys that have it too). The power gains are great. And by the way, the videos that I watched before I bought mine, Do have a bit of clicking too. Thanks for the ? "Ride Hard and Be Safe" MN Bill

@@minnesotaxmr thank you very much. I'll reach out to them, I did buy direct from them.

@@benwallace241 Enjoy your ride brother. MN Bill

They heavier the snow the better.

I think they are 5/2. 4/3 are what I have on my Cryptids. (System 3 SB-3 bead locks) "Ride Hard and Be Safe" MN Bill

I haven't seen much from you. Keep filming that 850. "Ride Hard and Be Safe" MN Bill

@@minnesotaxmr yea been busy lately haven't got out much unfortunately

The fender flares were on it when I picked him up. Along with the hand guards. 2 things I was planning on ordering anyway. "Ride Hard and Be Safe" MN Bill

Glad it helped. "Ride Hard and Be Safe" Minnesota Bill

Not sure what you're asking. The secondary was torqued according to Can Am Maintenance manual specs. If I recall, it's 20flbs. and then 180 degree turn. The QSC was 75flbs. That is what QSC called for. I hope that's what you're asking. "Ride Hard and Be Safe" MN Bill

I ride with a guy who has a 50 inch Maverick and he's follows me every where. Both Class 1 and Class . Some Jeep and dirt bike too. Spider Lake is one of the best tails in the state. "Ride Hard and Be Safe" MN Bill

@@minnesotaxmr oh dope. Mine is 62 inches its a class 2. Ill have to check it out cuz my cabin is 20 minutes from there.

@@I_AM_ISAACP lots of trails for 62's

@@minnesotaxmr dope ive been trying to find some in Minnesota but I just end up riding around danbury area

I could move my handle bars about 2 inches right to left before the tires would move. When I lifted Sonny off the ground, it was clear it was the pitman arm on the lower shaft of the power steering unit. If you have a loose shaft above the PSU, that's a whole different story. You can tighten that bolt but if it's still loose, that's the bottom of your steering shaft. Now you've got a lot of disassembling to do. Check again. A loose pitman arm is really common on the Outlander and Renegade. Also check the steering with the PSU powered up. It' might be ok or maybe (hopefully not) you have a problem with your PSU. Good luck and let me know what happens. MN Bill

@@minnesotaxmr what is improved with the new pitman arm design?

@@TheSponge945 The design hasn't change. Replacing the worn out pitman arm will bring back your steering. You won't have to over correct your steering going down the trail. Thanks for the ? "Ride Hard and Be Safe" MN Bill

What kind of sun shade? I've not heard of that before. I got a GoPro 5. Thanks for the comment. "Ride Hard and Be Safe" MN Bill

Thanks guys. I'm glad to finally get to see your you tube channel. We need to stay in touch. Matt and I would love to come up some weekend for a ride with you guys. You need to get your videos from the mud rally out there. Hope all your rides are back taring it up. "Ride Hard and Be Safe" MN Bill

@@minnesotaxmr we got the 1020 torn down, cleaned, and put back together! Up and running like a top! The rear diff on the outlander should be in too!

@@badunitbuilt2272 glad to hear it. Did the jugs need repair?

@@minnesotaxmr thankfully no. The rings were definitely dirty but nothing was damaged.

thanks for the tip, have fun on that 850. This clutch from QSC is great, enjoy.

Very very HOT but enough water to play in. High lifter is going to do it again next year, (same week end) You should plan on it. MN Bill

@@minnesotaxmr i would love to. looks like a lot of fun. gotta see where next year takes me lol

Are you talking about the rt. side? Like I said in the video , put in the axel on the rt. side before you slide the diff. into position. That worked for me. I laid the diff. on the floor and turned the axel until it popped into place. Sorry you're having a tough time. MN Bill

@@minnesotaxmr it ended up being a defective locker. They didn’t machine the splines into the cam gear!

@@destinhook3826 Yes, that would do it. That happens but it's usually the other guy. "Ride Hard and Be Safe" MN Bill

Right! On the secondary. The primary, at 75ft lbs. you're not stretching the bolt. That's pretty much a standard torque for the bolt size. Now, if you have had issues with that bolt breaking after a retorque, I'm all ears.

Thanks. Front to back they're all Can Am. "Ride Hard and Be Safe" MN Bill
