    GPS / Google maps, etc

    I use it on an Iphone. Maybe it's not available for Android?

    GPS / Google maps, etc

    I use the MotionX-GPS app on my phone with either Google or Bing Satellite maps (depending on where you are, one map is usually more detailed than the other). Works really well as long as you keep Background App Refresh on and try to download as much of the satellite imagery of where you will be...

    OHV ban on public land during due to high fire risk

    Looks like the OHV ban and some of the fire ban has been lifted out west. Must have got quite a bit of precipitation over the last few days! Still looks like a complete forest ban down south though.

    2009-2010 850 Sportsman axles

    I ended up buying after market ones for my '09 from Motovan and they didn't end up fitting. Kept binding up the steering when I tried to turn. I thought there was something defective so I sent it back and they sent a new one. Exact same problem. I ended up just buying the stock ones from the...

    Waiprous and Ghost

    I'd also be interested in those Fire Lookout maps if it's not too much trouble. Thanks Barry

    Maclean Creek Thieves!

    Watch your chit at Maclean. Someone broke in our truck (Ford of course) and stole our phones and credit card out of my wallet on Saturday:rant:. I think they were sitting watching waiting for when we left because there was a charge on my card about 1/2 hour later (Bragg Creek I assume). Iphones...

    2009 850XP brake pads

    What type of aftermarket brake pads have you been using for the XP's? I've only been out about 10 times on my 850XP and the pads are shot already. I may even need new rotors as it looks like it is just metal on metal. They must be using cheap pads from the factory. I looked up the EBC ones and...

    2009 850xp tires

    I think I will go with the 28's then. It looks like they actually measure a bit smaller from what I've ready anyway. I found the sway bar mod on Highlifter. Doesn't seem too hard. I'll see what there is for clearance first before I do it. What are you guys using for fluids in your XP's? Do I...

    2009 850xp tires

    Where's the cheapest place to buy them? I've heard Casterland in Calgary, but I would have thought you could get them cheaper off the web somewhere out of the states?

    2009 850xp tires

    Why did you go with the even wider 27" tires? Did you not have to bend the sway bar even more? Am I going to need a clutch kit with the 28"? Does anyone have a link to a post that explains how to do the sway bar mod? Thanks

    2009 850xp tires

    I think I have seen this in other posts, but I can't seem to find them. I'm looking at upgrading the stock tires to Zilla's on my 2009 850xp. I would prefer to use the stock rims. I think the 27" are too wide for the stock rims at 10" and 12" front and rear, so it will be either 26" or 28" (9"...
