My 2006 Polaris Outlaw 500

[SBA800]

Well, picked it up today. so stoked for summer now.
since its a used quad, i'm going to do some things right off the bat before riding it to much. Oil change, air filter cleaning, fresh gas with seafoam etc.

short term upgrades will be nerf bars, and new tires.

first pic.

[nosbusa]

have fun. where do you plan to ride?

[SBA800]

will have tons of fun.

Mostly just going to ride the gravel roads and the ditches. Isnt really trails around here, theres a few gravel pits, but they may be operating this year, so those may be off limits.

[nosbusa]

any sand around?

[SBA800]

theres a few small areas of sand, nothing big. We do have some dunes here, but they are off limits to vehicles.... which is pretty fuckin gay.

might be able to find some larger areas of sand an hour or two away though. Never really looked into the riding areas yet.

[nosbusa]

get some paddles if you go to the sand.

[SBA800]

nah, not that much sand that paddles would be needed I dont think. wouldnt be worth the time it takes to swap tires

[nosbusa]

swap rims instead. its a whole lot faster. thats what im doing. got 3sets showing up next week. just in time for my pismo trip next week.

[SBA800]

still wouldnt be worth the time lol. not that much sand at all.

but, wont be riding it anywhere til lI can get that broken filter cover bolt out and replaced.

[nosbusa]

i hope that works out for you.

[SBA800]

new bolts ordered, local store didnt have the right size in stock.
should be here wed. or thurs.

found my dad extractor bit set. has one that should be small enough, so I shall attempt to get it out provided I can find a drill bit small enough to drill a pilot hole

[SBA800]

pulled all the stickers off that the previous owner put on. looks much better now.

[SBA800]

pics from today. was riding around checking out all the flooded roads and fields.
couldnt get very far from my brothers since all the roads along the river were flooded and/or washed away.

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f51/george613/IMG_4104_zpsec008071.jpg

looks like a lake, but it aint haha

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f51/george613/IMG_4101_zps0b05fbd9.jpg

its like the damn rapids haha

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f51/george613/IMG_4106_zps3b26951c.jpg

this is just to the south of my brothers. its right up to the dike. another 1' and it would be flooding his yard.

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f51/george613/IMG_4099_zpsd5a268e3.jpg

and of course, more of the quad.

Today:

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f51/george613/IMG_4116_zps0d6b615f.jpg

we are so damn lucky we had about a month of slow melt. because if everything we had all melted at once like the past 2 days, we would be in huge trouble lol.

[nosbusa]

should of got a jet ski......

[SBA800]

no kidding. its slowly going down. most of the roads are passable now. So I will be riding this weekend for sure. few roads are pretty much completely washed out though, and theres one bridge thats close to floating away. so it should be interesting.

will ride all over and scout it out this weekend

[SBA800]

considering these for my next set of tires.

Kenda Kutter XC
reviews sound good. Buddy of mine from work has a TRX 700xx and hes getting some this weekend. so if he says he likes em, i'll probably get em.

[SBA800]

ok, have a video uploading for you folks.

also have this one. have a strange rattle sound the odd time. usually only in first gear, and mostly only happens when the bars are turned slightly to the right, while accelerating.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IP2bE9iAOw

any thoughts? have posted on a polaris sport quad specific forum, so hopefully someone chimes in.

other video is uploading. stay tuned.

[SBA800]

and heres the other video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=6QAivdprFWM

[nosbusa]

what bonehead takes out his own camera with a bunch of rocks hahaha. and wheres the helmet?

[SBA800]

lmao. didnt think I was lined up with the camera that good lmao.

and the helmet was 3 miles away at home. for some reason. Usually its in the truck but for some reason I took it out. that's why I didnt do what I really wanted to do, which was attempt jumping and wheelies. just did those donuts and back to the garage. I got some new video today though, WITH my helmet on. and failed attempts at jumping lol. gotta find a better spot.

[SBA800]

ok, here you go busa, there's the helmet

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNlOOpp85Gg

[SBA800]

alright, now to the bad news. the heat shield on the pipe was rattling, So I was taking it off, to check the mounting plates for cracks. as I was taking off one bolt, it snapped. fuckin thing. but, I did find the issue. and resolved it.

cept now it rattles due to missing one bolt to hold it on lmao.

also, I got a crack in the CV boot. its new, as it wasnt there before last weekend. joy joy

[nosbusa]

crap you are full of issues. so, you need a new __________. as far as jumping goes. you missed. i dont think that was the best spot, however you should have been able to do it. i dont think you were going fast enough.

[SBA800]

yeah it was a shitty spot. but the best spot there was in the area. theres a fence and a few power line poles in the way, so I cant really get much speed at all. not to mention the angle I have to hit it at puts me in a sketchy position for stopping. since theres a ditch right there. but, i had a bit of fun with it. thats what counts.

All i need is to patch the crack. either with clear silicone or a tire patch. the heat shield rattle wont hurt anything, so i'll just deal with that till i get my new exhaust.

[nosbusa]

i can see the headline now..... man found electrocuted while on his quad.....

[SBA800]

hahah dont laugh, it may happen

[nosbusa]

i will laugh until it happens..... then i might have to stop.....

[SBA800]

you will stop.... ask if im ok, then continue to laugh even harder than before haha


its all loaded up in the truck. going into my dealer tomorrow for a free recall that was never done. doesnt really need it as its been fine so far, but heck, its free so why not right. then i'll let my buddy take it, check/shim the valves and i'll be good to go for the summer.

[SBA800]

here, enjoy another video


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3CuKNXiX8Y

[nosbusa]

i dont see any jumps.....

[SBA800]

well thats good, cause i never succeeded at trying to jump yet haha.

tank was to full last time i was out (cap screws on crooked, need a new one) so gas spills out. even wheelies it slops out

[nosbusa]

saran wrap and a rubber band......

[SBA800]

what a genius idea...

[nosbusa]

yes.... yes, i am......

i was going to pismo one time and one of our gas cans didnt have a lid, i had ro come up with something quick to seal it off so they wouldnt complain about the smell. (i didnt have the truck then) so i decided i would use my wifes hair rubber band and i grabbed some saran wrap and it worked pretty good. no gas came out, however the vapors did finally make its way out eventually.

[SBA800]

will have to try that next time im riding

[Wilson]

I'd filler up with e-30 and ride like a wild man

[SBA800]

haha well, I wouldnt. especially not this one since its got a carb

[SBA800]

cleaned her up today. was pretty dirty. decided i should clean it.

[NickPic83]

Looking purdy

[SBA800]

i know right haha. if only it didnt have a busted boot!

hopefully the new one will be in late this week, or early next week so I can ride before my vacation.

then all I gotta worry about is the front shock.
found a good place to take it though, cheap. $60 to rebuild it.

[nosbusa]

hurry up and bring it down here.

[SBA800]

you got me thinking man, maybe next summer i'll load it in the truck, and head on down there for a week. while im there i can install/attempt to install a system in the ranger, and go quadding. sounds like a good vacation

[Baller]

Looks good man, Nice pics.

[SBA800]

thanks man. love the damn thing. takes good pictures to lol. one of my favorite looking quads.

[Baller]

Any plans for mods?

[SBA800]

yes and no, I dont wanan go to crazy with it. And I keep changing my mind on what I want.


but the definite mods are wheel spacers, nothing big just enough to make it a little more stable in the corners, maybe a slip on pipe with some jetting

[Baller]

Sounds good.

[SBA800]

yep, gonna keep it simple.

new tires soon obviously

[SBA800]

well I got my new inner CV Boot in the mail today, along with all the grease and what not.

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f51/george613/D3D0D4F1-1633-4FA7-BAFF-369A0BE16550-29221-000025EBC9A17023_zpsa256c1d3.jpg

So I shall install that after my vacation then its back to riding!

I do need the left front shock rebuilt still, but that issue doesnt make the quad un rideable like the rear boot does, so i dont care as much about that fix right now lol.

[nosbusa]

until you hit a bump.....

[SBA800]

Haha it's just rougher. Nothing I can handle.
Will get the shock rebuilt before to long though.

There's a ride for dad event in September I wanna do. An it's I think. 80 miles long. So I definitely want good suspension for that lol

[Baller]

Wheres that at?

[SBA800]

Local ride on our one and only dedicated atv trail haha.

[Baller]

Local ride on our one and only dedicated atv trail haha.

Better take pictures.

[SBA800]

For sure. It's not till September. I'll have both my gopros running

[Baller]

That will be sick to watch.

[Maxx2893]

That'll take forever to upload on Canada's dial up internet.

[SBA800]

Haha yeah no kidding.

[Maxx2893]

How'd you like South Dakota?

[SBA800]

Was awesome. Definitely gotta go again.

[Maxx2893]

I think a Texas trip next time. Without the family of course. That would be a drive from hell with family.

[SBA800]

yes it would be hell. SD was hell driving back.

driving there wasnt to bad as we did it in two trips.

[Maxx2893]

How are we talking ohv's in the off topic chat thread and off topic trips in your build thread? Lol.

Let's make it on topic, you should totally take a trip to the us with truck and quad and just hit up lots of good offroad places.

[SBA800]

yeah maybe some day lol

[nosbusa]

come this way. its too hot over there...

[SBA800]

i dunno, cali looks like its pretty hot

[Maxx2893]

Anywhere is hot for him

[SBA800]

It's fricken hot up here. And humid as shit.

97F and 50% humidity.

And people think Canada is cold.....

[nosbusa]

its nice right by the coast. at pismo sand dunes, you cant ask for a better place to be.

[SBA800]

So, someone local is selling pure Polaris dual exhaust..... Tempted to pick that up. Looks pretty awesome.

[NickPic83]

Do it!

Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

[SBA800]

Would be pretty cool to have dual exhaust on a quad lol.

But performance wise it's not the best choice. Tough decision.

[Maxx2893]

How much will you save on new and shipping?

[SBA800]

No idea yet. Haven't gotten a price on an HMF yet. But I'd imagine a brand new HMF would run me $250-$300

[SBA800]

Quads going into my buddies today to get the valves shimmed, and boot replaced.

Getting that dual exhaust next week for a killer deal. $175
Brand new I think it was $800 lol

[NickPic83]

thats a score dude

[SBA800]

hell yeah. and i might have a buyer for my old stock exhauist.... for $75

should have my quad back by middle of next week I hope

[NickPic83]

is it EFI?

[SBA800]

No sir it's got a carb.

My first vehicle with a carb haha

[NickPic83]

Do u have to jet it for the exhaust?

Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

[SBA800]

Not sure. Still gotta check on that.

[Maxx2893]

You got a sweet deal on the exhaust

[SBA800]

Well, didn't get it yet but he's holding it for me till next week haha

[SBA800]

Aw ya.

[SBA800]

Woo. Picking my quad up from my buddy tomorrow. Just in time for the long weekend. Gonna do some riding for sure.

Good thing I took it in when I did, and didn't go for one last long ride. He said the valves were pretty damn tight. Not good lol.

They've never been done and it has maybe 70 hours on it. Supposed to adjust em at 50.

Ah well. All is well. Can't wait to go riding.

[SBA800]

damn thing runs so much better now that the valves are done.

new spark plug, cv boot replaced, valves adjusted (they were tight as hell), compression check done, and he went over the thing front to back looking for issues. all that for $200

im happy with that. more than fair.

just wish hadnt gotten home so late. i wanna ride. but im damn tired.

[aarons419]

Quad has a light. Go riding.

[NickPic83]

Brap brap time

Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

[SBA800]

It does have a light haha. A damn good one might I add.

But I was way to tire. Just woke up so ill eat lunch and go riding.

[aarons419]

Why aren't you riding yet?

[SBA800]

Just got back. Go read the chat thread for details.

[MrM]

small update, Crashed the quad and rolled it a few times. so the front end is tore apart for a rebuild. No riding again this summer :(

[Maxx2893]

Dang man, I saw some of the carnage on Facebook I think.

[MrM]

yeah, was pretty bad! I think my next offroader will have a cage hahaha. Maybe then ill not kill myself

[Maxx2893]

That may be a good idea man.

[MrM]

outlaw is getting rebuilt haha. shes running and driving again after a few parts. Just need a few more things to be prime.

[Maxx2893]

Get that thing ready and running!

[MrM]

I'm already riding it haha! minus the rear fenders, things get a little messy in the melting snow and mud lmao

[Maxx2893]

A little mud never hurt anyone. Good to hear its back to functioning.

[MrM]

this is true! Got real muddy this weekend.

Have a few things left to do like ball joints and tie rod ends, but I can do that slowly over time. Changed out a spindle this weekend. that was severely bent from the crash, that helped a lot.

also, I started doing vlogs while riding. Go check out the video plzzzzz

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7OSbKIOtpM

[MrM]

Quad is still going.... kinda strong haha. Has a small oil leak somewhere. I'm not worried about it yet.

Editing another video this week.
