    2020 Can-Am HD8 starts but will not keep running after 3 seconds

    Anything change or happen before this started? Add something, fix something, go through mud or water puddle? Does it flat out cut off like you shut it off? or does it sputter and die? Not really enough info to diagnose.

    New 2024 Kawasaki Ridge

    What the f- is up with these things? Seriously, if they weren't already basically mini-trucks, they are now. If you need heat/AC and the HP of a small 4-cylinder motor, might be time to look at a small pickup. At what point do we decide its just too much?

    HD9 - HD10

    Ground Clearance and Horsepower are the main ones.

    Hd9 with xmr a arms

    Bracket lift might get you where the XMR is normally as I believe the HD9's sit lower than the HD10's/XMRs. Not exactly sure of the length difference between the HD9 shocks and the XMR ones. Might be something to ask around about to see what would work. Brackets would be cheaper, but possibly...

    2023 Can Am Defender Max HD10 Limited Fender Flares

    OEM Wide flares on mine, you get used to the look of the rear with wide flares. In a way, I think it looks better than wide in front and sport flares in the back.

    HD10 break in

    Never did anything special with it once I bought it. Just drove it. 2000+ miles later, no issues. Did first oil change at 1000 miles, no filings or chunks, fairly clean oil.

    Defender HD9 LED light bar front wiring access to dash

    On my '19 HD10, there is a spot just behind the center power cubby that you have pictured, that's where the main harness comes through the front wall.

    2020 Defender HD10 Not always starting

    It sounds like a failing safety switch.  I know on my '19 that sometimes when put it in Park, it doesn't always settle in so I have to use the brake or rock the machine forward and backward until it 'clicks' into Park.

    2020 Defender HD10 Not always starting

    First thing to check is for vacuum in the gas tank. Next time it won't start, open the gas cap then try. If it starts like normal, then that means one of the check valves on the vent lines for the gas tank is bad (or the line has something plugging it) and not allowing air in as gas is pumped out.

    Defender 6x6 tire size

    Agreeing with VagabondMatt. I think you conflated your numbers, i.e. Diameter vs. Radius. In your example, you are adding that 2.25" to the overall diameter, when in fact that 2.25" is the additional radius, so technically the 2.25" increase in radius should be doubled (making it 4.5") before...

    2023 Defender Max HD9 XT - Tires / Lift

    Pretty sure the frames are standardized across the models, built to be modular. Doubt there is any frame difference in a HD7 or HD9 or HD10, just differences in what's bolted on to them. Places like SuperATV, won't commit to saying their stuff works on a model they didn't test it on due to...

    2023 Defender Max HD9 XT - Tires / Lift

    My 2019 HD10 Max cab has a factory Ground clearance of 12". I put on the S3 HD springs and run 30" tires just fine, S3 springs eat up about an 1" to 1-1/2" of suspension sag. Model year 2023 Max XT HD9 has a GC of 11" and the HD10 Max Xt has a GC of 13".

    switch

    Yes, it would be the switch. I've had that issue. Randomly it wouldn't activate the high beams.

    HD10 Bumper Recommendations

    Currently, running a Bison Bumper for the front, nothing yet for the rear. Kinda like the Rough Country design, but hate the prices on them. Being a metal fabricator myself, and knowing how some of these are made, I'm very critical of the asking prices on a ton of stuff made for these machines.
