Recently bought a 2013, even though it had low km and winch was almost never used, the grease had dried pretty bad and the freespool/engage switch was behaving really bad, and it was very hard to freespool.

I removed the winch and disassembled the gearbox. Grease was all dried up with chunks.
Mineral spirits bath with a toothbrush, air dry and re-grease, now freespools really easy and toggle works #1.
Also a good time to fix the warn issue with the toggle where the metal part jams the plastic and you cant put it back to motor after freespool....
Just file at an angle the plastic edge where the metal part catches. Now it just rides the ramp and goes back on. Takes 1 minute with a small file on each side.



Should work like new. Motor is supposed to be sealed and is pretty new so I just decided not to disassemble it...

What is that purple connector behind the fuse box in the gauge cluster?

And wtf ate my wires? mouse or something? I'm lucky that only the rubber was eaten and not the actual wire.

So looking to raise my snorkel on my XMR. I can not seem to find anything that says how tall the snorkels sit. The Traditional kit looks like it would be no problem, but the SYA kit looks like it would completely obstruct your view if sitting. Anyone have these and maybe could get a picture of the sitting on their quad? Want to see how tall they actually are.


On another note, if anyone has any better kit to recommend than Snorkel Your Atv, please share them.
Thanks!

I’m trying to help my neighbor get his rear axle out of the trans. Right now I have a bearing splitter clamp down on the outside of the joint with a 4 lbs slide hammer bolted to it and this thing has not budged. We were taking turns for probably over an hour today With that set up with no results. I was going to try and heat it but I’m not too sure if I could damage the trans what heat. I know I will ruin the seal but that’s no big deal. Is there any other ways of getting this out? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So a little back story is 5 months ago I locked up the transmission, got a new one in put everything back together put the battery on charge and now nothing is turning on even though I started it a month ago and everything seemed fine. I am getting power to the solenoid on the incoming post but not the outgoing. Doesn't click when I turn the key and yes I verified the kill switch is in the run position. Just don't know what could be the problem besides the solenoid but wouldn't think a bad solenoid would eliminate power to everything else. Any help is appreciated.

My 2010 550xp will not start once it gets hot. Bike will start great when it is cold (as it the engine hasn't ran in a while, or you can lay your hand on it). Once you run it for 20-30 minutes, it will just grunt when you hit the key. Took it back to dealer 5x, replaced battery several times, hooked jumper pack to it, and several other things. But nothing will help it, last thing the dealer did was they said the valves were out of adjustment bad, and it was ok for 30 or so miles, now back to the same thing. Its starting to aggravate me quite a bit now. Help would be great. Bike just acts like it is vapor locked after you get it good and hot.

2002 sportsman 500. I've been having issues with..i think battery drain. Ran it today at idle for about 30min. As soon as the fan kicked on it died. Had a hard time re-starting it. Started when the fan shut off. Battery is kept on tender. I had issues with it now for a while when using the plow, same thing, once the fan comes on it stalls.

hi I have a 2009 500 touring that has a overheating problem, the machine will get hot and will start flashing that it is hot on the instrument pod but the fan does not come on until well after it says it is hot. thanks for your help.

So I have a ride coming up with a buddy, both of us will be riding sportsman 570's. Neither of us have a trailer so I figure now is as good of a time as ever to look into buying a trailer. I'm really liking the idea of a hybrid trailer because it can fit then side by side vs front to back which will need at least a 16' trailer to do. I can get a r&r arc 12 for 3799 plus tax but it is a 8 week lead time and the planned ride is 3 weeks away. A different dealer has a sport haven 12' hybrid economy model for 3899 plus tax. The r&r has a beavertail which I couldn't care less about aside from it increases the door height but the sport haven looks to have a 2" taller door without the beavertail.
Does anyone have any experience with either of these brands/trailers? Any recommendations?
Thanks

2001 explorer 400 4x4 jumping out of high range tried adjusting linkage out more but still does it anyone have any suggestions for me to try before I loose my mind and my wallet. I've dumped a bunch in this thing already.
