Can’t wait to head to camp. Let the good times roll!!!

Fuel Valve – Reserve

Have a 2008 Scrambler 500, it ran out of fuel during our last ride. Rotated the fuel valve to reserve and it wouldn't restart. Glanced in the tank (didn't have a flashlight), but it appeared to be empty. I checked the valve position against what the owners manual shows and it appears to be correct. "Reserve" it straight up, "Off" is at 9 and "On" is straight down. Has anybody had a similar experience and if so, what is the fix?

Sportsman 500 EFI clutching

So I am going through the learning curve on the clutching for my 07 sportsman 500 EFI non EBS, I installed 14" MSA diesel wheels and 27" Mega Mayhems, next came the clutch kit. I installed a EPI "mudder" clutch kit, it was ok but I felt there was more that could be done, changed to gold primary spring. This change was descent brought the engagement RPM's down, but still feel there is more than could be done lol, now I am wokring with Rick Ritter on the clutching. He is sending me some different parts to change out in the primary and secondary clutch along with a new belt he recommends, after telling him what I am looking for which is low end and midrange.

I was reffered to him by another guy who said he is a super guru on clutching on some other bikes and should be able to hook mine up, very nice guy and really listens to what you are looking for.

Anyone here used him before?

Parts should be here shortly and I will report back.

antifreeze still in oil

I have replaced the water pump gasket and the head gasket on my 04 Sportsman 600. I had the head shaved 10,000th to ensure a clean level surface. I didn't not notice any cracks or warpage. Should I have replace the base gasket as well? Im at wits end and need advice badly before I start throwing parts in my neighbors yard out of frustration. Any suggestion would be appreciated by my neighbors.

Sportsman 450 owner’s review

I've got a friend/new rider that thinks he might want to buy a machine. I've found a sweet deal on a practically new 2016 Sportsman 450. It's got less than 200 miles on it. I've seen where some have had a few electrical and other issues with the 450's.
My question is, are you current owners satisfied with your machines and would you buy the 450 again if you had it to do over? This guy knows nothing about atv's and is depending on me to find what he needs. I have no personal experience with the 450's.

2019 Models anybody familiar with these?

These pics come from Can Ams Website / Owners Manuals. I screen shot them from iPhone. I haven’t heard or seen anything about the Traxter Series or Maverick Tail T Series I wonder if T means turbo.
