1st real ride went good, have a few questions tho

My 97 scrambler 400 did great, I have been running premix because the previous owner removed the oil tank and disconnected the pump. I just bought the tank and the pump is still there, what do i need to check to make sure everything will work fine. Another thing is the fuel consumption. I got like 35 miles on the tank of gas. Seems low but I haven’t owned a two stroke wheeler and never had a wheeler on the trails before, any info on that would be great. I can’t believe there isn’t as much info online about these machine like there is others. I have boyesen reeds and stock exhaust. Other then that all of my other issues have been resolved, thank you for your time and replies it has helped out so much

Wyoming Ride

Went to Wyoming for a family memorial service. Took the ashes of a dearly departed great aunt and uncle up to an area that was one of their favorite places to fish and spend time and spread them. Was a great trip to ride with family but was not the type of riding I prefer. More road type riding, for the bigger sise by side ATV/UTV machines. Great area to go but prefer the two track trails more. All in all was a great time to spend with family.

Buying used awareness

I recently bought a 2007 can am renegade 800 used at 160 engine hours and wanted to share my story .. I have had it for a week did a lot of maintence as it had low hours and never received any in 10 years .. it made a weird grinding sound when coasting at speed just before he engine brake engaged and while slightly holding the accelerator .. I didn’t think much of it was concerned slightly until yesterday while I was riding the sound got suddenly much worse and then something busted I assume my gear box .. it punctured the fuel tank and burst into flames while I was still moving luckily I made out with just road rash and no broken bones but it could have been a lot worse ... my lesson is never assume those weird sounds are ok throughly be sure especially if you are buying a used quad for your kids ...

Polaris sportsman 500 efi ho

So im having a problem and havent been able to figure it out. My sportsman 500 efi will run fine for a few hours of normal riding. Then when i let off the throttle it will cut off. It will start right back up if i hold the throttle down but as soon as you let off it will cut off again. If you wait about 30 min or so it will run fine again and basically repeat. Has anyone had this issue or know what my problem could be? Thanks in advance.

High temp warning

Went for a ride in the mountains yesterday. Great time in the woods! Got the high temp warning twice. It was hot outside but this has never happened. Radiator looks clean and I don’t ride in deep mud ever. The fan was working. Anyone have a starting point for me to fix this? 2013 Outlander XT max 800r. 430hrs 2700 miles

QSC Clutch got hot

I got my qsc clutch quite hot on my 2014 outlander 1000. After the quad cooled down I went to go ride again to find I could only get it into gear by revving it up or else she'd stall. I assumed one way bearing seized but it doesn't seem to be the case. The primary will not return to idling position, it stays about 1/2 inch in from fully out. I tried to pull the clutch off but was only able to get the clutch pulled back to where it sits idling, and only achieved this by using ratchet straps to pull it that far out. Any ideas as to whats going on?

Hello

New here...just picked up a used 2014 sportsman 570 pursuit.
Love it so far!

Gotta take it in for the fuel vent recall and side heat bulletin.

Already shopping for rear cargo seat...and pretty set on the kimpex nomad 458000.
