Hi y’all. Have a 99 Ranger 6x6. Will be asking lots of questions since it’s old and I’m older 🙂
Rear shock issue
My son picked up his polaris 570 tonight from the dealer. When he gets off it the rest end does not come back up. We have to grab rear rack and lift. Any ideas?

Does anyone have a used, functional output brake caliper for a 1996 Polaris
Magnum 425 4x4 for sale?

I can't get the caliper piston to compress at all.
Is it likely that a rebuild will fix this?

I'm looking for this carb for my 2001 xplorer 400 4x4. Can't seem to find one anywhere. Anyone have one or at least no where I could get one.
Thanks

Sportsman 500 Axle Problems. What to do?
So I was taking off a broken axle off of my 2012 Sportsman 500 to replace it with a new one. Boot was off and the cage broken and bearings were out with some missing. As the axle came off the top portion that goes into the rear end was already detached from the rest of the axle due to the broken cage. Got the axle out but now how do I get the end connected to the rear end off? I know that there is a ring on there and a friend already advised me to try and get some penetrating oil in there somehow and then pry from 2 sides. Well, that isn't working out for me too well. Not having any luck.
Seems that the other side is still connected but that too isn't coming off of the rear end at all either. Watched a few videos and they suggested to sort of push the axle in and then pull it back quickly with some force and it will pop out. Yeah Right! Only thing that happened there is I believe the axle detached from the cage but I cannot see that since the boot is still on. Looks like I'm going to have the same problem on both sides. Any advice on how to get that piece off? Here are a few pictures. Thanks.

Renegade XXC springs and shock settings advice
Hi all,
New member here with a suspension question. I recently purchased a new 2018 Renegade XXC with the Fox shocks. It rides like a brick. The spring pre-load is cranked way up and the ATV has more than 12 inches of ground clearance as delivered. Obviously, the pre-load adjusters for the springs need to be cranked-down so the springs can flex more (thereby also reducing that extra high ground clearance a bit).
Here's the rub, fully geared up and ready to ride I weigh about 300 pounds (I know, diet time--working on that now). I'm sure the stock springs are made for an average weight rider (say 180 pounds). Will I be able to adjust the stock shocks as-is for my weight or should I try to get heavier springs? As the springs are adjusted now, the ATV sags maybe just an inch when I sit on it. Second question--where do I find new springs? I've looked on the web and can't find any replacement springs spec'd specifically for my ATV.
So if there are any suspension experts or other heavy riders with an ATV like mine that could give me some help it would be much appreciated. If you could also give some advice on the other adjustments on the shocks that I should make that would be great too (things like settings for the low and high speed adjusters (is this what they mean by DSC?) and the rebound adjuster).
Frankly, I've only ridden this ATV across my yard as I'm afraid I'm going to break something at the trails if I don't get the shocks adjusted correctly first (it rides that stiff). FWIW, I live in northeast Ohio and ride moderately fast on trails that have a mix of flat ground, big rocks, roots, and ruts. I need to a minimum of 9 inches of ground clearance to clear obstacles. However, I also aware that 12 inches is way more than I should have, too.
What should I do?

Less than 20 hours on my 2018, gearbox is gone
2018 Outlander 850 XT-P.
80% of my riding has been on streets, frozen lakes, or easy trails... I have less than 20 hours on the machine.
I went for one hard mud ride with a group of friends and the bike performed great, drove it home with zero issues. After cleaning the bike I drove it to the gas station, parked it leaving it in High gear and shut it off. When I left and started it up I gave it gas and it wouldn't budge.
The bike was "stuck in neutral", no power to driveshafts, the shifter would move from Low down to R but not park...
Tore everything apart, the shifting linkage was fine, clutch was fine so I dropped it off to the dealer and they just called me the gearbox is toast but they don't know why yet.
I purchased the 2 year warranty so they better not try and dick me around.
