Let’s see some photos of how you carry that few extra gallons of gas..

Hello everyone,

Have a weird problem going on with my 07 sportsman 500 HO EFI, change all fluids from front to back, just got bike and wanted to perform it all myself for my piece of mind.

All went well, added a bazooka ATV speaker wired it direct to battery, it has a quick disconnect like a battery tender, don't use it all the time, plug it in when I plan to use it and when not leave it unplugged.

Seems like ever since I added the speaker the bike will randomly shut off when riding, bogs a little and shuts off, it will start right back up though and runs great, but since adding this speaker tube it has shut off several times.

Anybody ever had this happen? I searched on here and seen the key ring thread, it did have a key ring took it off and only one key in the ignition now, I do notice the key or ignition does need tightened up or should I say it turns some, seems like it wont stay tight or centered all the time?


Guy I bought it from did replace the ECM right before I bought it.


If anyone has any ideas please let me know


Thank you

Hello everyone, new to the forum and first post!!

I recently purchased an Outlaw 110 for our 2 sons, which they absolutely love, so now we've been bitten by the bug as well. Looking to buy a Sportsman 570 to play around on and came across a great deal on a 2018 570 Utility Edition. I noticed on the website it states that it's "geared down" for work specific functions but I can't find any information about it and how it compares to the gearing on a regular 570. I'm worried that it might be geared so low that it will be screaming at 40mph. I found a couple of posts on here asking something similar but they were never updated. Can anyone shed any light on this matter????

Good afternoon all!

I have a 07 Sportsman 450 that randomly shows the flashing battery symbol.

I grabbed the volt meter and measured at the battery. At idle the voltage is 12.4-13. When I rev it up it can go as high as 18 volts.

I am assuming I need a new regulator.....Am I correct?

Suggestions on where to get one?

Thanks all!
Steve

Greetings friends..
I recently installed a new set of race driven pads on my 2016 1k. My question is about the Allen set screw behind the pad carrier.. does this screw need to be bottomed out or backed out 360* after bottoming out? I can’t find anything that says exactly what to do with that set screw other than removing it to allow the pads to be taken off then tightening it after mounting to disk. Any help would be great.. thanks in advance

Hey everyone my Names Nick and I have a 2005 DS650 and I'm having trouble locating a part thats been discontinued and Iv got so much money invested in thos quad and a $60 part is him do g it hostage its the clutch lever release bracket BRP#420248305

Planning to order a 2019 Renegade XXC triple black soon. I’m in MA, min away from NH border. Prefer to buy from an experienced dealer as I’d like some after market items installed.

-extreme front bumper
-warn winch
-extended fenders
-exhaust/tuner

Any New England members have recommendations? Willing to travel for a quality dealer.

With the RH Side Panel Close-Off Kits being available, any need to go the extra mile and still wrap the exhaust? Dealer has me on the list, but I'm about 8 weeks out.

Bought some titanium exhaust wrap about year ago and never got around to putting it on. I have the bike torn down this weekend, installing the heat shield for the gas tank. Saw the wrap sitting there and was considering it.

I'm guessing not worth the effort, per the positive feedback on the kits.

Thanks.

Already replaced once. Issues again. Did a diode test. 2 of the 3 phase read 157 while the 3rd went to short. Melted tail lights, positive battery terminal, melted rectifier/stator connection. This all started when I noticed a loose + battery terminal. Could this have caused a diode to fault in the rectifier?
