:cryingOK... my machine just started sputtering and smoking... the air filter was saturated with oil and airbox had a LOT of oil in it. Removal of filter cured sputter. When I remove the filter and top the oil up in the resevoir, it pumps a lot of oil through the left vent hose into the airbox, the level of oil in resevoir drops quickly and doesn't seem to return. Help! Really weird. Anyoine have this happen before? I get 110lbs of compression doing a compression test.
2007 Sportsman 500 X2 Charging issues
Hello. I am working on a sportsman 500 for a friend and he said the battery is dead always. So I tested the voltages. It is 11.8 with the quad off. When I start the engine it is only 11.9. I figured the stater is shot. I have tested the 3 yellow wires together and got .4 ohms but when I test the brown wire on the plug to the yellow wires I get .1 ohm. I am assuming the brown is a ground and it should not have any ohms? It should be a open circuit? Any help would be helpful thanks

exhaust gets loud sometimes
I have a 07 I think sportsman 500 EFI ho. When riding last weekend I would hit a big water hole and the exhaust would suddenly be alot louder up front. Then after a minute or two it usually goes back to being quiet.
When it happens it's not loud at idle just when I get on the throttle..
I've stopped and looked at it and saw nothing out of place. I'm wondering if the front donut type joint with springs on it is separating a little??
Has anyone experienced this? And what would you do to fix it? Replace donut and springs maybe? Idk
Thanks

85 trailboss front struts
Hi All! I have a 1985 250 trailboss. I am looking to repair or replace the front struts but can’t seem to find any nos or even some used ones. I am searching. Part number 1843004 with no luck. Any help with updated part numbers or source for parts would be a great help . I did find a pair of 1843010 but they only have one bolt instead of 2 but not sure if it may work.
Thanks in advance for any help :)

Hey Y’all.
Bradley here. Just picked up a 10 Outlander 800 XT
It is super low miles but jeez, every one of those miles must have been tough. It needs a little love.
New to quads so have loads of questions.
Stay tuned!

Distance Between L&R Holes?
I'm working on a new bracket that will allow Bowkaddy to be installed on a Polaris Sportsman via the existing Lock and Ride anchors. I don't have a Polaris dealership in town, so need to call on the experts here. What is the centre to centre distance between the two holes on the front rack? Also, what is the bolt diameter on the lock and ride anchor bolts so I know how big of holes to drill in my bracket? Please include your model and year in case I get multiple dimensions. Thanks!
Cooling Fan
Hello All, was just wondering who makes a reliable cooling fan for a 2016 Renegade XXC? Mine is making a howling noise almost like the bearing is going to fail when it turns on. I'm surprised that I'm actually dealing with this problem with the bike only having 3500 miles and only a few years old. Has anyone else encountered this? Thanks in advance!!

I was given this bike and it needs some TLC, I have questions.
I am reading on the forums but I figure ill let you know whats is wrong.
Chains are loose, broke an ear trying to tighten them. What size mega wrench do I need for that?
Gears are finicky and grind when engaging.
Steering bushing is gone which causes the steering to shake.
Speedo doesn't work and I don't see any lights working on the dash.

Outlander Max XT in a 6.5′ Truck Box??
Hey Everyone,
Right now I have a 2012 GMC Sierra Ext Cab with an 8' Box and my Outlander Max XT fits no problem. For my next truck, I'd like to get a Crew Cab with an 8' box but in order to do that I'd have to go up to a 3/4 Ton and the wife isn't cool with that. In order to stay in a 1/2 ton, I'd have to get a Crew Cab with a 6.5' box.
Would an Outlander Max fit in a 6.5' box if I took the tailgate off? Reason I'm asking is for when I tow my camper I can't have the tailgate down.
Thanks for putting up with the long winded question.
