2007 Sportsman 550 X2 lots of issues…

Hello guys. So I had a buddy drop his quad off for me to take a look at it. The first issue was the quad bogs really bad when he starts working it hard. I am assuming this issue is from all the insulation on the gas tank missing and it almost being out of fuel which would cause the fuel to boil? I am planning to top the tank off and see what If I can re create the issue. The other issue I noticed was that the quad was very hard to push even in neutral. So I jacked it up and spun the front tires by hand and they seemed to spin easy. Then I tried the rear and noticed the RH rear tire was very stiff to rotate and would not even spin when I started the atv. I tried in 2x4 and turf mode and AWD? So I pulled the hub off that side and found the bearing was shot and now the axle spins but the LH now spins intermediately and makes a loud popping noise the odd time then engages and spins then stops? And the front tires also always spin even in 2x4? I am very confused on what is going on here any help would be very much appreciated

Can I order 14 inch wheels on a 2013 outlander max?

The 2013 had 12'' wheels stock. Will 14 inch wheels fit without issue?

I want to buy 28'' mega mayhems and would like beadlock wheels, so I wonder if I should get 12 or 14 inch wheels? What's better?

What wheels should I get? What kind of beadlock model is good? dual beadlock useful? I am looking at the STI HD9, look good, come in 14x7 for front and rear... should work I guess.

Aftermarket wheels don't have the same width as the OEM wheels, will the tires mount ok, will all be ok?

I think the tires are 9 front and 11 rear


shouldnt rub with elkas stage 3?

Throttle stuck at wide open – Won’t start

Finishing up a ride when I hit a blacktop stretch ....I went wide open throttle and tell the rev limiter hit. At that point the throttle was stuck wide-open banging the rev limiter, I hit the kill switch and came to a coasting stop. Play with the throttle didn’t seem to make any difference on being stuck open tried starting the bike all it would do is crank.

Took the throttlebody off and cleaned it out, now the throttle functions properly “ can’t replicate it to get stuck again” however it still won’t start!

Hooked up BUDS and seen the TPS was at 1.5 reset the TPS to 0.0 bike still won’t start.

Thoughts.......
