I need to replace the front shocks on my 1996 express 400. I’ve looked at the elka’s website. It appears they don’t have what I need. I also have a 2015 etx. The shocks on it look very similar. Might there be a shock from another model that will work for me.
ranger 800xp top end noise hard starting
Hi I got a 2010 polaris ranger 800 xp. Recently purchased and started to go through the machine doing a full service. starts hard doesn't idle well (has new fuel pump) correct pressure ,cleaned the mass air flow sensor ,had black oily film on it
Compression test shows 165psi in both cylinders uses a small amount of oil like 8-10 ounces in 40 hours of hard use , puffs a little upon start up. top end has wicked rattle/ tick. I'd say it's equivalent to a 7.3 powerstroke on the obnoxious level
I assume it got hot at some point due to low fuel pressure (lean) exhaust manifold was cracked Machine runs great if u start it with a little throttle then it will stay running and has a lot of power. The top end gets quiet at high rpms. If anyone has any ideas any help greatly appreciated Thank you

06 500 EFI Questions.
Hello All,
I have a 2006 500 efi, I cannot lock down a good file mileage number? I seem to go from full on the gauge to empty with no movement. I will ride a days worth of trails 25-40 miles and have to add approx 3 gallons with no movement on the gauge. I'm thinking the float needs cleaned? or any info you all may have would be greatly appreciated. Also what are thoughts on adding some injector cleaner to these systems? Lastly has anyone changed out a rear cv axle? I demolished one on a trip to Hatfield last week and got a replacement from Sixity just wondering how terrible or not it is to knock out.
Thanks in Advance for any and all info.

RZR Truggy: Modded MondaysAn aftermarket roll cage and a clean wrap is nice, but it’s a far cry from what we would consider “custom.” This crazy creation, on the other hand, with its fully custom chassis and unique body paneling designed to mimic a “truggy” or truck and buggy hybrid is totally awesome. And judging by the photos, the owner […] more
Belt tension question
I got my secondary clutch put back together on my Xplorer 300. It seems to move smoothly. I installed those $20 plastic clutch buttons. I think the main problem was the inside was packed full of fuzz which locked the clutch up.
I installed the belt but I think I have way too much slack. I know your supposed to measure the deflection with a ruler at (1 1/8") but just from looking at it, appears there is way more than that. But I'll check this first with a ruler.
Questions:
The manual says to remove shims in the secondary clutch to decrease belt tension. Just like setting the V-belt tension a car with a split crankshaft pulley. Like an old VW or Fiat. If anybody has ever messed with these old cars.
How much does each shim decrease the belt deflection? Quite a bit or just minimal?
Problem is I had to bring the clutch into work just to borrow some snap ring pliers from a mechanic. Mine would not spread wide enough. I even tried using some Knipex snap ring pliers I bought especially to remove a 4" snap ring from a Garrett T25 turbo and it wouldn't work. So I'll either have to borrow some pliers to take home or buy some that will spread wider. Instead of having to lug this thing into work a couple of more times.
And it mentions to leave at least one shim. There are three shims on mine.
The other question is, if removing 2 shims still does not decrease the belt deflection to 1 1/8", can the engine be shifted forward by loosening the engine mounts?
Should I just do this instead of messing with the shims?
Please advise.
