im new to this so let me know if i did this wrong, i have a 2012 sportsman 850 xp eps
i have done pritty much everything i can think of to fix it on my own but im lost now,
i have had the engine out and made sure timing is correct, all good, cps is good,
throttle saftey is proper, throttle adjustment is proper, new tmap sensor, new ecm, and had the tps adjusted
still will not idle, i can start it by unplugging the tmap sensor and i will run, but im assuming its running on base maps or something like that, with the tmap plugged in it starts fires up idles for 1 sec ish and stall.. i have a service manual so i have prity well checked every sensor for proper ohms readings and all look good, i put new ngk plugs in it to and no difference, well any suggestions would be greatly appreciated thanks

My new ride is dripping antifreeze from the tee in the line on the lower radiator hose. Has anyone experienced this? I'm hesitant to take it to the dealer for just this if I can just put on better clamps and be done....but if I loose fluid, I don't want to have to buy it.

Have anyone else had this happen and did you take it in or just replace the clamps?




Finally getting it setup with enough lights to check cows at night.



Added some switches. One for the bar on the front and one for each alley light on the sides. I also replaced the OEM backup light switch with a lever switch that matches. Much easier to toggle with gloves on.

hi everyone. i have a 14 sportsman 570 I bought last fall. I have never had any RPM reading on the speedo gauge? Is there some kind of setting I can change to be able to see rpm's on the gauge cluster? Or maybe I have something faulty with whatever sends RPM reading to gauge cluster? Does any one have any thoughts on this?

Thanks!

Here's a vid on ow I got a rack extender mounted on my front cargo bin.

Is there an easy way to tell if I have powersteering on my ATV? I bought it used and was trying to figure I out if it does?

I have a problem with my 850 scrambler XP! !!!! I was useing it, got off to do a task, left it idling and it died. Tried to restart and it would not hit a lick!!! I put a gallon of fuel in the tank after a 1/2 mile walk and it still wouldn't hit a lick, not even try to fire off, so towed it back to house. It only has 30 hours on the engine, ran good up until it died. I pulled the plugs, nice light brown color, hooked up the plug wires an had spark to both plugs. So I assume it's not getting fuel. Tried the throttle setting thing, still no results. So I'm not to informed about fuel injection. I have worked for a Honda/Kawasaki dealer as a mechanic/service manager back in 80's, mostly 4 wheelers and 3 wheelers for farmers. Rest was on motorcycle with carburetors.
Now retired an on my small farm. Use the 4 wheeler to get around because of infasemia.
Oh, one other thing, the fuel pump doesn't sound the same as before when you turn the key. I'm thinking fuel pump but with only 30 hrs on the machine, that shouldn't be so soon!!!
Next can it be removed without taking the fuel tank out of the machine?
So anyone out there that can throw some help please respond, I'm 75 yrs old an can't walk to far, need my wheels.
