Axle Swap

I got a 96 sportsman 500 and it has the u-joints in the rear and I broke one last year and replaced both rears. Now all four u-joints in the rear and out. I have read different forums about a swap to CV style axles. I read where this guy puts 04 axles in his 98 and he bought 04 rear a-arms, bearing carriers, and hubs. I looked at part numbers on rockmounatin and every thing was the same. The bearing,carrier, both arms, and bearing carrier. I would have to grind down the bolt head on the A-arm. Any help would be appreciated.

2018 HighLifter General FAQ’s and opinion

So just recently I purchased a HighLifter and man it was the best decision I could have made. The bike runs unbelievable well and is amazing. My buddy has a 850 sportsman and we will be doing some comparing in a few weeks after break in period. Dig races, top speed, axle sizes, seat size, etc etc. I had a lot of questions before purchasing this one I'm hoping this thread can answer them. Also new to the group. Hope to hear from y'all soon!

Fuel Pump Assembly

Does anyone have any experience with the fuel pump assembly on the 2005-2008 Sportsmans EFI's? I am trying to figure out where the Fuel Pressure Regulator is supposed to go. I thought there was a plastic harness inside the tank, but when I pulled the assembly out there was no harness and the regulator was rattling around in the tank. Could the gas have possibly have eaten this plastic piece up??:hmmm:

fuel guage

Hey
just wondering i'm told that the older sportsman's sometimes need the fuel gauge to be loosened by pulling on it inside the fuel tank
has anyone done this and do you have a video on it.
my sportsman only shows full and I have filled it a few times so I'm guessing I'll need to look at doing this.
thanks
Glenn.
