I bought another trail boss, and the guy had been mixing the gas and oil in the gas tank. He can't remember what mix he used. So does anyone know what mix I should use? I plan on fixing the oil pump, but I would like to get it running before I tear it apart. Thanks
Water temperature gauge
Has anyone intalled a water temperature gauge on a sportsman 570? Mine is 2014. Want to keep an eye on temp as i am on my 3rd radiator in 4 years. I am looking at the trail tech gauges but instructions are very vague and im wondering where i could mount it
2016 Scrambler 1000 accessory power hookup?
Been having battery issues with my quad. I want to reconnect my light bar switch to a point where it’s controlled by the key and not always having power to it. Does this quad have an accessory hook up that controlled by the key?
Feeling Overwhelmed
Looking at getting new tires for my Sportsman 1000. Ride 60/40 trails to mud, but about a third of the mud is actual thick "bottomless" mud. Been trying to do as much research as I can and I might have gone a little over board. No matter what tire I look at there seems to be an equal number of positive and negative reviews. I've looked at Dennis Kirk, Rocky Mountain, Wild Boar, High Lifter, and Pure Offroad to get an idea of all the options available. Wheeler is currently clutched for 27 in tires but I wouldn't mind moving up to a 28. I would like to have at least an inch of tread but I don't think more than 1.5 inches is necessary. I know users on the forum are in love with Bearclaws but I just want more tread than what they offer.
Big Boss 6×6 Tracks
Will my Polaris branded Soucy built tracks on my 2009 Big Boss 800 fit on the newer Big Boss 570? Have seen a couple photos of the older style like mine on the 570, but Polaris website shows a different style that they are now offering and say my part number 2878421 won't work. What's up?

99 Sportsman 335 Won’t shift into second
Hello,
I have a sportsman with automatic transmission. I replaced the clutch and belt and fixed a bent linkage. When I drive it shifts fine into first but when I drive it it doesn't seem to shift up. The RPMs just rev high. Am I gonna have to replace the transmission or is there something else I can check?

Bear Claw HTR on Can Am Outlander
Hey everyone,
I have learned a lot from reading other posts on this forum, but I have not found a good solution to my problem.
I recently purchased a 2008 Can Am Outlander Max 800 XT that I am looking to put 27 inch Bear Claw HTRs on. The Bear Claws are too wide for the front and will rub the tie rods. To come up with a solution I am looking at the data on the stock wheels and tires and trying to calculate the ideal spacers or wheels.
The information I have found on the stock wheels and tires
Front Tires: Carlisle ACT 26x8x12
Rear Tires: Carlisle ACT 26x10x12
Front Wheels: 12x6 Offset 4.5x1.5
Rear Wheels: 12x8 Offset 5.5x2 (This does not add up)
Bear Claw HTR Size
Front: 27x9x12
Rear: 27x11x12
Possible Solutions
Option 1: Installing .5 inch spacers on the front
Should I put .5 inch spacers on the rear as well to ensure the front and rear tires line up the same as stock?
Option 2: Purchasing wheels with 4x2 or 4x3 offset for the front.
Should I purchase rear wheels with a 5x2.5 or 5x3.5 offset to ensure the front and rear tires line up the same as stock?
I would prefer to get aftermarket rims, I just need confirmation on what offset I should go with for both the front and rear wheels. Most aftermarket wheels come in one size and I do not think that would work because it would mess up the diameter of the wider rear wheels. I would like to only increase the width by .5 inches which would give the new tires the same clearance as stock without increasing the width too much.
Please let me know what you think. I am looking for confirmation on the stock wheel offset and size numbers and suggestions for the best parts to go about correcting the tie rod rubbing.
The attached photo is of the Bear Claws on the stock rims. The Tie Rods will rub in this configuration.

02 sportsman 500 hard cold start
starts good and easy when warm but cold start is terrible. Sometimes just won't start. Any ideas? Can it be pull started? I just ordered a new spark plug but the old one looked fine. I pulled it out and plugged the wire to and and plenty of nice blue arc. I've always had a problem with this but seams to be getting worse or I'm getting older. What do others do to get rid of this problem. I've replaced the starter a couple years ago to see if that helps... it didn't. replace carb a couple years ago. fixed the problem for a while now back to same old.
