A few weeks ago, I bought a 2000 magnum 500 with what was described as a seized engine.

I got around to tearing the engine down today and found out what the problem was.

When I split the case open, 2 bolts fell out from in the case that were either left in there, dropped in by mistake or they came off something inside that I can't pinpoint.

Does anyone recognize these bolts as being a part of anything in the engine?
I can't see anything they would have belonged to and they don't look like any of the other bolts.

Can anyone shed any light on this:
Looking at some a arm guards for the Scrambler 1000 and I came across a set that I like but they are called out to fit a 13-14 Scrambler 850. What is the difference between the two with regards to a arms?

Will 26x9x12 and 26x11x12 Kenda HTR tires fit my 2010 Outlander 800 XT WITHOUT SPACERS on stock rims. Anyone running them? Thanks.

I just noticed that my 1995 300 4x4 isn't putting any voltage to the battery while running.

I tested the a/c voltage from the stator (yellow/red) to the terminal block and have 14.x volts.

I then tried to test the red wire for d/c voltage coming out of the rectifier and it's reading 7.x volts.

Should I be testing it at the breaker further down the line to the battery as well or

can I assume from here that my stator is good and the rectifier needs to be replaced?

I called Rocky Mountain and they recommended the Growler XOR BG 2.5. I asked where they were made and the guy couldn't tell me, so I did some goggling. I still could find anything in writing, but I several pictures of the tire and noticed the American flag molded into the sidewall. I thought surely no one is going to mold a flag like that into the sidewall of tire if not American made. When the tires showed up, an American flag on each sidewall, the found the small print on the tire. Made in PRC People's Republic of China. I am disgusted and it will cost me, but they are going back. They clearly designed the tire to look American when they are made in China.

I've got a 95 xplorer and the pin that runs through the gear selector has broke on both sides, I originally thought I could replace the pin but once it's out it seems it is all one piece. Is there a way of fixing it or does it have to be replaced? I took a few pictures to better describe what I'm talking about.

Hi everyone new to the forum. I got an issue with my 2009 Sportsman 500. A few weeks ago it was real cold like below zero degrees F, and I went to plow the drive way. I start the quad with full choke everything seems normal. Let it warm up nice and good and go over to plow. I drive about 1/4 mile through 3 inches on snow and it quits. And when it did it made almost a grinding noise. I was going like 10-15 and at like 4000ish rpms. It’s not seized and turned over normally just no fire. Now I’ve been messing with it. Has spark. Looked at carb wasn’t dirty or anything but sprayed it down and replaced needle and seat o ring. Intake valves are opening. Valves and piston look fine according to my bore scope I stuck down there. Checked compression only 30 psi. Seems low even with comp. realease but idk? Drained fuel put and put good in. Checked fuel pump for cracked diaphragms. Thought there might be water in gas. Put everything back together and still nothing. Sprays gas out of intake side of carb. When I had the carb off I sprayed starting fluid down intake and cranked and flames came out and started my intake and starting fluid can on fire. Seems like valve timing is off? Checked cam inspection cover and flywheel and they seem to be aligned. Sorry new to four strokes and don’t want to keep trying things that arent working. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Erik
