On my 2008 Outlander 800, after the machine sits a while, when I turn the key to the on position, the dash display lights up and flickers, and I do not get the fuel pump noise like usual. If I try to start it at this point it’ll either not start, or start and run erratically. If I turn the key off and the right back on, the dash display comes on properly, the fuel pump comes on, and it starts and runs fine. It only seems to do it after it sits awhile. All the fuses seem to be good and I made sure the relays were pushed in good. Could a relay be going bad? Any ideas?
Rat RZR: Modded Mondays
Thats one head turning shop car!
If we didn’t know better, we might have expected to see Cruella Deville behind the wheel of this rat rod Polaris RZR complete with white wall tires. While that front grill looks a little out of place, in the world of head turning “shop cars” GMZ can consider this mission accomplished.

Maiden Voyage a success
Took the wife out to Lake Murray atv Park in Oklahoma yesterday for her first ride. She has a 2017 Sportsman 570 and I have a 2017 Sportsman 850.
Only rode for a couple hours, put about 8 miles on the bikes. She got stuck 1 time, between a rock and a hard place, three wheeled it in a few places, but all in all she did well for her first ride!
Both bikes performed perfectly with no mechanical issues, leaks, or other problems.
We were the only 2 out there on the trails which was nice for a teaching session. Didn’t have to worry about traffic.
I’d say it was a great first ride together and look forward to many more.

RJWC Dual Quiet Core Install
I just installed the quiet cores for dual exhaust on 17'.
Holy crap do these things work amazingly well. I want to say the bike is back to stock decibel level, but still sounds a bit meaner. The sound of the exhaust without the quiet cores began to give me ear fatigue as well as take away from me jamming my music.
Now I have both of the best world's with the badass look/performance of the exhaust and the (near) sound of a stock bike. Def recommend.

Sloppy Tranny or just my imagination???
Hey Folks, I have a 2016 Polaris Sportsman Touring 570 EPS with 4x4 drivetrain. When I start my rig up and shift into reverse or drive and start to accelerate there is brief pause in engagement of the tranny and it hits quite hard once it engages. Is this normal with the shaft driven atv's? I have a belt drive Trail boss that doesn't do that. I only have 500 miles on it and its done that since day 1.
Any help would be appreciated.

If you liked the idea of four wheels, but just couldn’t bring yourself to part with your trusty three wheeler, a company called Hi Performance ATV had you covered.

Why is the C/R so low on an Xplorer 300?
I've heard allot of 2 stroke guys will remove the head gasket to bump the C/R up.
The shop manual says the Xplorer 300 has a C/R of something like 6.7:1. Why so low?
I've read about squish bands and all but that's sounds like something easily screwed up if your not careful.
Any of you guys ever fooled around with this engine? Shaving the head, squish bands, etc.
