I am looking at upgrading my tires.


I have 26x9 and 26x11 Bearclaw HTR for the last three years. I am starting to do deeper mudding now.



I am looking at CST Wild Thang 28x9 and 28x11. They will be on my 14 inch rim which is 5x2 offset.



I should be able to run there no problem correct? I was wondering if there will be wobble at high speeds? On hardback will I be limited?



ME this past weekend lol.....I need waders......

So to test my no spark condition, I have disconnected the kill switch wire (Black from cdi), tested 98.1 ohms and no grounds on pulse coil, stator tested about 13.8 ohms (red to black/red if I remember correctly), no grounds on stator. Stator resistance seems low, should I go ahead and plan on pulling it? IGN coil to ground tested .02 ohms.... have not yet tested primary and secondaries on ign coil. What other steps can I check and are there and ignition system fuses?

I have a 2005 sportsman 700 with bad rear prop shaft u joints and I wanted to purchase new ones

Has anyone found a handle that locks for the compartment between the tail lights on the 850

Anybody interested in doing this ride. Flyer attached below. Brief synopsis: 1 day ride, 15-25 mile loop on private property. Can ride it all day. $45/adult. Hoping to get a group. Need to register in advance. Stateline ATV Club members? Anyone else interested? Take a look at the flyer. Respond here, let's see if we can't get a nice group to attend.

I have been working on a new to me 2002 Sportsman 400. It was given to me partially disassembled, so I don't know how it was working before. The primary clutch was shot with cracks in the sheave, so I bought a brand new Polaris OEM belt and an aftermarket Niche clutch. The secondary clutch was used as-is. Put everything together tonight and have the idle adjusted low enough so it almost stalls in gear - don't have a tach to check exact rpm.

The problem I have is that it wants to immediately start moving forward or reverse when you put it in gear. It's inside my shop, so I can only move about 4 ft forward and back at idle. It was raining so I didn't have a chance to take it outside and try it. Just wondering if this was "normal" for a brand new belt and if it would loosen up a little by riding it or if there's something else I should be checking? Thanks in advance for any advice, this is my first belt driven automatic quad, my other two are chain drive (Warriors).

Ive been riding 4x4s my whole life but sport quads are new to me. A couple days ago I picked up a 2011 DS 90 for my son. It looks like a really nice a clean machine. He was very excited so I let him rip around a little bit the last few days without really going over the quad. Today just as he was finishing up I noticed a grinding / rubbing noise from the rear. I noticed the chain was really loose and tightened it up. Ultimately I found that two of the rear sprocket bolt had come loose and rubbed against the axle bearing. As you can see the bearing looks shot. How do you go about replacing that bearing? Also I don?t see the bolts for the sprocket on the parts list it looks like you need a whole sprocket. Lastly would there be damage to anything else that I?m misssing by letting the chain go too loose? I did notice the front sprocket had a very little movement in it but that went away after I tightened up the chain. Thanks for any help.

2017 1000 200 miles.

Pulled my spark arrestor out of the exhaust tonight curiosity more then anything.

Looking for clearification? The fiberglass packing? Is there debris blowing out of the muffler or is it a fiber glass packing around the spark arestor? There was a small ring around the tip wondering if it's all burnt off or muffler packing collecting around the mesh. The tip showed a lot of rainbow colored heat but it also had a very hard break in lol.

I left it out for now. Is there any reason why I should put it back in besides noise an sparks? It Sounds pretty good.

Well I'm redoing my risers on my 1000 want a little more height and wanted to get em more centered so I can roll the bike more without dipping them. Came up with this just want to hear what some opinions little busy but kinda cool and as centered as I can get em. First two pics are before rest are after

Traxter 500 slips out of high range while driving. I watched the shift shaft (high,low,reverse,park) while driving in high range and with no movement of the shaft the trans. will slip out of gear as if not well engaged. I am able to reengage into high by playing with the shift lever, but with some grinding. I thought maybe the tierod of the shift linkage might need adjust but while driving in high range with very minimal movement in either direction it will slip out of gear. This leads me to believe that there is some kind of internal problem?
Has any one experienced this or have any suggestions?
