Replacement ignition switch help, please.

Rebuilding a nearly destroyed Sportsman 4x4, VIN plate is missing on frame.
It's at least a 2000, but not newer than 2010. Are the replacement ignition switches standard? Several offered on Amazon. Thank you.

99 Sport 500 spark plug boot separation

I was testing for low/no spark last night when the plug boot separated from the coil wire. Looking at parts and new coils it appears that they are sold separately and you reattach the old boot, am I correct in that and if so, how do you make that connection?

Rear Shock Bushing?

Hello all,
I need some help and I am hoping someone might know where I can look. My 97 Trail Boss 250 is missing the rear shock lower bushing. I have tried to look it up but all I can find is a replacement shock which is not necessary. Does anyone know where I can buy just the bushing?

Thanks,

Sportsman 570 wheels

I was looking for aftermarket wheels for my 570. Came across a set of 4 for a good deal. Will 12x7 with 5+2 work with my factory tires?

New from WI

2006 predator 500 tranny swap

Just bought a 2006 as stated in title. Has a bad tranny and don't want to buy a full bottem end. I've looked all over for a tranny with reverse but no luck. Is there any way to buy a non reverse tranny and swap it in to my 2006 with reverse?? I wanna keep reverse but don't wanna wait for ever for one to pop up on ebay or other sites. I can find the non revers ones all over the place for cheap tho. Any help would be awesome. Thanks

06 predator bad tranny

New to site so sorry if posted in the wrong area.
I got a 2006 predator with a bad tranny. I got it ripped apart and it's nothing to bad. Just bent fork and one snapped. Also chewed up gears. My question is if can I fit a different tranny with out reverse in my case and have the reverse still work? Something newer or older. I've looked for days now on ebay can't find any for the rights years. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Witch rivets on a dalton kit 850

Alright guys. Got a dalton kit given to me, was on the fence between buying one and buying a primary. Free is the winner for now. What have you guys that have run a kit used for rivets when installing? I?ve heard some say none and I?ve heard some say brass. Going on a 17 850xxc with 28s

What did I wreck on my new Sportsman 850???

When for a joy ride today and buried her pretty deep. Was washing it and noticed this hose hanging loose? If washed it a few times already and never notice this, so I assume it got ripped out of place today. Anyone have any idea what this is, and where I should plug it back into? The picture is taken from the left front wheel looking in. Thanks for you time!

4WD kicks out

Hi Guys,

New to the forum. I searched for an answer but no luck. I'm doing some maintenance on my 2003 Sportsman 500, and have it on the jack with the tires off. I started the bike and was running it in High to reflush the front diff, when I noticed after engaging the 4WD it only ran for about 10 seconds than shut off. It did this everytime I turned the 4WD on. I'm wondering if this is some kind of "safety" that the bike detects it's spinning too freely and disengages. Any thoughts?
