Anyone ever removed / installed the wear ring on the front diff input shaft coupler ?
Did you just cut the old one off carefully with a Dremel ?
Freeze the coupler / heat the ring and press it on somehow ?

Normally I would try pressing it on myself but the ends of these have a slight chamfer to them .
Not sure if I have something that exact size and I don't wannt to bugger the chamfer(s) .

Newbie to the forum and have spent the last hour looking for a PDF service manual for a 2005 Sportsman 500 HO. Found several broken links on old posts but no manual.

Anybody got one that they would be willing to share? Also planning on buying the factory hard copy which is
Part# 9920008.

Thanks!

This is how he sits right now.. Added a winch Sunday

Still have my 850SP, but traded in my wife’s 850 along with my son’s 570 on the new Can Am Maverick Trail. I got the 1000 DPS version. Really haven’t played with it much, hoping to take it out this weekend.

I now have u joints ordered and looked at removing the rear drive shaft. It appears even after removing the Rool pin on the transmission side it won't slide either way far enough to be removed? Is there a trick anyone can help me with. Thanks by the way it is a 700 efi

1) What rim and bolt pattern do I want for a 14" rim, to keep the stock size, but give it a 2" offset per rim, for a 4" wider stance? I did that on my 570 and the wider stance was very nice in the turns, giving it a more planted and less "tippy" feeling in fast turns... Would new offset rims be the best way to do this, or should I get spacers? I don't need fancy rims, I don't care about bling... they get all scratched and banged up anyways... Just want the quad to be a bit wider at the wheels and more stable at higher speeds...

2) How does one slow down the EPS at speed? I love the power steering when stopped or doing slow technical stuff, but when you are ripping down an open trail at 45mph+ the EPS makes the bike very sensitive and twitchy. Being electronic, I would have expected that the ECU would keep the amount of EPS proportional to the speed, but it doesn't feel that way... Is there a workaround? One thing I have considered is finding a way to fit a steering damper, like you would use on a street bike... Thoughts?

Went to start my UTV after sitting a while, runs rough, wont idle, suspect bad fuel and maybe condensation in fuel. Drained tank, added startron and fresh fuel. Can I just keep running it through until it cleans itself out with out causing damage? Any other additive suggestions to speed up process?? Just had full service 6 months ago...

Can anyone tell me if the oil cooler line fittings on my Magnum 325 are Standard or Metric thread, I need to replace them and it makes a difference as to which vendor i go to?
