New member from Parrish, FL

I posted in the Sportsman section looking for help so I figured I'd introduce myself also. 40 years old and picked up 3 used quads over the last 10 days. 2007 Polaris Trail Boss 330 for $1k, 2006 Hawkeye 4x4 for $1500 (these are for my 11 year old son and 13 year old daughter) and a 2006 Kawi Brute Force750 for $2500 for me. We've been out a couple times already with my neighbor who has a 2016 Can-Am XMR 850 and XMR 570 and the truck and trailer to pull them all. Family loves them and we have a great place to ride just 20min away.

1999 sportsman 500

My son 500 ran hot a few weeks ago. He cut it off till I could check it out. Had to add coolant. Now fan will not come on but if I straight wire it it will work. I have try to get all the air out but not sure I have. The temp light will come on if you ride it for a few min but fan never kicks on. Need help. Thanks Edward

Pic request, 2006 Hawkeye 300 4×4 air intake under seat

Picked up a used 06 Hawkeye for cheap and trying to sort it out. Looks like the previous owner installed an intake box from a 330 and cludged it together.

I'd like to see what it's supposed to look like as I'm having a hard time locating real pics on the interwebs. Can someone post a pic of under their seat please?

I also can't seem to find the part number of the lower box. Anyone have one they want to sell? I've found the intake tube on eBay and I think I can make it work with the existing box.

Here's what the quad looks like, the existing intake and diagram of what it should be.

I'm going to head over to new members and introduce myself right now.

Thanks in advance!

All you guys running rvs clutch kits

Hey guys, just wanted some input as to what spacer in primary clutch you all ended going with to smooth out your engagement and what tires your running. Gotta 2010 550XP that I'm going to 28" bearclaws and would like to hopefully get close or nailing down spacer on 1st try. THey told me I can either go no spacer,thin spacer,thick spacer, or both thin and thick.

New front cv shafts for sportsman 300

I got a 2008 Polaris explorer 300 and the front cv shafts had been removed by one of the previous owners.
My questions are,
(1) Where the cv shafts would go into the wheel hubs they have been exposed to everything, they are covered with grease but also anything else, can they just be cleaned up and have the cv shafts installed or do you think to much crap has entered and caused internal damage to the bearings?

(2) On one side of the front differential the wheel bearing shield is missing leaving the bearing exposed to the elements, can it be cleaned out and filled with grease and a new shield installed or do you think the bearing would be contaminated and needs replaced?

I don't like the idea of putting it all back together and have to turn around and take it apart, I also wouldn't like to replace parts that might be ok

Thanks for all repies
