Hi. I am new to the boards. Just got a new 570 last month. It has roughly 50 miles on it with 15 hours. Today while riding some mud trails the transmission started giving me issues. When in H the RPMs would shoot up to 4800 and barley get me to 5mph. After about 30 seconds the speed started to steadily increase and RPMs dropped down to 4200. I am thinking there is an issue switching between gears. What can cause this and I am guessing I should just take back to dealership as it's only 2mo old.

Thanks for any help.

So I picked up a 2001 scrambler 500 4x4 project pretty cheap the other day. It's been sitting over a year in a shed, plastics were off and spray painted, etc. I stripped all the plastics, cleaned the carb, installed a new battery and spark plug, as well as fresh gas. The thing runs great, but only if I start it by jumping the starter solenoid with a screw driver... I don't seem to be getting power to my switches (start button doesn't work, lights don't work, etc). Has anyone had this issue before or is it common? I don't even know where to start.... I looked around at the wiring harness and didn't see any obvious damage, however I did find some non plugged in connectors I don't know what they are for... I was going to wire up my own start button and light switch, but I'd rather try and fix the issue before avoiding it. Any help is appreciated!

The wife got her new toy today while I was stuck at work. Dealer had installed a winch and some front and rear stick stoppers. It had a wheel/tire package on it, but we got them to put the stock setup back on. Didn't need a tire as aggressive as they had on it.

She will be the primary user do it shouldn't get driven too crazy. We are looking to add a wheel/tire package to it. Just gotta decide on what to go with. Without lifting the bike, what size tires can I go to. 27's? 28's? I don't want to rob too much power from it.

I have a Sportsman 90. I have been checking everything on it. I put a new carb on it and have not been able to get it to run. Yesterday, I grabbed a can of starting fluid, just to try anything, and sprayed a good shot into the carb. To my surprise the little engine rand for a couple of seconds and then died. What should I do next...I'm out of ideas.

Ive been looking at buying a 1995 scrambler 400 2 stroke. Plastics look great and it runs great, but all 4 tires are ahot. Whats a good price for one of these machines?

I was riding and I crash and rolled my 1997 xplorer. When it rolled gas got into the oil so I brought it to a mechanic to do the oil change and he did a carburetor kit also. When I got it back it only went 30 tops and slowed down for hills. I took the carb and cleaned the jets that the guy had put on from the carburator kit. It had full power again for about an hour. Then things started going back to what they had been so I figured I has crap in my fuel so i drained the tank and cleaned the jets again. It is still slow and has a major lack of power. I also tried seafoam and no luck.
