Seem like that small bushing that the input shaft rides on has broken just the outer lip came out with the shaft.
Will the rest of it stay in tack or will it come apart? It's a 2014 Polaris sportsman 570, the pinion seal started to leak looks like this was the cause of it, there's play in the prop shaft up and down but very little play side to side. have uploaded pics of the part that stayed on the shaft

So I bought the pcp-1 epi puller and if I'm doing this right on a sportsman 1000. Is it necessary to pull the a arm and axle on that side to get the puller into the primary? Any tips would be greatly appreciated. This is on a 17 highlfiter 1000 sportsman. Thanks

I've been having this mysterious oil leak ever since I bought my 97 Xplorer. First I thought it was the oil tank (which it was, the level sensor) then I thought it was the transmission. But it's still leaking oil. Now I'm convinced that the oil leak is coming from the oil injector.

So I started inspecting around the engine. I tried taking some photos after I got home from work this morning but my phone malfunctioned.

On the passenger side there is a small drain hose with a 45 degree cut in it and oil leaking from it. I'm assuming it's a factory hose.

On the other side there is a light brown nipple with no hose on it (has to be missing). When I open the throttle, I can see a small amount of oil being pushed from the nipple then sucked back in when I close the throttle. Is this supposed to be connected to something?

I don't trust this injector. I'd really like to do away with this system and just pre mix my gas and oil like I do on everything else I own, even my car (Trabant 601).

My plan is to cap the 1/4" supply nipple off on the injector with a vacuum hose and any other small nipples to prevent any false air leaks and just pre mix my fuel for my Xplorer like I do on my Trabant.

I've tried to research what the safe ratio should be.

I have used that 30 weight Opti-2 which is a 100:1 mix with no problems. I normally run all my stuff at 40:1, even some of my 50:1 engines.

I'd figure by this day and age, 32:1 would be safe but more likely 40:1.

Any of you guys have done away with this tank/injector? What ratio do you use?

Maybe I can shoot some photos and post.

Hi,


I've been reading various posts now for a while but overall I'm new to the forum. I've seen a few post that have sort of touched on this subject but nothing really definitive. I'm looking for a 2 up atv to ride with my kids. I want something that's comfortable and reliable. When I research online it's mostly just brand "bashing" with no real answers or rider experiences. Can anyone provide input on riding the Can Am vs Polaris vs Arctic Cat? What size would you recommend?


Thanks
