adding front bumper/brush guard

I'm finding these dual tube bumpers/brush guard on ebay with only what generation Sportsman it will fit and not the years. So I did what my wife suggested and called the dealer and spoke to the service dept. they didn't know and sent me to parts and they had no clue how th determine the generation. Please help, THANKS

Any good DIY bumper pics/builds on here?

I just added a 19 570 Sportsman to my collection I really didn't need a 4th ATV but the deal was to good to pass up and my pole barn is big enough my wife won't notice it for awhile haha. In the past I've always put ATV-Guru bumpers on my ATVs but for this one I've decided to build a set both to keep the budget down and because I've always wanted to build a set. I've done a lot of welding and fabrication work so building them won't be hard I just wanted to see if anyone had some good pics of bumpers they've built and where they attached the mounts to the frame. Thanks!

Parking my ATV until late fall suggestions

Need advice !
Winter is over and won't be using my atv until late fall (most probably).
It'll be resting in my garage.

What should I do.
Change oils now or wait ?
Anything else you would suggest ?

Thanks to all

Removing the side panels

I'm getting ready to put an exhaust on my Scrambler, but I'm having a heck of a time trying to get the lower right side panel off (covering the exhaust / engine)

I've Removed the top panel already and I've removed the 3 plastic clips holding the lower panel... but it doesn't want to budge and doesn't seem to have enough room to slide forward to remove. I can also see where it hooks behind the rear fender, but between that and the limited space to move forward, I'm not really sure how to proceed. I don't want to try forcing it out and snap something.

Would removing the clips on the rear fender possibly give me enough room to wiggle it out?

Any pointers on how to remove it and reinstalling it would be welcome.

Run like sh!t

Having issues with my outty 800. I put it in a deep hole on my last ride back in September. It ran like sh!t after I got out but eventually ran better so I put it in another one maybe too soon and ended up having to be towed back to campsite. It felt like fuel pump was going out so I replaced it along with new spark plug and air filter. It is snorkled and seals are good but still runs like sh!t. I'm thinking vacuum leak but not sure. Any ideas?
