Hello;

I just changed the seal on the shaft that comes out at the front end of the engine and connects to the prop shaft that goes to the front diff.
I noticed that when in 4x4 the shaft part that comes out of the engine has a slight warp to it that can be seen when running. I can't find any information on this part of the engine. All I can find is through shaft diagrams that show an entire shaft that goes from front to back. This part only receives power and turns in 4x4. However, when connected to the front diff it turns freely in 2x2 as it is connected to the front diff. How bad is a slight warp in this shaft? How do I access this part to replace it? I have looked over and over and can't find any info. (2007 Can Am 800 HO LTD Ed.)

Hey!

New to the board, but not new to the Polaris scene. Used to ride old 250's and 400's back about 20 years ago, and just recently picked up a 95 Trail Boss in extremely good condition ($700!). It runs and rides great, but it does need a tuneup. The PO said he always premixed gas AND used the oil injection system. He attributed the massive amount of smoke, plenty of oil residue coming out the exhaust tip, and boggy performance at slow speeds until you blew the cobwebs out of it, then it'd run better. So, rebuilding the carb is #1 on my list. Anything else I should look at or clean up while im in the process of going through this machine?

Also, the shift linkage has some play in it. It has the standard H-N-R shifter setup, and goes into R just fine. However, I have to push the lever past H to actually get it to go into High gear. And, it goes into gear easier when the engine has revved a little bit (doesn't want to go into gear very well at idle, even pushing the lever past H). Is this just a simple adjustment of the shifter linkage, or do I need to be looking at something else that may be worn?

Already have new tires on order (this will be a crop scouting quad, so more puncture resistant tires are needed), new bushings for the rear shock, and some AGL to replace the tranny fluid that's probably 20+ years old.

OH! And can anyone tell me the color number for the Teal color on the racks? I would love to repaint both of them to match.

Thanks in advance for any help I can get!!

Was watching a video of a 800EFI Sportsman and his front differential sounded somewhat clunky as does mine at times. Is the front differential normally noisey on a 2006 800EFI Sportsman or what should I be looking for? This is in two wheel drive, I haven't had an opportunity or need to use in AWD.

Forum Users,

I have 1 96 Xplorer 300 I bought for my lady last year, and fixed up. I was taking it out for a spin to see how it Ran with the air filter cleaned out. The ATV has a new CDI Box, Coil, Plug, fresh carb rebuild, and fresh top end rebuild. It was running well. Then all of a sudden it started choking out, and died. I have been unable to restart it with or without the air filter. I have used starting fluid, to no avail. It is out in the middle of the woods. I plan to go back tomorrow to take out the plug and see if it needs to be cleaned out. Any other ideas of what it could be if not the plug? I might as well be thinking about it coming up with solutions while waiting to go work on it some more. Thank you guys appreciate the input. I'll also plan to take a spark tester, jumper cables, and a compression tester out there. I just hope that the new rings aren't damaged.

Was checking out new machines at the dealership trying them on for size. 2019 Renegade 850 base next to the reverse over ride button says DPS. However on the 19 Outlander 650xt and 19 Renegade 570 XMR it says ACS/DPS.



So I ask my riding buddies, I have a 2017 outlander 570 xmr, he has a 2017 outlander 650 XMR and the other a 16 outlander 1000xmr. Mine says just DPS, his says ACS/DPS. I know it use to mean air suspension but I thought they did away with that? And I know for a fact the 570 and 650 have the same shocks and springs, and no air suspension. So, what does ACS mean?

Getting Elka Stage 3s for the 850 XT.

First thing will be adjusting the sag.
I know when sitting on it it should be around 30% sag.
But 30% of what?
30% of ground clearance to the frame?
30% of the ATV height without the rider? And if so, measured from where?
30% of the shock total travel? And if so, how do I know the total travel?

Thanks.

I see they are pretty affordable, i wonder if they would help the stability and ride of the ATV or if would cause any other issues on the trails.

I have a Defender XMR

Changing the gear case it calls for 1.5 liters of 75-140

I put that in and it doesn’t register on the yellow dipstick where it should. I measured and know I got it all in there.

Anyone else had this issue?

Thanks
