Hi I’m jim glad to be here

I have an 03 bombardier 650 quest. Push start button just stopped working. The lights work high and low beam. The on postion switch is on when I push it nothing. Battery charged up can jump from starter solenoid. Just nothing from the push button. I cleaned all electric connections.

99 Sportsman 500

New to the forum and clueless about ATV’s I just bought a 99 Sportsman 500 RSE. The odometer, hour, and trip doesn’t work. I took off the hall speed sensor and cleaned it and put it back on but for some reason I can’t find out how to view the odometer, hour, or trip. I read something about the yellow over ride button and tried some things with that but have had no luck. Help would be great. Thanks.

Plow Blade at Angle

My search couldn't in the answer, so I shall ask here. Looking for a plow blade, that angle, will measure 36 inches to plow residential sidewalks. I read here that a 50 inch blade would work but then would clear the snow from th path of the tires.
I was hoping that a 52 or 54 inch blade, at angle, will suffice.

I guess I can always buy an extra trip edge and cut it to the proper length.

Any suggestions?

I also am researching plow systems. As I need a winch for my 550 EPS, I was looking at the Glacier System and Warn system with front mount so I may also get a front loading bucket at some point in the future. I do need a heavier blade for backdragging.

Thanks in advance for the tips.

ATV Rookie

Hi all. Glad I found the forum. Tons of great info in here. This past fall, I picked up a 2004 Sportsman 400. It's in decent shape and I plan on using it for farm work and hunting. Thought I'd do some basic maintenance on it as I'm not entirely certain when all of it was last done.
So far I've managed to blow out my oil tank due to low temps, and just today had to use a heli-coil to repair the threads on the transmission drain threads. So, getting to know the bike more and more by the second. LOL
I'm also learning how tough it can be to find info on older bikes like mine, as well as parts.

Thanks for all the info and I'm sure I'll be asking questions from time to time in the Sportsman forum and around.

Pulling to the right

My '96 Magnum 425 2WD is pulling to the right. I have all of the tires aired to 15 psi as closely as I can. I lifted the front end in the air and pushed/pulled/pried on both sides, but I don't see anything that is glaringly wrong. I replaced the tie rods on both sides probably 18 months ago, and I think I have the toe in pretty close. Anyone with experience on the front ends of these have any suggestions to check?

Thanks.

2008 polaris sportsman 500 front diff lube

I am working on this Polaris and am a little confused about the filling the oil in the diff., there is a fill hole and the drain hole then it has a hose with a reservoir that in the book says it takes Polaris adc or aw iso 10 fluid. Then open 2 bleeder valves to let the air out. Is this 2 different systems or the same? Any input would be great. Thanks
