I recently put an hmf performance slip on exhaust on my bike, and I noticed the pipe runs about 1/4inch away from the rear suspension spring, wondering if anyone sees any issues with the shocks heating up or if anyone has had the same setup with any issues?

Thanks

Thanks for accepting me into the club! I own a 04 Bombardier Quest 650. My kids and I enjoy cruising the farm on our atv.

2002 HO. Plowing last night my front lights and winch stopped working (this happened twice before the last time I was plowing). Turned the quad off and then on and everything worked fine again. 20 minutes later when winching UP (even if there was no weight) the lights would dim significantly and it would barely winch in and eventually would stop. Again I turned the quad off, only this time I could barely get a half crank out of it as if the battery was dead. After a couple times I could get the light to turn on when putting the key in the on position and that is when I noticed the fan wasn't running. It is pretty darn cold here so I guess it is possible that the engine was cool enough for the fan not to be running.

I had the battery tested today and it is fine. Going to start troubleshooting more tonight....any thoughts or suggestions appreciated.

Hello. My 2003 polaris 500 scrambler's 4 wheel drive engages intermittently when i have it switched on. Should i be looking for an electrical issue or can dirty hub fluid cause this issue? it hasn't been changed in some time but wasn't sure if that could result in the 4 wheel drive disengaging?

My wife took a turn plowing some snow yesterday. She loves riding and just wanted to try pushing snow. She got into some deep snow and sort of got stuck.
She tried rocking back and forth and after about 45 minutes was able to free herself.
She would peg the Rev limiter in forward and reverse while trying to get unstuck.
At one point she had the poor thing Rev limited for about 10 minutes straight. The engine was so hot it was smoking. But she just kept whipping it as hard as she could.
My question is, do I have to check the engine out for any sort of damage?
It sounds a little different now and runs a little rough.
