The ATV ran for about 5 minutes idling the other day, then died. Wouldn't start with the key, but I was able to pull start it. I ran it for about 30-45 minutes and turned it off. It made a noise when I tried to start it, wouldn't start, so I was able to pull start it. Went out to start it today, and no illumination on the screen, wouldn't start- no noise. I took the cover off and all seemed well, when putting the cover back on it tried to illuminate the screen but wouldn't stay on. I checked and tightened the battery connections. I took apart what I could and couldn't find anything obviously wrong except I need to top off my antifreeze. And now it won't let me pull start it. I don't have a voltage meter (plan to get one tomorrow) but I got zapped by the battery when I was tightening the connections. Help!!! Please!!!!
problem
570 sportsman efi eps touring 470 hours 4300 miles, started a month ago sputtering going up hill, clean tank, new plug sprayed connections, run fine for two weeks now it started again, was able to idle it home but when giving it throttle to get up a grade sputter and back fire thru exhaust, this morning it ran fine when cooled down but the idle varies 100 rpms and no codes showed up any opinions, going to town tomorrow to get a fuel pressure gauge
Fixed the footwell cracked off front edge, almost good as new.
I was not responsible for that damage, happened years ago, nephews did it and taped it together.
I took off the footwell, cleaned off the dirt and tape residue.
I used my Weller solder gun, and edge stitched it back together inch by inch front and back sides.
Then to smooth it and glue it together more securely, used my propane torch direct to the plastic surface.
Heated the surface, then using a screwdriver smoothed the plastic all over. The plastic is fiberglass reinforced, so you can slightly see the fiberglass milled fibers showing. Using the torch is a delicate process, you want to melt and soften the plastic, but not too much, and you don't want to burn it or catch fire.
It is real solid strong again. It was not too hard, I have repaired plastic before using heat to melt it back together.

Hello everyone
Just purchased my 2019 Maverick Sport 1000R. Loving it so far. Big difference from the Teryx4 that I had.

Tire size question – Outlander 500 MAX XT
I was hoping to put larger / wider tires on my 2015 Outlander 500 MAX XT. It comes stock with 26x8-12 (front) & 26x10-12 (rear). Do any of you know if I will need to lift the suspension or use wheel spacers for extra width if I were to go up to 27x9-12 (front) & 27x11-12 (rear)? Any other issues I should be concerned with? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Beadlocks
Soooo, I have a set of ITP SD single beadlock wheels coming in the mail. First set of beadlocks on anything, I just have to get the tires off the old rims, right, and force them onto the new wheel, then assemble the ring onto the outside of the tire, sandwiching the rubber in between? Tighten in a star, criss cross pattern in steps, getting up to whatever the manufacturer says for torque settings. Any tips from current beadlock wheel owners on install and maintenance? Pure mud bike, no real high speeds, will be going up to a 31" tire.
