Hello. I'm from MT (summer) and AZ (winter). Been riding 30+ years, mostly Yamahas. Just bought an 07 Outlander Max 650 so wife can ride in comfort. Doing some overdue maintenance on it, so this forum has been a great help.

Hey folks, I am doing some maintenance, and installing a full skid plate kit on the rig, after I changed all the fluids I put it up on the lift and spun the front and rear axles by hand, and the rear was much harder to spin than the front. Just wanted to know if this was normal. All can am synthetic fluids used, and thanks for any insight.
crank but no start 2005 Polaris Sportsman 800 EFI
Hi all,
One of my fuel injectors was leaking a bit into the crankcase so I decided to just replace both of them.
After reassembling my ATV it will crank but not start. It was running fine before I replaced the fuel injectors.
There is fuel in the rail when I push the test valve.
Any ideas? What should I check?
How do you check for spark on this ATV, the plugs are under the gas tank!?! is there some kind of tool that allow access to the plugs without removing the gas tank?
One of left side fuel injector plugged right into the wiring harness with a connector, the right side fuel injector was spliced into the wiring harness (previous owner?) so I cut that one and spliced the new one in just like the old one was.
And I disconnected the battery when installing the new fuel injectors.

2017 Polaris sportsman 850 rolls over but won’t start
Hello,
So I went out and to ride my bike today, the engine would roll over but wouldn't start (some times fires for a second or two then dies). It started and ran fine yesterday (first time in snow if that could of caused an issue). The display said low fuel and I topped it up but that made no difference. Fuel pump runs for a few seconds when I first turn the key like normal.
Engine light came on after trying to start it a few times, diagnostic code is 1268 Ignition coil primary driver 1(MAG)- DRIVER CIRCUIT SHORT TO BATTERY +.
I have the bike in the shop right now with battery charger on it(was down a little after starting attempts) and a heater blowing on it, Currently -12 here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Loving the new wheels and tires!
We got quite a bit of rain yesterday, finally.
The wife and I took advantage of the wet grounds and went for a ride. No dust was great!
This was the first ride with the new Bearclaw HTR tires on both our bikes. All I have to say is WOW!
These tires are amazing! Lateral grip is phenomenal, traction was superb in all conditions. Mud, wet rocks, sand, clay, it didnt matter. These tires grabbed everything and just pulled right through, up, and over everything we found. They cleaned out very well, even in the sticky clay. Can’t wait to get out and find some new trails to ride!
We have ridden these same trails a few times now always when it was dry with the stock tires that came on our bikes. The stock tires had less grip on a lot of the surfaces than the HTRs did over the same wet surfaces. I’m a believer and my wife is now too. She couldn’t stop talking about how well the tires performed and gave her more confidence over obstacles compared to her stock tires.
A few pics below of my toy hauling set up and the bikes out on the trails.

2018 570 x2 EPS First Problem
I’m 66 y.o. and new to riding ATVs. We purchased a couple weeks ago to get us down to lake and back, about a 30 degree hill. Yesterday it died, then orange light w/steering wheel and exclamation mark came on. Power steering out. Diagnostic Code is 31. 520230. 1. Suggestions please?
Stop Screw Factory Setting XP 850 2012?
I have just been fiddling the throttle stop screw on my intake manifold which I cannot find any factory settings for. I wonder if anyone knows how many turns I should screw it in for optimal performance. The ATV is fully original. Thanks in advance

.Running engine with no airbox and no fuel pump for problem diagnosis
Will an ATV run fairly OK with only minor adjustments needed with the airbox/filter removed? I mean a lawnmower will, so why not a ATV?
Also, to by-pass the fuel pump, can you gravity feed the carb? E.g. does a motorcycle have to have a fuel pump, or does it gravity feed the bowl due to the fact that the tank is always higher than the carb?
General questions as I am fairly new working on ATVs, and wondering what my options might be to eliminate certain parts as being 'the problem'.
I have been having issues trying to get my ATV to run right lately, and I would like to eliminate the fuel pump. But I also just installed all new guts in the carb, and would like to adjust the carb a bit before I put all the airbox stuff back on. it is a pain and time consuming to remove.
