Okay I know this has been asked in the past but I'm having some trouble sorting things out.

I have the bike tour down, just shy of 10,000km's, as I had a seal leek in the front and rear diff this season so I thought I would do an over hall.

What I would like to do is lift the bike, perhaps put some high clearance A arms on and add a set of Elka shocks. I have spoken to Highlifter and all they provide for this bike is front A arms.

If any of you fellow 850 Touring Bikes have done this could you perhaps drop me note with what you did.

I have a set of full underbody Ricochet Skid plates but they're real heavy so I thought if I lifted the bike a bit I could go back to the original Skid Plate system.

Shocks are done so I was looking at the Elka Shock system.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

I have a 99 sportsman 500 that I just picked up for 350. I was told it just needs a new starter and battery. So today I swapped the battery and starter off of my 98. It turns over but just really slow. I tested the compression and it's 150 psi. Bit sure if that's 2 high. I am thinking it may be the pressure release on the cam. Anybody have any other ideals.

Hello all,

I recently had transmission work done on my 2007 Polaris sportsman 700. Now, while braking, the transmission sounds like it grinds. Any insight here? Not sure what else to mention but I can answer any other question you many have to help.

Thank you!

Hello all .. new to the forums .. I did do a search looking for how to hook up a reverse led light on my quad .. with no luck .. so asking here ..

I have a 2014 Sportsman 570 EPS .. just bought it ..and it has lots of mods .. but out late last night I had a hard time seeing when I was backing up ..

Will parts from Sportsman fit my 800 Ranger?

I have a 98 sportsman 500 that has a few electrical problems. It trys to turn over then just losses all voltage. Wait a couple of mins then voltage returns till u push the start button then all voltage goes away. The 2nd is I have something drawing power when the key is off. I tested the circuits the 4 wheel drive ubs draw 12 volts while the key is off then losses it when the keys is on. Any help would be appreciated

Have quadded for 25 years, nothing fast just a cruiser. Bought a Yamaha Rino, great machine
to take out the grandkids and dogs. However sold it and bought a mint 2008 Can Am Outlander 400.
Missed the driving and feeling of a quad and the narrow trails you can access.

Hi guys about to order a set of powergrip. Currently running 26x8-12 fronts and 26x10-12 rear. Looking to go to 26x9-12 and 26x11-12. Anyone run this size, doesn't look like it should be a problem but wanted to check.

Just wondering if there is anywhere to buy decent aftermarket plastics before I go through a dealer? Had a little accident over the weekend. Need the whole back piece among other things. Thanks in advance.

Ive got a mildy built, '07 rene 800.

Claims to have 12.5/13-1 compression pistons. Which I have the stock pistons in a CP Piston box along with a spec sheet, just unsure of compression ratio.

I have to put a new ECM in the bike, and am not sure what to do about a tune.

Bike also has snorkels, and a HMF Slip on.

Any input would be appreciated.
