I know this has been discussed in the past but what are people running for batteries? Please include model numbers. I am contemplating a 30ah Bike Master Lithium but am not sure it'll fit and there are 0 catalogs showing it. What are people's thoughts on Lithium?

Thanks,
Tom

Hi, new to the forum as of last week.

Picked up what I thought was a 91 trail boss 350 and ends up being a 95 300 4x4 (with 91 plastics on it).

Top end was recently rebuilt and starts and runs great. I paid $600 cdn for it, so I don't feel that I'm too upside down on it yet.

Every bearing and bushing seems to be shot, so I'm in the process of tearing it down and starting a rebuild of whatever seems worn.

It's my first ATV, but I've owned and rebuilt plenty of other engines and bikes.

I know this one won't be worth what I have to put into it once I'm done, but I'm not planning on selling it.

I'm looking forward to the forum and also getting advice and knowledge once I get stuck on something.

Its been a while since i've been on here, but it feels good to be back!

I have 2 codes on 2013 850 Touring. 520194-7 and 102-2

I understand the 520194 code is TPS, ive adjusted the Kill switch on the handles bars, i may attempt to check the voltage next. if its never been touched, could it still be the voltage or does it just need a new TPS? i know its a redesigned part that they came out with in 2014, so it may be worth the change, just wasn't looking forward to spending another $200 on this thing.

Code 102-2 i understand is a T-MAP code, if google has shown me correctly. i ve replaced that before, when i had the spun timing gear issue, as others said they thought that was my issue, but it wasn't. is there any way to test this sensor?

Thank you in advance for any help!

Hey guys I know there is a lot of info out there on wheels and spacers but I am more confused now than when I started. I bought an 05 Sportsman 700 and I need to replace the tires. Not liking the chrome looking steel wheels it came with Im just looking for a wheel tire combo I can slap on. I found a newer set of wheels and was wondering what it would take to make them fit on my machine? Ive read about spacers and longer studs. It would be awesome if one of you could give me solid answer on these. Any help would be great and this forum is awesome!

Hello everyone,

I have a 2002 sportsman 500 that is burning super rich and blowing black smoke when I give it gas. It smokes quite a bit at idle too, I've been chasing this problem for months now... This isn't my first rodeo and I've tried just about everything I can think of.

I pulled the carb and put a rebuilt kit in it, cleaned it, checked all seals, float, fuel/air mixture screw and jets. I have the fuel/air mixture screw 1.5 turns out. The ATV keeps fowling plugs but runs good at high rpm and higher speeds but sputters a lot of low speeds. It idles fine but smokes. and as soon as you give it gas when in gear it sputters. The choke functions properly and the float and needle all are adjusted correctly.

It has a new air filter, new fuel, and a carb rebuild kit in it. I have pulled the carb at least 6-7 times... Any help would be greatly appreciated. Hoping its not an exhaust lobe on the CAM....

I had 2" offset rims on my 570 and loved the extra stability in the turns, made drifting around corners at higher speeds a lot safer, felt more planted and less "tip happy"...

For the 570, it was cheap to pick up a set of black, ITP steel 12" rims for like $36 each. I can't find cheap offset rims like that for the 14" size for this quad, and I don't want to spend a ton of money on "blingy" rims for something that's going to be going through mud and rocks... makes no sense to me...

So, I guess that spacers are the way to go. Want them 1.5-2" per side. Looking for something fairly cheap, that works well.

Are the front and rear the same, or are they front and rear specific?

What ones do you guys recommend, that comes with everything I will need, just bolt it up and go?

hey
well another question for ya guys
on my 2006 sportsman 500 efi the tires are original and even though tones of threads left can see some weathering on them. before I have no choice I'd like to look at some options so when I'm ready to get new tires I at least know what direction to go.

this is a pic of my atv. 26x9x12 F
26x12x12 R
ITP mud lite 6ply
is what is on it now dot's 2007
I'm not going to be doing anything crazy off road nor tons of mudding if any. to lazy to clean...lol
but similar grip and would it be possible to change up the width maybe alittle wider?
don't want to go crazy with pricing either as I'm mainly using for work around house.
free shipping to ontario canada would be nice aswell for online purchases
thanks
Glenn

I have a 2004 Predator 50. Im looking for a way to bypass all the safety switches. I would like to bypass the tether, brake and kill switches if possible.

Every month we will be having one product on sale I know everyone likes saving money so here's your chance. These will come with everything to hook this up to your atv.
You can find the 54mm Throttle Body HERE

Is this a good first step in detecting fueling issues?
Are plugs on 4-strokes slower to respond to changes than 2-strokers?
What are the proper colours and what to watch for?
thanks
