I've had my 2002 Ds650 Baja for over a year and I am looking to swap my swing arm and rear end . Any suggestions on what I can covert the rear end over to?

Looking at new tire and rims for my ?17 sportsman 570 w/o eps. Do you guys suggest 26? or 27?? And also does 9 and 11 inch wide tires make a big difference performance wise; and do they make a no power steering model harder to turn?

Has anybody found another outlet for cylinder head bolts for the 02-03 sportsman 700? There are plenty of aftermarket bolts for later years, but I've been unable to find anything for my 03. Just erps :angryfire: me to shell out almost $90.00 for SIX bolts. Thanks Group.

The battery for my 2004 polaris sportsman 500 HO was recently put in backwards and began smoking when the key was turned. I have switched the battery and put wiring back to make sure it is correct. I then turned the key and found that I still have power to the machine and it does crank. The first time I got a faint burning smell and removed the grill along with plastic cover. I tried it again and it still was cranking no burning smell however I figured id hold off going any further to try to prevent any damage. Any ideas on what may need to be replaced?? Thank you for any and all input as it is greatly appreciated.

I was wondering if they make a simple few mods that wouldn't break the bank. Not sure whats out their for bigger carbs or a exhaust.

Please help,
I have a 2012 Sportsman 500 HO Touring, a few months ago it started making a loud turbo sound out of the snorkels in low gear. Recently it started popping out of gear, it goes into gear smoothly but under a little bit of throttle it disengages. The output gear 91T was loose which I think is the reason for the whine in low gear but I do not see a reason of the low gear to pop out. I can take pictures if they are needed just wanted some feed back. I do plan on installing the EPI mudder clutch in since I think the tires caused most of my problems.

Thanks,

I am new to the ATV world.... just finish a top end rebuild on a Trailboss 250 87 ish model.

I also picked up a 2003 sportsman 700 that needs a fair amount of work. I am interested in modding that one to have a bit more power and get up and go.

Hoping to learn a lot here and pick up some ideas and repair questions.

I always enjoy seeing what other folks have done to their machines and the progression along the way. This is going to be my build...... albeit much less impressive than most! lol

I bought it new today. I had put the deposit down last week and went to go pick it up today and got a very nice surprise! Last week when I put down the deposit and ordered up all my accessories... Canam was only offering an additional 2 years warranty on the 2017's. This week however, they increased the warranty to 3 years on the 2017's and the dealership gave me the 3 year warranty instead of the 2 year warranty. Sweeeet!

So far I have the Twin Air filter, the Canam snorkel kit, the Baja Designs LED high-beams through Canam, the foot-peg kit and the heated hand and thumb warmers. These items were all installed at no cost by the dealer.

I've also got a Tigertail and front cargo box I'll be throwing on once I have some spare time. Pics to follow!

I just bought a 2004 Sportsman 600 twin. I attempted to replace the starter solenoid because the machine would only start every 2-3 key turns. After putting the new solenoid in, the atv won't start at all and the solenoid isn't even clicking. I put the old solenoid back on and got the same result. I'm 90% sure I wired the solenoid correctly. What might the problem be?

Anyone can help me troubleshoot my issue.
I have no rear breaks, the foot pedal is soft and the break caliper is not moving. Front breaks are working fine (handle bar).
I checked the pads and all three are 80%. Fluid level is good too.

Bike will not start when in gear. It will only start in Parking or Netural.

Much appreciated for any advice I can get.
