I was riding my 850 last weekend up in northern Michigan. I noticed that it started to smoke out the exhaust. I checked the oil and it was 1qt low. I added a quart to it and within 10 miles that quart was gone! I am thinking I need a engine rebuild. I'm not that good with motors so I was thinking of just swapping that one out for another one. Does anyone know where I can locate an engine?

thanks.

While driving my 6x6 yesterday I checked my oil and it was overfull and bubbly, it looked almost like water bubbles. When I got back to camp I changed the oil, saw 1 drop of water in the oil, and when I inspected the filter in the pleats it had little droplets of water in some of the pleats. It is not antifreeze. And the oil does not appear to be mixing with water. Today when I checked it, it was high again and appeared to be bubbly again. Trying to figure out where the water may be coming from. The only thing that we can think is maybe condensation in the engine. Any idea's???

We have 2 550 Sportsman 550's. Both are low hour machines. One has had a fuel pump fail 3 times. The other machine is still on the original. Any ideas why the failures? Thanks

Hey i have a 2005 ds650 that i didnt start for about 8 months. I knew my sprag clutch was bad so i went ahaead and replaced that. I installed a new battery and now the quad doesnt want to turn over. When the start button is pressed, it makes one click from the battery area or a little squeak and thats all. What could be wrong here?

I put a new belt on tonight after 13 years with the original..haha..only 84 hours since new and 1000 miles..belt still looked great..anyway..got old one off and blew out both clutches and sprayed brake clean on clutch faces..new belt on and now the quad moves in gear and I can't shift into any gear while running..do I need to get the belt down into the secondary more? I kinda forced it on which didn't help. I read about a one way bearing in there? Quad runs and drives great overall. Thanks guys for any help..

Looking for an owners manual, repair manual and exhaust.
Picked up this lil devin very cheap but it screams like a banshee in heat when I run it down my deer trails. I hate loud. Any suggestions for the stock exhaust or refits?:devil

So I've been running the replacement non oiled K&N air filter in my 15' 800 xmr for over a year and have not had any issues. with that being said i want to know every ones opinion on K&N, i know this is a touchy issue especially on the car and truck forms. a lot of people say that the k&n filters let to much particles pass through them and that has me worried because the dirt roads i ride on get really dusty and when riding in a group im basically riding in a dust cloud. should i change this filter for other brand? or oil it?

Hello new to forums. Finally bought a new wheeler. Sick of working on my old 1990 Polaris trailboss 350l. Already got 3.8 hours and 45 miles on her going down dirt roads. (getting pretty old). Luckily I'm going to Michigan this weekend to hit up some trails.

Can't wait to do some mods since I figured it I live 40 min away from rvs performance. Will be getting the gse exhaust and filter soon. Rather go with the gse since its not as loud as other exhaust systems.

Will be using the og tires before getting new ones then keep them a a spare set. I have ordered the python front bumper from John. Should be here in a couple weeks. I will be having my brother fabricate something for the rear rack and make a small rear bumper. Can't find anything I like online and my bro is good at making brush guards. I also have a friend that wraps cars, so I might have him dress it up a little bit. He has wrapped my car that I drive right now and made it look a ton better.

Will be updating with pics as soon as I start getting some parts.

I bought my 570 bone stock and was wondering your winch setups. Polaris winches are expensive but plug and play. The people I’ve ridden with have not had good luck with warn winches. How about the smaller brands like falcon, kfi, and viper? Are these cheap quality?

Hi everyone,I have a 2000 trailboss 325 I got new in late 99. Well it's been good to me, but my silent chain just started slipping , I have a transmission here from a sportsman 400 4x4. I'm wondering if that transmission will swap into my trailboss and just not run the other sprocket to the front and use it for 2x4 and to have hi and low range,? Thanks
