I purchased 2 full sets of Ricochet Armor for our new machines. Everything except the rear is fine.

On the rears, it doesn't seem to line up with the instructions. If I work with it, I can make it work by placing clamps under the cv joint, and then it still seems wrong.

Is it possible they are different for 2019?

I would take a picture, but I just came in and wife says time to call it a day!

Thanks!

Has everyone noticed slight play in there tie rods? I just clicked 240 miles on my rig and noticed a little play in them this morning when I was washing it.

Anyone know the size. outside is 24mm but the inside is it M16 x1.5 that's what Im getting. I am going to have to order one and just wanted to make sure nothing available at the local parts store.

Hey everyone - I’m new to the forum and NOT mechanically inclined but I am willing to learn. I am the original owner of a 2002 Magnum 325 4x4, never had an issue with it until I noticed it having little power but still trying to go when giving it throttle. I first checked the air filter box and found the air filter was saturated with gas. Everything I’ve read tells me it’s the carburetor. It’s never been cleaned and I’ve always used 85-91 ethanol in it - so I’m guessing it’s a mess after 17 years?
Can you all give me a list of recommendations that you would do, along with a list of parts (carb parts, filters air/gas, various lines, etc) that you would buy that while I’m in there I might as well replace knowing nothing ever has? I’d like to buy as many parts as I can before taking it over to a friends (he doesn’t have ATV mechanical experience but he has done some other small engine repair work). I live an hour away from the closest shop and don’t want to open it all up and drive back and forth buying things - I can always return something if I don’t replace it. Also, I can save a lot of money by ordering off of Amazon and EBay - do you have any issues with doing that with the things you’d recommend replacing? Thanks everyone - give me your laundry list of things for me to buy, if you say a specific brand of cleaner or whatever is the best you’ve come across please put it down. Eric

Have any of you guys checked the voltage shown on the display against that shown on a separate meter?
I just found that my display appears to be showing approx. 2 volts higher on the display than what its actually showing to be charging with a meter. I got a "OVR" on the display today and its showing 16.5 - 16.7 volts on the display while running. My meter shows 14.3-14.5 volts running which is good. With engine off/key on the display shows 14.4 but the meter is showing me 12.75 volts which is also good.
I don't know if I'd ever really paid attention to the voltage on the display prior to having the "OVR" pop up lol?? I'm just wondering if its common for the readings to be off that much or if I have something else going on?

Anyone, I am looking to find out what carb would be a replacement for my sons 2006 trailblazer 250. I know they can be rebuilt but honestly I do not have the knowledge to do so. I think I can handle a swap out though. I just cannot find what carb is a replacement. Anybody help me out? I have had to tear it down to do a .040 over bore because it was loosing compression and figure it's a good time to just replace the carb while I am at it.

I have a 99 scrambler 400 4x4 I just picked it up a few days ago for $1500, only issue is this I have no rear brakes. I have a new caliper and mounts for the caliper but no rotor and I don’t know what I need to make the rotor fit the rear axle, there aren’t any teeth on the axle for the rotor to go on so I’m confused as to how it mounts. Please let me know what I need to mount the rear rotor.

if I take my eps off and send it to a dealer (570 sportsman) can they bench test it? I have fought this for a year, I got the eps light to go off by unplugging the control box, but it still doesn't work, no codes or light, no dealer to reprogram the computer, and no one is sure it isn't the computer or the eps unit, now iam thinking the unit could test allright and the computer wouldn't recognize it maybe, any ideas would be appreciated. I don't mind buying what is broken but hate to start guessing and paying.

I have a 95 xplorer 400, the head gasket blew so I replaced it and I still get coolant coming out of the exhaust when I try an start it, which it won't start. I haven't tested the compression but by pulling the rope it feels good. Any ideas where to start looking next? I've looked the head and cylinder over good and don't see any cracks.

I bought a 2014 Sportsman 400 HO, only problem balding tires. A guy I know said he would sell me brand new tires off a Polaris Ranger XP1000. Same bolt pattern, yes... My question is are the lug posts going to be the same?
