No start, no roll issue
I was told that first year of these bike (mine was actually assembled in late 05)
Anyway was told that the cluster did not have a dess message for wrong key ??
I bought this bike as a no start so I'm going through and repairing everything as I go. Now I've gone through entire harness , checked all switches and circuits and heres what I've got.
I have a parasitic 3volts in grounds through my start circuit. So was told that key info is lost to ecu and by taking to dealer and having key reprogrammed this issue will go away. To test the wrong key dess thing I changed the ecu and still no wrong key message or trouble code on cluster. Can anyone tell me if the early 800 outlanders have no key/dess message in cluster? If your dess is engaged what works and what doesnt.

After having several SxS and ATVs, noticed the ACE has more debris traps at rear undercarriage areas. Starting to think of making some shields to help with post ride clean ups. Muddy woods with leaves riding issue. Anyone done similar?

So in my ongoing battle with what I thought was a carb issue that caused the flooding, I found out the issue based on research is ether partial clogged muffler, or timing is off, or the cam is warn out.. this is on my 05 sportsman 700.

So I took the muffler off and I'm not seeing much but could it be time for a new one... Or if something did make a nest inside how do I get it out? See attached photos.. I don't need a new muffler just to make it look pritty.

Question. Coolant overflow tank is about empty at cold and when using it fills completely and comes out the overflow tube. Checked the radiator today when machine was warm and there wasnt and coolant that was visible or came out when I took the cap off. Ideas or anyone had this issue?

Picked up an 01 Trailblazer to fix up for the kids. Oil injection is blocked off so I have to premix and the carb was crap so I bought a 34mm Mikuni to replace the stock 30mm. Needs a slight bore, stock piston is right at service level with 115lb compression so I'm putting in a new 73mm piston. No other mods done. What are the benefits to shaving the head to up the compression? Is it worth it on an otherwise stock bike with a little bigger carb? And last, any suggestions on where to start jetting as far as premix ratio and primary/main jet size, clip position, etc.? I have a 45 pilot and 220 main in the carb now but that's quite the step up from the 30mm Mikuni with a 40 primary and 140 main. Thanks for any help guys!

The day I brought her home, 2015 renegade 1000 Xxc bone stock. Couple days after added a set of 30” silverbacks and upgrades hella bulbs in the hi/lo

I live in central NY. Among other things I plow with my quad. Lately when I start it, and go to lift the plow, nothing. First time it happened the winch would only go out, but not in. I found the ground and the contactor, everything is clean and connected, and after a few minutes it works. Last few times I’ve gone to plow, ATV fires right up but the winch doesn’t work. I jiggle the wires and check stuff, and eventually it works. Long question short, could it be so cold (low double digits), the battery has to “charge” itself until it has enough amps to use the winch? Once it starts, I can plow for 2 hours no problem

Thanks!!!

Waiting with anticipation for my lift (xp 1000 sportsman copper )to show up , pictures to follow .

Hey guys, I am new to side by side world, but I now have an opportunity to purchase a 2013 Maverick 1000R with a bit over 1500 miles on it for $8000.
Any suggestions for or against it? Should I be looking for anything specific? And are these vehicles reliable.
Ive seen some good reviews on it but I wanted some real world experience
Thank you
