02 sportsman front shocks/ struts

As long as the shocks are not leaking they are still good? I get occasional knock when the shocks extent fully... like going over a large rock.. So wondering anyone can tell just how to tell if shocks are bad? There is no signs of leakage. Any ideas?

2008 ds450 slow- no crank

2008 ds450 cranks so slow it wont start unless its bumped. Replaced fuel pump, battery, valves in spec, decomp lever seems good. Motor is stock.checked starter, and wiring. What's next??

Ordering cvtech clutch

Where do you guys recommend ordering a cvtech clutch from? I hear good and bad things about many places. Where have you ordered yours from? I’m in Canada

Outlander still creeping after adjustments..

So I’ve been having trouble with gen 1 outlander creeping and making it hard to change gears.. I even got a brand ne stm secondary on, added an extra shim (4 shims total) in it and I still get creeping..

When the bike is cold it’ll change gears and won’t creep. But when I go riding for a period of time especially through the sugar sand where it really having to work and it’s hot, when I stop it wants to creep and is super hard to shift, if I can.. but as soon as I turn it off and turn it back on I can get it to shift into gear until I get on the throttle in gear. Rpms are 1200 at idle. Trans has fresh fluid in it too, belt is brand new as well. When I had the cover off the primary appears to move fine. I still need to ride it for a long time without the cover. If I add another shim I can pretty move the belt up and down freely, from how loose it is.

Gen 1 Speedometer

Hi all,

Recently my 2007 outlander 800 gauge quit working. It'll light up red but the actual gauge does not work, fuel and the DIC. The gauge lens is cracked so it does get wet. Safe to assume it needs a new gauge? If so does anyone have any for sale?

Thanks.

Wiring an LED light bar

Hey guys my first post, I have a 2018 sportsman 850 and plan to add a 75 watt light bar, 12inch with flood / spot. Not happy with stock lights. To keep it simple and still accomplish the task this is my plan. Disconnect both front bumper bulbs...do not think I need them with the light bar. Connect light bar positive at splice in one of the bumper bulb positive wires and ground the ground. Am I correct that light bar will light on low beam and I can switch to high beam...light bar off, pod light on? Any problem with light bar and I can plug in both bumper bulbs and disconnect light bar. This setup as I see lowers electrical load by unplugging front bulbs and seems very simple. Thanks in advance for your helpful comments.
