2001 headlight adjustment STOP, seems silly to me

The STOP stopped me from lowering my headlight as it was pointing way up.
After I took it all apart, I am wondering what is the point of this stop on the screw, it caused me a headache.
I am thinking get rid of it. It seems like it will get in the way in the future too. I suppose I can screw the stop way up the rod.

2004 sportsman 600 electrical issue. Need help ASAP

I have a 2004 Sportsman 600, I am having an issue with when the machine is cold as in below freezing weather, you turn the key on (with the kill switch on) there is no power. The cluster doesn't light up the head lights won't come on and it won't crank. I have replaced the battery, key switch, kill switch and the winch solenoid. The only other things I have done was replacing the base gasket, and upgraded the ignition system. But the problem persisted before that. Has this happened to anyone or anyone seen this and have any fixes or suggestions? Thank you.

2011 Renegade 800 gearbox/tranny major issues

Went out for a ride last night. Was driving down icy, snowy trails, over a few whoops and everything seemed fine. Started heading home. Was doing about 40 miles an hour over a rough section, then all of a sudden I started slowing down, the machine revved up quickly , I thought I took a belt out. Nope I wish it was just a belt, second thought was there goes my diff like everybody else, nope that wasn't it either. Rear drive shaft will not turn, I can reach down and grab the output shaft where it comes out of the gearbox, and there is significant slack up and down. I do have front wheel drive, that's how I got it home. It also has low, high, and reverse, just no power is being put through the rear. Did I Shear that back output shaft do you think? I'll be tearing into it in a few days and will post pictures as well. The price of these things is kind of scary. Hopefully my case is fine and can be repaired. Anybody else ever have issues like this? Thanks guys.

2003 Polaris Sportsman 700 loose front cv axle

Hello,

I am going to link a video to an ATV I'm working on. Before I dug in to it, I thought it was the u joints. When I hold the end going into the differential, the u joint is tight and has no play. This machine has 5,500 miles. Is this normal? is it something that should be fixed? If so, how? a new differential?

Cam chain tensioner replacement Sportsman 500

My ride is a 2001 Sportsman 500. The pawl on the plunger to the cam chain tensioner does not hold the plunger in place. O.E. Replacement parts are nwot available. Does anyone have experience with the aftermarket units mechanical tensioners? Does the pawl only hold the plunger in place to ease installation? The spring appears sound. Unit only has 280 hrs on it.
