Sportsman slow crank

05 sportsman efi 700

been doing this for a few years now and i cant remember but i thought when i bought it, it cranked somewhat faster.

tried different batterys, currently have a car battery hooked in series with atv battery but it still cranks slower than i think it should. it does start, but sounds like it barely starts. in the winter on first start of the day (below freezing) it usually barely fires, stalls and stays started the 2nd attempt. hot engine, cold engine dont matter, slow crank.

tried a db electric new starter with no change.

anything else i can try?

Lift kits

So I've got my wheeler tore apart to fix handlebar play which was magnified by wheel bearings which just fell apart on the floor once I removed the hub. Now I am thinking about a lift kit now that I've got half the work done.

My question is: What is the better lifts to look at installing?

My wheeler: 2012 850 XP EPS

Lift and tires

Hey guys I have a hd10 four seater and I love this thing. I do a lot of hunting and working with it and it’s a brute!!! Problem I have is duck season is coming up and the water can get a little deep for it. What lift and tires can I go with but not hurt the ride quality?

New machines for my friend

A friend of mine just acquired a couple "new to her" machines upon my urging. She has seen some of the pics my wife has posted on Facebook and contacted me wanting to know what she should buy, where she should buy it, and what kind of money would she be talking about. I have continued to look off and on around our area and on craigslist since March even after purchasing what we have. I have friends that I have been trying to talk into buying something so they could come riding with us. One of my friends who I have sent multiple listings to called me Thursday night and told me he saw a couple of Outlander 570's listed on craigslist for what looked to be a pretty good deal. I was finishing up an unsuccessful day of hunting and told him I would check it out when I got home. Sure enough a guy was listing 2 2016 can am 570 outlander 2-up machines with 700 miles on them, just had the 500 mile service at the dealership, both with Warn winches, both have the large can am cargo box on the rear, and the little small cargo box that fits under the rear seat when removed on the front. He had them listed at $6500 each, so I called her and told her about it, being recently divorced she said she was tired of sitting around feeling sorry for herself and needed something to do so she bought them both, they will be delivered to her tomorrow morning. I will get some pics and share when she gets them. One white the other one yellow, she is pretty excited about it, will be fun to have her join us on the trails.

2015 570 Sportsman Fuel Pump Issue

2015 Sportsman 570. When I turn the key, the fuel pump no longer primes. The engine turns over, but doesn't start.

It is getting over 12 volts for approximately 3 seconds at the pump plug, and there is continuity it the fuel pump.

What am I missing? ECU, relay, fuse?

Thanks in advance.

New guy on the block

I see a lot of interesting info, will have a bit of reading to do.
Picked up my 1st ATV today, 99 Polaris xplorer 300. I can't seem to locate a manual for it.
