Want to add horn

Who makes the loudest horn? Do not want an air horn but all electric. To be mounted under the front hood. Want to use mainly when you may come up along side one of your bunch and you want them to stop. I want, need to get their attention.:eek

MAP Sensor Wiring 2008 Sportsman Touring 500 EFI

Greetings,

Easiest way to ask question: On the MAP Sensor pigtail plug, what color is in the middle?

Detailed way to ask:

Two of three wires (orange and purple) on the MAP sensor pigtail have corroded and broken off the pins of the connector. The yellow wire is in tact.

I need to know what positions to reconnect the broken wires. As viewed from the operators riding position, looking down at the sensor connector, the yellow wire is on the right.

My Clymer service manual does not indicate the color code on the pigtail connector. In fact, the wire colors in the wiring diagram are incorrect.

Service department at the Columbus, GA dealer doesn't know the answer. But they CAN help me if I purchase two new Polaris machines, 4 helmets and lifetime service warranties as well as sign over my house.

NOTE! IMPORTANT! The attached photo is upside down. AND the orange wire is only laying on the connector. The orange wire is not connected to the pin in this photo, just laying on the connector. The purple wire is not in this view.. The yellow wire is actually on the right side of the vehicle as viewed from the operators riding position looking down at the sensor. The sensor is on the intake manifold right by the fuel injector.

I've been searching for this answer for two months. Can anyone help?

Mounted my Montana GPS

This is the 3ed ATV that my Montana has been used on. I don't mind breaking off a $14 mirror playing in the trees but a $300 GPS can make even a grown man cry. Never mount the GPS above the handlebars is my feeling.
This mount is the best way we have found. It is mounted below the instrument panel and still very easy to read. The mount is wired into the bikes battery and stays on the whole time that I'm on a trip; We do not turn the GPSs off at night. It stays charged 100% so if you want to remove for reading off the bike the bat will not go dead. GPS gets its power from the mount. If you remove the GPS from the mount there is no power draw on the bike battery. If you look close you can see a screw that will lock the unit in so someone cannot walk off with it. We sooner remove and place in storage box if in a restaurant; so do not use there locking system. We do not care to use the lock system since quite often will remove to read at brake. The holding system is totally secure so the GPS can't come loose and fall off. GPS will rotate as you turn the handle bars.
Got this one from CESHOWROOM (e-Bay) (https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Garmin-...72.m2749.l2649) for $30.16 w/free shipping. There are several sellers and their prices change from time to time.

Link to manufacture (https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/89575) I beleve they make other mounts for different GPSs.

In the 1st pic you can see the bracket I needed to make for mounting the GPS mount. Bracket is mounted to the insterment pannel by 3 screews.
In 3ed pic look close and you can see the button on the left side to work the latch and lock for holding the GPS in the mount.

Total Noob have questions

Hello! New here and to the life of owning not 1 but 2 new (to me) 4 wheelers! Super fuckin excited! Within the past week I've picked up a '05 Trail Boss 330 2wd (her’s) and a '95 Sportsman 400 2 stroke 4x4 (all mine!). I'm curious about the 2 stroke and fuel. I'm quite familiar with the fact that a 2 stroke uses mixed fuel, but from what I understand these have a "tank" for the oil, regular gas in the "main tank", and they mix either in the cylinder or on its way there. My question is, do I need specific type of oil or does the 2 stroke oil I use for my weedeater work the same way.
Also, the guy I bought mine from was using pre-mix gas in the main tank as well as keeping oil in the oil tank. Should I not continue to do this as a fail safe in case the oil pump goes out?
I know this is a long one (giggity), but thanks in advance for the help!

Shock Bump Stop Melted

I have had my 2019 Outlander Max XT out riding three or four times now. I was cleaning it up the other day and noticed that the left rear shock bump stop (nearest to the exhaust pipe) was half melted. Much more and it is just going to fall off. This was really quite disappointing.

Knowing that it wasn't going to do much good, I decided to file a complaint with BRP. I got a case number and they replied in a reasonably amount of time, but basically said nothing. BRP email said "In response to your request, your dealer could provide you with more information on the heat dissipation kit and panels we offer. I have noticed there is also a recall on the unit to be repaired as soon as possible, please get the unit into a dealership for a diagnosis." It would have been nice if they could have said what the recall was for. So, at this point I guess I will be contacting the dealer and take it in for repair. It will obviously still be covered under manufacturers warranty. What worries me though is unless something is done differently, the new bump stop they put on will be melted again after a few more rides. I am definitely going to have to talk with the dealer about how they are going to correct the issue long term.
