Hello all,
Trying to replace seals and O-rings on my Fox 1.5" ATV Series rear shock and cannot find any info on how much oil or even the process on how to fill it, etc. I have a local shop that can do the nitrogen, but wanted to save $200 and do the seals myself. Any good resources or advice would be truly appreciated!!

Thanks in advanced!

i have a 96 trailblazer 250 , brand new topend from ritter cycle has spark has fuel has compression, so it should run right?!..wrong... well all i get is the occasional backfire it will not start at all, the crank seals are good, im running oil injector, also running premix 93 octane and klotz 2 stroke oil. also the timing is dead on

i have checked everything over and over again and all is showing good spark is strong,

what can it be that im missing please help

Hey all, new to the posting on the forums here, learnt tons about the quad using this page as a reference.
So ive got a 1998 Sportsman 500 4x4 that ive been having some issues with lately. When shifting into reverse the problem has slowly gotten worse. Initially when shifting into reverse sometimes the gears wouldnt mesh and it would grind, so id pop it back into neautral and keep trying until it would lock into gear.
That was last year.
Now my issue is when i shift into reverse and give some gas, theres an ABSOLUTELY HORRENDOUS grinding that come from it, however the reverse will still work. quad will back up no issues, it just sounds like absolute death


Any one ever had an issue like this before? just want to get an idea of what might be happening before i rip the transmission apart and cant use the quad for the season. been looking at just picking up a new trans, but if its a fairly easy fix id rather just go that way

I appreciate everyones input, and thanks for the learnin's!

I have a 2018 450 HO and the Digital gauge after about 20 miles riding starts scrolling through the different settings (i.e. speed, mileage, rpms, temp, etc). Kind of annoying? Any quick fixes and or ways to work around it?

I came across some TG Tyre Guider Atlas tires (Bighorn 2.0 knock offs) on Chaparral Motosports site for a crazy low price but can't find much for real world reviews on them.

Looking to put them on my 2010 Sportsman X2, used for utility and light recreation. Anyone heard of the line or had experience with them?

Thanks in advance!

I got a raw deal yesterday. Bought a used 2003 Sportsman 400 that looked to be in great shape. Starts right up, looks good, everything works. It had the transmission whine I'd heard about but the seller said it's always done it and i've read that it's "normal" and that it could be driven for years with that sound. Well, I went to check the transmission oil just for grins, and couldn't find the dipstick. Finally found where it was supposed to be according to a Clymer manual seller had. Low and behold, after scratching around with a screwdriver found a hole where it was supposed to be. So now the obvious question is, can I add oil, run it a little with no load, (tires off the ground) and drain it (do this procedure a couple times) to flush it out or do I have to remove the tranny, open it up and give it a good bath? I'm afraid I know the answer....

New quad i got an new to the forums...

I have a 2005 sportsman 500 HO that has 26x8x12 on the front and 26x11x12 on the rear.

I have a potential deal a new set of 26x8x12 front and 26x10x12 on the rear. Am i going to have issues with changing the rear size? Does anyone know?

What do you all consider to be the best battery chargers or maintainers for atvs. I had a Shumacher 10 amp that boiled an ag battery last winter it was an automatic type but was probably 25 yrs old so I keep an eye on when I have to use now. Also what size do you need for a atv.
