I fried my top end and rebuilt it. Now it will not start. Replaced the coil, stator, crank seal behind the stator, been through about five spark plugs and even bypassed the oil injection and ran pre mixed gas. Stator is aligned properly, air/fuel screw is 1.5 turns out (tried 2 and 2.5 also) as recommended by service manual. Made sure throttle cable was adjusted properly because they have that stupid switch inside the case. Rebuilt carb as well even though fuel delivery was fine. There is no reeds on this bike and if there’s supposed to be there isn’t and it was running fine without it before I blew the top end. (Oil injection hose came out of side of carb and ran straight gas without knowing it that’s how it fried) Connecting rod is straight and no play in it at all. No metal shavings in bottom end either. I’ve even tried placing the throttle needle in all of the different positions it has. What am I missing? Lol

kids were riding my 2005 Polaris 400 sportsman & said it just quit in the yard & now it doesn't even have any readout or juice coming to the instrument panel or key switch but does have juice to the light switch on the handlebar but I have to play with the dimmer switch to make the headlights come on but then with the key on I can cross the solenoid & it will turn over but won't fire & still no juice to the instrument panel as I am turning it er by crossing the solenoid as if it is not getting to switch or panel! please any information would be greatly appreciated??

Maybe a long shot, but does anyone know if a rear hub from a 1991 350L Trail Boss will fit on a 2005 scrambler 500 HO 4x4?

i have a 2015 xmr 800 outlander. i dont use it much as it only has 50 hours on the bike. the bike began to stumble under high speed/load. figured was bad gas. used all gas put fresh gas in it with no help. one day using it to move boat around yard it just died. wouldn't start. i changed the fuel pump. (dont see a fuel filter appears just run from pump to two injectors. now it will sporadically/randomly start but wont stay running more than 15 seconds or so. i can give it some gas and it stumble but eventually die. check all fuses and are good. pulled plugs checked for spark and have spark.

what could my issue be? open to all ideas at this point

How have y'all mounted the switch for your light bar? Needing some ideas.

Anyone done a handlebar mount?

Front diff is leaking from the right axle, what could it be? Ive replaced the pinion plate seal before (because of a leak) but i thought these were "sealed" diffs? I tried to look up the diagram on babbitts but couldn't really make out a seal or anything. Its a 2016 Sportsman 1000 XP HL

Ok I know what you guys are going to say... "don't drive it on the pavement..."

BUT, here in Idaho, you run into the occasional country road so you get on their and haul ass to get to the next trail head. So, at around 35-40 MPH on pavement only, I start getting wobbles in the steering column. Could it be the EPS...? Kind of tripping me out cause on dirt there are no issues.


Thanks for the insight!

I have been having issues and not sure where to start. So I started with the fuel gauge and had issues with it running for 15 mins then started dieing.

Hi there, recently purchased Can Am Outlander which I ride in New Zealand

While cleaning my Outlander I noticed a clear plastic tube hanging down behind right front wheel. Any ideas what this tube does?
