Atv box riser

I have a 2010 F-150 with the 6.5 foot box, I want to build an ATV riser so I can close the tailgate. How much of a riser do I need to build? ATV in question is a 2018 Outlander 850 XT

Whats the best tire for all around gravel/forest/light mud use?

was looking at the mega mayhems, but IMO they are too much "mud" for my needs.
I want a tire that will still be smooth on high speeds gravel/dirt roads, so I guess that excludes "mud" tires like the mega mayhems.
I do gravel, forest trail with trees, rocks, some mud, etc.


So, I was looking at the:

GBC grim reaper , looks like a solid 8 ply compromise, that will work well on gravel roads yet be tough and resistant to punctures by rocks or trees.
ITP blackwater evolution (looks like a tamer version of the grim reaper?)
I don't know much about the mud lite xtr, looks ok also?

In that category of tires, should I just keep it at the stock 26 inch size? worth it getting 27 or not?

Right now I have the stock carlisle ACT tires. (same class as the bighorns, terracross, etc.... maybe a bit too tame for my needs? they are more appropriate for dirt/gravel roads imo?)


Opinions? I can't figure out what I want/need.

Engine lugs, no power…

01 Magnum 325. Just completed a full top end rebuild on this rig, and still have power issues. Originally started with a carb rebuild due to hard starting/low power issues. Also, filter housing full of oil/fuel mixture and crankcase full of same mix. Then replaced with new carb, still no change. Discovered low compression: ripped apart top end, honed the cylinder, replaced piston and rings, cleaned combustion chamber (no work on valves at this point), reset timing, and put her back together. Still doesn't run worth a darned. Checked and reset the timing on the assumption I was off by a tooth, still no change. She starts and runs, but is bogged down and seriously lugging. Can't get up past 5 mph. She smells like she's running rich and is clearly still flooding, even though i've checked and rechecked the float setting and idle adjustment. New sparkplug, good spark. Can anyone offer suggestions as to the next step? It would be greatly appreciated!

Which Primary Clutch Puller?

I'm having a heck of a time finding the correct Primary Clutch Puller tool for the 570's. Mine are 2016, non EBS.
Anybody know a part number, OEM or aftermarket? I see them on RVS Performance, EPI, Amazon, etc, but none of them say they fit the 570.

Thanks.

Hey everyone! "Proud" owner of a 2001 Magnum 325, and decided to join this forum before I rip every last hair outta my head. Hope I get the valuable info I need, and maybe make a few friends while I'm at it!

Gear selector showing E and won’t fire

I have a 2010 outlander 800. When i turn the key on it shows neutral and then shows E and won’t fire, won’t click, nothing. It’s got a new battery, new wiring harness, new transmission sensors, all fuses are good. I can’t figure this thing out for the life of me. Any suggestions?

Need help badly….

01 sportsman 500 H.O

My 4wd quit, i have replaced both hillards, both armature plates, all is torqued properly, the fluid level is correct...

The speedo and AWD light work, and the gear position sensor seems to be working...but still nothing...

I pulled the front plastic and dashboard, everything seems to be grounded to the coil, it was rusted bad, cleaned it all up, still nothing.

Now, i noticed when i moved the unbolted dash, the engine will quit and not restart untill i put it back a certain way. I found a bare wire on the speed sensor right out of the plug, fixed that. Thought the issue was in the key switch, pulled it out, nope not that.

It seems to be in that main harness, or big speedo plug between the speedo head and the coil....

Is there a chance the stalling and 4wd issue is related? Any ideas?

help is greatly apperciated, im lost here.

Hi guys, newbie to Polaris here. Bought daughter a 250 TrailBoss with bad tires. I bought a set of new takeoffs from a newer model. Her's has the small hub on rear, can I put the newer hubs on the rear so new tires and wheels will fit or is there an adapter? Thanks in advance.....
