I had the piston skirt break off on my 97 scrambler 400. Figuring it’s age I thought it was going to happen and it did. Luckily no damage and I can redo the top end with the motor in the frame. Haven’t found any pieces so it makes me feel like it was slowing breaking up and getting spit out the exhaust. Quick hone and a wiseco piston with new rings and gasket it should be running better then when I got it. Happened in the first trip out as well, good thing is it got back to the truck and loaded under its own power was just backfiring bad

Figured before I buy Rims I'd ask on here.

My stock size Rims and Tires on a 2007 700 EFI Twin are:

Front: 26-8-12

Rear: 26-11-12


What is the advantage of going to 14 inch Rims vs staying with the 12 inch?

I do NOT plan on doing a clutch kit or lifting the bike. Would going up in size from 26 to 27 or 28 give any advantage or problems?


Thanks for your insight.

So I picked up a 91 trailblazer 250 that likes to run for about 15.minutesnthen stall. Got her for 70 bucks and in a mess. 425 I picked up free and at 1 point was all there then the locals had their pick at it while I was visiting my brother so now just the frame motor and suspension. I am thinking since the 425 is slow maybe swapping the 250 motor so I can have 4 wheel drive and a bit more snap. Can it be done.

Well I have a 91 trailblazer and a 425magnum in pieces. Goals are to get the 425 faster or the trailblazer yo 4x4.

Hello everyone, new to the forum and have I a question...

I´m about to restore a 2005 Polaris 500 ATP from my grandpa. Model No A05JD50AA
The problem is the ATP, is in a complete disassembled state so I looking for the service manual.

So far I can only find the service manual for the model no: A05MH42AH A05MH50AH A05MH59AK A05MH68AK and A05CH50FB but not for the A05JD50AA
Or can I use those service manuals for the A05JD50AA

I´m looking specifically for the wiring diagram and the carburetor assembly.
If someone could point me to a service manual for the 05 500 ATP it would be much appreciated.

Sorry for any spelling mistakes. I‘m from Germany

Thanks in advance...

I have a 2015 650 xmr I bought the bike needing motor rebuilt and I've put it just like it was when I got it other than it has all new parts so it's a 650 with Maverick heads and some kinda cams 860 mrrpm kit new crank new timing chains new spark plugs new crank case bearings the issue is it's running on one cylinder but it will run on both cylinders but not at the same time I can take the front wire off it runs idles on the back cylinder bit when you give it some gas it acts like it's getting to much fuel okay well if you take the back plug off it runs on the front cylinder it runs good takes the gas like it should just won't idle any suggestions timing is right I've checked it a 100 times got fire got gas just won't run on both sides at the same time ????? Please help

Before I start yes I’m a super noob. First time atv owner. Just picked up a trailboss 325. It was buried in snow all winter. Yesterday I put gas in it. Started 2nd pull (electric start doesn’t work) took off and died 30 seconds after. After struggling to get it started again it did the same thing. Went at it again today and it didn’t start at all and I noticed this small tube leaking gas by my back tires (pretty sure it’s coming from the carb) I attached a photo to give you guys and idea on what I’m talking about any ideas and fixes? I have 2 days to get this issue fixed so I can hit the trails on opening day. Any advice is welcome

Going riding Friday. Where is a good place to park in the SNIRT Run area and easily see the roads and trails??? Taking the wife and kid. Thinking about Towpath Restaurant for lunch and then we hit the trails.

Hi, first time poster here. I have a Polaris 400 HO 2008 that has a carb problem. Worked fine until it wouldn't start and smelled like gas. Though it was flooded so I left it alone for an hour. Tried to start it and wouldn't crank, neither through the pull cord as though it was seized. Took the side off and noticed the carb was dripping gas from two places (see picture). The air intake also had about a cup of gas in its bottom. So I'm thinking I was unable to crank it because the cylinder was filled with gas. How would you go about fixing that problem? Does it need a new carb or just a carb kit?

Thanks.
