I'm working on my 2003 sportsman 500. I bought it a few weeks ago and found a destroyed ball joint on the left side.

After using some jbweld and a grease gun I got the old ball joint cup out and also got the stem out of the a-arm tonight with some fire and hammer.

I'm putting the lower strut back on and was wondering what the best way to compress the spring is to get the whole shock assembly back to the compression it was at.

Can I just lower the bike off of the jack to get it to sit on all 4 wheels and tighten everything up once assembled?

Is there a better way?

Hello
Just an intro to get me going. I'm from Tasmania Australia and Ive just purchased a 2018 scrambler. I'm interested in information on upgrades/parts/and general tech. thanks you

I’m looking at a 2018 Sportsman 570 base model. I am in Ohio and so far have gotten quotes from a dealer in Michigan, Lexington Powersports in KY and Abernathy in TN. Abernathy’s price crushed the above two dealers. When trying to get a dealer closer to match, they said “by all means go out of state but you will find they are full of it and it will be a nightmare trying to register it in Ohio.”

I’m sure many of you have bought out of state, any tips? I see a lot of people talk about Abernathy, will I have any issues? I don’t mind a drive, I have family that way so I can make it a worth while trip.

Thanks

So found my sway bar bushings are sloppy on my 2001 magnum 325. Looks like a 1/2 drive two unscrew. Is that all there is to it?

I recently bought a 2012 Sportsman 850 XP and the rear end bearings are shot! I bought a rebuild kit and am trying to remove the gearbox from the frame. Do i have to remove the clutch to make room? If so do I just remove the center bolt of the clutch and pull it off. Is it lefthanded? I sure need to get this thing out!

Thanks for the help. Kevin

2017 Scrambler 1000 Switches gears fine from park to reverse to neutral to low to high, but my dash shows L for low and High. Although everything works how it should. I replaced the gear position sensor and it did nothing. Any ideas of the problem?

Good evening, I’m looking at the 2018 570 eps and also the 570 utility. Does anyone have any input that would be helpful on what one would actually be better for trail riding (gravel, dirt, grass, rock). I like both but the utility has more tie down options and front guard already. And being a girl, I like the gray color of the utility lol. The only thing negative I’ve heard isn’t that the utility won’t go as fast a second the 570 eps. I’m brand new to this so any help would be very appreciated!!! Thanks Keri

Thinking about 27x10x14 (frt) and 27x12x14 (rear) in Maxxis Zilla.

Any comments? Good deal on this specific size.

Also considering 28x9x14 (frt) 28x11x14 (rear) Zillas.

Hey everyone,
Looking at installing a slip on exhaust on my 2015 can am outlander 1000 max. Was wondering if i should install a power commander to manage my fuel to air ratio? Also if you could throw out some advice on what slip on to go with ?

Have a 2016 570 and have been having many electrical problems in the past year. I don't know where to turn to anymore. It started with ECU, which i replaced. Then it went through another ECU, which I replaced again. Then the yellow plugs down below (which I had been checking regularly because many people said these wires could short) literally melted together. I then hardwired them together and that worked for 6 months. 2 weeks ago it finally shot to shit and melted again, so I bought a stator and another ECU, put them on today, charged the battery back up, and its throwing another code. This is 0 - 1268 - 3. This means its throwing to much power out according to the book. Is there was something I didn't do when putting the stator on? Is there something I should of done differently. I'm open to all suggestions, I don't know what to do anymore.
