Hello,

Trying to figure out this issue, 04 400 Sportsman, AWD light randomly flickers, read the other threads and tried grounding out the brown/white wire and still no luck.

Ive taken all the connections apart I could find, cleaned and put di electric grease on. Any other suggestions? I took a video but I cant upload it here for some reason.

It just flickers sparatically.

Thanks

On my atv I need to do an oil change but, I am confused because it has two places to check oil. I am unsure if they are for the same oil or different. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Attachments included from the manual.

I am looking for a replacement left brake lever for my wife’s 2015 outlander l 450.
The stock lever is a very wide reach and since she has small hands it is difficult and tiring for her. Anyone switch out their lever with one that is either adjustable or closer to the handlebar? Thanks

So i bought an 02 sportsman 90 for $500 that looks great and seemed to be running ok enough. Put a new carb on it and an ebay cvt replacement kit, along with new plug, filters etc. It starts with the electric start sub .5 seconds, idles perfectly and runs AMAZINGLY.

Here's the rub, after half an hour to an hour of running it'll stall when you let it idle a moment changing riders and it will not restart until it's cooled down an hour or so. For additional info, even it's it has been running perfectly, if you turn it off yourself and try to restart it a few minutes later (bathroom break, drink whatever) it'll not restart until cooled.

A friend of mine mentioned an electronic choke or ecu change...I don't want to just randomly start replacing parts. Your comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have a 2010 Phoenix 200. I pulled the wrong plug while changing fluids. The plug I pulled is on the bottom of the trans. It is a 12mm hex key and when i pulled it out a check ball and a spring came with it. It shifted fine before the fluid change, and now it will not shift out of neutral. This is a customers atv so I am screwed if I can’t figure this out. Thank you In Advance...

OK so I'm actually in the middle of doing my axles and I've Googled the torque spec for the hub retaining bolt which from multiple sources say 80ft lbs. Ok, when I tighten it down that much, the hub doesn't spin .... like at all. I just want to make sure I'm doing this right? If others have similar experiences ect?

Just curious... I have a 2011 400 HO sportsman. I'm looking to buy new tires. Stock tires are 25 x 8-10 and 25 x 10-12. I can fit 27" tires on the atv but going with a tire that size.... could anything negative happen to my atv? Thanks in advance!!

Got a set of tires for my atv one was mounted on a new rim which didnt fit my atv so i had to take it off.

im looking to sell the rim as its no use to me but have no idea what it goes to.



its oem specs are 12x6 2+4 with a bolt pattern of about 183

center hole is 4 3/8"

rim says 12x6 oat kmm 5a05a9 pl-118


thanks

They're a little close on the rear but fit like a glove. If I had it to do over I'd probably just go with 26.5's since they do rub the flares slightly on high speed whoops but not enough to worry about. I now have around 14" of ground clearance so I'm happy. It'll climb anything you point it at if you do your part. Still can't get the pics off this crazy IPhone to come out right though lol. :dunno:
