Hi from Eastern Washington

Hi everyone. I just picked up a 2014 Sportsman 850 HO XP, so will be looking forward to help from time to time.

It is in like new condition, with 450 miles and 83 hours. I plan on giving it the 100hr maintenance (changing all fluids etc. as it is almost 4-years old and time anyway. Anything else I should check? I dont really want to pull the cover and inspect the belt, but tell me if you think that to be unwise.

Future upgrades: Winch (any recommendations?); Bighorn tires

Anyway, it's good to be here!

Mr rpm maverick heads

What's everyone's real world opinion on his maverick heads?
Are they worth it or is it better to try to source some OEM maverick heads?

Blown engine?

I was riding today at about 25-30 mph when the motor makes this loud clapping noise (like the air brake on a big rig). Now the bike won't crank, it'll turn over but won't start. Any ideas? It's a 07 sportsman 500 efi

1995 Trail Boss 250 recoil assembly

What up guys! I'm trying to reassemble my recoil assembly. My spring broke inside the recoil housing and I replaced it. My trouble is putting it all back together. I have the spring in place and I've tried putting it all back. Something just not right. Anybody that has step by step on putting it back together from the spring back please share! Thanks!

General maintenance question

Picked up a 2003 Sportsman 600 from a family member a couple weeks ago. It wouldn't start and I've done the following and it is much improved.

Changed gas
Changed spark plugs
Changed oil
Changed fuel filter
Changed Carb manifold
Changed air filter
Changed battery

I'm a complete newbie and really don't have much experience with this sort of thing. Are there any other things I should look at? Seems to be running pretty well. It sat outside in the weather for about 3 years.
