Recently picked up this 95 xplorer 400 up off Craigslist for $300. It was not running, and had been sitting in a barn for years with a broken pull start. I immediately ordered a pull start rebuild kit off eBay which was very poor quality and broke pretty much right away, but it did get the 4 wheeler to start. So I just bought a new battery and use the electric start, and this engine could not run any more perfect.

Only issue(s) it has: from what I can tell neutral and high beam idiot lights don't work, so I'm assuming all of them don't work which is a little odd.... also when I push the 4x4 button I don't get the red illumination by the button that I should, I hope this doesn't effect 4x4 from engaging? Also for some reason it's missing the front chain, does anyone know where I can buy just the front chain? If I order it from polaris it's not cheap, and I can only find the entire set of 3 chains elsewhere online. Any help is appreciated with these issues, and of course here is some pictures:

I'm sure this has been reviewed to death but I had throw it out there one more time. I finally got to try my new Alpine Flex Plow yesterday and was super impressed. If you've been considering one, do it! My 570 max XT had zero issues with a foot of slushy snow. I even made a few bucks:grin

Hey guys im new here. I have 2011 xmr 800r and a 2011 650 xt.
My wife 650 has a solid tick noise that i have somewhat pin pointed down to the front jug. Seems like the noise is at camshaft speed. I removed primary clutch (stock) thinking that this was where the noise was from orignally but still is there. I have rechecked the valve lash and is set properly at 004 and 006 cold. Also removed chains and inspected guides they are in good shape and threads are 5 showing on tentioners. It seems as the bike warms up the noise fades slightly but is most proment at idle. Add some throttle and it seems to go away. I did noice the rockers have side to side play which when i rock back and for seem to be close to the sound im hearing. I know they need some side to side play just unsure of how much side to side is to much. I know these bike do have some piston slap but i dont think thats the noise im hearing. Any other input of what i can check before i start tearing motor down to see if its a rod knock or something else
Thanks bike has 7100http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/5a92d004...4881806937.mp4

So silly mistake. But has anyone used a stock bore head gasket for a can am 800 on their 840 bbk. Put a new head on my unit and grabbed a head gasket off the shelf just to find out I still have the 840 one on the shelf.....

can anyone tell me the difference of the 850 and the 850 sp? and is it worth the extra $1500? Thanks

I have a Sportsman 500 that sometimes get stuck in low gear. This seems to happen between low and reverse.

I am still running stock tires on my XP 550. Found a good deal on some lightly used Pit Bull Growlers. The stocks are 26-8-14/26-10-14. The pit bulls are 26-9-14/26-11-14. Will I have any issue going slightly wider on the stock wheels ?
