I have a 02 Sportsman 500 H.O. It is in the constant stage of loosing coolant. Not a lot just regularly until there is finally none in the overflow container. It warms up and pressure causes small amount of coolant to be lost through overflow into the overflow container and out that cap. When it cools the coolant goes back down. After several of these times the level in the overflow goes to empty. Any ideas? I've replace the radiator cap... same thing. It's happening to my 2012 also. was thinking of putting the overflow container at a higher point...wondering if that might help. Any ideas?

New guy - picking up a well maintained 2007 Sportsman 800 this week. I rode these beasts in Afghanistan and absolutely loved them. My goal is to turn this quad into a twin of the beauty I had back in Kandahar. Oh, and I’m looking forward to taking it trail riding and hunting too!

Hey i have an 07 400 outlander and i wondered if anyone knew what would cause a coolant temp light to stay on all the time even when it's cold..and how to test the temp sensor? There are 2 connectors on the sensor and they don't have continuity.

I am replacing the wheel bearings on my 2004 Sportsman 500, who makes a good aftermarket bearing

Looking for an opinion as to whether or not to add bumpers and a front-only skid plate to my new 450 DPS. It will be primarily used for light ranch work and pulling a 52" rough-cut mower to knock down tall grass and thin brush. The area has already been cleared of obstacles.

Thanks!

Had a blast until it came time to wash them! My maverick is running Sedona Mud Rebel R/T and the Outlander is running Maxxis Big Horn 2.0

So last summer I rode alot but the quad seemed to burn alot of oil so I stopped riding it as much, but also any time I had it running it had a knock to it it that sounded like valve knock, I was told to adjust valves but im not sure how to adjust them on this quad to I didn't bother it, I just stopped riding it, I pulled it out a couple of months ago to ride it and it wouldnt idle on it's own but if I got into the gas too much it would cost down and die, so I put it aside for a couple months, now im finally getting back to it and I can't get it to start, pulled the plug and has spark, has gas but won't fire!? I pulled intake off and when I crank it air comes out of the carb along with old winter gas, I haven't got it to fire one time since pulling it out of the shed but I ran a compression test on it and it didn't even read, it would fuck the gauge alittle but didn't get anything, I assume because a valve is stuck open and all the compressed air is escaping through the carb? Can anybody help me out? Could a valve just need adjusted or be stuck open and if so how do I adjust them on a shim under bucket system?

I know exhaust threads are everywhere and I sort of got some answers but I just wanted to post again to see what people come up with. I just got a '16 renegade 1000. It came with the HMF full (i think) Performance exhaust and the HMF optimizer. Without riding it I know it will be too loud for me. I also have a stock '09 800 and I am happy with the stock sound. So my questions...

If I buy quiet cores for the dual HMF's will I actually be able to do full day trail rides with no ear plugs and no ears ringing after? And will I have to adjust my setup on the optimizer?

Hello all,

I am looking to get some bigger tires for my ATV. I have been looking through the forums and cannot find anything recent. I saw some posts about the rear passenger foot rest being in the way but also others that say the 27" will fit. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Right now I have 26x9x14 PXT and 26x11x14 PXT w/factory rims.

Thanks.
