I'm looking for this carb for my 2001 xplorer 400 4x4. Can't seem to find one anywhere. Anyone have one or at least no where I could get one.
Thanks

Sportsman 500 Axle Problems. What to do?
So I was taking off a broken axle off of my 2012 Sportsman 500 to replace it with a new one. Boot was off and the cage broken and bearings were out with some missing. As the axle came off the top portion that goes into the rear end was already detached from the rest of the axle due to the broken cage. Got the axle out but now how do I get the end connected to the rear end off? I know that there is a ring on there and a friend already advised me to try and get some penetrating oil in there somehow and then pry from 2 sides. Well, that isn't working out for me too well. Not having any luck.
Seems that the other side is still connected but that too isn't coming off of the rear end at all either. Watched a few videos and they suggested to sort of push the axle in and then pull it back quickly with some force and it will pop out. Yeah Right! Only thing that happened there is I believe the axle detached from the cage but I cannot see that since the boot is still on. Looks like I'm going to have the same problem on both sides. Any advice on how to get that piece off? Here are a few pictures. Thanks.

Renegade XXC springs and shock settings advice
Hi all,
New member here with a suspension question. I recently purchased a new 2018 Renegade XXC with the Fox shocks. It rides like a brick. The spring pre-load is cranked way up and the ATV has more than 12 inches of ground clearance as delivered. Obviously, the pre-load adjusters for the springs need to be cranked-down so the springs can flex more (thereby also reducing that extra high ground clearance a bit).
Here's the rub, fully geared up and ready to ride I weigh about 300 pounds (I know, diet time--working on that now). I'm sure the stock springs are made for an average weight rider (say 180 pounds). Will I be able to adjust the stock shocks as-is for my weight or should I try to get heavier springs? As the springs are adjusted now, the ATV sags maybe just an inch when I sit on it. Second question--where do I find new springs? I've looked on the web and can't find any replacement springs spec'd specifically for my ATV.
So if there are any suspension experts or other heavy riders with an ATV like mine that could give me some help it would be much appreciated. If you could also give some advice on the other adjustments on the shocks that I should make that would be great too (things like settings for the low and high speed adjusters (is this what they mean by DSC?) and the rebound adjuster).
Frankly, I've only ridden this ATV across my yard as I'm afraid I'm going to break something at the trails if I don't get the shocks adjusted correctly first (it rides that stiff). FWIW, I live in northeast Ohio and ride moderately fast on trails that have a mix of flat ground, big rocks, roots, and ruts. I need to a minimum of 9 inches of ground clearance to clear obstacles. However, I also aware that 12 inches is way more than I should have, too.
What should I do?

Less than 20 hours on my 2018, gearbox is gone
2018 Outlander 850 XT-P.
80% of my riding has been on streets, frozen lakes, or easy trails... I have less than 20 hours on the machine.
I went for one hard mud ride with a group of friends and the bike performed great, drove it home with zero issues. After cleaning the bike I drove it to the gas station, parked it leaving it in High gear and shut it off. When I left and started it up I gave it gas and it wouldn't budge.
The bike was "stuck in neutral", no power to driveshafts, the shifter would move from Low down to R but not park...
Tore everything apart, the shifting linkage was fine, clutch was fine so I dropped it off to the dealer and they just called me the gearbox is toast but they don't know why yet.
I purchased the 2 year warranty so they better not try and dick me around.

New forum member from Ohio here
Hello everyone, great to be here!
Even though I just became a member to the forum this morning I've actually been using it for about a year now. I've was able to get a lot of useful answers for my projects during that time but now I'd like to be involved in the discussions, post pics, etc. so it was time to become an official forum member.
A little about me: Last summer I got back into riding ATVs after a several year break due to my job, raising the family, yadda yadda yadda. For my first ride back to the sport I chose a 2008 Can Am Renegade 800X. It was a good bike and I had some fun with it, but with like a lot of used machines, it needed more work than my schedule could handle. So time for an upgrade. Overall I liked the 800X a lot so I simply updated to a newer version of the same idea--a 2018 Renegade 850 x XC! I've had it since Memorial Day but a knee injury has kept me from riding it. The knee is doing better and I should be riding in a couple of weeks. In the meantime, I ordered some BRP HMWPE skids for it and I set about installing them last night.
It's good to be here. I’m sure you will start seeing some new posts from me soon. In fact, I guarantee you will!
See you around the forums!

06 sportsman 500 efi problem
Hey guys, trying to help my father in law out with his 2006 sportsman 500 efi. It will crank, has spark, and will spark on starter fliud but will not turn over. Took the fuel filter out and cleaned it along with the fuel injector. Is there something I could be missing as to why it's not sparking on fuel or running?
