I’m trying to help my neighbor get his rear axle out of the trans. Right now I have a bearing splitter clamp down on the outside of the joint with a 4 lbs slide hammer bolted to it and this thing has not budged. We were taking turns for probably over an hour today With that set up with no results. I was going to try and heat it but I’m not too sure if I could damage the trans what heat. I know I will ruin the seal but that’s no big deal. Is there any other ways of getting this out? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
05 Sportsman 500 ho carb. getting no power
So a little back story is 5 months ago I locked up the transmission, got a new one in put everything back together put the battery on charge and now nothing is turning on even though I started it a month ago and everything seemed fine. I am getting power to the solenoid on the incoming post but not the outgoing. Doesn't click when I turn the key and yes I verified the kill switch is in the run position. Just don't know what could be the problem besides the solenoid but wouldn't think a bad solenoid would eliminate power to everything else. Any help is appreciated.
2010 550xp will not start when hot
My 2010 550xp will not start once it gets hot. Bike will start great when it is cold (as it the engine hasn't ran in a while, or you can lay your hand on it). Once you run it for 20-30 minutes, it will just grunt when you hit the key. Took it back to dealer 5x, replaced battery several times, hooked jumper pack to it, and several other things. But nothing will help it, last thing the dealer did was they said the valves were out of adjustment bad, and it was ok for 30 or so miles, now back to the same thing. Its starting to aggravate me quite a bit now. Help would be great. Bike just acts like it is vapor locked after you get it good and hot.
500 sportsman stalls
2002 sportsman 500. I've been having issues with..i think battery drain. Ran it today at idle for about 30min. As soon as the fan kicked on it died. Had a hard time re-starting it. Started when the fan shut off. Battery is kept on tender. I had issues with it now for a while when using the plow, same thing, once the fan comes on it stalls.
temp sensor?
hi I have a 2009 500 touring that has a overheating problem, the machine will get hot and will start flashing that it is hot on the instrument pod but the fan does not come on until well after it says it is hot. thanks for your help.
New trailer
So I have a ride coming up with a buddy, both of us will be riding sportsman 570's. Neither of us have a trailer so I figure now is as good of a time as ever to look into buying a trailer. I'm really liking the idea of a hybrid trailer because it can fit then side by side vs front to back which will need at least a 16' trailer to do. I can get a r&r arc 12 for 3799 plus tax but it is a 8 week lead time and the planned ride is 3 weeks away. A different dealer has a sport haven 12' hybrid economy model for 3899 plus tax. The r&r has a beavertail which I couldn't care less about aside from it increases the door height but the sport haven looks to have a 2" taller door without the beavertail.
Does anyone have any experience with either of these brands/trailers? Any recommendations?
Thanks

2001 explorer 400 4x4 jumping out of high range tried adjusting linkage out more but still does it anyone have any suggestions for me to try before I loose my mind and my wallet. I've dumped a bunch in this thing already.

Letting ATV set for some time
Just curious of any issues I should be aware of, as my ATV and UTV will be setting unused for the next year. I took a job as a Defense Contractor out of country, so hence the reason they will be setting and not getting any use. Besides changing out all new fluids when I get home next year and charging batteries, is there anything else I'm overlooking that I should be concerned about?
