My 97 Sportsman 500 will periodically pull hard to side forcing me to wrestle it to hold it straight. It will stop when I jerk handle bars quickly back and forth. Frequency is progressively getting worse. Any ideas as to problem and repair. Thanks:sad

I have a 97 sportsman 500. Carburetor has slow leak so I have to turn gas off at tank to store for even a few days. Any ideas as to what might be going on. How do I determine mikuni carburetor type and model. Should I just rebuild, as it’s never been serviced or needed it until now. Thanks

Just trying to figure out what oils i need to use for both diffs, transmission,gearbox.

Can anybody help me out?

thanks

For anyone interested in being able to get the 5 blade rectangle shaped relays ( not the square 4 blade ones ) for the fuel pump , fan , lights etc on the G-1 bikes , it was also used on GM S-10's , vans etc from 1999 - 2002 as a Daytime running lamp relay .

Havent posted much, as I have been working on getting the 2008 650 Outlander I purchased all fixed up. A lot of work probably wasnt a must, but it will be a great peace of mind when I am numerous miles away from the truck. I will say however, the deeper you dig, the more things you will find to fix. Just wanted to let everyone know how much I appreciate all the support and answers to my hundreds of questions, you guys have been great.

Hi guys,
Anyone done a revalve job on the Fox shocks or even just changed the oil?
Thinking of upgrade the front shocks most because I feel the rebound on the stockers are a bit lame and feel a nicely set up Fox would do the trick as I don't actually ride that hard just feel the front bounce back a bit too fast after a hard compression. Still want that plush feeling when riding real slow in difficult terrain.

I just changed my primary clutch and it still doesn’t seem to be reaching top speed. I haven’t changed the belt but what else could I do to fix the issue. I’ve been recommended to change back to the old weights put the issue was already present with the old primary. The new primary helped the situation but still not fast enough, I think.

Hey guys,


my 2017 can am outlander 850 XT has just over 500 miles on it.


Time for the first oil change/diff/trans changes?





Our 2008 kawaski brute force 750 is much easier... LOL no pannel removing. I do have to remove the custom hitch receiver for the rear diff though.





I'm going over the book, picked up the oil filter and o-rings, oil pan crush washer, oil, and 2 bottles of diff fluid (75w90 and 75w140).


Oil cartridge filter replacement looks fairly easy, but messy, looks like I have to pull the right side panel off to get to the cartridge... lame


Oil drain and fill looks simple enough, 2.1 quarts I think I heard the guy say?



trans change, appears to be behind the same side panel/footrest (right side) cant see drain or fill but I didn't crawl under, 75W140?



Front diff, I see the fill, but not the drain... drain and fill to where it starts coming out. 75w90



Rear diff, I see the fill and drain... drain and fill to where it starts coming out 75w140?



In each change I'll clean the drain plugs magnets.


Front diff fill (drain is???), and the bottom pic is the rear diff fill and drain, angle is funny...
