Hi Guys so what are we going see, changes ? any roomers?:grin
New to me ignition coil
Hey
well today I finally got around to installing the new to me ignition coil I got off of ebay. It was used, but in one piece.
My original one was damaged the boot was ripped in two places and I used electrical tape to hold it together and the cord came right out of the boot, also tapped to prevent from coming off.
when I drove in warm to hot temps after about 15min of riding around the property just checking on things it would want to stall and hesitate on throttle. my other post of this I was told it's probably the T-Bap harness and I emailed otb power sports as another rider here advised and they told me to order the pressure sensor harness as this causes the quad to react this way when its faulty. So I ordered it and its on its way.
I finished the install of the ignition coil and the quad started up perfectly and I let it idle for about 10 min to get it warm to ensure all is good. the fan came on and off as it should to cool the rad fluid and I took a spin. For about 20min or so I tried to get the quad to "react" as it did and it wouldn't .
Have I just gotten lucky and the main problem was that damaged ignition coil boot?
what are your thoughts on this.
thanks for any advise and input

2010 Polaris Sportsmans 500 secondary clutch
I’m looking for a used secondary clutch for my 2010 Polaris Sportsmans 500. Any suggestions on where I could find one?
Clunky Hesitation When Shifting to H or R
Hello Riders, hoping someone has an answer or comment to my '13 850 HO EP issue. At just over 1,000 miles when shifting into either forward H, L gear and/or reverse, there is a short delay in the gear engagement along with a jolt as the throttle is increased. Feels like a delay in the clutch or belt engaging. This occurs either at cold startup or after running, like something needs an adjustment to "take up the slack."
Drive belt wearing out or the clutch mechanism sticking? Thanks in advance for any comments?

Noise
I recently purchased my Sportsman 700, there is a grinding noise that sounds like it's coming from the front, it gets much louder when it's moving. No matter the gear,2 or 4 wheel drive. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Bill

Trunk partition
Installing my Outsiders Mud Crew upgraded trunk seal , I noticed that my 650XTs trunk has slots that appear to be for partitions.
Does anyone know anything about this?
Is this an optional feature on some models or years? Can I get this?
TIA

Trunk seal
I wanted to upgrade the trunk seal on my 2018 650XT, mainly to keep the dust out. I found a better seal from OUTSIDERS MUD CREW . I ordered it even though it was a bit spendy. Ten days or so later I got received the wrong part. An airbox seal as it turned out. I sent them an email with a pic, and they apologized and promised to send the correct seal. Then nothing. No part, no email, no phone call.
Fearing the worst, I sent one final email .
They went overboard to make it up.
They went from being on my crap list to being a company that I can whole heartily recommend.
Since I work in retail, I know first hand that sometimes things that shouldn't happen.... Happen. Doing a transaction with someone you will never meet on the internet, is a risk. It is really nice when things go wrong and a company steps up to make it right.
Chad and his team are A OK in my book.
Oh yeah the seals are first rate as well

To bore or not to bore?
Hi - relatively new to rebuilding engines and ATV engines in particular - so please go easy on me...
I've got a 1986 Trail Boss 250 I recently bought that supposedly would only run when using starter fluid and then ran very rough. So I've been taking it apart piece by piece and today I took off the cylinder head and the piston looks like its in rough shape but i'm having a hard time determining if the cylinder walls themselves are a problem.
Since its so old and I have it all apart maybe its worth the $100 to bore it and another $100 for the piston and I've got a brand new head? Another part of me says the cylinder looks just fine and feels very smooth and I should just get new piston rings (these seem really loose) and call it a day and put that money into something else.
Here are some pictures and welcome sage advice from the group.
