Elka’s Stage III – Patiently Waiting

Well, I finally pulled the trigger. I rode a bike equipped with top-of-the-line Elka's 6 years ago and since then I have never ridden anything else that compared. I am finally pulling the trigger and getting a custom-built set of Stage 3's for my bike. I sold the factory Fox Podium 1.5 QS3's that came on my bike and I'm just waiting on the Elka's to show up. Pretty stoked!



Won’t Stay Running…fuel issue?

Out riding this weekend and my wife was on her 2015 Sportsman 570 EPS. We had hit some pretty aggressive trails and were on the main road back to camp. Just cruising in low. She said the throttle started acting weird and unresponsive, then killed.

It was a little warm, but no codes. Opened the gas lid and quite a bit of pressure came out. Towed back to camp.

The gas was a bit old (8-9 months). Drained all the gas by pulling the fuel line and turning key (priming). Added new gas. It fired right up but was sluggish and kept missing as I was trying to run it. Pulled spark plug (NGK MR7F) and cleaned it up. It started running a little bit better, but still not 100%.

I'm about to go search town for a new NGK plug but I'm also aware of the fuel pump issue. I hope it's not that. Has anyone had just a fouled plug or bad gas do this? Or is it 99% of the time a bad fuel pump?

Thanks!

2015 Outlander 650 temp sensor

Anybody ever cross reference a temp sensor OEM# 278 002 895?


I found saying Bosch 0281002209 or Zexel 479799-3520 but haven't found an auto parts store that has these numbers


Any help would be greatly appreciative!

Front drive shaft removal XP1000

Serviced my 2017 1000 and discovered that the front U-joint on the front drive shaft is junk. The 1000 has 840 miles on it and I am disappointed to find the bad u-joint.

My question is, to remove the drive shaft is it as easy as knocking out the roll pin on the front pinion and then sliding the shaft towards the rear enough to get the front yoke off of the shaft?

Thanks in advance, that is what it looks like to me. I have had several Polaris machines and this is the first U-joint that has failed.
