05 ATP 500 to Sportman front suspension conversion

All,

I have a 05 ATP 500 with a very low sitting front end. Upon researching how to make the quad sit level (springs, lift). I have found out the 05 ATP has 6.7" struts and the sportsman has 8.2". I'm contemplating converting it to the Sportsman front suspension. I have looked at all the front suspension components and it looks to me like the only difference is Spring/struts/a-arms/axle shafts/tie rods. What's your thoughts? I'm I missing anything ? Does this make sense to do? or is there a better route?

ETC switch gone bad?

I have a 96 Sportsman 500 that has a the bogging issue when you give it gas. I've gone through the carb and airbox and was looking at my ETC switch. When I close it manually it has no effect on how the quad runs so I measured the resistance across the two pins and got zero resistance, like the switch is always closed. Anyone else messed with the ETC switch that may be able to shed some light on this for me?

2016 570 XMR clutch question

Hey guys, I just put 28” silverbacks on my 570 XMR and I’ve noticed it has a harder time turning the tires, which I expected. What would you guys recommend for clutch work to get that lost power back?

Cooling System Upgrades

I have a 2015 scrambler 850 and the rad fan doesn’t sound so healthy anymore. I have a temp gauge on it so I can watch the temp closer but I’m wondering what anyone has done to upgrade the fan/ radiator on their bikes. Just seeing what’s out there before i go spend $200 on a new fan. Also I’m not relocating the rad.

2011 xp 850 eps 4wd all the time after diff rebuild

Hello all,

First post here. As the title states i am having a problem. A friend picked up an 11 850 xp all stock and blew the neck off the front diff apart almost immediately. He stated he wasnt in 4wd when this occurred too which makes things interesting. I removed the diff and took it apart for him, the ring gear was chipped so that was replaced along with all new bearings, seals, and upgraded to an aluminum cage. The plastic one was not broken fyi. The armature is also in good shape.

So long story short, clean it all up, inspect, and rebuild and install. He also opted for a billet pinion cover as he broke the ADC neck.


Now after all this when the unit is in on the lift its acting as its in 4wd even with the rocker in 2wd. Also i unplugged the diff connection plug and the same result. Has anyone had this happen? Im scratching my head on this one. I took the diff back apart to double check everything and everything is as it should be. Has anyone had any issues with the male and female cup bushing wearing to the point where it will bind and do this?

Also should i have to reset the back lash preload since i replaced the ring gear? The manual states only when the cover is replaced. I am also going off an 09 manual and the internals are definitely different.


getting frustrated and wanting to get this resolved any help is appreciated.
