Hey guys,
as per my last post here i found metal shavings in my engine oil filter and filter case, and im wondering where to look to fix it. I also read in a few spots that the timing chains are a likely culprit, but due to my lack of working on the engines on these, I'm looking for some advice on how to check the chains and related components out to verify the failure before I just go buy a new engine. Thanks !

Hi I'm new to group thanks for the add. looking for some help on a 2003 traxter max with auto shift has rebuilt top end and when you put in any gear it feels like it engages but wont move hopefully someone can help so I can get it out and use it thanks

Hey guys I just got a 97 scrambler 400 sport and it was not running when I got it. The previous guy just rebuilt the top end bored it out and new piston. I played around with it and found it had a bad gasket on the top cylinder. I opened it up and has alot of coolant in with the piston so I replaced the gasket and tried to frail the counter balance oil but none came out not even a drop so I checked the dip stick and put 3.5oz in ran it for about 3min smoking like crazy but at first it would idle and stay running good then started dying on me. I shut it off found ALOT of oil (real dark thick oil) in the exhaust I mean pouring out into a puddle on my garage floor and went to drain the counter balance oil again and nothing came out again? Anybody have any ideas how I can fix it or what the problem is?

Anyone installed this on a renegade. How difficult is it? Wondering if I should do it or bring it to the dealer.

any one have a link to the right headlight i cant seem to find any.

So I have an 01 polaris sportsman 500ho and a few years ago it randomly quit running. Got it out this winter, rebuilt carb, new spark plug, and fresh air filter. The machine is getting spark, and i checked the fuel pump and that seems to be working as it should because there is fuel in the carb bowl, but it will not start. Crank and crank with a battery jumper on it and it wont fire. Tried to pull start, same results. I adjusted the valves to spec, and checked the timing, and the cam gear was still marked where it needed to be. Did a compression check and it reads 75 psi. Now before you say this is low, please be sure of what youre saying haha, because some say it should be over 100 and yes, it seems low, but the manual claims 60-90 psi is reasonable I guess? (according to another forum). Oil level is where it needs to be, and coolant is full. SO.... what the heck, why wont it start! Ive heard of the cams on these getting the lobes worn down too much or something? maybe thats it? but i figured if i set valves properly it should be fine. I also dumped fuel straight into cylinder, no luck, as well as starting fluid into intake, no luck, which leads me to think its something timing or cam related but everything seems fine? what do you guys think. thanks in advance!

Hey guys, I had been building up my 2015 800r outty for the past few months while everything was frozen and I just got out on the first big ride of the year on good friday. It performed amazing and blew away all the yamahas and polaris’ with snorkels and big tires. I really wanted to say to anyone who is looking into a radiator relocation and/or snorkeling, get the can am kits. The extra cost is well worth it. Everything fit together perfectly and the bike looks awesome. I have no doubts with the quality. And the can am yoshimura slip on exhaust sounds good and loud!

I was out to test this thing and I was not nice to it all day long! Had it floating with the whole rear under water at least 5 times. When I got it stuck straight up in the air for a minute or so the engine light started flashing and the engine was limited to about 4000rpm, it went away fairly quick after I started moving again. I assume because of oil going to the rear of the engine. Other than that it never complained about the rough riding.

On my Sportsman 570, there was a setting on the secondary clutch, when you pulled it apart, you could move the spring to a different hole(giggity) and that was to use for an ATV at a higher altitude where the power was down a bit, and so the clutch would be a little more aggressive to compensate?

On a new 850SP(its a 17 or 18 year model), I put on heavier 27" tires and noticed a little drop in power and acceleration over stock.

Does this clutch also have a setting, where I can adjust the stock clutch to a bit more aggressive setting and get some of that drive back? even if I lose a couple mph on the top end, I don't need 70mph on a quad, you know? Would rather have a little more drive down low and in the midrange where I can use it.

If this quad does have such a setting, what is it?

Thanks!

I guess no one makes 500 DPS halo lights??? Tricled stated they don’t make them. Anyone with a 500 put them on???

Hey so I have a 17 high 850, with 29.5 assassinators on it. I will be installing a 2" lift kit tomorrow. This thing rides terrible now. Those tires are so stiff, running on beadlocks with no air and the tire doesn't flex at all. I realize the purpose of the tires and type of atv I have but I'm wondering with the lift I got, if I cut out the bump stops in the shocks I could get more travel out of them? Any other suggestions? And my shocks are turned down all the way too.
