Finally had some time today to put on on my ricochet ski plates. I'll echo what everyone else says, easy installation and great fit and coverage. I also ordered a set of Duro Powergrip v2 from Rocky mountain ATV shipped to my door for $349. 26x9-12 fronts 26x11-12 rears. Here's where I'm a little upset. I had them installed and they look awesome, but they seemed small. So after measureing with 7psi all around the fronts are 25" and the rears are about 24.75". Needless to say no where near 26". So now I can try and get a exchange with Rocky mountain, which I doubt they would do or just roll with these. Just pisses me off they can be that much smaller then 26"
What would it cost to fix the timing gear BEFORE it breaks?
Looking at a used 2010 XP touring 850....wonder what it would cost to have the timing gear replaced with the new version before it spins.
Can’t locate grease fitting
I have a 2010 Sportsman 500 HO with grease fittings front left and right as well as left and right in the rear. I located those with no problem and greased them. I am supposed to have a 5th grease fitting on the prop shaft or yolk. I'm starting to think there isn't one. Is that possible. No issues, just being proactive. If someone can enlighten me with pics or a better description, I'd sure appreciate it.
Thanks.

04-600 Twin wont suck gas
Howdy, lots of reading but first time posting.
I bought a 2004 Sportsman 600 twin with only 50 hrs on it a while ago that was running really rough and with only the choke out. I stripped everything down, ended up buying a new Carb for it. I put everything back together with a new fuel filter, air filter, carb and plugs. it won't even start now!
Checked spark - Good
Checked fuel line - Good
Sprayed in quick start - Runs for a second!
So I read that the fuel pump really works off of back pressure from the air filter, so I tried covering the air intake and it draws gas in. Then I touch the throttle and bang it starts and runs for a second then dies.
I'm guessing that something is causing it to not have enough back pressure to draw the gas in? not 100% sure how the fuel pump works or where its located.

The Best Cleaning Chemicals
Curious what everyone is using to remove a days worth of mud and grime from your machines.
I am looking for the best spray on cleaners/degreasers out there that can be used once pressure washing the bulk of the mud off.
I've used and had some decent results with the typical 409 spray, but feel there has to be something better with new technology, or is there...?
I've seen some of the manufacturers out there now have a "Moto" line, but am I paying more for the same products found in other cleaners, or are you guys finding that these lines are in fact better?
Since I've requested info from the forum, I'll share a secret of mine. When washing white colored items such as the plastics on my Scrambler, I have found that pouring Bleach White in my soapy water works like a charm. I've used BW since I was a kid and have had great results. Since it is a bit harsh, following up with a polish is recommended.

2004 400 sportsman kills when not under power
Hoping for some help. My sportsman started killing as soon as I let off the throttle. It starts fine but if I don't continue to throttle it it dies. It does not sound like it's an adjustment in the linkagewhen it dies. There is no sputtering or any hesitation when it stops running. It sounds like it ty would if you turned the key off. Now an then.maybe 1.out of every 40 times it won't turn off immediately but that is very rare. Any advice is appreciated mich.

28″ Tire size question
Hey guys,
I am debating on getting new tires for my quad as is everyone else. I want to run Blackwater evos but am between two sizes. I would like to run either 28x10R12 on all four corners or 27x11R12 rears and 27x9R12 fronts.
I would like to run the larger tires and i know i will need a clutch kit, no big deal.
The question is can i run the 28" tires on stock rims? Or will i need to purchase the same size rims all the way around?
Thanks in advance.
