2004 Scrambler 500 4x4. I replaced the rear caliper that seemed to be frozen. Front brake lever controls the right side of the rear and works fine. The rear pedal barely pushes any fluid through. A check of the reservoir shows it is still virtually fill. How do I check whether or not the master cylinder (or that is what I assume the thing the pedal is fastened to is called) is functioning?

Which Character Would You Be in This Scenario? + VideoEvery group of friends has a number of different personality types. There’s the daredevil who’s always the one pushing limits and usually the one that gets hurt. There’s the responsible one who’s looking out for everyone’s well being and just trying to see that things run smoothly. Then there’s usually one passed out at camp […] more

Not sure what to do, in need of opinions!
Hello all,
My story is that I've been riding ATVs and dirtbikes since I was 5 (I'm now 27). I have recently been really into bikes, rode a CR250 hard in central PA for a few years and started to get more into enduro riding, so I went and bought a '17 KTM 250xc. I was having an absolute blast on it until about 3 weeks ago, after putting my 10th hour on it I glanced a tree and landed on my wrist causing a scaphoid fracture. For anyone that doesn't know anything about it, it's a horrible little bone in your wrist that takes forever to heal when broken. Now I am in a cast for what seems like the foreseeable future, working limited duty and missing out on my favorite time of the year activities, hunting, etc.
I currently have an 07 Rincon with itp wheels, bighorns, hmf exhaust and optimizer, and uni filter. I enjoy riding it but it's no Can am. Perfect for cruising around for comfort when not out on a wild 2 stroke bike.
My conondrum is that as I sit here injured, I feel like I'm never going to ride the bike as seriously as I had prior to getting hurt. I guess I'm going to wait until I'm healed up to take it out again and see how I feel, but my gut is telling me I won't be into it.
I'm considering selling the bike privately (there is a huge market for them) so I hopefully won't take too big of a hit on it. I love the idea of an 850 or 1000xtp to have an awesome quad that will still satiate my adrenaline junkie, thrill seeking, lol!
I guess I'm just seeing what other people think about it all. I would also either sell the Rincon or trade it in. As I said the Rincon is sweet, but if a quad is the only thing I'll have, I'd rather have top of the line, which I believe to be can am.
Thanks all

engine noise
Hi
just wondering I've read a few posts and some say the polaris engine is so different from others and better though the when reving up the engine in low or high gear it tends to have that type of ticking sound coming from the right side of the motor where the pull start cord is, why is polaris the only one that I've read that does that.
I stopped by my local can am dealer to see if they had any oil and they were using one of their machines to pull a jet ski on trailer. no abnormal noise from it like I hear from mine.
is there something I can add to oil to soften the noise?

Looking at picking up a ’12 Outlander 650 XT. Price right?
Found a 2012 Outlander 650 XT on Craigslist listed at $7500. It looks to be in like new condition with only 250 miles on it. Never trail ridden. NADA values it at $5550 average retail. I talked the guy down to $7k so far but that really doesn't seem like quite the right price yet because it's so far off NADA value. It's Hard to find comparables with such low mileage. Maybe im the one that's off here and that low of mileage and like new condition do warrant such a high price tag. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated to help me pull the trigger or keep Looking! Thanks in advance!
