When you think about a performance upgrades on your ATV you often think about engine mods, clutch kits etc. I never thought adding a lighter wheel would make such a huge difference. I had stock steel wheels with a welded on bead kit. The front wheels were 14lbs each and the rear were 16lbs each. I bought ITP SS216 12X7 4/156 wheels that weigh 7lbs each (lightest I could find). That is 32lbs of rotational mass lost. The performance, throttle response and top speed have increased dramatically. By far the best thing I have done to this ATV so far!!! I put the 4+3 12X7 all the way around with my 26” Pit bull Growlers. I was a littler nervous the rears would not fit the 7” rims but they did just fine.

2016 850SP starting issue
Arrived at the camp last Thursday for a weekend of riding and my machine wouldn't start. My battery was fully charged. When I turned the key to start it nothing was happening, not even a click. There was another machine the same as mine there so I swapped out the key switch, no change. Checked fuses, relays, all good. After some various diagnosing I determined that I wasn't getting 12 volts to the starter solenoid. I disconnected the wire and ran a new wire up to my battery maintainer plug, touched the wire to the 12v side of the plug and the machine started, this is how I started it for the rest of the weekend. Anybody have any idea what the problem might be or where I should start looking? Is this a common issue with these bikes? Could it be the little switch on the brake lever?
Any help would be appreciated.

How Would You Feel About an ATV Riding Over Your Head? + VideoCourse builders are getting more and more creative with the features that they build into race tracks these days and “over-under’s” are certainly becoming popular. This one poses no real threat to either rider but we’ve seen some that require 100% commitment or else it’s a bad day for both riders. more
94 Polaris 300 Won’t Crank
Hello all. I have a 94 Polaris 300 2 stroke that ran perfectly fine when I parked it about a year an a half ago. Since then I haven't had any time at all to ride it. Anyways, I tried starting it yesterday and it won't even crank. I hooked up a jump box and didn't change anything. I have headlights and everything else seems to the working. I do notice however that in the center where my "dummy" instrument lights are, that my neutral light isn't coming on. I clearly have the ATV in neutral. I know there's wires and a switch for the gearshift lever for neutral, reverse,etc. coming off of the whole gearshift assembly. I haven't looked far into it to rule out the kill switch. I am just looking for direction to go in. I am moving and need to sell the atv anyways and don't have much spare time at the moment. On another note..what would be a good asking price? All plastic is in good condition and I just rebuilt the top end. Also comes with Polaris plow.
Thanks for your time

Should I get a clutch kit for my 2015 scrambler 1000
So I've recently bought 28 inch mega mayhems and I currently have my stock clutch kit, I'm just concerned if I would be having issues with burning up my belt. I would be looking at riding in more aggressive and mudding conditions as well.
Thanks!
Thanks!
