Good afternoon,
I have a 2008 Sportsman HO 500 with 2500 miles that does not seem to hold a charge. I have read that this could be a bad stator?
How do I test to confirm?
Is this a DIY project? I have worked on cars but not much on ATVs.
Does anyone have a good breakdown on how to test/replace?
What other parts should I consider replacing "while I am in there" ?
TIA

While I had the central panel cover off this weekend, I noticed that the wires were off the back of the power outlet. I just bought the 2011 Outlander 500, used, so don't know history. Just thinking it should have wires there to hook up. Called dealership, and they described wires I just didn't see. Hate to run it up to them just to hook up two wires.
Any ideas?

Will running a smaller spare tire like a 25" screw up the rear end when you're sporting 29's? Just would use it to get out of the bush and back to truck...

Hey All,

New to the forum, I was wondering if anyone knows were to buy a rebuilt carburetor for 95 Xplorer 300 4x4. Any help would much appreciated.

Hi, How hard is it to replace a drive belt on this? can you just slip off the old one and slip a new one on? If so, is there any adjustments? I don't have a service manual,That"s why I'm asking.Thanks
p.s. It dosent have engine brake.

Hello everyone,

Couple weeks ago I purchased a 2nd hand 2013 Outlander Max 800R XTP and it is my first ATV. Last week I went to climb a sand hill with a couple of friends and they told me to use Low range to climb it slowly. So I did it and at all times it was below 6000 RPM. Suddenly, while I was climbing it sound like something just got broken and stop and turn off. I turned it on again and put R and it did but then it didn´t accept again neither L or H. We manage to put it in neutral ( never turn it on again ) again and when we were back at normal terrain ( horizontal ) I noticed that it was loosing some oil. ( in my parking place before this it never loose any oil )

I just came back from the dealer and they are telling me that I was never supposed to do that ( put L Range to climb a sand hill ) and that is reason why the gear box got a fissure.
Appreciate all your comments regarding this.

Thank you in advance!
Sam
