Does anybody have any experience with carrier bearings going bad or wearing so much that the wheel bearings are barely a snug fit? I replaced all 4 wheel bearing on my 2010 550XP and bushings and bearings in A arms and all the front is good but back left wheel has more or same play as before I put new stuff on. I did not personally install these bearings only the front. Well I tore the left rear apart and after taking out the C-clip holding bearing in, I turned carrier upside down and bearing fell out 1/4 to 3/8" under its own weight. This is also the side I had to replace the axle. Do these carriers wear like this or would the axle being bad be a cause of this.

Ohv parks are limited in state and we've ridden and burned out as kids, so now we just explore. Kinda been a plan to ride from my place thru the creek where it dumps into river. Tried it a month ago and failed in bottomless muck about 300yrds short of river. Weather been dry lately, creek got lower, areas dried out somewhat, so had a few hours to kill and figured y not. Rode creek to river, decided to come back and try going opposite direction since its uncharted for both of us. Had fun but got a work out winching. Overall just a typical ride, but fun since we didnt know what we'd find/get into at later stage.

Lost my phone when i had to plow thru a deadfall and a branch snapped off the mount, didnt notice until later, so luckily found it heading back other direction as we knew "that" spot had to be culprit. Buddy snapped winch line twice trying to winch up over tall log shelf, deeep hole just to left of his tires so couldnt angle up it, had to get out and go around then jump back in. Further north we got, worse the deadfalls got, plus areas too deep for us to dare riding thru

Cool area we found


Still shot from video of winch rope snapping:)


Munchie break


Final deadfall and we called it a day

My 1997 xplorer 500 is not revving all the way. half throttle is the same power as full throttle. if i go full throttle it will backfire so the engine is getting the gas but not burning it. any suggestions? it only goes about 28 mph.

New to the forum. Just got a trailblazer 250 es. Looking to do a new rim and tire set up. But can't find any real nice ones for these. Is there maybe a different offset I can go with cause that's the only problem I'm finding. I can't find any with this offset. Thanks

Has anybody ever tried to protect their radiator from getting clogged from mud with a fine screen? Really don't want to put a relocate on

I've had my 17 sportsman 850 for 2 months now. I originally wanted a 2017 scrambler but there where no brand new ones available until 18. I ride with a lot of sport quads but like to throw it in the mud and others 4x4 activities. I often find myself blazing down trails at 50+ sending the big bi**h through the air off lil doubles and drifting corners. Although this is all fun and funny to see such a big and naturally tippy and not race ready bike do; I think i made a mistake and should have waited for the scrammy.. anyone else expirence somthing similar..? Anyone make any mods to improve handling, weight transfer Nd so on so you don't feel as if your sailing a boat down a trail racing your friends..?
