sportsman xp projector headlights

after piggybacking on Gofastwilly i decided to start my own thread, thanks for the input and motivation to do this myself :). been wanting to do this for a while, hids in the stock lights were better than stock left much to be desired, plus projectors always look cool :yahoocool:. this mod isnt overly difficult but there is no turning back when you start, the mods,cutting to the headlights will ruin them to go back to stock.ill update as i go, still undecided on painting or leaving chrome.i used morimoto products on my truck with great results but couldnt justify the price for the bike, so i looked to china for some clones.matchbox 2.0 kockoffs were about 50 and the halos were 15. i did opt for my ever favorite ddm tuning hid kit, went with 55watt 5000k with the new ultra bulbs,the difference can be seen in the side by side comparison pic of both 55 watt kits the other being a generic ebay kit.anyway heres some pics.

Tire pressure and pump

Hola amigos:
Leland here. I am very new to ATVs. As a matter of fact we just bought a new Outlander for mexico to use as a street ride. I have been reading in the manual about tire pressure. It says 7psi from and back. What king of air pump do you guys recommend for inflating the tires? It may sound like a dumb question but when in doubt, ask.
Thanks

2004 trailblazer 250 starter solenoid

new one does not match up exactly. The big wires match up.
There is only 1 small wire coming off of new solenoid. There were 2 small wires coming off old one.
I was told to ground the second wire.
starter turns over but wont fire up. I checked there is spark.
I removed solenoid and it will fire when i pull start it.
Put it back on and it turns over but wont fire.
something is not correct.....

Cooling system

I kind of fumbled up while I was doing some work on my XMR. I had the rear of my bike jacked up to install the trailing arm. I took a break and popped the plastic off the front mounted radiator. I saw the radiator cap and got the bright idea to check the fluid. Well, I opened the cap and saw air get sucked down into the line. Now I'm worried this is going to cause an issue with overheating. I don't know the cooling system well on these. Should I burp the system or am I fine?

Hello everyone. Just bought first ATV ever. 2017 Sportsman X2. Road it about 3 hours in the first week, now it sits in the garage. No place in Chicago area to go.
Have to wait for by ting weekends in the U.P. or in Kentucky.
Questions already:
What gun rack grippy things should I buy for holding 1 or 2 rifles across the front rack ?
Which battery tender is good to purchase?
Should I buy a spare tire, or a tire repair kit with mini compressor ? Is there an inner tube in these tires?

Planning to ride mid September at LBL Turkey Bay park for several days
..

Frank.

2005 Sportman 800

My hunting partner has an older 800 with factory tires on it. It was basically never driven when he bought it.

He blew a back tire last week. Went into our storage box @ camp and put my 2012 Sportsman 500 489 Carlisle take offs , which are too small but mount up so he could get it back to camp.

Im ofcourse against him using my take offs needless to say.

My question is, he can't buy a matching tire, they're not made anymore. They are labeled Polaris tires made by Carlisle. It's a discontinued tread. But could he buy 1 new , unmatched tread , run it, without screwing up the rear end, tranny or the 4x4 / AWD ?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Mike

Abnormal Belt wear and clutch corrosion

I have a 2015 Outlander 1000 XT-p with ~500 miles and 75hours.
I was racing a Maverick, and holding the brake with the clutch engaged to get a hole shot. I only did this once, and I really don't drive super aggressive and most of the trails I ride are rough and there are lots of hill climbs.I noticed that the belt has some abnormal wear and the primary clutch has a bit of rust on the inside sheave.
I pulled the cover to inspect after the ride and noticed some abnormal wear on the belt and the inside sheave of the primary has some surface rust (See pictures)

I am ordering a new belt for sure but I am debating whether or not to pull the clutch and service it. I am asking about it because I am wondering if this is an alignment issue or something more major.
