Just bought a very nice 2001 sportsman 500 RES . Speedometer not working when I bought it so got a good price. When I checked incoming voltage was only showing 6.2 volts. Does anyone know what would be causing the voltage drop from battery before I start having to run it down ? Got good 12 volts at battery. I'm really hoping speedometer is good so I don't have to bypass for AWD. Thanks for any help. This is my first ATV so excited about fixing it up.
battery problem 15 sportsman 850 SP
Hello, I need a little help or advice on a battery problem I’m having on my 2015 Sportsman 850 SP.
My dash has given me the lo battery display a few times. A few weeks ago, it displayed at between 10.5 to 10.8. I charged the battery overnight and within just a few minutes of riding the display on the ATV said 10.7 again. I removed the battery and brought it home, it set in the garage for 4 days (I never recharged it) I then checked it with my fluke meter and it read 12.2. I took it to battery’s plus to have them load test it and the test showed a good battery reading at 12.17v.
This weekend I plan on checking the battery on the quad with it running to see what I’ll get, but other than that, what else should I check? Which wires come from the charging system?
Thanks
Dave

trouble getting gas back up to carb after sitting
I am new to this forum so please excuse me if I violate any posting rules or etiquette. I have a 1995 425 Magnum 4x4 that I replaced all the fuel lines, filters, fuel pump, carb kit, shut off valve, and cleaned the tank. Prior to doing this it would start the instant you hit the switch no matter how long it sat. After doing this fuel system work, if I leave it sit any length of time (more than a couple weeks) it takes full choke and at least 30 seconds on the starter to get gas to the carburetor. I'm going to burn up the starter very soon doing this. It seems as if all the fuel must be draining completely back out of the system??? Can anyone help me figure out what to look for? Thank you!
2017 xxc suspension talk
Alright guys, got a brand new renegade. I'm a 240 pound guy. I'm looking for a good starting point on tuning the suspension to a good smooth rideable setting. Buddy of mine has a 16 renegade xmr and his suspension is way way softer then mine. Even with my high and low speed soft as it will go I can bairly push on the bike and compress the suspension. I'm looking to soften up the ride a bit while not bottoming out.

Hello all new to this forum, i was hoping someone could shed some light into this subject of can am exhaust, is anyone else interesting in a HMF performance exhaust for their 2017 outlander?, i have a 2017 Outlander 570 xt, looking on their website they only have up to 2016 available, i have emailed them and asked when a 2017 exhaust will be available and they told me they havent gotten their hands on a 2017 to test. I have researched the part numbers for a 2016 to a 2017 and it is the same exact exhaust system, all im interested in is a slip on performance exhaust from HMF, anyone here know of someone who pulled the trigger on a 2016 exhaust for their 2017? any issues? I really want an HMF pipe because of its deep tone, i dont really want high pitch raspy exhaust, if anyone has any suggestions on exhaust they are welcomed, thanks all

Please help!! Looking for some electrical knowledge 89 trailboss 250
Hey guys, I've got an 89 trail boss 250 I've fixed up, I've been using my jumper pack to start it because the battery was shot. Starts right up using the starter switch, it runs rough until I unhook the jumper box (theres no battery in it), then it runs perfectly and.. I have no power to headlights, dash light, and brakes. Where should I start?
