Fabrication/Modification Life, SALUTE!

I've had my 14 XMR 650 for a few months. I've gone riding only a handful of times. I've had my quad apart more than I've ridden it. [unfortunately]

I've had this issue since the last time I've gone riding. There is a squeal or squeaking noise coming from the left rear wheel. I inspected it and found the CV axle was torn. I didn't know how long it was left unsealed for so I went ahead and changed the whole axle. Well, the squeealing is still there. Kind of sounds like it may be the bearing in the trailing arm. Does anyone else have any other opinions on what the culprit may be?

Also, after I bolted everything back together. I noticed the front suspension was creaking. If you push the nose down you can hear it. Kind of like jumping on a boxspring mattress from the 50's. Not sure but was thinking since I had the rear jacked up for a couple of weeks while I searched for an axle it may have worn down a grease point and now having a metal on metal contact.

I did go through all of the zerk fittings and re pack everything. I still have two more to go through up front but I don't suspect it's the culprit. This seems to be coming from the front springs. I tried spraying WD40 in the most common contact points to identify the location but have had no luck.

If anyone has pointers on my two questions I'd appreciate it. About to pull the trailing arm off again and have the bearing replaced on Monday. $25 dollars, just can't beat that.

Hi all from S.E. Mi.

I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas on this:

I'm getting back into quad riding and have a new 1000XP Touring and I find if I ride for more than a half hour or so, the pad of my right thumb gets sore. I tend to place it on the edge of the throttle level, which obviously isnt the best place but any lower down (on the flat side), seems a bit of a stretch.

Does anyone know of an accessory or adjustment to help with this?

Thanks,
Scott

I have adjusted the rear preload up one notch from lowest setting as I carry a passenger on the back. I am wondering if I need to adjust the front to match or how it will effect ride to only adjust the rear? What do you guys normally do for a passenger? Both riders are around 120lbs. Not a touring model.

Just sealed up the entire belt box in a sportsman 1000 highlfiter 2017. Found this in the skid plate. I know for sure I didn't take any allen bolts out except the drain and fill plugs on the diffs. So my question is any ideas where this came from? Thanks for any suggestions.

Got the bike out to do some running around. It's probably been sitting in the shop a month or so. I noticed it was idling rough and when I gave it throttle it kinda cut out. After a second it cleared up. Then at idle it would die every now and then.

Decided it needed fresh gas. Filled it up and ride about 30 minutes and it's still doing it intermittently.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I have a 2010 sportsman 550, and I can get a set of wheels that came off a RZR I need to know if they will fit my sportsman, without spacers? Thanks
