Thinking ahead even with a spring trip a little way out yet, but it takes time to communicate w/ one another making sure we might have things in common, could be so many things, but I'm pretty flexible, as long as I'm out riding trails, here in Michigan! Prefer a friend over 50 so as to have more in common, but I ride w/ my kids, and their buddies many times since 86, but their not able to ride this season. Get with me and hopefully we can plan a trip, as soon as weather is on our side, once again, Thanks, Steve

Good morning, friend brought in this 2004 Polaris 400 AWD sportsman 400 Independent suspension.

The rear suspension bushings on upper and lower control arms were worn out as well as the front side also, plus the rear CV axles boots and front left also where worn out. We installed all bushings, removed all three CV axles to install boots put everything back again.
When we started her up their is a grinding NOISE when shifting in reverse and low and it will not move on the ground, sometimes it will engage but turn off.
We jacked it up and the grinding noise is still their around the shifter linkage on the transmission, but the atv will engage in reverse and low and it runs smooth on the lift on all four tires, we disengaged the AWD and the rear wheels will run smooth by themselves also.
We spin the tires on neutral on the lift and they spin freely all four of them, everything seems to be in order like when removed it axles spin freely with no signs of binding or freezing up.

Did we miss something on installation? Hope someone can help.

Thanks

Hi, I've got a 97 Scrambler. I was riding it around the yard and it ran fine. Parked it and had no spark. Traced it to pick up coil and replaced the stator assembly with a Caltric replacement and added a new ignition coil for good measure. Fired it up after replacement (ran great) and it went about 100 ft then quit like it was running lean. Pushed it back to the garage and stared to run tests on it. Here is what I found.

It has spark, big fat spark that will jump over 1/2 inch

It has compression 150#

The timing marks on the cam and flywheel align and the chain is tight( I see the T through the port on recoil and the pin on the cam is pointed to top of motor)

The cam seems fine, the rocker arms have plenty if travel.

The the pick up coil is gapped at .055"


I have bypassed a fuel issue by removing carb and spraying ether directly to cyclinder.

I have done the following:

Pulled flywheel and inspected woodruff key for damage

Check stator plate for alignment and the marks still line up.

Set valve clearance .006

Replaced plugs twice

Removed exhaust, carb and plug and let it sit for 24 hrs to clear any potential flooding.(it had no gas smell, header and plugs were dry but just in case)

Charge battery

Inspected all the electrical connections

And now I'm trying to turn over, spraying ether directly into intake (no carb) and it doesn't even so much as fart o backfire. Is it possible to be 180 degrees off on these motors? It seems impossible to me.

. Instead drink water as plenty as you could. Fat burners are a awesome way to lose weight however you need to not be only relying on them. Other than thatComputer Technology Articles you need to also pass for a stroll day by day

What’s up guys , just purchased a 19 Xxc 1000R. Looking forward to thrashing this bad ass bike and learning more about them

I am looking for a Polaris Control Differential Lock, LR64 - 4010961 or it's replacement part as it has been discontinued.

Thank you,

Hello! I recently acquired a 96 Sportsman 500 from my parents that they have tried for years to get started but couldn't figure it out. So I replaced the stator, cdi box, New coil and plug wire, new plug as well. Still wouldn't start so after pulling the valve cover off and the rocker arms I noticed severe wear on the cam. Then decided to pull the head to see how the valves and piston looked and they were rusted badly. This quad sat for over 6 years after being abused my my younger brother. So I decided to rebuild the entire engine which was only about $500 surprisingly. I'm also an aircraft mechanic so I did my own labor which saved tremendously. So after the rebuild I also replaced the carb, valves, springs and even ported and polished the head then set everything to spec. Started up no problem idles perfect, revs in neutral all the way to full throttle so im thinking great not bad for $500 then comes the issue I can't seem to figure out. It runs great at low speeds alot of torque and power but after 1/2 throttle it starts to sputter and lose power. I have adjusted the new carb over and over replaced the jets and needle moved the e clip in all directions. New air filter new fuel, and the new fuel lines everything is new. Im starting to think it has something to do with the clutch or belt? Has anyone ever seen the same thing when a clutch is going out or a belt is worn. I have not pulled the clutch cover off yet and it has been sitting and probably rusty but wanted to see if this is a possibility before I tear into it. Thank you all for your time.

Question, I'm close to purchasing my first outlander xt max. So will a 2019 outlander xt max fit in the bed of my short bed 2016 f150 or should I bring my trailer to bring it home. If I wasn't driving 9 hours away I wouldn't question it but don't want to rent a trailer when I have my own.
