I recently purchased a 2018 xmr 1000 and added on a wild boar radiator relocate bumper. I’ve hooked everything up just like it was pictured, but with the new relocate I’ve been getting overheat lights and it goes into limp mode. I’ve completely cleaned the radiator and reinstalled but after about a mile of riding it goes into limp mode any ideas?
FIrst Atv
Picked up at 2014 Polaris sportsman 400 HO With 70 hours. Pretty excited it is my first four wheeler. Been riding dirt bikes and motorcycles for a very long time looking forward to four wheels on the trails.
2nd battery on my popo? worth it?
So I ride all season long, and sometimes the temperature hits single digits. I run heated gloves; however, I am thinking of running heated socks, pants and some other stuff on top of that.
I was thinking of getting a normal car battery and store it in my storage compartment and just use that battery for my heated gears. Heard a normal 12v car battery can power up heated gloves, pants, and socks for a good full day (not sure on that though). Then I can just recharge it when I get home for next time use?
Or am I better off connecting another ATV battery to the main battery via positive and negative connections? question is, will the stator still charge up the 2nd battery? Will it even have enough electrical output to charge both batteries?
How does this work? thanks!!!

2003 500 ho.
Anyone out there heard of problem with this wheeler getting too warm giveing it a little workout like brush hogging and having all the power go out ? The headlights,tail light, speedometer light and digital display etc including the AWD but the wheeler will stay running and going in 2WD UNTIL you shut it down and then you can’t start it or see any sign of power until you wait about 10 minutes approximately and turn the key on and if you have your speedometer back then you have all power back and can restart the engine and everything works until the next time it happens. I’ve talked to 2 dealers and they haven’t heard of this and also Rocky Mountain sports as well as some mechanic friends. Ide appreciate any help on this. Thanks!

’01 500 carb rebuild question
I have been looking to rebuild my carb because the overflow is leaking and it's running rich.
With so many rebuild kits out there my head is spinning as to which one I should get so I figured I should ask here for suggestions.
I really want leads from ACTUAL purchase/installation experiences so I dont waste time and money on insufficient parts.

2000 magnum 325
I bought a 2000 magnum 325 4x4 for my son for Christmas. It's his first 4x4 atv. When I went to look at the atv, I must have walk around that machine 20+ times checking it out. I rode it for about 10-15 minutes, checking the brakes, 4x4, ect. I even ask for a block to lift the rear off the dirt to check the 4x4. I should of check it more.
Well gave it to him yesterday morning. I went to crank it and it was knocking like crazy at idle. Once it warm up it wasn't so load. I'm going to change the oil today. The oil cooler line is leaking also, not bad but its leaking. Was tracing the lines and found the fan was unplugged. I plugged it back up and it runs all the time. I don't know if the over heat temp light works or not. I unplugged the fan. Read on the forum about wiring in a toggle switch.
Well after it warm up yesterday, my son wanted to ride around the yard a couple times. I was watching and notice that the front tires was locking up. The brake handle was so hard I could barely press it. I bleed the brakes, I got that worked out, I thought, now I have no back brakes with the foot pedal. And the hand brakes still gets real tight. Im going to try bleeding the whole system again. The brake fluid was kind of dark and rusting looking. All the brakes worked when I bought it.
Well after I thought I had the brake problem fixed we road to the hunting lease to check cameras and stuff. We had to run through some mud and water, well about half way through the mudding trail the front tires( a least the right one) stop pulling. Then to top things off, it cut off and would not crank back up( with the button or pull cord). My oldest son had to pull us out and home with our 500 sp. My youngest son looked at me, he didnt say it, but I read it on his face, (Dad want kind of peace of junk did you buy me).
Got it back to the shop and charged the battery. It still wouldn't crank. I checked the gas, there was gas in it but I could see the white of the gas tank, so I put on reserve (nowhere to get gas on Christmas) and after a couple of time it finally cranked and ran.
I had to call it a day and cool off because all I wanted to do was load it back up and carry back where I got it from.
So this morning my journey begins in trying to fix this atv. Sorry the post is long. I had to vent a little. The first thing I need is a service/repair manual. Any help, info and suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

1991 trail boss 250 oil warning
1991 trailboss 250 4x4 w918127
This bike had new top end rebuilt before i bought it bike starts and runs lots of smoke so i know it is getting oil but when bike is put into gear oil light on dash comes on?
2 stroke oil is more than half full and i dont see any sensor anywhere on bike.
Fan has been converted to switch on and off.
Any ideas on why oil warning comes on?
could a bad battery cause this, but battery starts quad no issues?
