Hey have a 2012 can an 500 max, I have converted it to dual A arm suspension in the front and I'm running hot shocks. Have a k&n air filter with a mbrp exhaust on it and put a dalton clutch kit in it.

It had 25" stock. I put a used set of 27" did not notice much of a different in power loss. I sold the 27" and I'm going to buy a new set of tires but not sure what size to go with. I plan on running first gen can an head lock rims.

Am I killing my bike by running larger tires? Am I going to have to replace bearings,bushing, shocks or motor sooner by running larger tires?
Dose any one know how big I can go on a first gen 500?

Hey everyone. New to Site. Been riding few years. Wondering if anyone knows if you can put a yoshi pipe on 570 xmr

I got to say I’m pretty impressed with the 570. So I’m out on the trails and I spotted people taking turns trying to pull a yxz out of the mud and up a hill so I went over to see i they needed help. The only quad that was moving it was a 850 sportsman but was still was unsuccessful. So I decided to give it a try not expecting to get any where with my 570 and maga mayhems but to my surprise it pulled it right out and I pulled him all the way back to his truck with no problem.

Just about when you think you know. You don't. 1999 Big Boss 500
I have ruled out the carb, filter, pump, lines, petcock. I have bottle fed the carb. I changed carbs. I gave it more idle jet adjustment to 2.75 turns
The plug looks lean with a white tip and dry.

I checked out the cam assy. A compression test shows 100#

The motor starts with the choke on but runs like krap. Backfires stumbles quits. After the motor warms up it runs better.

Where to look next?

thanks

:eek

Hey everyone just gearing up to do the engine oil on this 2000 Sportsman 500 and from reading all the posts in here the consensus is to use the Mobil 1 0W40 and a Napa Gold filter combo.

But before I do one last question before going out and purchasing this stuff, I live in a crazy climate swing area from minus 30 to plus 30 deg C.

Should I stay with this oil change combo?

Thanks again everyone this place is awesome and full of amazing info.

Cheers
