The starter is locking / freezing when i attempt to start my ATV. I replaced the Bendix gear assembly thinking this was the problem. I'm experiencing the same problem with the new bendix gear assembly. Upon further inspection, there appears to be excessive play between inner bendix gear shaft and the inside case bushing. How difficult is it to remove / replace the bushing?. It looks to be a bronze/brass like material which i could easily drill and use a pin punch at an angle to collapse. The ring gear and other components are in good shape. Unit has less than 300 hrs total on it.

What else should I look at?

I may run without the starter (temporarily) but starting it with the pull cord is a PITA.

TIA

Hi all

The threads out came with the drain plug upon removal from the trans on my 2001 Sportman 500. What experience do folks have with Timesert, helicoil inserts vs simply tapping to the next size. Thinking the PO used some kind of thread lock.

Thread size is 3/16-18. The case is thin and because of that I'm reluctant to use a Time-Sert or heli coil as the insert is quite a bit longer than case thickness. Thanks in advance.

Posted another thread on a starter problem.

I am considering getting my ECU reflashed and was wondering what other people have been choosing for settings with regards to fan on and off with coolant temperature. I ride mostly hard pack trails, tend to shy away from mud, and just want the quad to run cooler. Also, when they reflash are they able to set it so the machine runs a little richer to cool it down as well? I have already added a fan switch but would like the machine to run richer anyways.

Guys & Gals, We need to think about a mid winter ride in Price County, Wi. Got this emailed to me today and looks like the trails are open to ATV's all year long. Also went to VBRO and there are a ton of places to rent???

Anyone have or seen the new heated thumb throttle? What a piece of junk the wires are just sandwiches in the element not sealed or anything pull out really easy, mine came out within minutes of install, got another one looks worse then the first.

I need help. The cover of the diapram on carb cracked its a 2000 xpedition 425. What can i do this part is discontinued how can i fix this

I got these new rims put on the wife’s machine. Sedona split six beadlocks. I must say I’m kind of jealous of them! It would look real good if I washed the machine and shined the tires too but it was 24 degrees out.

I'm waiting on my 2019 Can AM Outlander 850 to come,I got it in Camo and was wondering if anybody on here has the anodized skid plates.My question is how do they look after a year or so of riding.I'm thinking of getting the orange skid plates.Thanks

With it jacked up, I noticed the rear axles are locked together. That does tend to scuff the tires, and eats up the yard more.

Year 2000 sportsman 500 model. Did they improve that in later years?

How about the front gears with AWD engaged?
