problem with installing hexautoparts atv wheel spacers

Has anyone had any problems with installing hexautoparts atv wheel spacers ?
I ordered 1 inch wheel spacers for my 2008 Sportsman 500 from Hexautoparts and it only took three days shipped to my door.Really fast shipping.Opened the package,these 1 inch wheel spacers are protected well.But went to install them last night and found the holes are not large enough to fit a socket.I tried two different types.Anyone experienced this before? How do you find a proper socket ? Should I let hexautoparts know?
Thank you.

Hopefully not an Enemy

Hello,
Was wondering if you allow non Polaris atv owners to participate here? I do own a Polaris snowmobile if that counts.:grin This forum and the member MTCPP were attached to a trail that I am looking at riding. We live in a great area of this country and hope to be able to share some of our pics with you. Thanks FF

2018 Sportsman 850

I bought a brand new Sportsman 850 sp this past spring. I changed oil and filter at 25 and 50 hrs. I check oil every couple times riding and have noticed the oil level ever so slightly creeping down. I do notice at idle, standing behind, there is a little smoke/smog coming from the muffler. Is this normal or is there a chance I’m burning oil? I use Polaris extreme duty oil. Thanks for any feedback

fucking lower control arm bolts

I have a 2011 sportsman 800 I bought used. the fourth time I had it out one of the front control arm bolts fell out. this caused the lower control arm to slide off the shaft when I was going about 40mph on a relatively smooth trail. the result of the control arm sliding backwards caused the tire to get bound up in the foot well locking the tire up and caused the four wheeler to pitch sideways, roll, and throw me. anyways I replaced the bolts with grade 8 and used red locktite. I ended up spending 4 hours in the emergency room and missing time from work. I will post pictures when I can.

2 stroke oil for cold weather.

So after a week in the 30 degree range i noticed my lucas 2 stroke oil was fairly thick in the resovoir on my trailboss 250. What oil should i use for cold weather with the oil injection? I will be using it all winter so i want to make sure i do not starve the motor of oil.
