Hello--I just posted this blog in another section, but it now appears that this is the correct forum to post my question. I recently purchased a 2005 John Deer Buck 500 atv. It only has 60 hours and it appears to be essentially brand new. I have put about 6 hours on since purchasing it this past summer. I have had no problems with it until last Sunday, I went out for a brief ride. The motor died twice, but I could re-start it, and it back fired once or twice. I was able to get back home with no further problems. Does anyone have any thoughts about these issues? Thanks in advance

I recently purchased a 2005 John Deere Buck ATV with only 60 hours .It really appears to be almost brand new. I have only put about 6 hours on it since purchasing it. I have had no problems with it but I this past Sunday, I took it out for a brief ride, and the motor died twice, and it back fired once or twice. It has never done this before. I have not had any other previous problems with since my purchase back in July. Can someone direct me to the right location to see if someone can help me with this problem? Thanks in advance

Hi all. I'm getting ready to do my first oil change on our two Outlander 450's and I'm gathering information on putting together my own oil change kit. So far I've narrowed in on Shell Rotella 5W-40 Synthetic Oil and the Hiflo 152 oil filter. Where do I get the other items in the kit? The "O-rings and washers"?
Thanks

Made the foolish mistake of attempting to jumpstart my machine using battery charger/booster without having a battery in place. (had the battery out and charging, needed to move the machine to get at other equipment and now paying the price for taking a shortcut) The machine starts (and runs), but not as easily as it had before, and neutral light is exceptionally bright. Despite being able to get it running, I'm concerned there may be issues that could end in bigger problems (fire) if left unchecked. I have not run the machine but for very short periods to do some basic evaluation. Any suggestions as to steps to assess the extent of the damage?

Hello Defender Community!

Am very grateful to know that such an enthusiastic community exists for these amazing vehicles. Coming from a car racing background I must say that I'm impressed with the technology that I see in these machines!

Having just bought a new '19 Defender XT HD10 I would greatly appreciate Snowplow recommendations. Usually I prefer to go with OEM, but since I'm unable to see plows prior to purchasing I'm unable make any judgments about design, quality, fit, etc. Also wondering about flex plow blades. Previously had a Kawasaki Mule (an absolute SLUG at 7,000 feet of elevation) with a steel plow blade which worked very well. Also please note that I'm totally OK with manual blade angle adjustment (keep it simple).

Thanks in advance for any advice!!!

Only looking for a response from the folks that have run both of these primaries please. I have no interest in clutch kits or other brand names.

I had a CVTech on my Gen 1 and although it ran superbly.... the noises that came from my snorkels drove me mad. I am wondering if there is indeed an improvement in the clutching/shifting to warrant double the price for the QSC Rev X or is simply a quieter running primary? I also don't care that the QSC is prettier! Lol

What cooler is everyone using on their Outlanders?

I'm looking at the 4.5 gallon Linq that usually goes on the SeaDoo, and was wondering if anyone has used it on their ATV, or if it fits on the ATV Linq frame.
