What's red, blue blue wire going to the battery all in one ring terminal?

Putting in a fuse block to try and get some stuff off the battery. I know can't put the winch on it but to many terminals there now.

Help?

I need help of the from the forum gods!!

I'm riding at spearhead trails in Virginia for the first time and am having issues with my fan on my 2008 Sportsman 800 HO.

Several times now the fan has quit working causing "hot" light on dash along with coolant overflow and tons of steaming.

I have replaced the relays for the fan as they seem to trip and then the fan stops then they will reset and the fan comes back on. I bypassed all of the relays, switches, etc and hard wired the fan and it runs none stop for about as long as I want it too. I even had the fan installed and manually ran fan with fused wire in conjunction with a test light on fan supply to make sure it was only running when called for and it ran great. As soon as I plug it back in and let the machine operate it the relay trips out and the fan basically short cycles on and off well before it should.

The machine seems to be fine on flat trails where I can get some speed up (20-30mph) but on hills it seems to overheat. That all makes sense but I'm just trying to give as much info as possible.

As stated above I am out riding so I have limited tools at my disposal. I thought the fan was pulling too many amps at first but that doesn't seem to be the case now.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm only 2 days into a week trip and it isn't fun so far.

Sometimes when I start my 2013 550 Sportsman i have no power steering, to correct it I have to turn it off sit for a few seconds and turn the key back on, I might have to do this several times before it works! Also sometimes the fuel gauge and gear indicator randomly quits and then comes on. Anybody have this problem or any suggestions on how to fix?

I have recently purchased a 2014 Polaris sportsman 570 and I rode for hours with no issue what so ever. I decided to take the bike through some water maybe midway up the tires going about 5 miles an hour. Once I got out the water the bike began to lose power and would not go over 10 mph it eventually kills and I have to wait a few minutes before it starts up. After I kept driving to get back to the house I parked it and cleaned it off real good. I then washed it and started it back up and for some reason after washing it the bike runs perfectly fine again until I go back into the water. Please help

I'm probably getting some new wheels in a few weeks (Happy B'day to me, LOL). My tires are still in really good shape for now. So, I'll want those swapped to the new wheels. Should I take everything to the dealer to swap them? Or should I just go up to the corner tire shop and have it done there? Reason I'm wondering this... is there like a special machine to break the tires down and remount them, being that everything is smaller? Or... it doesn't matter?

Hello All,

I had a breif look on the forum but couldn't find this topic posted. I am running Apache 360 LTs on my outlander 1000 and find that my belt slips almost right away. The problem only gets worse as the season goes on. I have moved to a maverick belt but that didn't help. Any suggestions on clutch work that might help? Any of you guys out there do clutch work before installing tracks or does everyone just run the stock setup?

Hello Everyone:

I have a 2018 Can Am Defender HD10. Is there a special tool I will need to change out drive belt when the time comes to change it.

I pulled the belt cover off and I do not see how to release tension on secondary clutch.

Thanks

My 700 sportsman began bogging badly and when I pulled the carb off I found the spring on top of the main jet diaphragm sideways. I replaced it correctly and cleaned the entire carb out and now it is doing the same thing. It will run fine for about 1/4 throttle but as you accelerate it begins to bog and occasionally backfires. I have bypassed the fuel pump by running a fuel line from the tank to the carb. There seems to be a lot of blow by coming from the crankcase vent that goes to the air box. The atv has been very well cared for, not modified or run hard. The guy who owns it is older and never ran it over 25 mph if I had to guess. Always stored inside. I have run it with the air box off and tried to look inside the carb and it doesn't seem that the slide for the main jet is moving very much, not sure how much it should move. I have pulled the choke out when it bogs and it doesn't help. When it bogs down there is a strong smell of gasoline. My next step is to do compression test. Please help me..............
