97 polaris 425 CDI problems

Want idle or shut down with switch at times.
Ordered aftermarket off ebay..Defective..was sent a replacement..defective..
Both would make machine backfire through carburetor as if timing was off.Would not run..Any suggestions..could be 2 different brain boxes for 97.Any one had this problem..Did not want to spend the BIG bucks for factory box...

2008 outlander 400 xt efi – hard shifting – changed one ways but….

my 400 has been a hard shifter since i got it. changed the oil and it did seem to help a little. i had read all about the one way and how it would solve all my problems. pulled the primary and got the bearings out. they were a bit stiff, but not terrible. the friction washer was not there, but i had read that some ppl remove them for shift issues any way. got it all back together, leaving the cover off so i can watch it. it's still hard shifting. the one way sleeve never turns, not even a little, when the throttle is off (probably because no friction washer). bump the gas, it engages then disengages, sometimes i can then shift (presume the gears are aligned better). going from park, i can usually get P, N, R easily, but getting into drive gears is tricky. once in the drive gears, i can usually get from L, H, N, R w/o issue, but getting into P is difficult. sometimes it goes through them all w/o a problem. i notice that when i can't get into H/L, if i do get it to go, the one way sleeve moves slightly, allowing it to engage.


is there something i'm missing or need to do? would the friction washer give me a little 'movement' on the one way sleeve when the throttle is off, making it easier to shift?


any ideas would be great. thanks.

High Lifter mods

I love seeing what everyone else is running, and to see how others combat water and mud, and heat, and....

I had to replace my exhaust, it had rotted away, and I had several leaks, like 50. The head pipe seal was perfect, but from there back, holes and leaks. Put on a HMF Swamp series with a snorkel pipe. Added a EJK fuel modifier and have always run a Uni Filter.
Had one fan crap out, replaced it with an OEM unit, and constantly spray them both with a water and rust inhibitor. Cut slots all over the stock radiator cover to help get the heat out. Running the fuel modifier helped a lot with heat, and cooled down the actual exhaust pipe.
Put on a new belt, thought about installing the Dalton primary spring, but I really have no problems with the clutching with the stock sized tires. I can always spin the tires in the muck, broke one front axle, replaced it with a Cobra unit, visually bigger, seems stronger. Tires are getting chunks taken out of them, but still have tons of life left in them.

Should have taken more pictures when the bike was apart, and I was installing the new stuff. But, it's all back together now, and running well, need to get it dirty.

BRF b4 Guided ride ?

My Renegade 850 Xxc has 500 miles on it, the stock brakes are very good so I'm going to replace the pads, do I also need to replace the rotors because of the new pads

Ignition cover

I have searched without success so I'll ask.
Anybody know of or found something to use as a rain and dust cover for the ignition switch when not in use?
I really don't want to just leave my key in the ignition all the time.

2018 570 MAX.

Thanks in advance
