Kids helmets

So I am looking for a helmet for my daughter. She loves to ride with us but hates the noise of atvs. She's only 4. Any recommendations on sound reduction or sound reducing helmets for kids?

Any recommendations or suggestions would be appreciated.

Exhaust manifold gasket issues

What’s up guys! I have a 06 sportsman 800 on 29.5 outlaws and I can’t keep a exhaust manifold gasket intacted for more then a couple of rides. My right front tire hits the exhaust pipe when at full turn to the right. Of course this is the reason in keeps blowing, but I just wanted to get some opinions on fixing this. Are wheel spacers my only option? Thanks!

Gear Box

I posted earlier about my u-joint on the drive shaft off the gear box had a catastrophic failure. With the shaft removed, the yoke going into the gear box had a bit of play up/down & side to side so I figured that the bearing was bad and needed to be replaced. I have pulled the engine/gearbox and after examining the yoke the bolt that holds it to the shaft was backed out a little and when I tightened it up the play was totally gone. So it appears that the bearings are good after all. The question still remains if there are other issues inside the gearbox. And my main concern is the fact that when the rear shaft was off (no power going to the rear wheels) that at first I was able to put it in 6 wheel drive and the front wheels pulled me forward and in reverse but then just after a few feet it quit working.
So my question is has anybody ever had to drive their 4x4 with the rear drive shaft disconnected and using only the front drive. It would seem to me that you should be able to do it, but maybe there has to be some back pressure on the gearbox rear output shaft for the actuator to properly work. I’m really not looking forward to tearing into the gearbox, and if anybody knows anything about this, I’m all ears.

Vibration turning right?

I've got a 2018 450, when I turn right around a corner at 25mph or above, it will vibrate. I feel it more in the handlebars but I feel like it could be coming from the rear. The best way to describe it is it feels like gears are grinding, just without the noise. Left turns are fine though. Any ideas? Tia

Lifting a plow up

I have a 2015 570 Sportsman. A friend gave me an older plow set up (Mid and rear attachment) that I was able to adapt to this quad. I'm putting a Linear Actuator lift on the front rather than using the winch. The quad has a front bumper bar and I was wondering if the upper and middle mounting points above and below the radiator are strong enough to attach the actuator for the lifting point? Any mounting place lower interferes with the angle lever. I don't imagine the lift weight of the plow assembly is much over 50 lbs so stress on the mounting points should be reasonable. Any thoughts? Thanks.

2” bar riser

So i put a 2” rox riser in, trimmed some plastic, cut one zip tie, and removed the bolt holding the front brake junction in place. Anywhere else I get get a little slack in the front brake line? It’s right in the edge of making me uncomfortable about breaking it.

2017 ranger 1000 highlifter drive shaft noise

I have a 2017 ranger 1000 highlifter I recently put 6 inch portals and 37” bkts. Replaced oem drive shaft with beefier one. Went out to the deer lease and when I drive it, it sounds like a speed consistent clunking. Clunk clunk clunk it’s coming from right below my feet in the middle, before the carrier bearing. It almost sounds like it’s rubbing on something but I checked and nothing. Do you think it’s the weight of the new shaft? Maybe a heavy shaft just making noise? Or putting stress on the I- joints?
If anyone has any experience with this, please give me any advice or knowledge you have. Thank you in advance!

Fuel guage Blinking when tank is full

Bought a used 2015 Sportsman 570sp. Speedo is blinking empty but tank is full. I pulled out fuel pump assembly. I put my meter on it and got 6 ohms when up and 90 ohms when down and put halfway and read 50 ohms, which it supposed to read. Voltage was at 2.5 volts which I think is low. While assembly out I pulled up on float, it would read empty until I pulled all the way up and it read full but would not go anywhere in between even when I lowered it all the way, I then shut off ignition and then it would read empty. Resistance checked also at where plug in to top of assembly and was good. Is this a speedo issue since resistance seems right, but I do not have 5 vdc? Thanks in advance!

Awd light issures

I have a 99 scrambler 500 awd was previously working fine. How ever I was riding it and the awd won’t come on. The awd light will not work either. So I took switch apart to find that only one leg of the bulb was connected to the top contact. My question is where does the other leg of bulb get connected to and does the awd light have to work for the awd to kick on?
