I was looking into a clutch upgrade for wifes 550 x2 on the RVS website. The kicker is for the 2010 year only, there is a extra $130 tacked on for about a $395 clutch upgrade .

I have a RVS clutch spings/weights in my 800, and it works great. But, not really wanting to drop $400 on hers right now. It works ok, just takes a little extra gas to engage. Any other springs I could try? I am guessing it is a little more harsh because it is meant for 2 riders?

So, any cheap upgrades to try in the mean time? Thanks.

Hello I’m looking for help in figuring out this problem. I have a Polaris 300 2x4 1995 I ran it a few days ago and it did over heat and shut off , after it shut off I let it sit and cool off and now it won’t start the engine cranks but no start , I replaced the spark plug, cleaned the carb, replaced the gas, checked fuel filters in line. But still no start. Any help will be very Appreciated. Thank you

Hey guys I’m going to make a plow for my xmr. I’m wondering if any of you that have a plow mounted on your bike would be kind enough to show me some pics of how it mounts. I have my own idea of how to mount it but I would like to see how the pros done it. Thanks in advance

hello, has anyone had issues where one of the hillard clutches engages before the other? do they need replacement or just the coil and disk?

Hi guys. After 14 thousands kilometres and 400 mth, in my SP 500 Touring 2010, I first time took off right cover. I want to change bendix, because sometimes it is not starting from first time.
I found some oil there. Should I change oil seal?

I'm in search of the airbox lid assembly and also a left front a frame arm.

Hello Folks,

New to the forum and I'm looking for answers and confirmation. I am working on a 2016 450 HO that has some starting/running issues.

It will start, though it is hard to get it to start and it will run, spitting, sputtering and backfiring all the way. Here is what I have done...

Replaced fuel with non-ethanol fuel
replaced spark plug
removed and cleaned injector
charged battery

Here is what I believe to be the problem at this moment. I removed the spark plug to check for spark. As I was holding the boot and placing the spark plug against a metal surface and turning the engine over, I got charged... That tells me that the boot is leaking spark, right? Or is there something else I am missing.

Also, I'm told that the bike was running and then started running rough to the point it would run anymore. When I got ahold of it the battery was low. Battery isn't very old and is charging as I type this.

Thanks for any insight.

Hi guys,

I have a 2008 Scrambler 500 4x4, everything works on it perfectly, except the 4wd when in reverse.

Now, it DOES work, but it's kind of a pain to get it to engage.

When I put it in reverse (holding down the override button obviously), 4wd will not work unless I rev the engine a few times, where the rear wheels will spin, and then randomly it will engage the fronts and work from then on (although sometimes if I let off the throttle it will disengage the fronts again, requiring some more revving for it to engage again).

I have changed the oil in the front hubs, not sure what else to look for considering it works fine in forward gear, and does also work in reverse, but need to rev it a few times to get it to engage.

Also, the override button seems to be functioning correctly as well, considering if I hold it in I can go to higher speeds in reverse without it cutting the ignition.

Anyone know what wires I can disconnect to bypass the override switch in the mean time for testing?

Thanks
