How’s This For a “Flex” Friday + Video
How’s This For a “Flex” Friday + VideoIt’s true what they say; the bigger they are, the harder they fall. This mega lifted Polaris Ranger was teetering on that line, but the driver miraculously pulled out a save. We’re not actually sure if we should give credit to the driver in this case or the vehicle, but it was a very impressive […] more

05 800 noise/vibration
hi all.
new to me 05 sportsman 800, 1500 miles. Needed a new drive belt right away, and then we discover a harsh noise/vibration at 10? mph, esp while turning. Not constant and hard to recreate/pinpoint. It may feel like something is literally flying apart underneath. CV axles, ball joints, bushings etc all fine (new and or no play) However if you grab the front drive axle which goes to the front differential, it does move where it enters the front diff and makes a clunk. Is it ok that there is play in this or should it be perfectly solid with no play. It will happen in AWD and RWD, no difference.
Not sure what else might be helpful, thanks for any advice/help.

Painted my hubs black
I decided to get rid of the ugly chrome dingy yellow hubs and paint my black to match the wheels. I taped everything up and put plastics around them, first I cleaned the hubs then I put on two light coats of high quality primer, and three coats of black. She really looks a lot better in my opinion.
Oil drain and fill plugs.
Great find the other day, Green line 1100H-08 fits many gear cases, front diffs and transmissions. My guess from 2002 forward. Pennies compared to dealer price.

07 800 metal shavings in oil
Hey guys,
as per my last post here i found metal shavings in my engine oil filter and filter case, and im wondering where to look to fix it. I also read in a few spots that the timing chains are a likely culprit, but due to my lack of working on the engines on these, I'm looking for some advice on how to check the chains and related components out to verify the failure before I just go buy a new engine. Thanks !

Oil in exhaust
Hey guys I just got a 97 scrambler 400 sport and it was not running when I got it. The previous guy just rebuilt the top end bored it out and new piston. I played around with it and found it had a bad gasket on the top cylinder. I opened it up and has alot of coolant in with the piston so I replaced the gasket and tried to frail the counter balance oil but none came out not even a drop so I checked the dip stick and put 3.5oz in ran it for about 3min smoking like crazy but at first it would idle and stay running good then started dying on me. I shut it off found ALOT of oil (real dark thick oil) in the exhaust I mean pouring out into a puddle on my garage floor and went to drain the counter balance oil again and nothing came out again? Anybody have any ideas how I can fix it or what the problem is?
