So I have the podium fox shocks on my XMR. Yes everyone says it's a mud specific bike (which we do a fair amount of in Mississippi) but I'd like a little more comfort for trail rides.
I'd love to swap shocks with somebody with an xtp but it has to be a 2017 to fit. Any other suggestions besides spending another $1500 for elkas?

Hello, my 2003 ds650?s starter does not turn the motor. You can hear it spin, and maybe grind a little but never engages the engine to spin. I was told from the guy I bought it from that he thinks it?s the one way clutch. What is your opinion? Is this common? Any info would be great

Like to see some wheels preferably not all black wheels.

So I? took a quick little ride on the trails today and kept hearing banging coming from the front end. I? took I?t in the garage so see if I? noticed anything loose. I? did pull up and down on front end and noise kept happening when I? pulled up. Looks like it?s the springs. What?s the best way to fix or replace??

I’m new here so hello to everyone.

I’m always snooping around looking for a good deal. I’m pretty mechanically inclined and enjoy tinkering..my last challenge was rebuilding the 268 4.2 in my 82 Jeep CJ8 Scrambler. It actually went pretty well.

Anyway, ran across a CL listing for a 1999 Sportsman 335. It is really clean looking but is currently not running. It’s a one owner, the owner is telling me that it ran up until a few weeks ago. The prior 6 months he had to start it using “starting fluid” but now it will not start at all. He thinks the rings are shot along with low compression caused by the use of the starting. Other than that he says everything else works fine, front the pics you can tell it has been taken care of. From what he told me he just parked it and went out and bought a new one.

I’m not an atv mechanic but as mentioned do luck tinkering. I can pick it up for $450 which sounds reasonable.

Anyone care to share their thoughts on it? What may be wrong with it? Buy or don’t buy?? Stay the heck away from it?

Thanks

2016 outlander 570- 240 miles. On 3rd. belt trying to figure what the whistling noise is at low speeds (4-8 mph), keep thinking its the belt but sick of buying them. I've never blown a belt, and never seen mud and now the 3rd belt I'm trying is made is for a bigger machine. Every time I changed a belt the noise was gone for about 15 miles and then started up again. Seems to make the noise when its warmed up. I've heard this is a common noise but I don't think it common to hear it through the woods 100 yards away whistling away. I've heard switching away from OEM belts and try after market, and also have heard this isn't common also. Any suggestions if its belt, CVT, or crappy design everyone says to just live with it?

Hello all, just got a new Polaris Sportsman 850. Picking up a Polaris Sportsman 570 for my wife later today.
It’s been 15 years since I’ve had an ATV, my how things have changed in those 15 years.

Looks forward to reading and learning from you all.
