Atv caught fire and burned!!!!!

Do you own a Powermax Atv ? Or Do you know someone who owns a Powermax ATV ?

Powermax Atv’s are now being monitored by Transport Canada for serious electrical problems, gas leaks, throttle sticking and other serious problems like these.

This was a brand new 2013 700 Powermax Atv and it had serious problems such has the throttle sticking , gas leaks and electrical problems from just 55 km to approximately 900 km. It caught fire and burned.

If there are more Powermax Atvs being used on our trails and forest it is not just the owners of Powermax Atvs that maybe in danger but you and your family could be seriously hurt or killed if there are more Powermax ATVs with these serious problems being used.

If you would like to report a Powermax Atv to Transport Canada let me know and I will help you do that for free. I have found other Powermax Customers that have serious problems with their ATV.

The main reason for me letting you know about this is safety concerns for you and your family but I also did not get any help from Powermax warranty. They said that because my Powermax ATV burned there was no way to prove what happened to it.

I have all my service records that clearly show serious problems starting with electrical problems and then the throttle falling apart and sticking and then the starter relay sticking and causing my Powermax ATV to over heat and catch fire and burn. It even caused a forest fire.

Just letting you know what to expect from Powermax Warranty also.

Powermax Atv’s are cheap knockoffs made in China and made with very low quality parts and have very little power. Mine would get easily stuck even in four wheel drive.

Polaris Touring Stock Wheels & Tires (Set or Singles)

I am selling my stock wheels and Carlisle tires off of my 2013 Polaris Touring ATV. The tires have 469 easy miles on them. This are factory wheels with 26x8x14 & 26x10x14 tires.

I will sell as a set of four or pairs or singles. I am looking to keep a front wheel and tire for a spare for myself, but if I can’t sell the other three, then I will sell as a complete set and try and pick up a spare another way.

I am asking $275.00 for the set of four or best offer. I will sell singles for $80.00 each.

I am looking to sell to the local area only at this time and can meet series buyers in the Denver or Colorado Springs area. I live west of Denver close to Conifer.

My home business number is: three zero three 8 three 8 – three 4 three 4

Below is a photo of the wheels on my machine.

2003 Trail Boss starter solenoid caused issues

Hello,

Was out riding and everything was fine. Then I saw a big spark (it was night time) in the starter solenoid area. Quad went completely dead.

Since then, I have ensured that the battery is fully charged and clearly the solenoid is not sending electricity to the starter. I assume that I could start it by the rope if this was the only issue.

With the ignition turned on, there is occasional lights on the gear indicator but that is it. No lights or anything else, best I can tell. I haven’t had a chance to check fr spark yet.

I have ordered a solenoid.

My question is, will the solenoid going bad cause the conditions I am seeing? Does the bad solenoid also affect the two small wires feeding the wiring harness and if so will replacing the solenoid fix that issue as well?

I do not think there is an inline fuse on this thing. Not sure what else could have been impacted by the spark.

Any help would be appreciated.

Anyone have a factory 660 muffler they’d want to trade for an aftermarket one

Just bought this Rhino, the exhaust sounds really good but it’s just a little too loud for what I’m gonna use the Rhino for. I’m looking to trade for a factory muffler. I’m not actually sure what kind it is, I wanna say the guy said two brothers but I’m not sure. Here is a few pictures of the muffler. Let me know if you’re interested. I need to get one pretty quick.
