New Register from WAY Upstate NY

Hey guys! New to the forums. I have been lurking for a couple weeks as I have been researching a new ATV. Lots of great info, and some awesome reads on here.

Where I live we get a lot of snow, and there is LOTS of farm land, as well as being right at the food of the Adirondack Mountains. (Largest park preserve in the nation). So there is lot of room for riding around here.

I specifically joined this forum, because I have a lot of questions about Polaris ATV’s. One minute they sound great, then I’ll have someone or some youtube video telling me otherwise. But.. the numbers don’t like. Number 1 selling ATV of all time.

Looking forward to seeing you guys around, and talking ATV Shop! One of my favorite past times!!

Trailblazer rear brake swap

I recently purchased a 1997 Trailblazer and absolutely hate the rear brake set up. Can I swap out the swing arm, with the axle brake, off a newer TB? Or can the ’97 swingarm be modified to accept a caliper?
And has anybody installed a steering stabilizer on a TB250? Where can I find one?
Thanks

REAR AXLE ISSUES!!! PLZ HELP!

I have a 1995 Yamaha Big Bear 350 All time 4×4. Recently while riding, I lost my rear drive. I never heard any noise at all and when picked up, the rear spins smoothly with no noises out of ordinary. I’m trying to take apart rear differential but I’m having problems getting axle ring nuts off. This seems like a dumb question to be but what direction do they spin to come off? While standing behind it, do I turn them up, towards front of bike, or down, towards rear of bike? Please help, I need to figure out what may be needed to fix problem!!!

2004 Honda Foreman S cooling fan

I hope somebody can answer my question. I have a 2004 Foreman S in my shop. Original complaint: fan doesn’t come on and no temp light but seems to be getting really hot. I replaced the temp switch and the fan works but at the same time the light comes on. When the fan quites the light goes out. Customer says this has never operated this way before. I called the Honda dealer and they told me it is working fine. The customer insist it is not. That before the fan would come on and not the light. So I replaced the fan control unit, same thing: fan comes on so does the light, fan goes out so does the light. So is this the way it is supposed to operate?

86 fourtrax vacuum fuel pump

Hey guys,

I just bought a 1986 fourtrax 350(my wife took over the TRX 250 while I was deployed). It wouldn’t start and I’ve narrowed it down to the fuel pump. I called a local shop to get a replacement and he said he converts to to a vacuum pump. It seems like something I could do myself if I had some guidance. If anybody and has any examples with pics that’d be great!
Also, what happens to the cut out relay when it no longer has a pump to talk to?

Thank you for any info!
