Biggest tyre size for 98 300 fourtrax

As above guys really..

I have a 2" lift all round, 350D rear end running 10" fourtrax rear wheels and 350D rear wheels on the front end to give an equal (ish) width.

So.. What are the biggest (tallest) tyres I can run without a major loss of power?
I was thinking stick with 25’s until I source the parts to reduce the gearing?

All suggestions and thoughts appreciated

EDIT: it’s a 4×4!

12 sportsman on 27’s–need quick advice/–help

Hey guys. First off I apologize for needing this answered so soon. I thought I had some time before I needed new tires but now I have a trip planned in 9 days and I need new tires super soon.

Anyway, I have a 12 sportsman 800 with stock steel rim and now it has the stock tires 25-8-12 and 25-11-12. I have decided on maxxis mud bug tires but I want to move to 27’s. front 27-8-12 and rear 27-12-12. Will these fit my quad? I stayed with an 8" up front so I didn’t rub on the tie rods but on member on this forum said that when the mud bugs are inflated they will still rub? Is this the case?

I was under the understanding that an 8" should fit?

Also will the 12 wide fit the rear?

My issue is I have to order these on line, wait for them to be shipped, and then install them all while still working before my trip. I want to be sure they will fit

I appreciate all your help guys

Thx and happy riding!!

2007 Rincon Fouling Plug

I’ve got a 2007 Rincon, and praise God I haven’t had any trouble out of it until now. Maybe somebody here can help me out with it. Here’s a rundown.

It started running poorly. It cranks good, idles fine, but it won’t open up (top speed of 12 to 18 mph) and is seriously weak (won’t even climb hills).
I’ve replaced battery, spark plug, air filter(and ran it without the filter to see if there was an issue there but it ran the same with or without the air filter), and put on a new fuel filter. I cleaned the IACV and the spark arrestor. I tightened the battery terminals. I pumped out the gas tank and put in new gas and ran Chemtrol and Lucas through it. As far as I can tell, there are no codes on the display. Nothing flashes or blinks at me.

I don’t know if this is important or not, but I rolled it on its side. I don’t remember how long before the problems showed up the accident occurred, but it did run fine for a little while after the wreck. I was basically idling down a hill, hit a rut, and it laid over on the left side. There was no jarring or hard hits.

Anybody know what I should look at next? I’ve been asking around, but so far nothing has fixed this particular problem. I am not a mechanic and not really mechanically inclined either, but I can follow instructions like a good grunt. I’d like to avoid a trip to the Honda dealership if possible.

Thanks for any help anybody can offer.

Wheel offset

I don’t have my machine close by right now to measure, so hoping that someone has the wheel offsets for the 2012-up 12" XT style wheel? I’m about to order a set of No Limit Intimidators in 14×7 size and they only have the wheel in 3.5/3.5. I’ll be running OL2 tires in the 28" size and curious about how far they’ll stick out. I’m running 1.5" wheel spacers with the stock rims and LOVE the added stability and would like to retain that stance with the new wheels. My other choice is the STI HD beadlocks.

Thanks in advance for any help

Problem with my 14′ Sportsman 570

Hey guys! Before taking my bike to the dealer I wanted to get your opinions, so I have a 2014 Sportsman 570 EPS and it seems to always run dead on me some days, where other days it runs great! I changed batteries a lot and no good, I’m thinking it’s the stator but it charges at 14.8 volts when the motor runs? Any suggestions? Thanks!

Intermittent High idle RPM

I have a 2007 Grizz 350. I have an intermittent idle high RPM where the reverse light (red) will start blinking. I can sometimes get the RPMs to go down to normal by reving the throttle but usually I will have to shut the Grizz down and restart. I just found out that there was a safety bullitin fir the CDI replacement but I was just told that it has expired and I would have to pay for the replacement. Does anyone know if the CDI issue would cause this and have a copy of the safety bullitin. I have never seen it.
Thanks,
Dave
