I plan on getting 2" Wheel Spacers for my xxc soon. The main reason being cornering stability. I like my suspension set soft for rough terrain absorption and rear wheel traction…but it comes at the expense of increased body roll obviously. Had anyone done something similar? Will I notice much of a difference? I’m not really worried about wheel bearing stress.
I am looking to sell my showroom condition 850 sp . It had 230 miles on it all from easy trail miles . Has warranty till March of 2017 . I am asking 8400 obo . No trades , have title in hand . Can help with delivery in Wisconsin. Save big over new .
So I have a 99 400ex and a slight tick is turning to a loud ticking noise. I readjusted the valves and it still is ticking. But the timing chain did have a tiny bit of play, is that all it takes to make such a noise? And it sounds like it’s on that side. Thanks in advance.
I just bought a 2016 570 and love it so far. It currently has 13 hours on it. I took it for a road cruise this evening (about 7 miles, and going between 25-35 mph) and about 6 miles in I stop at a bridge to have a look at the water. When I stop, I feel the ATV shaking a little bit, and the exhaust note is slightly loude . Almost feels like I had an aftermarket exhaust o . I kill it, wait 5 minutes, then start it back up to it doing the same thing. I put it in N and start to rev it a little, but as soon as I do there’s a loud POP from the engine, and the noise/shake went awa . So I drive it home, and just as I pull into the yard and slow down, there’s a horrible growling noise/feeling coming from the ATV. Almost like something is getting hot or binding up. I loaded it on the truck, and it won’t be coming off until its at the deale . I always ride it easy (scouting crop fields), never had it in water deeper than 6", and no mud. It has stock sized Bear claws on it.
I’ve had my sportsman 850 for about 3 months now. I’ve maintained the atv as instructed by the manufacturer. I’m very displeased with this sportsman. I’ve owned a trailblazer and a sport 400 and i loved them. This sportsman however, has been nothing but a headache. Before i hit 100 miles, the drive belt was trash and the battery had already died. The other day as i was greasing up the suspension, i found that the lower a-arm bushings are wasted. I have about 120 miles on this brand new atv. Anybody else dealing with this crap? Before you criticize, I’ll just say that I’m an experienced rider and I’m not punk kid who tears everything up.
Question.. first I noticed my 570 has more pick up and go and seems faster than my 850????? is it cause maybe I have ridden It hard and I need a new belt????
also was wondering. the two drain plugs.. they should always be empty right?
I just replaced the cam chain in my 2000 400EX. After reassembling, the quad started right up and ran good. The only thing I noticed was oil burning off the exhaust (where it meets the cylinder). I thought it was just burning off oil that was spilled when I had the head cover off, but realized that oil was leaking internally (clutch side exhaust only). I took apart the head cover again and reassembled with a different gasket, but the problem continues. I can see that it is leaking oil internally, as there is smoke coming out the exhaust.
I did not remove the cylinder or take apart the valves when I replaced the cam chain. I also confirmed that my cam gear marks were in the correct locations. Compression test results are the same as before I replaced the chain (122 psi). The engine runs smooth, so I don’t think that the valve timing is off. Has anyone ever seen this before or do you have any ideas as to how I can further troubleshoot? Thanks!
