Sportsman 300 brake issue

Bought my son a 2008 Sportsman 300 and it had a very faint back brake pedal. Thought maybe the pads were worn so I replaced them but still no difference. Got a new rear master cylinder, swapped it out, and now I have problems with front and rear brakes.

The front brake lever pulls in with no resistance unless the rear brake lever is depressed. I tried bleeding the front brakes and still no good. The rear brake doesn’t even build enough pressure to bleed the rear system.

Any ideas???? I’m at a loss here.

Thanks

A-arm removal

Hey y’all. So i need to change out bushings on front lower a-arm. The bolt at front is in such a stupid spot. I’ll need to take off my skid plate, winch and mount just to remove bolt.
Im assuming there is no other way. Frustrated.

Moded Air Box Lid

Not sure if this is the appropriate place to post this mod, so please move if you see fit…:peace:

First of all I read allot on the Grizzly’s lack of air creating a lean mechanical operation. So I went ahead and gave it some thought and well, this is what I came up with.

First of all I am a boat person so I know that these Clam Shell Vents would be idea for this mod. I bought two and cut them down to size so they would not interfere with the placement of the top cover.

I then lined everything up and place it where I wanted them.

I then cut out the amount of material so it would allow significant air but not enough to allow water to enter if it were to drip from the top down.

After I cut out the material I cleaned everything up with a fine file and mounted the clam shell again to ensure proper placement.

If you so desire you can place a screen over the cutouts to catch the bigger stuff rather than let it go to the filter or just leave open.

I have a bit more cleaning up to do on the edges and a small bead of black silicone to finish up the install

Please let me know you thought, opinions…

Thanks for viewing!:happy:

Winch help.

I have an ’15 800 outty max.

The stock winch ‘warn provantage 3000’ is dead. It failed on me when I was stuck somewhere.

The solenoid clicks. I get 12V at the posts. I tried jumping it directly to a battery……nothing. I took it apart to see if there was anything noticeable wrong, again, nothing. I even tried sprinkling it with very expensive XPS magical pixie dust and that didn’t work.

So,
a) is there something else I could try?
b) what is a good replacement winch? I don’t want a warn as there’s did fail after very few uses ($275 CAD + shipping for a replacement). I was looking at perhaps a viper….. Thoughts?

TIA!

New Grizzly Alignment

The tie rods and the adjusting sleeves on my new Grizzly are marked with black ink across them–obviously to show their position to each other. Was this done at the factory or something the dealer did (assuming they may have had to adjust the alignment)?
