Changing tires and found the vacuum hose that go to the front brake drums broken. Replaced at each side and tied into the T connection can not find where to connect the tee up in the guts. Do I have to remove the front fenders to get to it and is it really important. ?

Hey guys I really would appreciate your input. This question is actually about a 2000 Traxter 500 but there are tons of people here that might be able to help. I bought this non running from someone who had no knowledge of the machine as they also acquired it from someone else non running. As I replace the parts just want to make sure they are not shorted out. I can tell wires have been moved around from factory thus my concern and cant seem to get help from anyone or find a wiring diagram.

I attached the picture of the current configuration of the wiring of the solenoid. The first big lug has two wires, the medium red wire runs to the fuse box. I assume this is where the fuse box gets power?? That same big lug has the big red wire from the battery. The other big lug has the big wire that goes straight to the starter.

Now the little spades are the confusion. The white/red wire is consistently hot coming to the little spade whether the ignition key is turned on or not. Just sitting there disconnected from the solenoid non running this wire is hot. When I connect this wire it is making the yellow wire on the other spade hot. If I disconnect the yellow wire form the spade it has no power so I know the power is coming from the solenoid to the yellow wire from the power supplied by the white wire as once I connect it becomes hot. According to what some have said where the yellow wire currently this should be a ground?? I am afraid if I run that to a ground something will short out as power is coming out of the spade. Also, the white/red wire shouldn’t that only get power when I hit the ignition button??? Please advise.

Thanks again!

Hello all,

I decided to retire from the game of GC site stalking and actually join now that I have picked up my 2016 Grizzly. This is officially the first ATV I have purchased for myself, and also cost more than any vehicle that I have ever purchased, including my currect truck :lala: Looking forward to lots of great discussion and helpful advice!

My 1998 polaris sportsman 500 will not start by just hitting the start button, it will turn over but not start, until I put jumper cables on it or a battery charger then it will start, just don’t shut it off because it may or may not start again. I have a fully charged battery and have checked about everything I can think of same problem. Any ideas?

I get that the ads on here are what keep the site up and running, but when you make the ad a pop up that blocks 75% of the screen and one that you also cannot exit out of…that I cannot stand. It is a bit crappy that I would have to exit out of the explorer all together and re open up the forums just to get that ad off.

On a separate note I have also now 2 times while on this website only had it try to install a web browser modifier that is basically a virus. It disguises itself as an Adobe Flash player .exe file that needs to be updated. Yes I am sure it is coming from this website because outside of this site and Amazon…this computer see’s no other websites that are not my companies sites.

Both of these problems are making it so that I visit less and less and will pretty much stop altogether if I have to worry about my computers safety just to come here.

Post your pics here to be considered for the new site face lift and new skin…. Here is what VS Goose is looking for….

a couple things.

– Lets try and keep this pics only
– No photoshop
– Natural Angles (No climbing or mudding, Must see the ride)
– No people visible (No riders and no models)

Let me see those shiny rides and we’ll get working on the face lift!

Thanks!

Two comments on the proposed site facelift

Please use some easy on the eyes colors, that red and white on GR is horrible.

I don’t see where you started a thread for the pictures you are asking for?

Just bought an 800 outlander and the following items that are marked in picture are not connected.
what are they and where do they plug into?
they hang from harness in the middle of the bike just in the front

Hey folks,

We’re working on a site face lift and new skin. This is where you come in.

We need pictures of rides for the banners and backgrounds. I was hoping you could all help me with that.

Post your rides here and we’ll try and include as many as we can.

However, a couple things.

– No photoshop
– Natural Angles (No climbing or mudding, Must see the ride)
– No people visible (No riders and no models)

Let me see those shiny rides and we’ll get working on the face lift!

Thanks!
