2011 Trailblazer 330 Rear axle housing bearings

I’m replacing the rear housing bearings on my sons machine. I got all the parts and when I put in the new bearing cups, bearings and seal in the new housing there is room between the bearing and seal. Should this be like this or should I have only gone part way with the new cups so the cup, bearing and seal are all snug? I would think you should drive the cup all the way to the lip inside the housing but this room has me wondering. Any advice would be great!

Stator wires

Hi, New to this forum but need some help. I have a 2008 Sportsman 500 HO with carburetor. I just replaced the stator but the new stator has one different connection. The connector with the three yellow wires coming from the stator is different from the old stator. I can splice the new three yellow wires into the old connector and use it to plug into the existing plug on the machine, but not sure which yellow wires to connect. I assume the middle would go to middle, but the two sides are the issue. Anyone know if it matters or how to figure it out? Thanks.

Polaris Sportsman 570 Touring eps intermittent Starting issue

I bought this a couple weeks ago and have barely ridden it. I went out the other day to fire it up and it wouldnt turn over. yes the off/run/off switch was in the run position. Almost seemed like the battery was low or the starter sol was stuck. I got it to start when i turned the key quick like three times, then it fired. I gave it a couple days to see if it was going to happen again and yesterday it somewhat did. i called the dealer this am and told him of the issue. he acted like it was no problem and to bring it in so they could re flash the quad. Stinks cuz the quad is already brand new and there are already issues nd not too mention there is only a 6mth warranty on it. they offer the extended warranty on it but was unsure if it is worth the money. but if i have issues like this all the time i dont want to have to pay for the repairs.

ES Problem 2001 350

I have an issue with shifting that was caused by an accident. My son ran into a barb wire fence and a strand of wire unfortunately went between the instrument pod and the top plastic. Broke the covering over the wire harness coming from the handle bar switch and frayed some of the wires (didn’t cut completely through them). Anyway have been trying to solve issue with shifting since the accident. Have replaced the switch and harness, angle sensor, and checked voltage and resistance in places. Everything on the switch works except the shifting, hoping not the ECU but it is looking that way. Any suggestions or shared knowledge would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

New Forum Category “The Mud Pit”

I was browsing around on the Can Am forum and saw they had a category dedicated soley to people who go "mudding" this is very big in the south but I I see mostly trail riding, dunes rocks etc on here. It would be nice to see something dedicated to mud tires, mud clutches etc etc. Just a thought!
