’85 TRX 250 Master… Can we rebuild it? Should we? lol

I am not even sure what the two front brake drums/panels? look like inside. Right now I only have back breaks and for what I do with it it is good enough. But if my front drums look OK once I finally check them out I am wondering if this master is rebuildable. It’s a touch pitted and scored inside but I believe it’s doable. Like I said it wont be getting any major use but it’s nice to have good brakes all around.

If stuff checks out I will rebuild.
Just wondering how uncruded you folks have made stuff.

OMI Steering Stem

Hey, just wanted to inform you guys that OMI does not have a stem mount yet developed for the power steering Grizzly’s.

OMI Products Yamaha and Honda Greaseable Steering Stem Mounts

I purchased a stem mount before they updated their website to reflect the fact they do not fit the 2015 EPS Grizzly. Well, I just received an email from OMI saying that would fully refund the cost and shipping of the product and don’t worry about sending the product back… Is this GREAT service or what? Wow, thank you OMI!

I sure hope they develop a stem mount for the newer power steering Grizzly’s as, I believe, that this is a good product, better than OEM. :getrdone:

Below is the OEM steering stem mount with 0 km’s on the Grizzly, you can obviously see the lack of grease, I will be adding a grease nipple while it’s apart…

Wheel bearing help 2012 450

I nee to replace all wheel bearings. I have searched and saw mentions of Kawasaki bearings being the same for much better price, but I had no luck finding exact part numbers or links for my model.
Any recommendations on best option, be it OEM/Kawasaki or aftermarket, would be great!

Fox Racing Podium Shocks Upgraded on a Gen 2 Can-Am

So I put this together for anyone who upgraded their factory shocks on the Can-Am Gen 2 650 XMR, 2015 800 XMR and for Renegade/Outlander owners who have these shocks. These are the BRP Catalog Fox Racing Podium shocks you can buy at the dealer.

The issue I ran into is that after a year the shocks started to sag and I was faced with putting spring spacers on them, this was till someone mentioned in a facebook forum about swapping springs. So I swapped the original XMR springs on to the Fox Podium springs.

Fox Podium springs = Can-Am Gen 2 Renegade XXC Springs
Factory 800 XMR Springs = Can-Am Gen 2 650/800 XMR Springs

Result is my sag is gone now, I’m back to 13.5" of ground clearance in front and I now have 14.25" of ground clearance in rear. I will say the ride is back to being XMR like but I need to give it some time to settle in as well.

This is a great upgrade for those wanting to gain ground clearance but not give up travel and do it with Factory parts. Yes a set of Elka’s tailored to my machine, weight, riding style would be the correct way to solve the problem, but this was a free option for me and I hope it might help others.

New shocks

Finally got the atv out today. Rode about 10 miles of trail, about half way through started bumping real hard. Got back to the truck and the front shock is shot, leaking majorly. So I’m looking to just replace the 2 front ones as the rear seems to be just fine. Anyone have any suggestions? I’m currently looking at FS-04300.
Atv is a 94 sportsman 400
Thanks in advance

Service manuals

I’m looking for an 09 scrambler 500 service manual. I found one for 1997-2000 model, but none for later manuals. Anybody know if these guides will go along with an 09 scrambler? Or know where I can find one?
