gas tank and cap question 15 outty

yesterday for the first time ever i opened the gas cap on the trail i had about 1/4 tank and when i removed the cap i got a quick pssssss of air going in of course because the tank does cause a vaccum on a fuel injected atv. the dealer said this 100 percent normal and theres no blockage in the vent and when there is less fuel in that tank you will have air rush in because its a sealed unit does anyone elses unit does it not that i dont believe the 3 dealers i called lol

Outlander L ?’s

hey guys,
just purchased a new 2015 hold over 450L. Just getting it out of break in mode right now and love the machine BUT it has developed a rattle that sounds like its coming from the front end of the machine when under heavy throttle …. Anyone else experience this? Or know what it is? I’ve been feeling around for loose shrouds ECT. But still can’t find the issue…

First ATV

Greetings all, i am from South Central Pa and i just bought my first atv. I bought a used 2015 Polaris 325 with 40 miles on it from a private owner. It is in showroom condition and i was the 23rd person to look at it. I feel i got a great deal and i really like the machine.
i plan on using it just to get around on our farm, no heavy hauling or anything just a fun ride.

2007 renegade 800 front drive question

I was redoing my rear shaft and the bolt and washer that holds that shaft to the output shaft on the engine side is broken off inside. Im gonna drill and use an easy out for that. Everything going well there.

Because of that i took a look at the front shaft. I was able to just pull it right off by hand no tools. I discovered that the bolt that holds the front shaft to the engine is missing. Its not broken off inside, just entirely absent.

I bought my bike used a week ago so i ordered the bolt to fix the font too before the play causes damage to the front.

My question is this. I had the bike in 2×4 when i took it apart and didnt realise that i would be able to pull the front shaft off so easily. The service manual says to make sure the bike is in 4×4 when u remove the front shaft. That ship has sailed. How is this going to affect me when i reassemble? What precautions should i take?

2005 Scrambler question

I have a 2005 Scrambler 500 and the rear hub in the swing arm went out on me. I have a 1999 Scrambler 400 parts machine. I know from looking at the rear axle hubs they are different from years but can I install the rear hub assembly out of the 1999 400 parts machine into my 2005 ?
