First time can am owner just bought a used 2013 renegade 1000

Hello guys my name is Fernando I am from Miami Fl and just purchased a new to me 2013 renegade 1000 sst g2. First of all the power is insane compared to my old 03 Honda rincon 650. So I bought the bike with a damaged primary cutch and supposedly it had issues with the idle control. A buddy of mine loaned me his primary and a new belt and bike runs great. At first it would idle high after you would rev the engine a little bit in neutral but would idle normal when I first started the engine. after running it for a while it stopped doing it on its own. So… Going to be doing full service this week don’t know where to start aside from the obvious engine oil, diffs and gearcase oil. Saw some grease fittings in the suspension I will grease those also. What do you guys recommend I do and what oils should I use again any input would be greatly appreciate it bike has 42 hours now and about 140 miles.

Pulling Beach Harrow

Wondering what I am doing wrong.

Trying to loosen up the sand on our beach with a pull behind harrow. Nothing to big and my sportsman 500 efi pulls it fine. My problem is it keeps over heating on me.
I originally was pulling in Low around 3500- 4000 RPM and it over heated, I tried in high gear around the same 3500-4500 RPM thinking the speed would but more air across the rad but again it overheated.

Am I just trying to go too fast?

New 2016 defender hd10 cab picked up

as the title says I just picked it up. Comes pretty loaded but I added a couple things like the complete audio system led bar full front brush guard ram mount dash net interior light. I have a Polaris ranger 900 camo full cab so I’m excited to compare the two. Will keep everyone posted as I know there isn’t much information out there on these machines.

I’m 6’7" so I also did a seat mod to get some additional leg room.

Big Bear 350 rear oil leak

On my 1996 350 4×4 the rear main seal is leaking. I read that may just be the rear yoke bolt being loose. Hopefully that is it. I am wondering though does the oil from the seal area come from the engine oil or is there a separate oil supply for the transfer case? As I look at it it appears it would be the engine oil so I better take care of this soon so the engine oil doesn’t get low enough to seize.

New to Yamaha ATV

I just got a 96 Big Bear 350 4×4. I’ve had a Honda Fourtrax 300 4×4 for 5 years. The big bear seems pretty similar in function but a little different in component layout. I’ve also have a Yamaha XT225 dirt bike so I’m somewhat familiar with the 350s engine design.

The ATV start easily and doesn’t smoke. It rides well. The only issue it has is the rear main seal is leaking. I read that may just be the rear yoke bolt being loose. Hopefully that is it.
