Once again we took advantage of the new snow and made way to Leslie Creek in the mountains behind our houses in NE Washington to ride. The ride averaged 3+ feet deep and the snow has no real base so its a dig dig at full throttle the whole way. We both have 30" Mudder Inlaws with 2" Highlifter kits. Lots of people always ask why we don’t just get track and call it a day. Honestly, I like the challenge of wondering just how far we can make it and enjoy being out of the house. I’ll save the tracks for when I get a new SXS and want to cruise in comfort. My buddy had a bum axle before we left and after we cleared the Kelly Hump, his tire hit a bolder and popped the axle which cut the ride short. I took a fallen tree top through my front left fender, just missed my leg, broke my side plastics and grazed down the side of my motor. Luckily, it did no damage to the motor, and I’ll be replacing some not so cheap plastics. It’s all part of the game, got to pay to play, and we ride the hell out of our machines so they are 2500+ hard miles. On the flip side, we never got stuck and had to winch out at all that day so that was a plus lol. As for the video, I apologize in advance. I shimmed the camera mount up before I left and it still is shooting a bit too low and not far enough ahead. Also, though the camera editing program is decent, I can’t find a way to make transitions between the clips I put in there, so it jumps around a bit. It’s shot in 1080p/60fps so you can turn down the quality if need be. I’ll get it dialed in soon.

Hello, I just replaced carrier bearings on my 2003 and now I can’t get the (new) axle nut over the axle far enough to install the clip. I had difficulty getting the old one off but didn’t think much of it. So I decided to get a whole new nut, locking nut, and sleeve since the old one was rough.
The sleeve and locking nut slide over no problem but the large nut just won’t go.
Do I have a bent axle? There was no wobbling or shaking prior to disassembly and I can’t see any damage??
on rear of 03 Sportsman 600 I’m getting inside tire wear on both sides, tires are perfectly match as far as wear goes…tires are GBC dirt Devils 25×10 x12 I was wondering if there is anything that can be adjusted to fix the problem.. camber is straight up and down any info would be appreciated Thanks
Hi There
From Eastern Ontario Canada. I own a 1998 Big Bear 350 4X4 which I use primarily for ice fishing.
I had a 2007 Kingquad several years ago which I should never have sold.
I stumbled across this site yesterday while looking for some information to an issue I was having .. which I think I resolved but time will tell. In the meantime, I figured I would sign up, look around and contribute when I can.
Cheers

I have this gun boot with mounting bracket retail price is around $160. and I’m selling it for $80. It has never been used and interior sock has never been attached to the outer plastic boot (the two sided tape still has the backing on it).
It’s for the 2006-2010 sportsman. I had a 2006 but, I updated to a 2014 Sportsman XP850 and it doesn’t work for my quad.
I noticed my TRX350 FM6 doesn’t have any drive to the front wheels. The propshaft/driveshaft turns when driving all the time, but it doesn’t drive anything up front.
Would it be the splines in the cup joint just in front of the front diff that have worn/sheared, or could something else more sinister be afoot?
