I baught a 03 400ex a few months ago and its starting to smoke at high rpms and rattles at the top of motor i think its time to tear down and rebuild the top end. Does anyone have any suggestions on what brand kits or types of kits i should use or if i should go with more power and get a bore kit? Also would like to know brands and type of kit for the bores as well. Any tips would be much appreciated this is my first ever rebuild and resources are limited so keep that in mind i would like to do this myself in the upcoming fall or late winter so im in no rush just looking for research and answers for fastest potential out of bore kits if i go that route
Thanks.
Short time lurker here. Figured this is the place to be as a fairly new owner to an 88 trx300fw. It is my first adult atv. Not a show piece but a heck of a worker. I use it for my outdoor chores. Hauling wood, snow plow,moving trailers, and the occasional fun stuff. Previous owner said it is been to hell and back twice, with scars to prove it. Got it for 75 bucks, not too shabby. Has a couple issues though. Idle is sporadic, sometimes I have to jiggle the ignition wire for it to start, rear tires have a slow leak, front brake needs some tlc, small oil leak from top end gasket. But it still gets the job done. Just finished hauling all my wiid I’ll need for the season so she will be getting some downtime. I will addressing these issues and a couple other minor things. Thanks in advance for all those who have contributed all the very helpful info on here.
Hello, I just did a shim mod on my 2015 grizzly 700. Everything seemed to go ok but when I put the metal clutch shroud back on it was rubbing against my clutch. I put 1.5 mm worth of shims in. I used a ratchet strap to hold the clutch while I took the nut off, is it possible I over tightened and bent the shaft? Or something else? Does have a slight wobble. Should I get shroud machined or just let it wear itself a groove?
I am running a 2015 Outlander Max 1000 XTP. I am replacing OEM bushings with Garage Products bushings. I have read a few threads posted on the site regarding the front bolt removal on the lower A-Frame, and took a hard look at this last night. I was curious to know if there is any successful method to removing the lower front a-arm, front bolt without taking off (or loosening) the skid plate and/or loosening the winch mount. Does not look like there is enough room to remove the bolt without doing so. I am running Ricochet skids, although I like them a lot and are tough, I am pretty sure I will be using easy-outs to get the front skid plate bolts out due to use (abuse) on the exposed star bolts. I just didn’t want to turn a simple project into more complex, unless necessary.
I’m new here, hope I got the right section. My TRX 420 FE-2011 revs/bogs after it gets good and warmed up. Unclogged the fueltank vent tube. when it’s cool, it runs like a bat out of hell. Any tips?
Did a search and only years old info came up.
What are you guys using for an Android App for GPS … must be usable offline?
Been debating between Garmin 64 or using Samsung S5 and think I’d like to go the phone route. Done a lot of research but man, seem to just go around in circles, lol. All I really want right now is aerial view/topo maps for Ontario, Canada (Great Lakes) so I can see exactly where I am, track and waypoints.
You guys find anything that works well offline, good maps and don’t need to spend countless hours learning just to use as explained above?

Dropped the Maverick off yesterday with Bruce Cline, our local Can Am expert. Getting the new Gates clutch and a reflash from MRRPM on the XMR Maverick.
I can not wait to get it back.
He also has one of the biggest Outlanders I have ever seen. 1000 XMR on 36’s. Man its nice!
