Starting issues

I have a 2010 850xp. I’ve charged the battery all the way up and it still won’t start. Makes the clicking sound like the battery is dead. If I turn the headlights on everything goes dim. Wondering if it could be a ground problem if so I was wondering where the main ground is located. Thank you

Primary sheave and cam wear specs

I took apart my primary sliding/fixed sheave and found some issues. I read the service manual and it does not give any specific detail about checking the belt area or cam for wear. Take into consideration I have been researching this for like a week and can not find any definitive answers as well this is my first quad.

1-The surface the belt rides on has a 1mm gap which is even all across if I put a straight edge on it. Is the enough wear to warrant replacing?

2- The cam has shiny spots and what feels to be a small amount of wear at the end of the ramp. Is this enough wear to warrant replacing?

3- The plastic cover over the weights is a little loose. Worn?

Thank you for any response

Outlander 1000r XMR Stator

I looked around online could not find much information on the charging system spec’s on the XMR 1000 .
I’m looking to add some accessories and don’t want to over load , I would think they would have a high output stator since the machines have a factory winch .
Thanks

95 TRX300 Rear Shock replacement?

Hey guys, I just got a 95 TRX300 2WD and spent the last week working on it getting it ready to ride. Last night I got on with my wife and the rear fender almost touches the rear wheels. Now I’m a big boy (6’3" 270lbs) and my wife isn’t tiny either so I pulled the shock and noticed there is no adjustment for ride height, preload, etc. so I looked online and found there is a progressive type shock I can get that adjusts http://www.ebay.com/itm/1993-2000-Ho…VVjEPx&vxp=mtr

So my question is will this shock provide the desired adjustment for ride height to keep us off the back wheels? Or should I look at a more expensive 512 series shock?

Thank you!

Hey guys, I recently purchased a 1995 Honda TRX300 Fourtrax 2WD. As everyone has stated, the engine is bulletproof. I’ve spent the last week or so getting it ready to ride. Happy to be here and a part of your great community!
