What Parts Required for a Rebuild

I’m going to be replacing my crank, rods and doing a MrRpm BBK because of an engine knock after swamping. Can anyone provide a list of other items that will be needed besides the parts/gaskets that come from MrRpm? Things like shaft seals, intake gaskets, stuff like that so I know what to get on order.

2011 420 4Trax GPS Cape

Hello folks,
I have a 2011 Honda 4Trax 420 with a GPS Cape brand GPS display:confused:. This ATV can be both manual and automatic. We did an oil change on this machine today but can’t figure out how to reset the change oil indicator on the display since the display does not match or coincide with the display in the ATV’s manual. There is likely a separate manual for this display. Can anybody guide me on how to reset the change oil indicator or direct me to a manual for this baby?

Brush guards and skid plates

I recently bought a 2016 sportsman 570 and am looking at getting the ricochet brush guards and skid plates, my only question is will the 2015 model guards and plates fit on the 2016 model? I assume they will but want to know for sure before I spend that much money. Thanks in advance

U joints

I have a Polaris 500ho RSE 2002. I was looking for u joints and found that a spicer 5-170x u joint fits the center driveshaft and I would also guess all the u joints on the quad, bonus they are cheaper than napa , at least here.
Napa 338. $25 bucks plus tax but not in stock
Spicer 5-170x $16 dollars plus tax
available at most truck shops that install power take offs and such and they are greaseable

QSC Predator install

ALRIGHT!!!!! Got my QSC Predator back in December (just in time for Christmas) but didn’t get time to install until last weekend. Also got a Gates Carbon belt. Took out for a spin and it did have some extra power but it was not a “real eye opener” as I was led to expect.

Sooo… I pouted 🙁 for awhile then found a FB site that was dedicated to CanAm Clutching and Tuning. I posted on Wed. about my concerns and got replies right away from a few guys that were willing to help. Did a quick video of WOT in low and posted that as per my instructions. A GREAT guy stepped up to the plate and walked me thru everything I needed to do. Step by step instructions and exactly the weights he thought I should install according to my tires and riding style. Shawn Walker is the MAN for the QSC Predator. :th_smiliethumbsup::th_smiliethumbsup: He said he had one and did a LOT of tuning on his so knew it quite well. Spoke to him on the phone a couple of times when I had some problems and got everything worked out.

So by Friday afternoon (didn’t do anything Wed. or Thurs) I had everything done and went for another test run. Went and played in a gravel pit for 30 minutes and boy this sure had some MAJOR torque on the bottom and mid range. (I don’t care about top end speed). But no matter how hard I tried I couldn’t get a wheelie out of it. :th_smiliefrustrated ( one of my goals ) It had so much torque it just kept spinning all 4 of my 28” Mega Mayhems. Don’t forget I have the Max with the longer wheel base.

So left the gravel pit and headed across the hi-way. Hit the hi-way crossing (pavement) at about 6mph and pinned it. Still didn’t lift the tires off the pavement, but the front end sure did come up to the top of the shocks. Well just maybe if I tried a little harder. Turned around and waited on the pavement approach to the hi-way and waited for traffic. All clear…. Then pinned it…….. WOW the front end just popped right up and away I went. :yahoo::th_smiliethumbsup: I’m guessing it came up a good 2ft. but don’t know for sure. I’m a HAPPY CAMPER now.
Will be going out tomorrow with friends and camera/video and will get some action shots then. Will try to post something after that ride.

If anyone has anything let me know what you want.
I am on ebay and can paypal or you call me and we can work it out.
Whatever is easiest, I also have stuff to swap too

Stuff to swap- let me know and I can send pics and details
– 4×4 TRX300 stuff tanks, engine parts etc.. quite a lot- let me know
-nice 00 Quadmaster 500 top end was running great no smoke (bad trans)
-really nice rancher 350 crankshaft(been saving it) Also tranny(no shift drum)
-01-03 Foreman 400 internal engine parts covers etc (no top end or crank)
