Hey all, Mike here. I live just north of Pittsburgh PA. I have a 07 grizzly 450. Got a few other toys too. Sportsman 570, yamaha vmax, klx 110 for my son.
I’ve had bikes all my life but just recently jumped over to ATV’s. Getting ready for a 5 day trip to HMT (ashland) and wouldn’t you know it, the Grizz is acting up. Only got a couple days to get it fixed or else it’s staying in the garage. This seems like a pretty active site so I’m hoping you guys can help me out.
Hey guys so have a 2014 outlander 650 xt. It feels like my power steering is not as strong as it used to be. Even when it’s on max still habe to give it pretty good. No codes are showing. Any help would be great thanks
Hello to all
I am from Michigan and ride a 2003 Outlander with a lot of custom stuff on it.
I have done Rock and Ice climbing, caving, white water and tour Kayaking, bike touring, Backpacking and more. I Love the outdoors. So I work hard to play hard. I have found that these sports are no longer in my realm of safe play. My MD has advanced to the point the ATV is my new best friend.
Have plains for a road trip ( 4 to 6 weeks ) back to Alaska this next Year. This year will be a trip to the Bad Lands as well as a trip across the upper peninsula of Michigan.
Would love to hear if you have been there done that and got the shirt and mug.
Thanks for reading
Hope to chat with you in the Forum
Hello guys! Just got back from a trip down to Hatfield and McCoy in W.V. and while down there I think I lost my One-way bearing. When going down hill the machine free wheels, unless I blip the throttle. I also hear a grinding noise on deceleration, even in neutral. Is the grinding noise associated with the one-way or another bearing? Also the machine just turned 8000 miles, should I be replacing the wet-clutch while I’m doing the bearing replacement? How do you know if the wet clutch needs replacing? Thanks for the help in advance!!!!!
Anyone had this issue? Today when riding I noticed that when I get to around 40 MPH my four wheel drive indicator on the dash comes on for a second and then goes back off. Some times it will go on and off a couple of times. I don’t hear or feel anything unusual when the indicator goes on and off but it is a little disturbing to think it may be going in and out of four wheel drive at a 40 mph roll. 2013 XMR 1000, bone stock.
My 14 year old daughter came running in the other night because the 4 wheeler wouldn’t turn off.
So…
I found an old post relating to this problem.
Symptoms ; Turned bike off and it tried to keep starting then turn key on and it would start but starter motor would continue to run.
Had to disconnect the battery to get it to stop.
The suggestion was to replace the starter solenoid so did that and no joy.
Question regarding a 2000 400EX. Long story short, the quad had a running condition where it would stall when applying the throttle. We found a problem with a connection causing a weak spark condition. We fixed this, but in the process, rebuilt the carburetor thinking that it was the problem. Now when trying to start the machine, it will start with the choke, but only run for a few seconds while manipulating the throttle to try and keep it running. I had turned the idle mixture screw out 3 1/4 turns as this is what is was set to before the rebuild. Could this be the problem, or is there another adjustment that needs to be made? Also, is there a fuel filter inside the tank on the petcock. There is no inline filter on the machine.
I know this has beat to death with no real solution, but what about replacing the winch fairlead mounting bolts with heavy eye bolts? You could hang D Ring Shackles or Quick Links from the eye bolts to use as tow point for double line pulls.
just got a 2016 sportsman 450 a couple months ago it hasstarted having an issue of after about 15 minutes of light driving the fan will cut on repeatedly and soon everything shits down and i have to restart it did it today and i restarted it and it immediately did the same thing after i let it sit for a few minutes it staryed and ran long enough for me to park it in the shed! seems like a cooling issue gonna call the dealer tomorrow, wondering if anyone has any ideas as to what the issue could be??
Hey everyone it’s been a while since I posted anything. I have a 03 Foreman 450es with selectable 4×4 was mudding the other weekend and noticed my 4×4 light flashing not realizing it was giving me a code. Kept riding and now when in 4wheel drive it will not go forward or back. But when in 2 wheel drive works fine. Any thoughts?
