Right front drive

Maybe not exactly the right forum but, how does the front drive unit activate, I mean mechanically? new owner, when the bike is up on the stand in 2wd, the left front spins freely (well, bent disc so it hangs up a little) but the right front catches and pulls, no clunking so no bad CV joint I think, but I can really feel the ring and pinion teeth going by each other.

My question is, does the right front axle stay engaged to the diff all the time? Or is something wrong with the actuator so mine does? It’s a lot more resistance to turn the right by hand than it is the left, and the bike always pulls a little to the right.
I had a 86 dodge 150 that had rf axle always engaged and the lf was 2 piece with a vacuum actuator that slid a sleeve over the splines to lock the 2, is the reason I’m wondering. Oh yeah, 09 550 eps

Winter usage

I’m a surveyor and my quad is one of the primary ways I get around in the bush. I just came back from Fort McMurray (Alberta) on my last shift and we ran into some -46c temperatures. Needless to say starting my quad was challenging if not damn near impossible on some days.

What can I do to winterize my quad so I can use it in extreme temperatures? It is a Honda 420 2013. I was thinking a battery blanket that I can plug in. Maybe a gel cell battery vs the stock one?

Lost my low beam

Hi!ì
2012 700 grizzly eps.. A strange thing just happend.. after a ride yesterday,everything working fine, put my grizz in the garage. Two hour later i wanted another ride,got on the bike ,started,and no light!! No low beam! Just high beam. Nocked the glass,wiggled aroung on everything. Nothing happend..
Have been looking around now for loose cables,nocking on relees,but cant get them work.
The tail light work. The bulbs work…
Anyone knows what relee that steer the front lights? It only clicks in a "position light" relee when turning the switch.

Any ideas?
Need it to work, its winter up here and its dark at 4 …
