Ive been running my Terra 45 for a couple years on my grizzly and now it will not go into freespool, the knob will not budge. It has been through water, mud, sand, grass, so that is most likely why it is stuck. How do I go about getting it apart and fixing it, any help is appreciated.

Oil Change problem on ’04 Sportsman
I decided to change my own oil on my ’04 Sportsman 500 HO, thought it would be a nice afternoon project (mistake #1). My first problem was I couldn’t get the hose clamp off the screen fitting on the bottom of the tank, so I couldn’t get the screen fitting off to clean. Mistake #2, I took the hose clamp off the oil feed line into the oil pump. So now, according to the owner’s manual, I need to prime the system by clamping off the vent line on top of the oil tank. My million dollar question … how to I clamp that line, and how to I get to it? Do I really have to take off the front storage rack and the hood panel? An oil change shouldn’t be this difficult!
fixed my masters without buying parts.
I thought I would try to fix my master cylinders before I buy new.
I pulled the first one off handlebars took the lever off, Pulled the seal without damaging it. Tried to pull piston out with no luck so I drilled a hole into it’ s face then screwed a self taping screw into it. When it bottomed out the piston spun and then released. I pulled the piston out, took the middle seal off. There was a ton of rust on the piston and the bore. I cleaned the piston and used some fine sandpaper. I used a 12 ga shotgun brass brush with mothers mag wheel polish and a bore mop on a drill to clean the bore. Then carefully reassembled it using brake fluid for lube. Maybe I got lucky with no leaks.
I hope this helps someone.

Anti Freeze Smell
Just wondering if anyone else has this issue. Ran the quad all fall time without any anti freeze smell. Was in the heated garage took it out for a short ride today -25 Celsius came back put it back in the heated garage and could smell a slight anti freeze smell. Couldn’t see any leaks. Any thoughts?

Can Am Convert!
My name is Brandon and I’m from central NC. I’ve ridden Honda four wheelers my whole life. After 4 years of almost weekly trips to the Hatfield and McCoy trails I decided to upgrade. A 400ex is nice but this Outlander is over the top. It’s a 17 triple black XMR 1000. I picked it up this past Wednesday, Friday I installed RJWC dual exhaust, shifter, gas cap, air box lid and bumper corners. I also installed a QSC clutch, twin air filter and a back seat. I’ve ordered a tiger tail and mount, warn epic hook, synthetic rope, light bar, and Wetsounds Stealth 6 sound bar so hopefully I’m about done spending money on it. The mattress fund has taken a serious hit but I think it’s going to be worth it! Thanks for having me!

Engine stalls while plowing
I know there are other posts on this sight about 570s stalling for no apparent reason, in fact my wifes 2015 has that issue. My 2016 has never had this problem…until now that it’s winter and use it for plowing. It starts and runs fine for the first 5 minutes or so but then suddenly quits – everytime just after I come to a stop and put in reverse. When I try to restart it won’t even turn over, acting like the battery is dead. I’ll try again in a few seconds and it’ll restart with no problem. It’s only ever done it once in each of 3 plowing session. Any ideas?
