My sportsman just developed a squeal…. I’m thinking it’s a water pump bearing….. attached is a video with the squeal.
This just developed after I noticed that the reservoir was empty and some steam was starting to come out the top of the cap. I quickly shut it off when I heard the squealing. I toped off the reservoir and the coolant got sucked into the cooling lines. Than I topped it off again and the sound has gone down a little but it’s still there. I’m gonna let it cool and let the cooling system suck in that reservoir again and top it off and see what happens.
Any suggestions on what to look at or check would be great!
Btw I have ordere A shop service manual a few days ago so still waiting on its arrival.
I have a 2015 Honda Rubicon 4X4, IRS,PS,Diff Lock, all the bells and whistles.
Since I’ve bought it, its always had issues starting. While it was under warranty the dealer said, it was set up wrong and didn’t have oil on filter. Dealer put oil on filter and problem, never really went away. Now its off warranty and dealer said, it could be vaulves… I checked and they did appear off a little and I fixed that. Its still starts real hard. I mean it will turn over for about 5-15 seconds till if fires up. Almost like its, not getting fuel.
Anyone know of any issues or got advice on possible repairs I could make. Don’t trust dealers, so I do all repairs at home.
Hey all,
I’ve searched and found conflicting answers, i’m hoping someone can confirm for me. I’m looking for some HD springs to put on the front of my wheeler because my plow really brings it down. All shocks are already adjust to the max. I have the SP so i do NOT have the front struts. Can anyone tell me if these will work, or link a spring that will if these will not please?
I have a 2016 Grizzly and love it, it’s the first Grizzly I’ve owned but I’m super happy with my purchase. A friend of mine has caught the bug to join the Grizzly family but has limited funds. He is looking at a 2011 350. It had 300 miles on it, anything he should know about the model or things to look for when he goes and looks at it? I’ve researched it some but thought getting the wisdom of GC would be prudent before he bought it.
Installed a 12" LED light bar on my Grizz yesterday so I can see when snow plowing this winter. WOW literally night and day difference! The pic does not do it justice.
Hey all… as you’ll see, this is my first post here. Been reading threads here for a while though.
I’ve decided to purchase a new Sportsman 570 in Camo (I’m a sucker for camo).
A couple of questions…
I have found a 2017 stock and a 2016 with EPS both in my price range. I am thinking at the time of purchase, I’m going to have them put on a set of Kenda Bearclaw HTR’s, and maybe a winch (depending on what kind of deal I can get). Just on the stock wheels was the plan.
I will be using the quad mostly for hunting, and wooded trail riding and some day for some light snow plowing.
I have previously owned/ridden motorcycles but I the atv world, a Honda 400ex and an older Arcticat 400.
Is there anything I need to be on the lookout for, or cautious of when buying? I know from riding older quads I don’t "need" power steering, but the thought of it is pretty nice.
Howdy, I’m a newbie. I think I may have posted my question in the wrong place so this is a repeat posting. I believe I have experienced an over-voltage on my 4-wheeler causing the instrument cluster to shut off to protect the electrical system. I have a fully charged battery. The ATP 330 initially started up, ran at idle a few minutes, then abruptly shut down and all power was lost to everything, including the instrument cluster. The owners manual states "If the instrument cluster fails to illuminate, a battery over-voltage may have occured and the instrument cluster may have shut off to protect the electrical system." My question is, how do I fix this problem? Is there a circuit that needs to be re-set? I’m not able to take it to the dealer so would like to fix it on my own. Can someone offer step by step instructions? Thank you.
I looked around a bit but found nothing….so here goes.
Was all set to plow some of that wonderful white stuff that was dumped here in Michigan yesterday, brand new plow, ready to rock.
The old 700 in low gear, in AWD mode is awesome….except….when I shifted into reverse…it wouldn’t stay engaged in 4×4 AWD mode. Not sure where to start on this one….but am looking for some self help, troubleshooting directions.
* All fluids are clear and full
* AWD works flawlessly in all forward gears
* AWD light comes right back on when going from REV to FWD H or L gear.
So I tried to save a few $ and went with custom splice synthetic winch rope. It’s been about 13months , it’s used heavily since all my fellow riders have non working or crappy winches. I’m currently running the Superwinch Terra 35 and I love it, no issues at all with the winch and it gets submerged often. So in using a snatchblock would double the pull power to 7000lbs, right ?? But the rope is rated at 5400 or 6500 lbs…. I put it to the test, the rope broke trying to move a huge tree. I’m glad I went with the synthetic because my young son was near by and when the line popped it scared me ! The line only traveled like 2 ft ! Impressive and safe ! I do have an aluminum hawse fairlead and with the heavy use the line is slightly faded and furry looking, not so much frayed though …I was able to remake the splice with the help of YouTube but now it’s ten feet shorter. I’ll be trying a different brand rope this time . Any good suggestions on an inexpensive brand ?? If I could get 2 years out of it I’ll be happy ! I was thinking about trying moto alliance brand …..
We have a big storm coming tonight and I’m going to try to get the Moose plow mount installed on the bottom of a 2015 Rubicon deluxe. Last year, I took off the full skid plate and used a "universal" Moose plow mount and found the holes didn’t line up well so I bought a new model-specific mount from the local Honda dealer and want to try and install it over the skid plate.
To be able to get at it better, I was going to try and use the winch to lift the front almost straight up to get at the bottom easier. I’m gonna brace it for safety, but wanted to make sure I’m not gonna cause any issues with oil, gas or other fluids when the bike is vertical for an hour.
