This is my first thread in this forum. I am new to ATV but I have done a lot of small engine fixes on mowers etc.
I purchased a used 2002 Polaris Sportsman 700 Twin. It was getting coolant in the oil so I have changed the water pump and oil seal. (I hope I have done it correctly).
I have also changed the intake boot at the carb as it had cracks in it.
After cleaning the carb and putting everything back together, I can get the ATV to start but it does not run correctly.
It revs to a high rpm and then will drop to a low rpm, idles fine for few seconds and then revs back up to high rpm on its own. Keep repeating this.
I have not found any one else having this issue so wanted to see if any one here can help me to solve the problem.
I have a 2013 Yamaha Grizzly 700 and I am looking to upgrade to the Elka suspension stage 1’s. My rides consist of very rocky terrain in upstate NY and PA and the ride is very stiff with stock suspension especially after 30 + miles. If anyone could chime in on the ride comfort or anything else I will be interested to hear. And if it is actually worth me saving up for it. FYI I don’t tow or pull any weight with it strictly just a woods ATV. Thanks!
What do two of the world’s top MMA fighters do after a big fight to blow off steam?
They head to Ontario to ride a dirt bike, of course. And tour around on a WaveRunner. And slam a quad through a mud bog. And, well, read on to find out how Miesha Tate and Bryan Caraway–two of the sport’s top UFC athletes–spent their vacation in the Great White North.

Hey guys, I was wondering if I can get some opinions. I have a 2014 800XT, currently mounted on it are Kenda Bar Claw HTR’s size 26x9x14 and 26x11x14. I love them, but the knobs pack with so much muddy/dirt in those indentations from the field, and it makes a massive mess every time I come up the driveway. The old lady isn’t too happy with it haha. My old Brute had some big horn knock offs the first guy put on, and they didn’t do it on the driveway. So I am looking into the same size for the outty. What do you guys like and why? I would also consider the 2.0 for the right price. Its down to those three tires. Are the Roctanes a knock off that STI did, or are they something totally different.
Looking at replacing left handle bar switch assembly on 2000 sportsman 500. Are there any years/model that are interchangeable? Any online recccomendations? Really don’t want to spend 159.00. Thanks
Hi JJ here. I live in Kemptville, ON and just sold by ’05 Kawi Brute Force 650 SRA carb’d and bought…..<Drum roll please>
2016 Outlander XMR 1R (1000).
So far loving it! Haven’t plowed with it yet, but it pulled a 600Lb piece of dock out like nothing!
However I was experiencing some back firing on decel and checked oil. Seems that can-am had 200ml too much oil in there! The oil level was up on the threads w/o even seating the dipstick! Boooooo! I drove a few hours on it before that and was under the impression that EVERYTHING should be mint! Not too happy…. but…. !
I checked the air filter, as the Brute would spit some up to the airbox. However, the filter was clean and dry…. so maybe not too bad.
Looking forward to talking bikes, modds and riding with you fellow owners and riders.
