It seems so many people buy an exhaust, fuel optimizer and filter before buying a full clutch set up. A clutch would be a few hundred more but wouldn’t the power gains be 10 fold over the exhaust?
The low end torque gains would feel like alot more hp was added when it really wasn’t is what I mean.
Or is there a good reason to get an exhaust set up over a clutch first?
I have a question—I have a friend who has a G1 who had a stock throttle body and had the ECU flashed and also installed a controller. The combination of the two was dumping too much fuel, way too much fuel. You could smell it. He upgraded the TB to a larger one and the fuel consumption problem went away. It’s getting comparative mpg to my machine now. At one point he was using 40 % more fuel than I was. How did the TB alter this problem? Any insights would be appreciated.

My brother’s 2005 Sportsman 500 needs a new transmission. Gears are broke, sidecase and brg. are damaged etc. Appears to be just worn to a extreme point then broke. So we are looking for parts or a good used one to put back in.
My bushings have finally worn out. I have them in hand.
any tricks to doing this replacement??
Is it as easy as jacking it up and pulling the bolt, changing out the bushings and replacing the bolt???
Any help is appreciated so as not to turn this into a huge project if it does not need to be.
Thank you.
I have a set of STI Rocktane HD’s on my 2014 base model 570. Nice tired, but it is 8-ply and they are heavy. I got them for free from STI because the Black Diamonds that I had would not hold air…
Anyway, even with the QSC clutch, you can tell that these tires weigh a ton. They are a LOT heavier than stock, I would say almost 50% heavier. So I was looking to pick up a set of the ITP Mudlite XL’s that my friend with the same quad loves…
I have ITP steel wheels with a 2" offset per side for a 4" wider stance.
My question is, can I put 25x10x12 tires on front and back? Are there any drawbacks to having the same size tire all around?
I was looking for some slip on exhausts on the other day and I heard that the HMF swamp series had some good ratings. I’m looking to do some plowing this winter and I don’t want to sound like a supersonic jet plowing the snow at a retirement home. Which means NO BIG GUN. Any suggestions?
My fan seems to constantly run on my 2015. I has developed a fever a few times. The 2nd time it happened I brought it into a stealership and they ran it for an hr and nothing happened. They recommened engine ice. In the parking lot the tech whispered "i’d do a clutch and change the exhaust". I use machine to hunt and run a lot of state trails and some restrict exhaust mods, besides it should be good out of the box, no mods necessary. Last night grizz got a fever less than a mile from home. I let her cool down, then headed straight for the garage and ripped her down to find my radiator return line off at the water pump. I didn’t catch up on anything to pull it off. I put it back on filled and burped the system. This is my 3rd grizz & none of my previous grizz’s did this. Any suggestions ??? Machine has 700 miles on it :cussing::gcrules:
