Rear brake problem on steep incline/decline

Over the weekend i found several times that my rear brakes would fade to nothing at all on steep incline /decline. The lever would go right to the bars but after a pump or 2 it would be back to normal but on any sort of flat ground they would work as they should. The master cylinder is full, havnt had an time to look further into it but i figured i would ask if anyone experienced the same problem.

2016 Sportsman 570 Stuck Oil Filter (first change)

Hey guys – I’m doing my first oil change and I am having a hell of a time removing the factory oil filter. I have a hard enough time getting more than just my finger tips on it even after removing the front wheel. If this was NOT the factory installed filter I’m sure I would have had it off by now but it is on there good!

Does anyone have any tips? Am I going to have to remove the skid plate to get to it?

Thanks in advance!

Hello All! It’s been a long time.

I was a member here back in 2007 when my Grizzly 660 was new. The bike has been super reliable and my constant companion for every whitetail deer season ever since. I have even come home from work to find my wife missing and a empty spot in the garage where the Grizzly normally sits.

Even though I have enjoyed and religiously maintained my Grizzly, the odometer was telling me that I wasn’t utilizing it enough.With only 595 miles and 125 hours, I sold my snow blower and ordered a Warn snow plow kit. These new quick front mounts are slick and there is no loss of ground clearance, which was a big sticking point for me before.

Setting up the snow plow has rekindled a new interest for me in the Grizzly and I have been logging a lot more seat time. Now not only will I be dragging deer out of the woods, but plowing my 300′ driveway and getting back into those long rides in the snow covered woods with my old friend.

Axle snap!

Picked up a 2013 outtie XMR 1000 Saturday and broke a rear axle the next day.No complaints about my first Can Am, I know I ride hard and with that much power things will break, no problem with that. I just want some better than stock axles and I do have a 2inch lift. What do you seasoned guys use for these beasts?

Gauge cluster not working

So last week I crank my bike (850 HL) up just to ride around because I haven’t ridden it much lately. When I turned the key I noticed the blue back lighting on the gauge didn’t come on but the rest of the gauge came on just fine. I didn’t worry about it too much. Well today I fire it up and it seems like the entire gauge pod is getting no power. Nothing lit up no numbers and the needle didn’t move. Anyone else have an issue like this or have any ideas?

Honda atc 200s issue

I have a 1984 honda atc 200s that i am working on. We have reset the timing and firing, its getting air spark and fuel but will not start with pull rope. It will run if pulled behind another bike but once detached from the other bike it will shut off when ever it slows down and eventually stops. There is lots of back fire coming from it also. Any help or ideas will be use full.
Thanks

2014 Rincon not starting after wash

Operated normal before washing, currently not turning over I somehow got to the point where the electronics turn on and sounds normal until I try to start it, charged the battery now it just makes a louder clicking noise. Jump started it with different quad it fired right up, it just won’t run on its own. Starting to think regulator or stator maybe, anyone got thoughts??

new to this site

newbie here. I own a 2015 Grizzly 700, and just installed a battery tender yesterday before the cold weather arrives. That’s how I found this site, google, when I was attempting to find others who have completed the same mod.
I also own a Yamaha Apex(2011), Yamaha vector(2016), and a Yamaha 25HP outboard(2011) and a 2015 Cobalt R5.

Weird shifting problems

Hey so I have a 2001 rancher 350 ES that isn’t shifting properly. The screen thinks it is in 4th gear but the motor itself is in neutral. I can manually shift to 4th and then the screen says neutral. I get no flashing to indicate a bad sensor or anything so does anybody know anything about this? Thank you
