Strong smell of gear oil after first service
I have a 2016 Outlander Max Limited that I just got back from the dealership after its first service.
After several rides I notice a very strong smell of gear oil when I accelerate. They changed the gearbox oil but it seems to be coming from the CVT vent near the pod. No oil on garage floor.
Any ideas. Dealer is 1 hour away.

no power to ign switch
I have a 2006 500 sportsman and there is no power to the ign switch. The guy I bought it from said that he put a new battery in it and accidently shorted it when he was tightening up the pos post. I thought there may be a fuse but cannot find it. The power wires going into the ecm have power but nothing coming out. Any ideas thanks
2005 Sportsman 500 HO Sputtering at 3500 rpm?
I have a 2005 Sportsman 500 HO that has begun sputtering at around 3500 rpm only. It sputters like a rev limiter at 3500 Accelerating or decellerating. I have a spare parts bike and have swapped both modules rebuilt the carb, changed the plug and run 10 gallons of fresh gas through it. Any ideas what might cause a mid rpm miss?
2014 Sportsman 570 starter grinding?
Well went to start my 570 today. And now I have a grind that occasionally happens. Has anyone else had this problem? Ive been looking at tearing the stator cover off and inspecting to see if it broke a tooth off of one of the gears in the starting system. Thanks
1988 Trail Boss shifter question
I’ve been having issues with my new to me ’88 250 4×4 popping out of high forward gear. I pulled out the gear box expecting the shift fork to be bent, but it looks fine as does the rest of the gear box. The only issue I found is some noisy bearings that I’ll replace.
Since the problem doesn’t appear to be in the gear box, the shifter and linkage adjustment are all that’s left. I noticed there are notches on the plate where the gear labels are. I’m wondering if the shift lever is supposed to have tension pushing it into the notch to help hold it in gear. I bought the machine last year, so I don’t know if it’s been altered over the years…
