Hey everyone, new to the forum and to Polaris..but not new to atvs. I picked up an ’03 Trailblazer that has been mostly dismantled. The previous owner has the transmission out of it, and says that he pulled it out and had a shop put new bearing in it, but is missing a pulley off of it. The case is together, and both splines spin..just don’t spin together. I have not tried messing with the gear selector shaft on it to see if it’s in neutral yet or not.
Is there a way to tell if the trans is good without pulling the cases apart? I hesitate to pull it apart without a diagram, as I am still waiting on a manual to come in the mail for this atv.
The pulley I have found on ebay, but have not purchased yet. Also, does someone make a rebuild kit for these transmissions if it is messed up internally? I’d imagine the kit would be cheaper than finding another transmission for it.
A couple of months ago, I purchased a 60" Moose plow, push tubes, and mid body mount kit for my 2016 Honda Rubicon. I wasn’t going to post about my issues, but I feel I should based on the experience I have had.
I’m on my 3rd 60" straight blade from Moose in the last 2 months. None of which have ever been mounted to the push tubes or used at all. All of them have had significant paint flaws which I was not happy with and were returned to my dealer. The last plow I received didn’t have any flaws on the face of the blade, like the others did, but when I flipped it over to put a couple coats of wax on the back side I noticed a crack in the paint. At this point I am beyond frustrated, so I grabbed an 1.5" putty knife and LIGHTLY started to work at the loose paint. I couldn’t believe how easily it peeled off the blade!!! I got up to the sticker on the back side and pulled the sticker off and it peeled a large portion of the pain off with it!!!! I have contacted Moose and sent them pictures and their response was simply "have you dealer handle it". To say I am very disappointed with their customer service….or rather, lack there of would be an understatement.
Unfortunately, I have already modified my lower skid plate to accept the mid body mount from Moose. At this point I think I am going to contact my dealer and see if they will accept the items from Moose as a return and order me a KFI plow, push tube, and mount kit. I’ll also have to purchase a new lower skid plate as I had to do some minor modifications to it to use it in conjunction with the mid body mount from Moose and I’m just that picky that I’ll want a new one so it looks nice.
Oops, lets try again: I have a ’86 250 Fourtrax. The choke is sensitive. A 3/4 choke causes lots of smoke. If I give it full choke it won’t run for more then 20 seconds even when cold. And if I back off on the choke the idle is too low and it starves out. I can’t seem to be able to access the choke cable at the carb connection. Nor do I have any schematics of what it looks like inside. I removed the carb from the engine but it is held on still to throttle cable and choke cable. Does the choke access come by taking off the bowl on bottom of carb? I need to remove these some how to make an adjustment? And how would I do this? And what is the proper adjustment that would either increase idle by increasing choke or adjust choke so that it doesn’t choke out the engine as, is usually the case?
I spent an hour looking at old threads to no avail.
It does seem to run rich after warming up w/choke off, as you can smell it at the exhaust. Always been that way, but doesn’t seem to burn much oil, even though engine seems loose. Also the cam chain tensioner is loose. No adjustment left. Someone seemed to have welded it to build up metal. Won’t this scar the cam? If not, should I try to do that again to keep it from ticking at various idle revs.
Howdy guys, Just joined the forum after watching a couple youtube videos. Those guys said this place is a wealth of knowledge… and i hope so. I have a sportsman 700 giving me some issues. Running ruff, spitting and coughing, bogs down. Made sure the carb was good and clean, headed towards new plugs, air/fuel filters that sorta stuff now. Anything thing else i should be checking on it? Also have a problem with it boiling over. Im going to clean the rad this weekend and was going to buy a hi psi cap for it. 16psi vs oem 13psi, has anyone tried this?

I have a suzuki 700 quad trax. A friend of mine gave me a moose plow, but no way to mount it to the under carriage. Can anyone help me to find the correct mountind bracket. The pivot points are7ΒΌ" center to center and has a 1" and ?" hole on each side where it mount to the bottom. Thanks
I keep coming across cheap sets of RZR aluminum wheels.
These guys seem to be all over the place and they would seem to be a cheap upgrade over the oem steel wheels on my 2016 Sportsman 570.
Anybody else running these?
Any reason new aftermarket wheels would be a better option?
I’m going to be throwing on 26 Kenda Bearclaw HTR’s soon to. (1 inch spacers)
If I can buy a set of these wheels for a little over $100 seems worth it to me…
Looking to switch out the useless gas cap with one that has the built in gas gauge, browsing ebay not sure what will fit, one ad say yes will fit with pt number, another ad says no wont fit with same pt number? What pt number or gauge should I be looking for, need one quick.
Hey guys… I posted in another thread my terrible experience with my 2012 Grizzly 700 eps model with 1551 miles and the trans blew apart and cracked the case…
In need of a bottom end. any parts bikes around? lol
anyhow i know of a 550 that has not run in a long while. I could probably get for $1000 and have to splt it…
My question is are they the same? what is different in the 550?
Hey guys just picked this quad up for $500. It starts first pull, steering is solid, no clunks and just some broken plastics and a warped seat.
It will be for my daughter who has outgrown her Chinese 110.
Anyone have a good seat base they want to sell? And any way to tell for sure what year this bike is? Owner said either 2000-2002.
Thanks guys
