Part out complete 02 and 03 660 grizz CHEAP

Here’s the short story, I have a 100 % complete 02 with top half of motor almost down with new bore all OEM parts including timing chain, guides. It’s all apart and frankly I don’t have time to finish, I, just recovering from 2nd back surgery on Monday the 17th. The other was a roller I bought from a dealer with BOS only for needed parts, thats the 03 with no motor, I have bodywork, diff,axles, wiring, radiator ,,etc.
I can pack and ship pretty easy and just need to move it. If I finish motor it will be 100%. I was a Yamaha dealer from 97-02 so I know these like the back of my hand, I use only OEM parts.

The easiest was is to either call me and I can’t look and take pic or text me .

I guarantee you more than fair prices.
Thanks

2013 Maverick – Issues with Transmission?

Hello gentleman:

I got this maverick off the Auction. Engine starts and idles ok, I’m able to put in transmission in gears: P, N, H, L. I can roll ATV around in the garage in N (neutral) gear. Put when in drive gear: H or L…. it takes to push RPA’s to 3500-4000 for it to move. Belt is brand new, Primary STM pulley looked good. Secondary STM pulley is brand new. I tested pulleys and belt in N gear… seams to work fine – drive belt is being grabbed on in fairly low RPM. No visible underbody damage to gear box or shaft.

Question: A) Is this likely a Transmission issue??

And if it is, anybody you can recommend to refurbish transmission for me?

location: Las Vegas, NV

Thank you!!!

New 2016 Sportsman 570 upgrades

I just purchased a new 2016 Sportsman 570 EFI (Non EPS) in Pursuit Camo. I have spent some time looking through this forum and am amazed at the knowledge and passion for the Polaris brand. I am going to ask some questions that I know have been asked separately but I wanted to ask them in one thread in hopes to keep answers together. The only mods so far are a brush guard, bumper guard and a warn winch.
Question
#1 Should I get 26", 27", or 28" Zilla tires? (I have already purchased aftermarket 12×7 ITP SS316 Matte Black wheels) No rubbing allowed. Not interested in testing axle strengths. What tire size is "safe", but largest upgrade…
#2 What brands should be my next economical upgrades for the following items and are they even needed?

2" lift? Front, Back, or both…There are options from $40 to $300

clutch kit? Heard a lot of people talking about it. The 570 seems to have torque to spare. Do I need it?

exhaust? Brand and why?

What other obvious upgrades am I missing?

I ride for pleasure and rarely ever push my machine. I ride mostly dry hard pack, some gravels, some mud, a trip to Windrock every 8 weeks or so. I am looking for upgrades that improve appearance and ride quality.

Looking forward to everyone’s knowledge….

Thanks!

’85 250 fourtrax issues.

Hey all, I recently bought my first fourwheeler, a 85 Honda 250 fourtrax. I have been having some issues with it since I bought it. When I first picked it up it ran sporadically and suffered from a major flooding problem. It would flood to the point fuel would come out the air filter and.pool in the box beneath the seat. I assumed it was because of a grimy carburetor. I ran several rounds of gas and STP and that seemed to take care of the problem. It ran for a bout 2 weeks and then I started noticing a lot of gas in my oil. And when I say a lot I mean enough to make fluid flow out the dipstick.

I have since changed the oil several times, because the issue keeps reoccuring. My plug fouls when it happens and I shut it off and drain the oil. I thought it was because my petcock was malfunctioning and allowing gas to flow into the carb, I short of replacing the petcock i installed an inline to ensure no fuel is flowing when it is shut off. I changed the oil and made sure every thing was good and lubricated before starting. She fired like a dream, and after allowing her to warm up, took her for a spin with out incident and rode for around an hour.

I parked it on a flat surface next to my house shut off the fuel immediately at both the petcock and inline and proceeded to my next project for the day. The next day I go to start her and the Kickstart is amazingly light and she refuses to start. I shut it off key and fuel. When I unscrew my dipstick, yet again, oil thinned by copious amounts of gas pours from it.

Sorry for the excessively long post, and I’m sure as a newbie I have forgotten to include some piece of pertinent information, so if any question is unaswered, please ask away. I would prefer this problem be solved before winter get here all the way as I plan to use it for farm work and hunting. Thanks I advance folks!

Grizzly 660 cooling fan intermittent problem

When the grizzly first warms up, the cooling fan runs strong and the voltage at the battery is 14.2. My tempt gauge shows this to happen at about 177 degrees F.

After it heats up again, the fan runs very weakly and cuts on and off. The grizzly keeps getting hotter and hotter and the voltage at the battery is about 13.4. I turn the machine off with the key on and the fan runs strong again while still cutting on and off.

The temp light on the meter does not come on at any point and at about 245 degrees F, I shut the machine off for fear of overheating.

I have a new battery, new Spal cooling fan, new cooling fan circuit breaker, new thermo switches at the radiator and at the head, new thermostat and new water pump.

I’m at a loss. Any input is appreciated.

Newbie from Missouri

Hey, all. I’m from SoC Missouri. I am brand new to owning and maintaining a fourwheeler as growing up I never had access to one. I’m grown now, 25, and am managing to buy some nicer things to keep.myself entertained. I just purchased my first wheeler and look forward to the advice that lies herein.

Sportsman 570 EPS steering not working correctly

Just got a new 2016 Sportsmen 570 SP. After riding a few times noticed the power steering slowly stops working in 4 wheel drive after you turn it a few times.

Took it to dealer and they have never seen this before. They contacted Polaris and were told this is just an issue with 570 models and buyer(me) just needs to get use to it.

Anyone else seen this?

Seem like a bogus answer when most of the time you need power steering is when you are in a bind in 4 wheel drive and it’s hard to turn the handlebars.
