Just picked up a 2016 Polaris Sportsman 850 XP last night and looking to go riding in NJ.
I do need some help with finding how to put in a winch in her. I thought I needed a mount but can’t find one for the 2016 model however the dealer told me if I buy the Polaris (Warn) winch that I wouldn’t need a bracket.
Anyone have experience with this.
Thanks and look forward to getting to know you all!
replacing the final drive unit on my 84 due to the rear drum is cracked in 3 places and the brake cover is broken. while the drive side the bearings are shot. so picked up a good used unit and should have it today.
getting the axle out of the final drive.
removed the 2 nuts on the brake side. (downloaded the service manual) removed the spindle, and pulled the entire unit out of the quad. according to the service manual you can take a deadblow hit the axle shaft on the brake side and it will slide out.
this is not happing. the splines are rusted so far I have had to cut off what was left of the brake drum. got the brake housing off now am on the drive side and it is not going through still. splines are rusty here as well.
have heated with a propane torch and hit with airKroil. if it does not want to slide off tonight I am going to pull the cover off the drive side slide it out and cut the gear off of it.

So I have a 2005 trx250ex with the pedal shift and no clutch lever to pull. Bike operates great but sometimes won’t shift out of reverse. When it does get stuck in reverse, if you simply turn the bike off it will then easily let you pull up on the pedal and shift back into neutral.
Could this be a simple adjustment of the reverse cable not letting go or getting hung up for some reason?
Anyone with a similar experience in the past please respond. Also, I am not interested in bypassing the reverse cable since my young son rides this quad. Thanks.
Hi I’m new to the forums, I want more power out of my 99 400ex and want to get a 440 big bore kit with a 11.1 piston and a stage 2 cam, but I’ve read that they blow head gaskets bad and I will need to buy heavy duty head studs, and some people say they have the stock studs and have never had a problem with them. Is there really anything I will need to buy for a 440 kit to be reliable?
Hey guys, I have a very old and abused 2001 Honda Recon (non- ES model) that I recently put back not the trail after sitting for a long time. I replaced the rear axle that had stripped splines at the end from riding it with a loose axle nut, rebuild the carb, adjusted the valves and a few other things. She starts up and revs right up now
Anyway, the bike has plenty of power in 1st and 2nd (at least for a very high mile bike) but when you start to shift into third or higher, it starts to run out of steam. It doesn’t feel like power loss to me, there isn’t any misfiring or breaking up in the engine. it feels more like there is some slop in the driveline causing some slip of some sort. It’s hard to explain, but it doesn’t feel like the driveline is fully ‘connected’ to the engine and there is some chattery feeling when at the bottoms of the gear. The engine isnt free revving, but the bike just wants to lug along and struggle to pick up speed, even on flat ground. The more throttle you give it, the more it feels like your lugging it in too low of a gear and the chattering feeling gets worse. If you manage to make it to the top of the gear, it feels bit better but it’s hard to even get it there unless I’m on a flat street with very little load on the motor.
I’m not too familiar with the clutch assemblies on these ATVs but I am figuring I am going to have to learn. What do you guys suspect? I thought maybe the engine really is just down on power from many years of abuse, but first gear feels like it could still pull a truck, second revs through fine and the chattering feeling makes me feel like something else is going on other than it just lugging from lack of power. I think I remember this problem starting when I used to take it out on snowy roads where I was constantly shifting up through gears spinning but not really going anywhere, bogging down and what not. I think I abused the clutch pretty bad there. What do you think I will need to fix it?
Hello everyone. I have two 1986 honda quads. One is a two wheel drive and the other is a four. Just recently changed the starters on both. The four wheeler now makes all kinds of ungodly clanking sounds and the two wheeler just sits there and spins without cranking. I took off the side covers on each to expose the gears involved with starting. Everything is turning as it should when the start button is depressed but the engine will not crank. All gears are where they are supposed to be. This isn’t brain surgery so I am at a loss to explain what’s going on. These are aftermarket starters but match the others gear and depth perfectly. Anybody have any ideas? The four wheeler starts but makes noise and occasionally will just sit there and spin the starter gears without cranking.The very same condition as the two wheeler but after hitting the start button repeatedly will eventually crank. Not so with the two wheeler. I can hold the start button for 10 minutes and it will just spin the starter gears without ever getting to the crank engine stage.
Hello everyone. I bought a 2008 renegade 500 from a friend and have checked the oil a few times since I have owned it over this past summer and everything seemed to be fine. Yesterday I check the oil level and all of a sudden it was way too full almost overflowing out of the dipstick hole. I pulled out the excess oil back to level it was about a half quart too much. It does not seem to smell like gas or is not milky. Any suggestions on what to do next? What do you guys think?
