07 grizzly stator grommet oil leak

I had to replace the stator in my low mileage/run time grizzly a year or so ago,haven’t done much riding since then.(its used for plowing snow and deer hunting,didn’t get much snow last winter) So I didn’t find out about this issue until last weekend when i took the atv to go do property maintenance and put up new deer stands.

I had to replace the stator with what i remember correctly a "rm" stator? It was a aftermarket brand. Anyways I am getting a oil leak where the wires come through the grommet that seal the stator housing. Anyone else have this issue? Whats the proper way of fixing this?

For right now i cleaned it up the best i could with carb cleaner and applied a generous amount of black rtv gasket maker.I understand this is just a bandaid but i have to have the atv operating the 2nd week of November.

I tried doing a search for stator and stator leak but came up with nothing that matches my problem.

Honda foreman 500 motor mounts

Alright I have a question about my 2007 Honda foreman 500, I recently bought it an the people that I bought it from took the top motor mount completely off for some reason an I didn’t see that it wasn’t there so we rode an rode it well finally it wore out the both lover motor mounts and I was wondering mistress of buying new ones i could swap them. I have a 2003 Honda rancher 350 with good motor mounts, are the motor mounts the same ? I know they didn’t change them that much. Couldn’t find anything on google about so if you have any info please let me know. Thank you!

Adjusting toe

Trying to figure out how to adjust the toe on a second atv. The manual says toe should be Toe-out: 30 ± 15 m. I don’t know what this means. I have used c clamps to attach 2 carpenter squares together and have put marks on the tire and have rotated it 180 degrees. It is toed in right now. does the 15mm mean it should be 15mm difference between the front measurement and the rear? Front being wider to make it toe out?

ATV under water

My shop where I store my ATV flooded this weekend due to Hurricane Matthew. We had about 3′ of water than didnt recede for about 3 hours. Im currently in the process of draining all of the fluids and so far it doesnt appear water made it into anything. How sealed are these things?

I am going to have to replace the air filter and all of the fluids. Should I purchase everything from the dealer? Im new to ATVs and havent even done the first service yet. Only ridden it about 5 times since I purchased it. Should I take it to the dealer and have them do everything?

99 scrambler loses all power

I just bought a 1999 scrambler 500 4×4. When I got it, the electric start and high beams worked but the low beams and cluster lights didn’t work. Intermittently, I lose all power, no electric start, no lights, etc. It will start by pull start when this happens. Randomly, the high beams and electric start will start working again. I don’t see any obvious shorts. Is this a circuit breaker issue? What should I do?

1988 TRX350D random ignition problem

I have been riding my project for a week or more (with break-in oil additive) and then the ignition gremlin comes back again. When it was running, it ran very well and all the gears functioned properly. I swapped out the old CDI for the brand new unit and still nothing. It is doing exactly what cause me to buy a new CDI months ago. One or two sparks with accompanying sputters then nothing (no spark). Come back in an hour and it will do it again. One thing I did notice this time is that prior to complete loss of spark it bogged down with throttle (after moderate riding for an hour). Once it died then it would not start again. These two items seem to be related. I am now in the process of tracing the wiring diagram. I have ohmed out all of the connections and they pass the grade. I have seen an old post that describe my exact problem and I replied to it with a question as to how it was fixed but the post was so old that I got no reply.

What would you test and/or replace next?

Starter engages when I hook up the battey??

I didn’t even know how to search this problem so I’m just gonna ask.

94 fourtrax 300 4×4

So last weekend somehow I bent my rear rack. I took it off to replace it and figured when I was at it I’d go ahead and change out my green plastics for the tan ones I have in my shed.

Well after I swaped out the rear plastics and rack I tried to hook up the battery and the starter engages. No key in the ignition and everything is off.

Did my starter solenoid go bad somehow?

What can I check?

700 EPS Diagnostic??

I’ve read over the service manual several times. Turn on switch, disconnect diagnostic lead and within 5 secs ground male end. My eps light is on and stays on all the time so there has to be codes. But it never blinks. I’ve tried grounding to eps unit and to frame. Any ideas?
