2013 Kodiak 450 – EPS issue

Hi folks,
Hoping someone can help me. I have an issue with my EPS module on my ATV where I don’t have power steering anymore… The eps warning light is on, and when connected to a diagnostic machine, it is throwing a code for the torque sensor failure… Resetting the module doesn’t correct the issue… As soon as it resets, the code immediately comes back…

Unlike the grizzly, the kodiak’s module cannot be reprogrammed…

It looks like I have to replace the eps module…. And apparently the part is approx $1000 CAD….

1. Has anyone here taken apart the module and do a repair? Or had the same issue

2. $1000 for the module is just nuts! Is there a place where people from here get their parts from, other than the dealer, and has affordable prices?

3 are there places where 2nd hand parts can be purchased, like an ATV scrap yard, etc?

Thanks

300 fourtrax wont start after warmup

Just rebuilt topend. Fourwheeler started nice but after it warmed up. Wouldn’t restart. Replaced plug and it started first kick. But after it warmed up. Shut it off and then tried to restart. Wouldnt start. So I’m guessing it’s flooding the spark plug or maybe something with valve adjustment?.Appreciate any suggestions.

Super ATV power steering

When I was looking to buy super ATV ez steer power steering kit I had trouble finding people or reviews on the kit for older model Polaris’s. I ended up buying the kit and wanted to let everyone know that if you are on the fence….. Climb over it is well worth it. I used the Sportsman kit for a 2005- present on my 2004. I was worried that it would not fit but figured I would order it and see what I could come up with. Luckily it was a bolt in install on the 2004. It was quite an involved install, but nothing hard, just time consuming. Figure an 8 hour day to do it. It makes a HUGE difference when trail riding, low speed maneuvering, and plowing. This was by far the best upgrade I have done to date. I have ha it for about a year and it has worked flawlessly.

NH or So. Maine ride

Looking for people interested in NH or So. Maine riding. I just registered in Maine and plan on riding the next month or so. Been fishing up till now. But ready to ride. Got to put some miles on my ATV. I’ve never riden in Maine but heard good trails not to far from me. I just don’t know how to find the access spots, lol.
Anyway tried to join ATV Alliance but they don’t seem to be approving new members so I can’t reply to the threads over there organizing weekend rides.
So if anyone is on here help me out. My two buddies that ride are less enthusiastic than me. One is busy working on his house and the other one is old, lol.
I must warn you I’m not a trail blazer. I have balance issues that have tempered my riding habits. Don’t get me wrong I’m not a pylon. I do what I can, which isn’t what it used to be. Not looking to play "catch up" on a group ride, especially not knowing the area. So like people riding would be good.

Let me know if your up for it.
Thanks,

Sportsman 90 in high altitude

Have a 2011 Sportsman 90 that will be headed up to about 9,000 ft + in a week or so.

I know that pulling the air box lid will help some, but just in case I thought I could move the clip on the needle up 1 or 2 slots to lean it out.

Problem is that I can’t find any sort of pic, video, or tutorial on how that is done. Anyone have a pic or info on this.

I don’t have the ATV here. So I will only have access once I am up there…can’t run out and take a look for myself.

Appreciate the help.

pre filter

hi, we ride alot of dirts roads sometimes and the dust is really bad, i’ve noticed alot of dust gets by the stock pre filters, the filter is sometimes really dirty but dust has never gone through filter yet.
Does anyone know for sure if the K/N pre filters work better. I’m keeping my stock filters for now till waranties are up, won’t be long lol
