Hey folks, was looking for opinions on what a low time manual shift 2013 Rancher is worth. Has only had a couple of tanks of fuel run through it. Red bare-bones Rancher on the smaller frame. The owner is asking $5900 for it which seems a bit high. I paid $4900 for a new 2008 Rancher in 2009.

4WD won’t disengage?
I bought a 2002 Polaris Sportsman 700 in a basket, and after overhauling the engine and performing general maintenance I have it back in service. It purrs like a kitten, drives well, and works great except it won’t disengage the front differential. I noticed the 4WD light behind the switch doesn’t come on and the reverse gear speed limiter doesn’t work. Are these two faults independent or is there something that could cause both problems? I’m guessing the bulb is burnt out and I need to disassemble the front differential, but thought I’d run it by y’all. Thanks for your help.

Suspension Upgrades
Starting a second thread for my other issue. A few people have commented that my machine sags to the right. I’m going to do my post riding season maintenance on the rig and my first thought is to upgrade to the performance coils (thoughts?). At the same time when I take them out I will see if a shock is blown. Other than that I have no idea why it leans, (tire pressure is normal). Also I thought of throwing wheel spacers on it, anyone have experience with this and recommendations…many thanks!
Outlander 6×6 skid plate issue
6×6 owners: I just hit my second hunting season and almost to the date of my 2 year old machine, the skid-plate broke where it bends from the front to the bottom on that 120 degree radius. After it broke my skid-plate became a road grader. I zip-tied it up but noticed how cheap the plastic is. I see in there catalog they have aluminum and HDPE 10mm polyethylene. I am a Alaska trail rider and sure I have rolled over a 4-5 inch log laying in the trail, but no way have I abused my machine. Looking for anyone with issues as well and what you did for a solution. To top that off, the skid-plate broke on one day and the very next day a bear ate my seat…not a good hunting season

First service
My 2016 has 207 miles (14.8 hours) on it now. I’m planning on doing a lot riding this weekend, so I did the first service. I changed the oil and filter, final drive, and the differential. When I opened the air cleaner box, I had a pool of what looks to me like air filter oil. It’s blue, thick and sticky. The original filter must have really been saturated with oil. The filter seal also had glue on it. I cleaned up the air box and drain tube, then installed a new factory air filter.
