Great Sunny CO Ride
We (wgc, RockTaco & RedRocket) were able to get out on a great sunny day for a snow ride. Snow wasn’t too deep which meant we didn’t get stuck anywhere so no winching. Overall, 42 miles, light winds if at all, no clouds and temps probably in the mid-30s. Most importantly, we didn’t see anyone else on trail until the end of our ride and only two Can Am quad riders.
A great ride and time yesterday.
1999 sportsman 500 coolant reservoir filling up
This is what I have done so far
Flushed out cooling system
Replaced radiator cap
Replace thermostat
Cleaned Radiator
I can hear the fan running when the key is turnd on and engine is off when the engine is hot.
The only thing I can think of is air is getting in somewhere. When I have the time i’m going to fill the cylinder up with air and see if it’s leaking into the cooling system.
Cam chain Trx300 fourtrax
Is this possibly cam chain tension? If yes, how do I cure it before it gets worse?

Found a new Motovan Quadrex B Series rear cargo box & seat locally. Has anyone mounted these on a 2009 Grizzly 700? If so haw do you like it?

New 850SP owner questions
Just purchased a used 2016 850SP and have a couple of questions. First off, the white metal and aluminum parts are quite oxidized, is there any product that I can spray on that will remove the oxidation but not harm the steel, rubber and plastics? Also, are there any maintenance issues or things I should be aware of?
I have greased it and will be changing all of the fluids today. Is the Polaris grease any good or is there something better out there?
Thanks
Loud Exhaust/Rev Limiter
Started it up Saturday morning to head out onto the ice and noticed the gauge pod wasn’t showing the gears (H,L,N,R,P) just blank(–). But fired it up anyways and still loud as hell. Warmed up and went out, but now I reached the rev limited quick. I mean I hit it doing like 30MPH at anything over half throttle, if I was lucky. Which obviously that isn’t right.
What did I do to her??
The exhaust I was thinking is the gasket, but then starting up the next day… Clueless. No error codes present.
Its still under warranty, I purchased it in Sept. So going to call the dealership here shortly, Its already in the back of my truck ready for drop off. 300 miles on her now and this already…
Just wondering if anyone has any insight on a issue like this. I’ve been reading the forums for awhile now and seen exhaust issues, but nothing on this. Wondering what I’m in for…
