What kind of “take along” foot pump or flat repair kit?

looking to purchase some type of foot pump and tire repair to take along with the quad when riding. I think I would prefer a manual pump over an electric one (any opinions?).
I have seen a guy with kind of a fold-up style that he said was around $40 that looked pretty good.
I am running Big Horn tires and have a plug kit/tool but need an air source for when I’m out in the middle of nowhere.
Any thoughts, ideas or opinions on which one you all prefer? Or, don’t like?

“New” Sportsman 800

Just picked up a 2006 Sportsman 800. Got a good price on it and it seems to be in really good shape. About 1200mi and about 400hrs on it. Mainly for the 800 owners, besides the basic maintenance, what should I look for on this one?

Thanks!

Polaris winch removal?

So I’ve discovered I have to remove my brush bar and winch just to be able to change my front diff fluid (arrrrghhh….I paid popo to install my winch just so I wouldn’t have to fiddle with it lol).
Can anyone pass the Clifts notes on how to most easily pull th Polaris 3500 winch out so I can do my fluid change? I read somewhere here that it’s only 4 bolts, but I see a lot more than that in there.

Front diff mount broke

Hello everybody,

I got this 2010 Sportsman 550 X2 a couple of months ago. I got Duro Power Grips installed this past weekend and noticed I need new bushings in the front/rear a-arms. Figure no big deal… Looked today at the front to see if the ball joints and tie rod ends need replacing and found a bigger issue. The front gearbox/differential is missing one rear mounting bolt and the other rear bolt is there but the diff casing is broke. :scared1:: Is this a common problem with these?
