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?

I have a 05 predator I just bought recently everything seemed good. Then it all went to shit real quick. Couple months later rear carrier is done, the hole front end, bearings, tie rods ends, and ball joints. I took it out today and it seemed fine, then it started puttering and stalling when I would slow down and come to a stop. It did that for a couple hours then it stalled again and when I went to start again it made a noise and now it just spins it’s like the starter isn’t grabbing anything to turn the bike over?? Any help would be great thank you

After my last trip into the Idaho wilderness, I knew I needed a new trailer. I could not find a great advantage to ATV tires. I have to be no wider than 50 inches.

We are going into the Frank Church Wilderness to explore the old mines from the early 1900.

The Car Top carrier is dust/rain proof so that is for the sleeping bag, pillow and blanket, you really don’t want them all dusty. The top deck is held in place by the straps of the carrier until I move it to the front and with it’s support it becomes my work table. I put a rear table on so I could have a dinning table. The tongue stand will keep the whole thing level for me. I did remove 1 leaf out of the springs so the trailer would not bounce down the trails so bad. It is now rated for 600 lbs of gear which is plenty.

Cargo area is 36X48
Front table is 30X30
Back table is 17X34

I messed my first post by editing then deleting it accidentally.

I bought a Chinese Renli SXS and lost quite of money due it breaking everyday. Sold it as scrap and decided to pull the trigger to buy something I can have many years and be happy.

I decided to buy the Scrambler 1000 XP and ordered it, hoping the insane amount of money they cost here (Almost 20 000 $) will mean same quality as price.

But further I dig on the web the more I think maybe scrambler is not so durable as I tought. I just drive nicely on forest trails and some small mud puddle here and there. Don’t plan any agressive driving or jumps.

I tries ordering 2017/hoping for some improvements but dealer says no change, and can’t order 2017 yet anyway.

So before I spend my savings next week I’m open to any advice. I tried speaking to the dealer about problems (differential, frame
…)/and he says all of them were heavily abused. Altrough some of this people say it was not the case.

Are there any changes to 2017? Should I avoid 2016?

Well, I finally gave in to my old eyes and bought a new GPS for the Grizzly that I can actually see when riding. Getting old not only sucks but it’s expensive too! :rofl:

I picked up a Garmin Montana 610t on eBay.

:lala:

Now to get the powered mount / Ram mount combination and get it all installed. Kinda looking forward to that project. :getrdone:

Now to find a home for the Garmin 62st. :icon_ goofy:
