Gas Gauge doesn’t work

I have a 2007 Polaris Sportsman 800 and recenlty the gas gauge always says I’m low on fuel even when the tank is full. I hate the electronic gas gauges cause they are rarely accurate but wanted to see if there is a quick fix. All of my other gauges work fine just the fuel gauge is not working right.

1991 fourtrax 300 2wd. HELP!

So I bought a bundle deal the other day from a guy and the 300 was basically in a box. Had a good motor and frame just had to put it all together. Got a few questions. One it has drum brakes up front. And the front right side locks up when rolling. Any reason as to why? And the second biggest question. I put the motor on the frame hooked up the harness. Had to purchase a new CDI and ICM arced the solenoid(have no key switch yet) and don’t have any spark. The coil is good I tested it on another quad. The kill switch is in the off position, any body know anything to check??? Thank you so much in advance

DS90X broken trans case and gear skipping

So my boy’s quad cracked the trans case where the output shaft that drives the primary gear on the chain looks to have separated. It allows the gears to jump over each other in the case as it opens up. It sounded like the chain was skipping gears.
I am wondering if anyone on here has pulled the engine to make a repair like this and if it is cost effective to spend the money to buy the casing and maybe some gears inside. I am guessing the bearing failed in the end of the casing or a metal part failed in the trans allowing it pass between the gears cracking the case.
I purchased a DVD service manual to get started but thought I would ask for some help first. If you have some insight on the cost of this repair before I take I would appreciate it. I found a new 2015 for 3K and wondered if I would just be better off going that route.

Thanks, Wally

450HO mud lite xtr upgrade awsome

So I put my 4 new mud lite xtr tires on my 450 HO F 26x9x12 R 26x11x12… No problem fitting with the 4+3 off set on the front tires….moved up two sizes from the 24’s… Not a real noticeable loss of low end power, but the proper use of hi and low range make a Hugh difference…first impression excellent tire, great in the mud, sticks like glue on rock at a slow crawl. The one thing I don’t like is the dodgey action you start getting at about 40mph. The tires are set @ 9psi never messed withe tire pressure yet?? Maybe that will help?? Gonna go on another ride before I decide in the clutch kit or not?? I also lost 150 – 200 rpm @ the top end… final thought for now… A dam good tire
