transmission shows fault E

ok so i went out to start my outlander to move it out of garage well i turned the key to on with the lights on right away i did not see my lights turn on or my fuel pump kick on, i also still tried to start n nothing the gear selector shows N on the screen then it turns to E n says transmission fault code . Its a 15 xmr 800 r outlander i removed the battery and cleaned the terminals and wire ends im giving the battery a quick hr charge on the table. What else would cause this ?

possible ownership

hey yall. I’m looking at trading for an 07 grizzly 700. it’s not charging tho. a quick Google search showed the same problem everywhere I looked. stator burns up from lack of oil. the correct fix is a good quality stator and an 09 700 stator cover. my question is, has anyone done a homemade fix? I’m talking about tapping the cover and adding an oil line.

400ex metal shaving in oil

When I drained the oil from the oil pan on my 400ex, there were metal shavings in the oil. I pulled off the right side crank case cover to get to the oil screen by the pump, and that had shaving in it as well. I got a magnet, and some of the shards stuck, but some didn’t. I’ve already got the top end torn down for a rebuild, and there doesn’t appear to be any damage to the piston or cylinder wall.
I know it was bored out to 416 by the guy I bought it from, but I don’t know how many oil changes have been done after that was done (this is the first time I’ve changed it). Could the metal I’m seeing be left from the break-in of the rebuild, or should I be looking somewhere else?

u joint drive shaft to cv

Have a 1997 500 sportsman. What has to be changed to go from u joint style rear drive shaft to c v style? Do you have to change the wheel hub or are they the same? Mine has the bolt style inner ujoint you have to remove so I assume you would have to change both drive shafts. Any help would be appreciated

1986 Honda Fourtrax TRX350 front left cv shaft repair

I could not find a thread showing the replacement of a CV shaft on the fourtrax that I obtained from my uncle that bought it brand-new. It had some clicking noises in the front end while turning the steering. Here are a few pictures as I put a new one in.

I did the pictures as I was putting it together but hope this sequence makes sense.

Good wrenching right there, these machines are really easy to work on. Good luck on your project.
