98 Foreman ES 450 Sub Fuses

Hello, can anyone tell me what each sub fuse does on my 98 450 ES?

I have scoured the manual and cant find the listing of what does does what?

I’d like them all, but in particular, if standing on the left side of the bike, the 2nd from the bottom 15 amp fuse has blown and actually melted, so I’m trying figure out what this controls.

Carb talk

I have 03 rancher when first cleaned the carb after sitting for 3 years it ran fine float never got stuck. Now that I been through the carb multiple times and cleaned the needle nerve adjusted float it seems to just fill my air box with fuel and run out of the over flow line. I had my bike sit over night after riding with gas in tank still and the next day had no gas in the tank and had almost a gallon of gas in my air box.

Newbie in SC

Hey gang! Newbie here.

Just bought 3 Xplorer 400, 2 Sportsman 500, a 700 and a Ranger Crew. All used.

The Ranger Crew runs like a champ with 11,000 miles on it.

The others will need work. Some turn freely, some don’t. The 700 had a broke front diff, so it was removed and converted to 2wd for now.

I guess, I need to get busy making things run… I’ll need lots of help, and have a great local dealer for support if needed.

Time to grab all VIN and have the dealer run history and info on them.

2002 Honda Recon 250 ES

Hello. My reverse stopped working. Sometimes after many tries it works. I took off the electrical connector at the shifter and cleaned it but it made no difference. Any Advice? Everything else works great! I love this ATV. Battery was new at beginning of last year.
Thanks for your help.

350d rear end to 300 swap question

I’m picking up a 350d rear end for my 300 build, though I’ll probably wait until early next year to drop it in since I won’t be riding much then and it will give me time to fully go through it and replace bearings and seals, etc

I get the necessary fabrication work needed to install it into a 300 Fourtrax, but one thing I’ve never seen addressed is which hubs are used. Do you use the 350 hubs or can the 300 hubs be used?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, I bought a new renegade 1000 xxc last week. Coming from a brute force 750, which I thought had good power for a 4×4. Well, it did in 2005, anyway. This thing is fast and I can’t believe how well it jumps for a big machine. Love it!

Thinking of doing a brgr on my 07 rincon

Hey guys i was thinking of doing a BRGR on my 07 rincon! its running 27" outlaws on it and its kinda sluggish and i found this great video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdR0C–IPqQ on how to do the gear swap it seems simple enough to do just wonder how many people here has done the swap and how hard was it? Back when i got the rincon in 2013 i checked on getting it done and was like almost 1000 to pay and have it done and the local shade tree mechince who rebuilt my motor didn’t want to do it cause he said it was very defcault but from watching that video its seems pretty ez i would think easier then a motor rebuild. I found the gear set for 150 shipped which is that a good price?
