Warn front bumper!!

I’ve been looking at the Warn front bumper model 75221 for a while I really like the mean and aggressive look and protection it gives the machine. Just wanted to know who has one and your thoughts on it and does it just bolt on over the factory bumper and plastic????:rocker:

Louisiana Trails Info? Kisatchie Info?

I live in NW LA…just got a Rubicon and eager to hit trails…all info online on Louisiana Trails seems outdated and the latest updates I found on it say the train crossing bridges are dangerous…anyone been there lately? What about Kisatchie? I heard the sandstone / green dot trail is the best there? Is it all sand or dirt or what? Thanks for any help here…I am not looking for bogged down mud pits but looking for trails that won’t sink me.

2004 Foreman Rubicon 500 Dies

I just bought a Foreman 500 and it was running great at the house. Decided to take it out to ride on a large plot of land. Rode it all day long it rode very strong with no issues. On the way back to the truck was driving at 45mph and it died. Turned it off and back on. Went back up to 45 and died again. Started it back and made it back to the truck. Backed it off the trailer tonight back at the house and it was idling for 5 minuted and died. It won’t start now. I’ve got plenty of fuel in the tank. I never saw any temp warnings or other warnings. Any ideas ?

2012 Renagde 500 Limp home mode

Heyy guys, quick question went out for a ride the other day and my limp home mode kept coming on and off during the day, everything was fine for the first 2 hours, limp mode won’t come on for about 5 seconds and would go off, every few minutes it would do it probably for a half hour then be good for another hour. It usually came on around 5K-6K rpm, when limp mode came on it sounded like it was running on one cylinder exhaust was really weak. I do a farm bit of trail riding and I’m typically around the 3.5-6k rpm mark when riding.temp level was good 140-160℉. And the battery was charged up 2 trips prior to going out, and battery terminals were tightened up a day prior to the ride. Any one have any ideas why limp mode kept coming on and off during the day? Before it came on you could tell it was going to, sounded like you were govering out when it did. Any suggestions would be good thank you!! 🙂

How to get starter out??? 2007 Sportsman 500

Guy,

Am pretty certain I have a bad starter on my 2007 Sportsman 500 HO EFI.

Battery has been replaced. Starter relay is not the problem. Have the service manual. Have seen the Youtube videos of earlier years starter replacement. Reciip is removed. Have new starter in hand.

Cannot figure out how the PVT intake duct comes out to allow the starter to be removed. The side panels of older ATVs uncover a bolt that hoids the duct in place. On the 2007 I cannot see a bolt that holds that duct in place.

Can someone PLEASE give me some direction?

Thank you VERY, VERY much!

Mike

DO NOT EMAIL YAMAHA

Do not email yamaha from there Web pages "contact us" link. Someone is steeling the information from the form you fill out. I was hit and have been getting endless emails and phone calls from spammers.
We had an I.T guy here to try and figure it out. In the list of pages I gave him that I contacted he said the yamaha pages when he looked into them (not computer savey) (don’t know the terms) but info is being stolen from there pages

Shift buttons do nothing on 01 Foreman 500

I am not getting any error signals on my LED screen.I get an "N" when in neutral, an "R" when in reverse, but I get nothing when I am in drive. Just a blank space. Nothing flashes. If I start with the up and down buttons pressed, it does not communicate with the control motor. If I put it in ESP mode, it does not do anything when I press the up or down button. No noise or anything. I can drive the ATV, but it stays in first gear. When in Drive, the screen shows D1, D2 AND ESP, but when in Neutral and Reverse, it shows whichever mode you are actually in.

I have read to change everything from the wiring harness ($600) to the battery to the angle sensor. This could get expensive to part swap everything, so I thought I would post my specific problem to see if anyone has experienced this and could provide some guidance.

Thanks in advance.
