RM Stator’s $250 Giveaway Contest!

RM Stator’s $250 Giveaway Contest!

Hey Polaris ATV Forums, time for our first contest! If we can get some great participation on this, I’ll have more and more to give away in the near future!

What you can win:
I’m giving away a $250 credit on the RMSTATOR website. This will get you a new stator, voltage regulator, CDI, Flywheel, AC->DC Ignition Conversion Kit, and more! I was going to give away a specific part, but I’d rather the winner get to choose so you can get whatever part you need for your particular ATV. The winner will get a PM on the forum with a discount code to use on our website. It will be good for at least one month after the contest ends, and can only be used once.

How Long is the contest?
The contest will end on August 1st, 2016. I’ll be picking a winner from all the entries and will post the winner on August 2nd, 2016.

How do I enter?
Easy! Reply in this thread and tell me about the worst electrical problem you’ve ever had with your ATV, and how you fixed it. Bonus points for posting a picture of your ATV! Extra bonus points once I narrow the entries down to couple finalists if you’ve liked the RM Stator Facebook page!

Thanks for entering, looking forward to hearing your stories!

Ok to use Rotella T6 5W-40 in my Grizz 700?

I’m wanting to run Shell Rotella T6 synthetic in the 700 Griz but I can only find it in either 0W-40 or 5W-40 weights, and the manual says it’s ok to use everything BUT those weights…5W-30, 10W-30, 10W-40, 15W-40, 20W-40 and 20W-50.

Would it be ok to use the Rotella 5W-40 or do I need to stick to what’s specified in the manual?

Tire suggestions

I’m still getting more life out of my stock tires on my 07 Sportsman 800 but wanted to know about suggestions for replacements. I have seen several deals on Amazon and ATV.com with tires sets for around $250 not including rims. I’d like to just put tires onto the stock rims and get ones that are bigger and better for mud without doing a lift kit. I know if I put on bigger tires I will need to clutch the machine and I’m fine with that I want to clutch it anyways. Any suggestions on a tire that is good for mud and maybe a little bigger that fits on the stock rims? Thanks in advance for any info.

the plug in exhaust

I have a 2015 rancher with 1400 miles and was wondering if anyone has taking the plug out of the exhaust to clean it out?I tried to get it off and it’s ready to strip,even tried a pipe wrench.Mine is in there really tight for some reason.
