Riding in Williams AZ.

Last weekend I took my wife & boys for a little rest and relaxation weekend trip to Williams AZ. We arrived on Thursday and left Sunday. What a awesome place to teach the little one to ride. The views & weather was amazing. Here are some pictures of our little adventure.

Base camp.

Nicole & the boys checking out the area while I set up.

Look what we built!

Time to ride!

Time to say goodbye to Williams AZ.

2010 xp550 harsh engagement

My dad has a 2010 XP550 and when it engages forward or reverse it is harsh. Hard enough that he doesn’t feel comfortable loading or unloading it on my trailer. I have clutch kits in both my 850 and my 1000 but have had them since new and don’t remember if mine were that harsh while engaging so I’m not sure if a kit will solve this problem or not. Just don’t want him to spend $200 plus if it doesn’t fix this problem. Anyone install a kit to cure this problem?

1999 Big Bear Oil Seal Leaking ( Need Help )

I have a 1999 Yamaha Big Bear 350 SE with H&L range and need help with replacing the front oil seal in the middle drive gear ( transfer case )… Do the seal have to be installed from the inside ? How do I remove the transfer case from the bike so i can split the case ( from what i’ve read this needs to be done ) Any and all help would be great. Thanks

Mile High Nationals

The NHRA is in town this weekend, and I just bought my tickets for Friday rounds 1 and 2 of qualifying. Always a good time and can never believe the power these little 500 CI engines can make. 🙂 Even more amazing is that they can hook up to the track and go with that much HP.

This is how I did it…

This is how they do it…

01 sportsman 500ho awd inop

i jut bought a 01 sportsman 500ho. I knew the awd was not working once I got it. I read up and grounded my awd front coils. my speedo is not working also bypassed the speedo for the awd. I have ground on brown/white wire at awd switch. I have no power from the grey/white that goes into the awd switch. were does the power come from for the grey and white wire. my neutral light works. the neutral light stays on in reverse. I get no awd light. I have one awd coil that is open the others about 24 ohms. but from what I see from the diagram there not in series so I should have atleast one front wheel working. any hlp would be great thank you so much!!

Rear crankcase oil collar and o-ring missing?

Hey everyone I’m new here from Muscadine,Alabama. I bought a 2005 Honda rancher AT 400… I was going through the motor since I got it so cheap knowing you had a shifting issue with the angle sensor. Code 6. I pulled the covers off the front and rear And noticed the lower all pressure relief valve was stuck, and the oil collar in The top right corner of the rear crank case cover is missing. What is the part number to this or where can I find it? Or what will work in its place if anything? Any help is greatly appreciated…

maintenance some Honda atv that’s been setting for about 3 years

Hi guys I have a 06 rancher a 07 rincon and 07 recon that’s been out of commission for about 3 years hit a ruff spot in life and haven’t been into ridding them. The atvs still had gas in them which is bad now and the battery’s are shot so I was going to drain gas and change oil on it but wondering if there’s anything else I need to do like put some kinda gas treatment in it or carb cleaner through it first as I no nothing on how to take a carb apart and clean one. Thanks ln advance

06 sportsman AWD not working

I read through all the related threads and I seem to have a unique situation.
Electrically I believe all is well I have power at the connector and the 4×4 displays on the cluster as it should. 27 ohms on the coil.

2006 Sportsman 500 HO EFI

Fluid level is full and clean as I just changed it.

With the quad in the air in low or high in AWD the front left spins but I can hold it from spinning pretty easy. The front right tries to spin but doesn’t. It is basically freewheeling.

In reverse with the override pressed, the left front is very strong and difficult to hold back. The right side spins very slowly.

Is this behavior normal?

Also, since electrically everything is in order my guess is mechanical.
Are the front diffs rebuild-able? I did a search and only found 700 and up listngs.

Any help steering me in the right direction is appreciated
