4 wheel to 2 wheel drive question

I have a Rancher 350FE. It has a button on the front right to switch from 2 wheel to 4 wheel drive. I have had it for 2 years and it has never worked. I just keep it in 4 wheel drive. What is that switch called? Can it be replaced? Is it needed? I have been told it is better on the roads to use 2 wd instead of 4wd.

1983 Honda ATC 70 Pull Starter Help

I’m trying to repair/restore my 70s pull starter, I was looking at a diagram online and notice I didn’t have #12(it’s like a little spring,maybe a return spring?) how do you install it? Is it needed? Every time assemble the starter the dogs pop out after 10-15 pulls. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

front brakes 2013 sportsman 850

Question, when I put front brakes on my 2013 sportsman 850 it’s pretty simple. I tighten the allen wrench bolt until the rotors don’t turn, then I back off on the bolt until the rotors rotate freely. I have noticed that I have been going through brakes in 100 miles or less, now I have to be honest, I was buying the cheap ones that were going for about $11.00 total. I now have installed the more expensive ones that run about $50.00 and will see how this works out. Am I missing something? Am I adjusting the allen wrench bolt correctly? Thank you.
