I have an older Polaris quad that it looks like the weights are handing up on the shaft of the primary clutch. IS ths something that I can lube up with some lithium grease?

THanks

Bike is 2000 Polaris magnum 500

I don’t know if anyone does this, but I would like to purchase a tire air pump for my "New" ATV and carry it around with me. Does anyone do this, and if so, what kind do you recommend?

Thank You

Well here’s the deal, if ya,ll seen my last post you would know I grenaded motor shortly after I bought my 2013 850xp. Since then I had bought a motor from powers ports nation had it put in and all has been well. Granted the only thing I have done on it is plow a few small driveways but has ran excellent. Until last weekend I went for a nice longer ride with a buddy when we stopped for a bit, the quad didn’t want to start like it has been. Ride home,park. Go to move it next day and doesn’t want to start without giving it a touch on the throttle, when it does run the idle is crappy and fluctuating. Exhaust sounds different and machine shakes. Ride for a few minutes seemed to get a touch better but Boggs badly when taking off. Fast forward a day, clean air filter replace plugs. Start up and it’s worse than I was. Falls on its face when throttled up in park and while running and does not have the power it has had. I worried the timeing gear has jumped I’ve been reading that is common in these. Of course my 90day warranty on motor ended 17days ago. Is there anything else to check to tell what’s going on. I’ve bout had it with this 850 and ready to throw in the towel.

Me personally think they should make a app for the forum I usually just use the forum from my phone but it would be so much simpler of there was a app for android and iphone

I’d like to know if there is a benefit to buying larger tires for my Sportsman 800 as its starting to need a new clutch belt and tires. I’m wondering if I should install larger tires and bite the bullet and install a new clutch to mate the tires.
We ride mostly trails in the woods and lately encounter alot of mud, and also have been on the dunes.
The original tires have been great but they are getting worn down too.

I just don’t know what to expect from these upgrades? and what drawbacks?

Thanks Jack

PS If I do these upgrades do I also need more power as in a tuner or chip, exhaust?? where does that end?
Thanks again for everyones input

I’m trying very hard to under the Rider Information Center the best I can. I’m wondering if anyone can tell me how many hours before I need my new ATV serviced and I’m sort of confused where to look.

I’ve enclosed a picture, but in case it didn’t come out, I see a wrench and above that I see the numbers 49.0. A little history is tho, I purchased this ATV yesterday (Friday), and this was taken today (Saturday). Does this mean so far I have gone 49.0 hours?

Also what is the best way (besides the book way (not much detail) in breaking in the ATV?

Thanks.

looking to get 4" lift and chrome Wheels 20"AND 305/55/20 tires
what do you guys on your trucks

I was thinking is there any company out there that makes a recovery/tow strap using synthetic rope? I think it would be a great idea since a 20 ft synthetic rope would make a great tow strap. It would be strong and compact and since space can be limited we would have more room for other stuff in the storage box. Dont get me wrong there is nothing wrong with the big yellow tow strap but they tend to take up more room.

Do you guys think this is a problem? If you can’t see it it is a piece that is uneven on the axle. It’s the part of the axle between the left tire and the differential on a honda recon.
