1994 Honda TRX 200 question

Hello y’all, I have a 1994 Honda TRX 200 D Type 2 and when I try to start it I get a "clicking" sound coming from the starter relay solenoid. I’ve checked the fuse, battery and replaced the relay but still get the same sound and nothing turning over. Is my next step to take off the starter motor and replace? Any help would be sincerely appreciated!!

Help Deciding?

I’m looking to purchase a used ATV for my 13 year old 145 lbs son. I was looking at a 250 recon, however I noticed for not much more mine I can find 350 ranchers. My question is are the ranchers harder to handle being larger in size and 4×4? Thanks in advance..

15 570 Sprtsman Chinese wireless remote with Polaris 3500 HD

I have a ’15 Sportsman 570 that I’ve installed the Polaris 3500 HD winch. The winch came with the handle bar switch that plugged into the handle bar wiring. The winch had a white connector that plugged in down at the frame mount for the switch connector. It made the install "plug and play".

A friend got me this $20 wireless remote and it has a receiver with four leads: hot/positive, negative, in & out.

My question is how do I connect it into the factory wiring?? The polaris winch has a green & black wire coming in from the handle bar. I’ve scoured the site, most of the installations I’ve read about have an external contactor that the wires connect with; however, the Polaris contactor on the winch that appears sealed.

Anyone have thoughts on the wiring?

Any suggestions installing (Twist Throttle)

I have decided to install a twist throttle on my 08 700 xx, and most have suggested going with (Motion pro). Looking at their web page there is no selection for my quad to order cable and handle bar mounting part. There is however calculations for ordering. I also see on Ebay a motion pro listed to fit a 700 xx. What does the (Twist Throttle) crowd do for their quad install.

Hand/Thumb warmers and acces. wires?

I’m getting ready to install an LED light bar and I opened up the cover under the rack and saw the two orange/orange-white tracer wires. I checked them with my multi-meter and both of them are hot when the key is on. I would assume these are the two accessory wires that everyone always alludes to? Or are there more in the actual pod itself? Reason why I ask is I want to eventually install heated grips and maybe a thumb warmer. Am I by using one of the accessory wires for the light screwing myself down the road for possible power points with the warmers?

Digging up dirt with (Twist Throttle)

Rode this past weekend and this is my third year with this quad, I still have a hard time with the thumb throttle. I thought I would come around with the thumb throttle coordination, but I feel like I’m fighting it. I find myself trying to twist the hand grip off the bars like a twist throttle. Is it me or do other riders have the same issue? And I’m seriously thinking of converting to a twist throttle, wait , wait, OK all the naysayers can chime in now, this issue always digs up old dirt I know.
