Need part number for LED harness

Hey guys. 15 570 SP here. Bought a led bar off the internet but it comes with a cheap and probably easy to break switch.
Does anyone have a switch that can mount in a factory location on the 570SP that has a quick connect wired to it. A part number or link to it? Thanks in advance.

Snorkeling Brute Force

My buddies got a 06 brute force he’s wanting me to snorkel. It’s the carb 750. I wanted to know everything I will need including what to vent and what to close off. I know I need to dielectric grease all of the plug ins. Thanks everyone.

Got a problem

So I went in some water with my recon and it died with the muffler under so about 10 seconds after the muffler wat out of water then I tried starting it and didn’t start. Now about an hour after it I get it home and it starts and idles for about 10 seconds with choke on and won’t start with choke off. And it only turns over once a few mintues. Any more often than that and it stops in mid turn. I was not going to be home all day so I was gonna leave it on its rear wheels all day with the gas off. Is this the spark plug or what that got wet or is it that there is water somewhere still?

difference in axle boots

Got to say i personally like the less pleats of the aftermarket oem replacement axle boots over the oe standard. Oe has so many pleats they are tight to eachother which make for a perfect holding area for dirt/sand to get stuck and slowly grind away at the boots. Notice everytime i clean up from a ride when i roll machine forward to hose out all 8 boots, everytime there is gunk stuck…hopefully as im forced to replace axles due to oe boot clamp failures i can get more life from these.

Halloween Ride

We rode yesterday and it turned into a recovery mission , right at dark I got a call from my buddy who was hunting hogs that he downed a big one by himself with no ATV and needed some help , so we went and found him and got it out for him —personally I would have left him for the coyotes , WLF wants you to take them out as they are a real problem , there is a program right now that if you catch them alive with out using dogs as they don’t buy them with bite marks , they will give you $1 per pound

Finally Happen !!

Well I’m 51 yrs old , been on ATVs all my life , and today I sunk (Flooded) my bike,,,, my buddy towed me back to camp. I pulled plug water camp out , drained oil , pulled oil filter washed in gas put back , put one at of Marvel Mystery oil and one qt of cheap oil , ran for 2 min , drained and repeated the above and rain 5 min , oil still milky ,,,, got dark mosquitos came out so we are in camp now. I have more oil and two new filters and some sea foam. Just wondering what else I should do or am I on the right track. Could find and Honda oil so I have some Valvoline 10W-40 Motorcycle oil with Superior wet clutch protection.
What exactly is "Wet clutch protection"
My bike is a 2010 Honda 4×4 TRX420FM , witch is a manual shift only …. Will this oil be okay to run long term or do I really need to pick up some Honda GN4 oil when I get home.
Thanks
