I’m just wondering how much wheel play there should be on a 2011 sportsman 500 touring. All four of my wheels have a similar amount of play. (Maybe around 1/4" top to bottom push/pull)
I was wondering if this is normal or not? I replaced my rims (STI HD3) and tires (Traxion Radical 26×9-12 and 26×12-12 Traxion Radical Tire – ATV Tires Canada) around this time last year.
I don’t hear any grinding when I jack the machine up and let them spin freely.
Anyone know what the torque specs are for the axle nuts? Do these become lose over time? Would this affect the play?
I don’t recall if there was any play on the wheels when I replaced them. I have a big ride coming up on April 25th, and was hoping to get some feedback before then. I’m away for work but will try to post a video when I return.
I hope I’ve managed to explain this well. It’s one of my first posts to the forum, but I’ve been a long time lurker trying to absorb as much as I can.
Hey guys, I bought at 1998 choke cable for my 2002 sportsman 500 ( on accident) I’ve been looking at pictures and the ends seem a little different. I can’t really tell what the end of the 02′ cable looks like. The 98 cable seems to have a longer amount of threads on it. Any one have an idea if it will work ? I’d rather not ship it back and reorder, thanks !

I recently got a 03 predator 90 for my son. Ran awesome when I got it and looks brand new. He has been riding it for about two months now. In the last week or two. The quad has been lacking power and recently starting dying after about thirty minutes of riding. When it dies. It does so as if it’s out of gas. But plenty of it in the tank. Also won’t restart for about an hour or so. I have put in a new plug. Went threw the carb. New air filter. Cleaned the tank. Checked all the connections.

I have a 2001 sportsman 500 it has been sitting for a couple of years. Before I stored it I treated the gas shut fuel valve off and ran it till it died than drained the carb.
I got it out the other day than drained the gas from the tank filled with fresh gas checked fuel filter and than pulled carb to clean. Everything looked great. Machine fired up and idle just fine. Took it for a ride and it has no power I could only go about 20 mph. I did notice the exhaust was red hot at the engine but the exhaust was coming out fine no restrictions. It got red when sitting and giving it some throttle. Any ideas why I have no power.
