Oil Pressure

On my recently acquired 2005 Sportsman 400 I did the first oil and filer change. I did the bleeding for the oil pump ( read in the small manual I got with the ATV ). Is there a low oil pressure warning indicator on the machine? Is screwing down the oil cap-dip stick the correct position to check the engine oil? Thanks John

help

I posted earlier that I put a DAYCO HPX 2204 belt on my 2001 sportsman 500HO w/EBS. Now I have a squeak in neutral and it creeps in gear. I asked if this was the wrong belt. I didn’t get any replies, I am asking again. Thank You. Could I have clutch issues?

Accessory Port

I installed one the dash to wires that had terminals on them already, 2 red wires together + and purple – are these the right ones to use? Only has power when key is on.
When I put in my spot light and 12V air compressor they don’t work.
Should I be using different wires.

2015 ETX timing help

I picked up a 2015 Sportsman ETX EFI 32hp. The only problem is that the head had been removed for some reason. Now I can not figure out how to set the timing. I have spent hours searching online with no luck and i dont want to shell out the $99 for the service manual. Any help would really be appreciated.
