Hi I have a 2008 Polaris Sportsman 300 FC that smoke real bad at startup. Once the Engine warms up it goes away. However, I know its burning oil since I have to add a small amount every 2-3 rides. Does it sound like bad valve seals?

2000 sportsman 500 RSE radiator cap
Hey all, first post. I’m new to atvs and picked up my first one yesterday. Looks in pretty good shape for the age. As 186 hrs and 9xx mi. Any ways I want to inspect the coolant and started at the tank, which is below the min line. I want to look into the radiator so I went ahead and removed the front plastic. I loosened the cap, but it doesn’t want to come off and I don’t want to force it. Is there a trick to getting it off?
01 sportsman 500 ho oil change
What is the best way to go about changing engine oil on a 01 sportsman 500 ho? I’ve been doing some reading online and I have heard about priming the oil system? What’s that about? You can drain the seperate tank (under left front tire fender) without a problem.. But the crankcase bolt underneath is a big issue I’ve heard.. My brother told me to not touch that bolt as he did a oil change on a 400 sportsman and said something about it losing pressure? Anyway, soon after the engine started knocking, which we all know what that means :/ anybody have any pointers?

battery post screw
This may seem odd but Ill ask it anyway. So my 550 came with two wires attached to the – and three wires to the + terminals. Add one wire each and you are now up to three and four wires (terminal ends that is). Add a battery tender and you are now up to four and five connections. There is much screw length left to even grab lol. Do you just get a longer screw?

battery replacement
Okay first I have a 2014 sportsman 550 touring eps. The battery that came with the quad is a usa 12.6ah, 210 cca. It measures 6 1/2" tall, 3 1/2" deep, and 5 1/4" wide left hand positive. I have called everywhere lol. The best I have found is at my local popo dealer is Yuasa Battery, Inc.YTX20H. While it only has 18ah it does have a high cca (310). My battery lays flat not upright. I can go to probably 7" wide and there is a spacer underneath that would allow some added depth. I would like to get a 30ah. If anyone has a SPECIFIC battery type and model that would fit I would appreciate the help.
