I noticed my new 850 SP with only about 5 hours on it likes to dog off the line and won’t free rev in neutral until it’s really good an hot. I assume it’s probably got to do with the factory plugs, I read upgrading to some NGK ILZKAR7A10 Laser Iridiums fixes these issues, my question is it safe to change to a hotter plug before I finish the break-in period?

I have a 1993 Polaris Sportsman 350 and am wondering what are the consequences of mixing regular 2 cycle oil in with the synthetic blend currently in the machine?

Hi all, I been a lurker more than a member for awhile…I just picked up a ’96 Sportsman 500…3577mi…Smoked cam, Destroyed piston/cylinder, con-rod-Smoked! Also, There was no oil in it when I got it…crank was full of coolant! Pretty sure it was run that way:motz:

Now I have been looking for a 455 diesel for a loooong time….But after hearing about some issues people have with them…I decided to go 3cyl for a MUCH smoother ride…Won’t be as hard on belts either…

With that being said…I happen to have a kubota D600-B 3cyl diesel that is Rated at 18hp @ 2400…I got it out of a transicold reefer unit.

Suggestions and comments on fitment and other issues I might have…Throw ’em out there!

Thanks for viewing!

I’m just riding along and bam my tire flew off and I flew over handle bars..:silvia:

Welp here’s my next three questions to help get me into my first machine (looking to buy used btw)…

1) I’m hooked on the camo color scheme but don’t want to let that stop me from getting into a good bike. Say you had something like a red or green 2010 Grizz 550 and wanted to turn it camo. How would you go about that? Buy all the plastic off ebay and sell what comes off yours to recoup some of the cost? Or is there some kind of plastic or material cover you could get? Also, about how much would each route end up costing?

2) I’ve seen the back end of some machines that look like they’re just not set up to handle a hitch ball. Are there some machines that you can’t put a ball on at all, or are there aftermarket conversion kits made for every machine out there?

3) Same question for winches. I’ve seen some Grizz front ends that, either because of the molding or frame, just don’t look like they’d take a winch. Am I right, or will all bikes (or at lease all Grizzlys) be able to accept an aftermarket winch kit?

Thanks

Got my first 4 wheeler last week, a 2015 ETX with just a winch installed at time of purchase. Have ordered a WES Industry rear storage / seat and a rear footrests from Offroad Motorsports Inc.

Picking up the parts to make my own ‘lock and ride’ hardware.

What are you adding?

New owner of a 2004 Sportsman 500 HO and having trouble finding a Bumper System before 2005. Warn makes one but I was looking for other options. Didn’t know if modifying a 2005 rack would be doable. Any ideas would be appreciated.Attachment 25956 I’ve attached a photo of what I’m looking for.

I’m trying to get the rear axle off as my son blew a u joint and destroyed the yoke on the hub side. I can get the bolt out of the differential end but I can’t figure out how to get the yoke off. It’s seized to what must be a shaft coming out of the differential. Any advice would be great. Thanks
