Anyone else ever had this problem, this is the second rear half shaft i have replaced (originals went bad about 6 months apart, ujoints tore apart). First one did not have enough angle, it bound up, had to take ujoint apart and grind the !@#$ out of it, it worked. Ordered from a different place, same problem, wtf.

Cleaning
So since I can’t ride at the moment I thought I would try to one arm clean my machine. I have tried numerous things from just plain soap and water to industrial cleaners then rinse and all seem to leave a thin but noticeable film of dirt. What and how do you folks clean your machines and keep the black plastic black and the blue plastic blue?
Sportsman 850 ho display gauge question
Does anyone know if the sportsman 850/550xp led gauge display is plug and play and will work on the ho version that comes with the basic gauge? I can get the led display for cheaper and my gauge quit working.
High Lifter Rear Spring Kit for Polaris
I have a 2014 550 touring and was looking to replace the springs with something a bit stiffer. I looked at highlifter’s page and couldn’t find anything for my model so I called. Just for into they have the front and rears separate or in a combo. For the 550 the fronts were 107, the rears 140.00 and the combo was 238.00. Again just for peoples info.
Back firing
So after its winter nap I took out my 2003 Sportsman 700 to go out and take down snowmobile trail signs. Everything started out fine but after about 20 mile I noticed it was back firing when I let off the gas. It had fresh gas in it and ran fine when put it away in the fall. Used stabilizer in what was left in fuel (about a gallon). Thoughts? I had to do a head gasket last year and I noticed the Y pipe was cracked so I had it welded. I know a friend that had another brand and he had a big time back firing problem and it was from a leaking exhaust.
2006 Sprtsman steering centring
When I hold the handlebars straight, the machine wanders to the right. The only adjustment I can see would be to shorten the right tierod, and lengthen the left. Anyone else have a suggestion?
