Well eing the skeptic I was unsure of how this stuff would work. It has great reviews and most of the negatives are it’s expense. On my 550 it was fantastic. Anything black looks brand new and the blue looks 100% better. I will definately be using this in the future. When I get a chance to ride and see how it affects cleaning I will repost.

Front cv axle problems
I recently bought a 04 700 carb. Model. I had to install front axles. Problem now is the axle on left wants to pull out of diff. It pops in the diff. and seems to pull to the left. What would make the axle pull out of the diff.? Any ideas on what it could be?
2004 Sportsman 700 fuel gauge in pod?

Diff pinion cover
Ive seen some post on these and how they are an issue and that you should replace them with billet ones. I just don’t know much about them and what they do and if they are a problem in the 550’s. Can someone explain what they are etc. Thanks.
Sportsman 800 problems
Hey yall, I have a couple issues with my 06 sportsman 800 and was wondering if ya’ll could help? The first issue is the speedometer doesn’t work. The hours and the rpm does, but I don’t know how fast I’m going. I replaced the speed sensor in the wheel (with a used one) and I still have the same problem. The other problem is that the wire that comes out of the front diff got torn off, so I don’t have 4×4 now. Does anyone know where I can buy JUST the right side? I just rebuilt the diff. I know these problems may or may-not be related or affect each other. Thanks for the help!

2013 Starter Click
My 2013 sportsman 500 would not start. Only clicked once per key turn (no chatter). Found the problem to be a severed battery cable at the battery (red positive cable, braided copper). Re-soldered and straightened the 90 degree crimp connector slightly toward the battery to relieve future stress. Easy fix.
cigarette port led work light
Tried googling this and all I can find is junk….
I got an 07 sportsman 800 with the lighter port in the headlight pod. I’ve never used it but I’m looking for an led work light so I can split firewood and load rounds into my trailer out in the dark, far far away from my house in the woods. I tried using the rear work lights on the quad, but they’re too low and too friggin bright.
Anyone come across something like this, and do I have to keep the ignition on to power the port? I imagine so, but it would be nice to wife up and accessory switch to power this port so I don’t need to have the quad juiced the whole time.
2010 Sportsman 500 Gauge issue
The gauges on my 2010 Sportsman 500 stopped working recently, but the machine still started and ran. I read online that a common problem is the Rect-Regulator. So I purchased one and installed it last night. After installing the machine started once but the gauges never worked. I did check the fuses, to eliminate those, all checked good. I then tried to start the machine again and I have nothing now. Not even a click. Has anyone ran across this issue?
Thanks, Brad
Anyone snorkel a 450/etx?
