Winch in/out switch?

Couldn’t find anything in a search, my Warn winch in/out switch won’t make the winch reel back in when I push on it every time. Took it apart, cleaned it with contact cleaner still not working like it’s supposed to, any suggestions? TIA

Pilot screw adjustment

Is there a tool to adjust the pilot screw on underside of carb. I need to lean out the carb and want to do it on the machine. Has anyone’s made their own tool for this or are there ones available online?

2003 Grizzly 660.

What is the best in depth manual for this machine. I have a Haynes and its not detail enough. Is the Clymer or some other better with exploded views of engine breakdown? Also there is a bearing on the crank on outside of the case between the timing chain sprocket and the starter gear on crank. I have it off and the rollers fall out. So there is no number on the bearing and I can’t find it in the Haynes manual. Anybody who can ID so I can order 1? How much slack in the oil pump drive chain? Hopefully I can find a good shop manual with the overhaul exploded views so its easy to ID. Thanks for any help.

Which winch

I recently purchased a Polaris RZR XC 900, waited and waited for Yamaha to make something that meets my needs and I got tired of waiting. I need to put a winch on my RZR and I know that many people on this forum have either worked with Polaris guys or may possibly even own a Polaris (gasp). I am wanting to put a Superwinch Terra 45SR on my machine but am having issues finding a mount plate for it. I have contacted CMP twice, once I wast told to get the 1608F plate and the other time I was told we are not sure (confidence inspiring right). KFI makes a plate but it will only suit the Terra 35 since the bolt patterns are different. What my question really boils down to is this: Is the 35SR enough winch for a UTV or should I get a plate that will mount and modify to fit, if needed, and shove the 45SR in there so I know that I have enough power for whatever I run into? I will use the winch for pulling the UTV into the bed of my truck at what I estimate to be about a 45 degree angle. The 35SR is rated to pull 4500 lbs rolling load up a 45 degree angle.

I don’t mud ride but do love to Spring snow ride so I know eventually that the winch will be pulling dead, hung up weight. I think for most needs the 35SR will be sufficient and I know I can always add a snatch block if needed but I like to keep things simple and avoid that if I can.

Any worthwhile input is appreciated.

Best brakes for grizzly 09 550/700

Hey iv been in a few situations lately were i have to slam on my brakes (rear) and so far not impressed with em just get a whole lotta slide not enough stop, (yes front ones work waay better for some reason and stop almost instantly) but id rather have the back brakes work the same since i like using them more, so i was wondering if there are some really good aftermarkets that can fix this problem, price is not a problem for me.

Thanks in advance, Ryan

Good supplier of genuine parts???

Hi Guys. Not been on for a while, work has been frantic and hunting is on a go slow during the warm months.
As in an earlier thread I had the chance of a 2013 700 as a good price. I bought it and now going through it. It belonged to a farmer who is not great on maintenance so it needs a few things done. Since parts are pretty expensive here in the UK I thought since I have a substantial list of items needed it might be worth shipping the lot over from USA.
Have any of you guys got a contact that could give a price on this and send over?
Any names/numbers would be very appreciated.
Thanks.
