I’m a new ATV owner and have some stupid questions, so I will apologize in advance for knowing next to nothing. I’m a 39 year old Minnesota native and have a: 2007 Sportsman 500 H.O. that I use for hunting, giving rides to my two young boys, and primarily use as an ice fishing machine.
I did a couple searches but thought I would say hello and see if anyone has any quick links.
Is there a how-to video about oil changes and basic maintenance or a thread of "stuff that’s good to know" for newbie owners? Do these things like particular types of oil?
If I wanted some replacement parts for the machine, suggestions for sites/vendors? Example – he small piece of expanded metal that protects the front end is dented and starting to rust.
The starter in the machine chatters when it’s running. Any threads that deal with fixing that?
Is there a cheap/easy way to replace the fuel-gauge sending unit? Mine shows that the tank is nearly empty regardless of fuel level.
Finally, other than basic exhaust wrap, suggestions for keeping the heat from the exhaust from melting the plastic on the right side of the machine?
Thanks in advance!!!
Ted from Minnesota.
