So I went to turn my sportsman 500 on the other day and noticed the tach reads 600 rpms and doesn’t change. It even reads it when the atv is off and the key is just turned on. Does anyone know what the issue could be or point me to a connection somewhere that I could check for water damage/rusting of prongs. The speedometer also quit working a couple months ago but the tach still worked fine, so if anybody has a suggestion on that I’d appreciate it too! Thank you.

I have a 420 fa es 4×4 2009 model and my rear brake switch has to be made before headlights will work. In others words the brake light has to be on before the headlights will work. I by passed the rear brake switch and headlights work and brake light shines bright. When i untwist the wires where the circuit isnt made my headlights and brake light go out. Any suggestion on a fix?

Thinking about getting an Outlander 450 DPS for the wife to ride. I see in the Can Am accessories that the snorkel kit if for all Outlanders "except with 400 engine". I am wondering of it will work on the 450 L….or are the instructions just behind a bit. The 450 is still a 1 cyl motor like the 400. I put a Snorkel Your ATV kit on the wife’s old 08 EFI 400 and it was a PITA, so I was hoping the Can Am part will work. Anyone have any experience here?

I’m rebuilding a scrambler 400 I’ve got my parts and time for Reassembly. It’s all in the boxes right now but I’m planning to thoroughly clean the case and parts out then begin to assemble the motor. If anyone has any pointers or issues you ran into id appreciate it.

Thanks

Hello folks, I have been away for a few years, I sold my 2008 550 Grizzly back in 2011-2012, I have been caring for my mother and had no time to take trips/using the machine, my mother passed away this past September 🙁 severe grief as she was my best friend and primary inspiration in life.

Anyway I did continue to be an avid snowmobile rider/enthusiast because there are local trails within a mile of my home, every chance I got (when there was snow and the trails were open) I would hit the trails for a few hours (when I had someone to watch and care for mom) I do have some sick sleds as well as a few vintage snowmobiles <3 .

Back to ATV’s, I sold mine because it sat, I was lucky to ride it one weekend out of the year….now I can travel and want to begin taking odd trips to the UP, Tennessee and wherever with my older brother who is a long time avid ATV’er (Honda guy :()

I have been shopping local Yamaha dealers and decided not to purchase a new machine, I do not want to spend more than 6K…I know of a one owner 2013 550 EP Camo w/factory winch for sale that only has a few hundred miles, mint like new, the only mod I would make is new tires Maxxis Big Horns or similar….I am fine with the power of a 550 as I do not plan to do wheelies or race anyone….I just want to ride the trails and hit the mud swamps (hunting)

What do you folks think of the 2012-2013 Yamaha 550’s? are there any issues recalls that I should be aware of? I have ridden 700 Grizzly’s and yes the power difference quite noticeable, but again I don’t need it…being 53 years old I will not be getting to crazy.

Any input or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Looking to replace stock tires on my stock 2016 grizzly 700 and stock 2016 kodiak 700 looking at putting 28" mega mayhems on the grizz and 27" mega mayhems on the Kodiak. My question is is anybody running these tires on stock machines and if so how much of a power loss due to the extra weight. Also goes the stock rim weights compare to the itp steelies weights. I like the look of the itp steel wheels. Thanks for any input.
