700 Sportsman

I have a 2001 sportsman 700 twin come in to me.I am not real familiar with quads but said id look at it. Customer drove it off of the trailer and then later it would crank but no start. Brought into shop and found no spark. After some testing determined stator. Pulled side cover and found where wires attach to stator were burnt off. customer ordered new stator and I installed it. Still no spark. Customer got new rectifier and ignition coil module. Still no spark. I dont know where to turn next. Can anyone give me some advice?

Elka Stage 1’s On the Way

Welp I pulled the trigger and purchased the Stage 1 Elka’s. I have extrememly contemplated the Stage 3’s but I think I will be happy with the improvement of the stage 1’s over stock. I dont think I will ever need the rezi’s but it would be nice to have adjustment ability I just dont know if it is 350$ nice. For me! I also ordered 1" spacers as my 14′ 550 doesn’t have the improvements the 700 got. Still super ticked about this!!!!

Are there any installation tips or things to look out for with these? I am super excited and hope they will help my back! Am I going to kick myself in the butt in a year for not getting the stage 3’s?

Throttle Overrun Problem

Afternoon Gents,

New user, first post and based in the UK

Got a 2010 Grizzly 550 and I love it!

Its been developing a problem and its getting worse, when you let off the throttle the engine keeps running like your on throttle for a few seconds. Its not too bad during normal use, but when I’m reversing to hook up the trailer its becoming a real issue.

Could any of you guys point me in the right direction as to what could be the cause.

I have checked the thumb throttle and its springing back to place fine as soon as you get off the throttle. Could it still be the cable?

Is there some sensor that could be causing these issues?
Its a little still changing the gear mode, I plan on adjusting it this weekend to rule that out (I have an owners manual) any tips on adjusting?

Cheers Guys

Sportsman 800 reverse bypass switch for sale?

All,
I am not really an electrical kind of guy and was hoping someone could point me in the direction of someone else or a company who makes a reverse override kit which would simply be plug and play? I have done some googling and found one site that sells them and contacted them. They stated they do not have any in stock and need to make more so no idea how long that will take. My sportsman is a 2012 800 efi. Pushing the yellow button drives me nuts. Thanks!
