Looking for some advice in suspension for the front , not looking to lift but I heard that there is a HD kit for the front shocks does anyone have the part number for the 2016 sportsman 850
Also I seem to have a lot of play in the handle bars not because of the usual known sportsman issue but it seems to be when i turn the handle bars they turn a little bit before the tires actually start to turn
Hi everyone and Merry Christmas! Hope that doesn’t offend you… anyway….I have a 1999 trx 300fw that I purchased a few months ago. Everything ran great until I decided to replace the clutch cover gasket about a month ago. When I pulled the cover a few parts fell out such as the kickstarter gear and a few other things. Since then I’ve learned that putting the atv on its side makes it much easier to work on – for all the critics! Btw I’m not a mechanic nor do I have any significant training or experience.
Ok, long story short I’ve had the clutch cover on and off probably 6 times since I started the project. Every time except the last time I’ve had issues getting the kickstarter in correctly so I had to tear it down till I figured out how to correctly install it. Turns out I wasn’t locking the tab into the groove at around the 3 o clock position.
Here’s my problem now – everything has been put back together and for the first time the kickstarter seems to have the right feel when I kick it. However, instead of it turning the engine over, it actually rolls the atv backwards a few inches. Furthermore, when I try to shift gears using the foot clutch, it doesn’t want to shift up or down and doesn’t feel anything like it used to. It’s very stiff and doesn’t spring back into position.
I’m happy to give more details if anyone thinks they know what is going on. Any advice, pictures, diagrams, etc would be very much appreciated.
I do a lot of driving at night and often times when I back up I hold the break lever just enough to have the break light on so I can see. I have led lights laying around and decided to have a backing up light. Does anyone know a way to make a light come on only when in reverse.

I week ago I bought a 2006 predator 500. I ran it for about 3 hours then went to start it it started up fine but bogged out about 1 minute later. Tried to start it back up and would only start with choke on. After that I found out that the battery cables were loose. Long story short I had to buy a new battery thinking that would fix my problem. Bought a new battery poured the acid in and charged it up installed it now I can hear the starter turning fast like it should but the engine is not turning over. Yesterday it started for about a minute or two and I had to give it gas so it would not stall but as soon as I let off he gas it would die. Now the only thing happening when I press he start button is the starter turning but no signs of the engine turning over at all. Help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I have to replace my frame (broken at lower A-arm mounts). I can’t seem to find a 2007 frame right now — new or used. When they are available, used seems to be almost the same price as new. OEM sources say "backordered." I can find 2009 new and used. Two questions: 1 — Can I use a 2009 frame or other years? 2 — am i limited to the FM? I am getting conflicting information from parts/OEM dealers. Some say the part number is different for the 2007 (vs. 2009) so they aren’t at all the same. Some say everything should fit fine on a 2009 frame. I am concerned about believing a "should" when this is going to cost me $600 plus. If the difference is very minor, i have someone who can weld a bracket or something like that for me.
Just got a new 2015 honda foreman rubicon footshift. Wanting to get 27 in tires. Will my stock bike turn 27’s outlaws or back, skinnys? Also thought about 27 zillas. Ride about 50/50 mud or hills/trails. Thoughts?
