Hey guys. Restored a 1988 TRX300 and all has been well for 2 years since until now. The thing suddenly won’t turn over. Changed spark plugs, been adding seafoam to new tanks of gas, charged battery. But still struggles like it’s about to start but never does. I’m not very mechanically inclined. The restoration I did was all body related, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I live in MN and have tried riding the trails when there is snow and ice and it has not really been that fun because I cannot get much traction and many times I am just spinning my wheels and running the machine at much higher rpms. I have decent tires Bighorn 20s, my question is would rear chains help much? And could they hurt anything?
I hate sitting the entire winter out but I sold my snowmobile years ago because I could not use very much because of the lack of snow.
Sorry for the long post, if you have any experience please let me know!
Thx.

2001 sportsman 500 ATV. Replacing steering column and cannot remove bottom nut off column. Is this a reverse threaded nut?

Let me start by saying that I have zero interest in a big bore twin myself. So I come at this only from a general interest in powersports technologies and engineering. Skip to the bottom paragraph if you want to jump to my idea.

I’ve heard it said many times before that Yamaha won’t come out with a big bore twin in the Grizzly because the wet clutch would not be able to handle that much power. Some may argue against that theory, but let’s just assume it is true, because Yamaha hasn’t gone down the path of putting their ultramatic in anything bigger than a 708 single. And could you imagine the hayday their competitors would have if yamaha put a more standard snowmobile style cvt in a new big bore atv? After all of Yamaha’s promotion of the ultramatic, it would be a marketing nightmare.

So anyway, here is my idea…

Yamaha already has the clutch technology to use the ultramatic in a 1000cc twin. They could replace the existing Grizzly centrifugal wet clutch with the multi-plate clutch that is automatically controlled by computer from the YXZ SS. Then they’d still be able to have the constant belt tension and true engine breaking you get with the ultramatic, but no centrifugal clutch to slip.

The front shocks are blown on my 15 800xmr, not suprising. They sucked to begin with. But i got 2 years riding outa them so its whatever. Definetly not enough shock for this machines weight. Anyhow. I need to replace them. Cant afford elkas, wish i could but house comes first.

Any suggestions?

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and prosperous new year

Heelo there, It is now almost two months since i picked up my 2017 850 XT-P tripple black.

500 kilometres so far and I am still amazed..i had 2007 800 Max Ltd before and the difference is huge.

Unfortunatelly no snow here in Slovakia at the moment, but cannot wait to test it in heavy snow.

I’ve read all threads related with the Phoenix on this site and the whole damn internet. I would say its 50/50 of people saying its crap and the other half saying its a great bike.

My plan is buying this bike for my 6 years old son, I know its going to be a little big for him at the beginning but still think It’s better to get a bike where he can grow up for some years. And considering the throttle can be limited I’m confident about having the chance to teach them how to ride safely without any problem.

I’ll post some pics as long as I get the bike.

Hope this guys at Polaris finally did your homework by fixing some of the problems listed here since 2005.
