Im semi new to the forums and ive been thinking about replacing my old headlights for a led light bar to put in its place. I dont know if its to much trouble to do it or to just put it above. I mainly use this bike to haul alot of stuff to and from places so i need the most rack space.
I am looking at buying a 2010 sportsman 500ho. It has approx 5000 miles. What should I look for? Is this a good year model? It is priced at $2000. I have not rode yet because the shop is working on the brakes. I am not that familiar with ATV’s. This one looks like it has a lot of moving parts with the suspension and all that could wear out soon with this many miles.
Replacing a starter on a 2006 rancher 350 for a buddy. The original starter would work sometimes and other times it would just "click" until you hit it with a screw driver. Question is this new starter that he gave me seems to be a aftermarket one. It is very loud. IS that Normal or am I doing something wrong?
My sportsman just developed a squeal…. I’m thinking it’s a water pump bearing….. attached is a video with the squeal.
This just developed after I noticed that the reservoir was empty and some steam was starting to come out the top of the cap. I quickly shut it off when I heard the squealing. I toped off the reservoir and the coolant got sucked into the cooling lines. Than I topped it off again and the sound has gone down a little but it’s still there. I’m gonna let it cool and let the cooling system suck in that reservoir again and top it off and see what happens.
Any suggestions on what to look at or check would be great!
Btw I have ordere A shop service manual a few days ago so still waiting on its arrival.

I have a 2015 Honda Rubicon 4X4, IRS,PS,Diff Lock, all the bells and whistles.
Since I’ve bought it, its always had issues starting. While it was under warranty the dealer said, it was set up wrong and didn’t have oil on filter. Dealer put oil on filter and problem, never really went away. Now its off warranty and dealer said, it could be vaulves… I checked and they did appear off a little and I fixed that. Its still starts real hard. I mean it will turn over for about 5-15 seconds till if fires up. Almost like its, not getting fuel.
Anyone know of any issues or got advice on possible repairs I could make. Don’t trust dealers, so I do all repairs at home.
Hey all,
I’ve searched and found conflicting answers, i’m hoping someone can confirm for me. I’m looking for some HD springs to put on the front of my wheeler because my plow really brings it down. All shocks are already adjust to the max. I have the SP so i do NOT have the front struts. Can anyone tell me if these will work, or link a spring that will if these will not please?
I have a 2016 Grizzly and love it, it’s the first Grizzly I’ve owned but I’m super happy with my purchase. A friend of mine has caught the bug to join the Grizzly family but has limited funds. He is looking at a 2011 350. It had 300 miles on it, anything he should know about the model or things to look for when he goes and looks at it? I’ve researched it some but thought getting the wisdom of GC would be prudent before he bought it.
Installed a 12" LED light bar on my Grizz yesterday so I can see when snow plowing this winter. WOW literally night and day difference! The pic does not do it justice.
