Introduction

Hello my name is James B. I just bought my first four wheeler was looking to hold off for a side by side but opted to go for a big bear got a decent deal needs a little work primary just a rear differential replacement but looking at it now finding more things that need more attention. It is a 2011 IRS 400. Can’t wait to finally ride it.

Drive shaft yoke disassemble issue

Hello,

I just got an 2011 big bear 400 IRS. Im replacing the rear diff, I had to buy the whole case assembly. If you look at one of the exploded views it’s number 7 on the drive shaft figure. Now I’m trying to take the yoke off the old case but I am trying to only remove the locking nut. Does anyone know if just removing the nut will enable me to remove the rest or will I need to take both yokes apart to remove just that nut?

Sportsman 850 crankshaft timing gear slip

I am in the process or rebuilding my 2012 sportsman 850. The bike has a whopping 1100kms (550 miles) on it. The problem I had is the pressed on timing gear on the crank slipped and the pistons hit all 8 valves. I am replacing the pistons, rings, rods, wristpins, rod and crank bearings and all valves and guides.

Has anyone else had this happen to them? If so could you please comment on year of bike and mileage that this occurred?

Please only respond if you have had the issue of timing gear slippage

Thank you in advance

Winch Install?

I am installing a winch on my 2016 Rancher. I have the accessory sub harness installed from when I installed the 12 volt socket. My question is do I use a bullet connector (male) to plug into the harness? Also do I plug the rocker switch wire into the sub harness connection with one white wire or the connection with two wires (white and green)? Thanks for any help.

Hard start

i have a 2008 sportsman 500 ho efi X2 it starts hrd with the ignition but when i use the pull start it fires right up. people have told me the valves need lashing but it only has 250 hours on it. any ideas?

Key problem

Looking for a little advice.
My father gave me his 05 Phoenix 200 that has at most, 8 hours run time on it.
So, for the most part it’s new internally. It never cranked cold very well from the time he bought it, even after several trips to the Dealer. It has basically sat in his shed covered for the last few years and now it’s mine.
Problem 1, can’t find the key….. if I buy a key blank from EBay, is it possible to get it cut to fit the ignition switch?
Problem 2, where do I go from here once I get the ignition issue corrected?
I’m thinking clean entire fuel system and carb rebuild are in order, but before I go that route are thee any carb issues that you folks have encountered? Would I be ahead of the curve purchasing a New carb or even retrofitting one from a different model?
Any and all responses are welcomed and encouraged!!😀
