I was just checking if I have oil for my ATV (Foreman 400), and I find that I am confused by the various suffix’s on the 10W-40 Honda and other four stoke oil containers that I have. I find that I have the following suffix’s:
SJ
SG/SF/SJ
SF/SG
AP/SG/CC
I have Honda 10W-40, Four Stoke, SJ in the machine currently. I have a lot of oil, but I’m not sure I should mix even if they are all one brand with different suffix’s.
Can I mix any of these oils without doing any harm?
Hello.. So let me begin by telling you what I have done with the wheeler.. its a 2002 polaris sportsman 500 AWD.. I am doing repairs on it for a gentleman.. when I got it the pick up was bad and it was out of time.. I bought a whole new stater/pick up unit for it and put it in.. ohm’d everything out and it has passed.. reset timing by the book to where it is supposed to be.. put everything back together and made sure it had power.. now it has good spark.. good compression.. and seems to be getting fuel.. but when I turn it over I get nothing.. not a backfire.. not any type of sign showing it wants to start.. I removed the carb.. checked the valves for movement.. checked the lash.. everything seems to be on.. I spray starter fluid in the carb intake with the carb off and it flames up in the intake.. almost as if the firing is to soon.. but it doesnt act like it is backfiring out carb.. it just flames up.. I rechecked the timing and its on.. any ideas what this might be???
Hey Gang…newbie here. Our 2016 HD10 DPS will be arriving in 2-3 weeks. It is gonna get used mostly on road around the ‘hood. I need to get some mirrors a top and a cover and don’t want to pay the HIGH prices I have seen for this stuff. Any recommendations you guys might give about where and what to buy will be really appreciated….Thanks!
I have a 2016 570 sp. Stock 26×14 on it now. I want to upgrade to an aggressive tire. What’s the biggest size I can go without mods? And what is a good trail/mud tire yall run? Was thinking outlaw mst or black momba lites? Any luck with mega mayhem? And ideas or reviews would be appreciated

This bike will be used at 8000 to 10000 ft. Mostly at 9000 ft. to plow a driveway.
I would appreciate some help finding the correct carb jets so I can re-jet it.
I have searched on line but would like some input on jet size.
Really hope someone can give me some advise on this issue.
My DS650 got a bit of rain for 2 days and was also travelling with it on a trailer during a thunderstorm for a few hours, got it real wet.
After about a month when i wanted to run it a little the red light stayed on after starting. I did the following so far:
– Checked oil levels which is fine
– Checked water levels fine
– Removed oil filter and cranked starter which let oil out meaning pump works
– Checked oil container and oil clearly pumps
– I then removed and replaced the oil pressure switch which seem to be problem if it gets wet.
This is where the problem starts. Now if i turn key for electronics to come on the light goes on red normally, but when i start the bike the red light goes to very dim light. I have to cup my hands in order to see it, but it is still on, even though dim.
I’ve tried to check the wiring at the dash, and cleaned them out made no difference.
Does anybody have an idea to help me with this?
One last thing that i might mention is that the new pressure switch i put in, looks slightly different than the one the bike came with as i cannot find an exact part in South Africa, but it’s the same thread and bar than the bombardier one (0.30 bar)
