My 1987 Honda 350D, when it runs, runs like a champ. I know my issue is electrical. I replaced the ignition coil, spark plug, rebuilt the carbs, cleaned the petcock, replaced fuel pump, replaced several fuel lines and I may be forgetting something.
Some days, she starts up and runs like a champ. This is an either/or situation. On or off.
Other days, she turns over but acts like there’s no combustion going on. When this happens, I get no spark on the plug.
I have a 2002 660 and was riding it the other day and had to use 4wd. When i pushed the button to get out of 4wd the differential light came on and when i pushed the 4wd and then the diff button the light would not go off. Today i turned the switch on but not start the light s still on. I can push the buttons and hear a click. What can i do and can i still use it? thanks
I know this has been reviewed like crazy, but I couldn’t find an answer that didn’t get really technical.
I’ve got a 2015 800 Renegade with 28 OL2’s, and it just doesn’t bring the front end up as much as I’d like. Everything is stock except for a snorkel kit, I’d like to change out some clutch springs for some more snap at take-off. I’m not worried about top end, I hardly ever ride past 50mph. But I do love to trail ride to mud with thick mud being about 10% of what I ride.
I see a number of picture where owners are pulling up the front to access the bottom of the machine to service , like washing. I like the idea. The older i get, it get harder to get down on the floor and roll around. My question is there any issues with the fluids in the machine being at those angles ? Talked a mech at a dealer and he said he stands his on end all the time . I can see maybe not quite a 90 degree angle like Pohlhammer posted a pick. What do you all think? Any issues arise from doing this ? I know saftey first:gcrules::gcrules:
Hi guys i am new and have never owned a can am machine before but was thinking of buying a 2017 xmr 1000 cuz it looks Crazy. but what im most scared of is the belt life i have askes around and ppl are telling me that i only get 1k to 2k on a stock belt and clutch is this true. I would think that if its a mud machine why didnt the company put a clutch cvt upgrade i need honest help becuse i live in lebanon and it costs 22k here. Ps. I own a grizz 700 and u know how tough those are. I will not use my xmr in mud only trial anf hunting and pavement.
Bought another one the other day, a one owner from new TRX300FW. In very tidy condition apart from one rip in the seat cover. Low hours and well maintained.
It’s still down at my son’s as he’s closer to the seller so collected it for me, he’s quite impressed with it.
This will go nicely with the others, one of which is a wreck and the other needs finishing (but another very tidy one)
Just wish I’d never sold the 350D, they’re getting very expensive now over here. I’ll keep my eyes open though as would like another.
After reading the GPS that’s Water Proof thread, multiple times, I sprung for the Garmin Montana 680 unit. I also purchased the Garmin Montana 6xx AMPS Rugged Mount with Audio Power Cable and a Ram mounting system. All recommended highly within that same very helpful, educational thread.
My questions are about the wire connection located under the right fender of my 2010 Honda Rancher. This was brought up in the same thread I mentioned above. I did find it and would like to hook up to that wire.
1. Is the wire live at all times or just when the key is on or engine is running?
2. Can I buy a connector with a pigtail attached to fit that connector and where? Preferably online.
3. What would that specific type of connector be called so that I could search for one?
4. Or, would I be better off just cutting off the end and installing a couple spade type connectors?
5. What is the trick to removing that connector (At the plug end) from the plastic wall it is attached to? Without breaking anything. :blink:
Thanks for any input on this. Much appreciated. Mike
I purchased my 570sp about 6 weeks ago. I’ve taken it out a few times on the trails. This thing is AWESOME. So far, I haven’t had any heat issues. Outside of a few times it has stalled (usually when I’m just starting out, and riding it hard in the first couple of minutes. It starts back up, and doesn’t do it again until the next time it’s cold), it has been problem free.
I live about a mile from a 3 mile pond, and can get to it by a camp road this winter. My question is… how good are these things stock in snow? What can I expect for traction? I live in Coastal Maine… so it’s not as bad as living in the County (we can get about 6-10 inches in a storm here).
Are there tires that would be better than stock specifically for snow?
Would tracks be worth it?
Would I be better off just getting a sled?
Thank you for your help… this noob appreciates it :slaphappy:
