I hate lead acid!

Anyone replaced the stock battery yet? I removed my seats working on the radio setup and found the battery hold down had no paint left on it, the corrosion has taken care of it.

If you have replaced yours what did you use?

Dimmer Switch Warranty Replacement on 2014 Outlander 650

Hey all:

Just a curiosity really.
My well maintained and easily ridden 2014 Outlander with less than 3000 km on it had a warranty repair recently. The dimmer switch was faulty which required the replacement of the entire handlebar unit including the starter switch, DPS toggle, and kill switch.
It was replaced under my extended warranty without challenge or incident by my dealer.
The question is, Has there been other problems with this critical piece ?
Anyone else ?
-glad it was the lights and not the start button.
Why will the dealer not let you keep the old unit for parts ?
He said he had to return it to BuRP.

How often do you do something stupid on your bike?

Took a turn to fast on my recon and over she went. I like to fishtail, bald rear tires, did about a 180, seat was to slick to keep lean into the curve. I was able to hop off as she tipped, engine kept running, pushed it back over and away we went (love Hondas). Only damage was to the rider…nothing a few Advil won’t fix….not 18 anymore.

Wanted to try the poll option, thought this a good one to start with. So far I am about every third ride guilty of doing something I shouldn’t have….

400ex Boggs after 1/4 throttle

I have a 2005 400ex with white brothers full exhaust and air filter. With a 6sigma jet kit. 42 pilot 162 Main. Did the same thing with 155 main. Problem existed before and after jet kit. The carb is clean, no intake leaks, mixture screw is 2.5 turns out. It starts up and idles fine, when engine in under load of in gear, after 1/4 throttle, it bogs down and wants to die. I don’t know what else to try it’s driving me crazy! Help please any questions I will gladly answer.

Superwinch for 13 420 rancher ES

Looking for some help from someone who has a 13 rancher 42 ES.

I have 2 questions .

1) What size superwinch terra should I buy? Basically will be used for light plowing. I done ever see it used for much more. Maby some light work around the property.

2) what mount do I need?

Feel free to add any comments on my plan. Pros / cons?

Actualy I’ll toss this one in too. My rancher is 2 years. Old and still has the original oil in it. 51 miles. Manual says change it at 100. Normally I would change it because of the time, but does Honda use break in oil? If they do, I want to keep it in, if not I want to change it. Thoughts?
Thanks

Clutch Reinstall

So I got my new clutch carrier in. The clutch drum will fit over the carrier no problem without the bearing. With the bearing on I cannot get the drum on . I cant figure out the problem. It feels like it will not fit over the bearing. Everything looks to be in order. Any input would be greatly appreciated. 700 yamaha grizzly/

Grizzly atv lift/ramp ideas

Just did a service on my atv. Kind of sucked lying on the garage floor under the machine to change fluids and it was a fight to put back on the twisted skid plates (the worst part). I was thinking of making a drive up platform with openings to allow for fluid changes. I don’t mind being on the floor, but if I had more arm room to work it would make life better. Has anyone built one or seen one. Any ideas would be great.

15 XMR 800R Gear Reduction

Just wondering here did the XMR 800 for 2015 receive some type of gear reduction? At 25 MPH I’m seeing ~4000RPM on those big 30" silver backs. This surely is not geared like a regular 800XT? Just wondering what people’s opinions are?
