Hey guys, I just ran a compression test on my 2005 Honda foreman TRX500 FM I just picked up, its reading 125 PSI, but in the repair manual it says it should be reading 64 PSI due to its camshaft having a ‘decompression device installed’. So I`am either double my compression, or I don’t have this decompression device, or its not working, any thoughts ? Is it even possible to be double your compression ? The bike runs good, but is running rich with carbon build up on plug and tail pipe, have to pull the carb soon for a good cleaning and check choke plunger

New to GC
Thanks for the add. New here and needing help with 04 Grizzly 660 4×4. I have seen a lot of great advice on here just looking through the forum. Unfortunately have not come across one that helped me with my situation. Hoping someone out there can give me some pointers. The bike is stuck in 4×4 differential lock and refuses to come out. was told it was the servo motor so bought a new one and put it in. Still nothing. Bike still stuck in diff lock. Anybody have any suggestions? I am not a mechanic so please no negative comments. Thanks in advance!

2015 Sportsman 850 Grease Points
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knew of how many grease points are on the 2015 Sportsman 850. Sorry for the newbie question, I am just struggling to find them.
Thanks,
Phil
Broken winch unknown spring part
I have a 2007 sportsman 500 with the dump body. It came with a Polaris labeled 2500 winch. One day the winch would not turn. There was power to the electric motor but the barrel was not spinning. After taking it apart I found that there was a gear that was in the electric motor side that spins the barrel that had two of its posts broken off. It was also a Silver dollar sized spring that was also snapped. I have checked with the local dealer and with Polaris and no one can tell me what the spring does or show me how to purchase a replacement. I ordered a new gear and put it back together and it seems to be working fine. I have searched many part listings and part diagrams and have been in contact with Polaris and no one can seem to tell me what this function of the spring is or how to buy a new one. Has anyone had to deal with this issue? Enclosed are some photos of the spring. Again it appears that the winch is working fine and it will retract and come out and also free spools. There was also no part numbers on this winch at all and I believe it was a foreign made wench that had a Polaris sticker put on it.

Hey guys, new to grizzly central and needing some help. My husband and I have resurrected our grizzly from the dead lol. we bought it used and have been working on it as time and money have allowed. Long story short… we bought a new servo motor and just installed it and NOTHING is happening. The bike is stuck in differential lock. we are trying to trouble shoot but not having much luck. Anybody ever have this problem or have any suggestions? Would like to find electrical diagram if possible. Any help is greatly appreciated.
