What’s a good match for the gray paint on the A arms? Accidentally reminded myself yesterday how good carb cleaner is at stripping paint. 🙁
Video of noise from front shock. Please help
Attached is a YouTube video of the noise I am getting from my 14 Sportsman 400. In the video I am just pushing down on the front right hand side. Anyone have an idea of how to fix?

6+1 vs 4+2 offset help
So my new STI HD 3 ‘ s with 6+1 offset pushed my 900 Trail out to 53 inches with 14×9 Bighorns. If I went to a ITP 14+6 with 4+2 offset, would that get me back closer to 50 inches?
What Fluids should I buy for my 2008 Sportsman 500
I am picking my "new to me" 2008 Polaris Sportsman 500 EFI Browning Edition this weekend and want to do a fluid change on everything. I’m hoping I can get some direction on what fluids I can use instead of the Polaris ones as I don’t like paying a premium for this stuff. I’m looking for fluid suggestions for the following:
1) Front Gear Case
2) Engine Oil (I’m leaning towards Rotella T6)
3) Grease ( Leaning towards Lucas Red ‘N Tacky)
4) Transmission
5) Radiator
6) Am I missing anything?

2011 800s front end ticking
Seemed to have aquired a metal ticking noise in my front end. Thought it was my winch cable hook but no. Maybe front diff??
05 pred 500 engine question
Brand new to the forum. I’ve got a 05 pred 500 completely stock. Does anyone know a place or a website I can buy a new engine or a top end rebuild kit? I’ve searched and can’t find anything. Also any info that anyone’s done to theirs as far as a big bore kit etc and prices what not. Or what motors will swap into this with little to no mods. I’ve never tore into a 4 wheeler but I am an mechanic and have all the tools. Thanks in advance

Hey everyone,
My name is Calder Guthrie. I got the nickname Willy from my middle name and it’s stuck ever since. I’ve got a 2013 Honda Foreman 500 but I’m tired of it. It rides terrible and it’s not a smooth fourwheeler. I always find myself pretty sore after a day of riding. I’m trying to get dad back into fourwheelers so I’ll be giving it to him.
I am trading in my 2009 Grizzly 350 4×4 and buying a 2015 Polaris Sportsman 850 sp. I can’t wait to get a hold of one. I’ve ridden a few and I must say, it’s the best riding position I’ve encountered.
I won’t be doing much of anything to it. I’m hoping to find one that has the factory winch equipped. It will be getting full skid plates including A-Arms, exhaust, GPS and some lock and ride goodies.
Also, I figured I’d post up the truck in here. I’m a big off-road enthusiast and love all terrains besides mud. I take it out West to the desert several times a year and it is an excellent machine.
I look forward to communicating with everyone and learning about these quads. I’ve heard great reviews.
How/Where To Add Gear Case Oil?
I feel like an idiot for posting this (Because I know I did it before)…But why can’t I locate the plug on the trans case so I can ad some oil to it? It’s been dripping small amounts, (from vent tube) only after good long vigorous rides, and I suspect it could use a splash of oil
