When I saw the dust on the intake, and saw that the donut was dry, I assumed that dust either got past the donut, which is not pushed up against the airbox very well, or got through the donut which was not lubed.
But looking at this photo again, I see some dust on the air filter holder, between the screen and the donut. It seems to me that any dust that came in through or past the donut would have then proceeded on into the engine, and therefore would NOT have gone against the air flow and settled on the inside of the holder.
Therefore I wonder if the stock filter, with the stock lube on it, wasn’t sealed up against the holder or didn’t stop the dust from coming through it.
In all of my rides since then, I have been in front and so there has not been any opportunity to find out if it is still letting dust in.
I’m new to the forum hope this is the right place to post this. I kept having problems with my float sticking and other carb issues so I broke down and bought a new carb and went ahead and adjusted my valves and put a new plug but now it will crank perfect and idle perfect but as soon as I touch the throttle it dies out. Now I’ve tried adjusting the air/fuel screw but still the same thing. Any ideas?
Hi, I’m replacing the stock tires and wheels on my 1993 Fourtrax trx300fw 4×4
The stock tires and wheels are:
Front: 23x8x11
Rear: 24x10x11
I found a used set of tires and wheels off a 2013 Honda Foreman 500
Front: 25x8x12
Rear: 25x10x12
I don’t want to do anything to harm the machine. Should I stay with the stock size? Is this replacement size ok to change the sizes? Is the bolt pattern the same?
There are two 12v posts under the front cover that I had used for my winch setup. Seems like a good place to add my battery charger harness, rather than directly to the battery.
Just bought a 2016 sportsman 570 and pick it up Friday. Looking forward to some great information and ideas from y’all! I’m sure there are some "must haves" that I will need to get for it first lol

Hi all, new to the forum here, looks like a good crowd. I tried the search function, but didnt quite find what I am looking for. Hoping maybe you can help me…
I am looking to buy a new grizzly and am wondering if any owners of these 2 models can chime in and let me know how their machines have been after putting them through the paces. I am intrigued by the 2015 since it was the last of its generation and seems they should have worked out the kinks from the previous models. The 2016 intrigues me because it is supposed to have a plush ride, slightly wider stance and a slight boost in overall power.
I’m not looking to put this machine through the mud or take it swimming. More of a hunting/fishing/back country camping rig, I’m looking for a machine to get me there and back every time.
I saw the new tough rack for the front and rear, but unfortunately my front lid broke a long time ago and broke so easily that I probably won’t buy a new one. So I need to mount a new rack up there, has anyone seen or done this? I realize I will have to make this.

Between a new baby and house over the last year, my poor 07 700 has sat in the shop for about 6 months. When I parked the machine it ran totally fine and now it makes a loud metal tapping noise that gets quicker as RPM’s increase and match RPM’s when they decrease. I have tried letting it run for 10 minutes both idling and reving the piss out of it with no change. I have started it 5-6 times over the last couple weeks and two of those times the machine would try to turn over, but it stops as if there is too much pressure for the machine to continue turning over. Release starter button and push it again and it’ll crank and fire like normal.
Battery is new this year and on a tender. It does not make the clicking noise or throw any codes when it fails to crank/turn over.
No smoke out exhaust, except when it’s nearing redline when I mash the throttle which I think is normal for sitting for so long.
Sounds to me like it’s coming from the bottom end so I removed the clutch cover and it’s definitely not clutch noise. Something in the motor.
Could it just be bad gas?
Oil level is fine, but could it degrade and cause the noise?
Guy at work says maybe a stuck valve/lifter from sitting?
Mice chew a wire somewhere?
