Hey guys. New to the forum. Very informative although I haven’t found my answer just yet. My 3 year old quad was intermittently starting and " horning" when the key was on….now it’s totally dead, although good battery. Tried starter (works) (hot wired horn and it works) very weird. Seems like the key ignition isn’t working or something else. I’ve cleaned all contractors, put new starter relay…..cdi works too. There’s a little black box on the left front with 2 connectors going into it. One 4 wires. One 2. Could that box be fried? Seems odd that the horn doesn’t even work…..any ideas?
Bighorn 2.0’s
So I can get a good deal on some bighorn 2.0’s. Has anyone gotten these tires and if so what did y’all think? And I’m sure this is all in another post somewhere but what about 12" or 14" rims?

Moving on from Moab to Montana
Drove out to Moab, been riding 4 weeks, thinking I will move on to Montana, anyone give me any suggestions where to go riding? Have to be home by the day after thanksgiving. Thinking I will go to Saskatchewan goose and duck hunting then to North Dakota Pheasant hunting. If I run out of time I will just have to come back.
Throttle response in 1/4 to 1/2 throttle band
Experts,
I have recently rebuilt an 05 rubi. I had to replace the carb as the old one was too far gone. I bought an OEM carb (not China crap). It will cold start very easy with choke and will idle very smooth once warm. If you start giving throttle it starts getting sluggish. I have noticed the vacuum piston in the carb bouncing when the throttle is between 1/4 to 1/2. Once it gets above about 1/2 you can feel the bike response and will take off and run very good. While in the 1/4 to 1/2 you can add some choke to smooth it out.

So I am assuming it is starving for fuel when 1/4 to 1/2 assuming it is from the bouncing vacuum piston not keeping the jet open. Is this by design? What else can I do to get this to respond in all throttle ranges?
Thanks,
Mike

2011 Sportsman 500 HO front diff problems
I was riding the other day and got hung up on a log. As I was rocking back and forth on top of it I noticed the 4wd stopped working. I was able to get unstuck and noticed that I had lots of resistance when going forward wether it was in high or low gear. When it is in reverse it had no resistance, so I drove home in reverse. I put it up on a lift and found that I have no 4wd in forward gears, but in reverse it is stuck in 4wd, even when I’m not hitting the override button. I unplugged the front diff and tested it with a meter and had 11 volts when I switched it into 4wd. I then changed the front diff fluid with the demand drive plus oil and it still didn’t change anything. It almost seems like it is stuck, partially engaged in 4wd. When I push it forward in neutral, there is lots of resistance to the point where I cant push it anymore forwards. It sounds like a clinking noise coming from the rear, but I can’t pinpoint where exactly. Has anyone ever had this problem before? Any help would be great because I am lost on what to do next
