in line fuel filter 400ex

GUys, should I be putting an in line fuel filter on my 2000 400ex? It’s time to replace all the fuel lines, should I just buy some 1/4 inch fuel hose and add a fuel filter? What is everyone else doing? If your adding a filter, where are you locating it? Are you zip tying the filter to the frame, or letting it float? Thanks in advance for your answers.

Front tie rod clearance question

I just bought a used 08 650xt.

It had the stock tires all the way around. 26x8x12 in the front.

I bought and mounted big horn 2.0s at 1 inch wider 26x9x12 and now the tie rods are really close to touching. They aren’t touching but they’re about a quarter inch from the tires…

Is that enough space? It just has me a little worried and I saw a pair of wheel spacers is $70 :th_smiliefrustrated .

Will I be ok or should I try spacers or washers or something? Thanks men!

bad base gasket..

I talked my new 570 up to all my buddies and haven’t had any of the "normal" issues these have had until today I noticed a plate sized puddle of oil under my atv. It’s leaking from the base gasket just below the start of the header. It’s not so much a 570 design flaw as it is a quality control issue with Polaris. I assume they didn’t torque it properly and that’s the issue, mass production problems I guess. Hopefully that’s covered under warranty, I have a good dealership and I personally know most of the mechanics there so i know it’ll be done right.

New bike

Hey all, well I just before Easter I decided to trade in my 2012 Honda Rincon for a ’15 Outlander 650 XT Pearl White. A friends has the same bike, it is way faster, more stable, better suspension etc. I was hesitant at first since the Honda was/is reliability, but it was slow, and the suspension sucked, and the 3 spd tranny was always looking for a gear.

Either way I’m pumped.
