I took the (focussing) lenses out of my LED light bar and . . .

I took my 12" light bar apart and removed the plastic (flood and focused) lenses, then put it back together and tested it.

As you can imagine, the light did not shine as far, but it lit up my backyard like daylight. The light from the bar was totally flooded in all directions. In a funny way, it seemed brighter.

In my opinion, it was kind of desirable. Anyone coming at me would definitely be blinded though.

fuel pump cutting out. Could it be battery?

Hello all
I have an 08 outlander 500 and it was stalling after about 30 minutes of riding. I posted in the form before and everyone was pointing at the fuel pump. I haven’t been out this year yet and when I went to start it up the battery was dead. I boosted it and got it running. Went for about a 10 minute drive. Pulled it in the shop shut it off, put my fuel pressure gauge on it and flipped on the key. Had 40 psi. But it wouldn’t turn over. Boosted it again, got it running and had 51 psi. Would the problems before be caused by a bad battery?
Also have a leaky water pump. Going to tackle that next.
Thanks

Wisconsin dealer

Hey guys just got back from an Iron county WI. ride, and having problems with the Grizzly. About 4 miles from where we parked the machine started feeling sluggish. I stopped, and put it in natural. Got behind it, and tried to push it. The rear tires would drag then roll a little and then drag again. Some thing was locking up. Got it back on the trailer and couldn’t get it out of high gear. It’s a 2015 700 eps. Now only having 65 miles (60 were put on on this ride). Just bought it new this past January. So does any Wisconites in the dodge county recommend a dealer that I can take it to. This is my first Yamaha. Hopefully what ever is wrong is covered by the warrenty. Oh do you think after market tires (kenda bear claws Htr factory size) and ITP 5s will void my warrenty? Thanks Joe.

2002 Sportsman 700 12v Aux Outlet

The 12v auxiliary outlet on the left side of my headlight doesn’t work. I attempted to reference the wiring diagram and that didn’t help me out much at all. I was wondering if these are known to just quit working over the years due to the elements or if there is possibly a fuse or some other simple solution that may have caused it to quit working. Any help that can be offered is appreciated. Thanks!
