New member here Elsnappy is the name

New to this forum, not new to forums though, formerly a 250r owner and a 450r owner, just traded the 450r for my newest toy, 2016 Polaris 1k highlifter. So basically I’m new to the Polaris brand and I never thought I’d own a 4×4. If there is anything I may need to upgrade right away, please let me know, I’m all about upgrading to near bulletproof. Thank you in advance and I hope this forum is just as good as the other two I’ve been in.

2010 850xp- motor toast sell or try rebuild ?

So my 2010 850xp EPS which has around 4500 miles has been burning oil, like a quart or less about evry tank of gas. I took it into a shop and had them do a leak down and compression test and one cylinder is registering 145lbs while the other is 130lbs. So do I tear out the engine and try to rebuild myself with new rings and seals or jut sell it ? The mechanic said it doesn;t pay to have it rebuilt as that would run 4500 with shipping. there is a guy back in MN who rebuilds these motors but it is expensive, thus the 4500 price qoute.

Overall everything else is in pretty good shape.

What would you do ? Sell it ? Trade it in ? Rebuild the motor as best you can ?

Thanks in advance for your recommendations.

P.S. I am pretty mechanically inclined but never worked on a 4 stroke motor, usually just 2 stroke dirt bikes…

I just picked up a 2007 grizzly 700, I also just purchased a power steering kit off a parted out 07 grizzly 700, the kit has the steering stem, complete wire harness, everything needed…I think. my question is will I also need the guage pod to make it work?? also I heard the ecu’s are the same and im hoping that’s true. I did use the search function on here and only 1 thing popped up from years back. thanks for any help and info!!

New to me 03 350 Rancher project

Hey everyone I just joined to forums, just bought my first Honda bike about a week ago and love my quad! 03 rancher 350 4x4es. Does the job for me lol . Anyways, when I bought it (second hand 13 000km) it was pretty much pink . Faded that bad from the sun. I ended up re painting it afterwards and ended up how it is now. I was wondering about a mid range rpm problem I recently encountered , when I’m in gear about mid range rpm, sometimes there’s a buzzing sound coming from the handle bar area or right underneath it. That area somewhere. I can’t figure out what it is , if someone can relate can you help me please? Loving my Honda she can go places I’m impressed lol:)
