2012 trx250x oil filter, do they exist??

Ive looked everywhere, motorcycle superstore, rocky mtn atv, amazon, none of them list an oil filter for this very popular quad. I even talked with K&N, they say they probably have one that fits but ‘have never tested on this quad’ so they dont know!! Why cant I find a freikin oil filter for this thing?? it looks like the same engine since they came out in 2001, I assume its the same filter??

2016 570 EPS hard to shift

Is anybody having a hard time shifting into/out of gear? One of mine is tough to shift. I have to rock it and bounce it sometimes to get it to move. I took it to the dealer and they said it was similar to how the 570 shifts, and couldn’t find anything wrong with it. As it goes, it did shift easier the day I took it to the dealer.
It only has 20 hours on it, but it hasn’t gotten any better in those 20 hours. This is parked on flat ground, usually getting out of gear, but sometimes tough to get into gear.
Thanks.

Iron Baltic skids

For those that have purchased the plastic skid sets can you give me an estimate on any additional charges you were charged (tariffs, taxes, etc.) when they arrived in the states. Were they charged on delivery, did you get a bill later, etc.? Once purchased a large automotive part (independent rear suspension) from England and got tagged about 15 months later with a tax bill from my state tax office and was trying to estimate up front what ordering from eastern Europe might entail. Thanks,

87 Four trac 350 Overload Springs

I have mounted a Swisher front end loader and my front shocks which are probably wore out wont support the frontend if I take a big scoop or even load 120# of mortor mix (4 bags). The front end drops enough so that I cant dump the bucket.

Is there such a thing as overload springs or shocks I could use to keep the front end up?

I have an unlimited supply of creek gravel Id like to recover but as is there isnt enough beef to support the weight

“OPINION WANTED”

I’m looking at getting some tires. My riding style is mainly trail slight mud and rocky, lots of dead leaves, soft ground, rooted and rutted out STEEP hill climbs. Now that you all know where I ride. I now need opinions on tires…………..

1) EFX Motoclaw in 26x9r12 and 26x11r12
2) Pitbull growler Xor in similar size as above
or
3) ITP Terra crosses also 26"ers

I also plan on either shimming the drive clutch or a machined sheave……………..just weighing out pros and cons.
