It seems the cable is stuck. I pulled out the split cable half to the carb and it is OK but the other half of the cable going to the oil pump seems stuck. There is a place where it has been rubbing and heat has got to it from the engine. Is this an easy repair to get the end out of the oil pump end? Thanks,Gary

Hey there,

it is probably a stupid question, but anyway: Where is the fuel pump located on a Sportsman 500 (2006)?

Thanks
Norbert

I have a bad thumb and thinking a twist grip may help. I already put thumb throttle extension on. Helps except hard right turns and long rides. Anyone have twist grip?

On a 2016 Honda Foreman with 2" snorkel from box out is the air box lid suppose to suck in when revving the engine

I’m missing one of the metal inserts with the grip teeth on it for the foot plate. Anyone have one they’ll part with??

Hey guys,

I’m in the middle of redoing my brake panel and rear diff of my TRX. While being there I figured why not change the bearings/seals from my swing arm.

I just ordered a 17mm allen bit with 1/2 drive but I’m still missing the pivot lock nut tool.

I’ve read that we can remove the swing arm using only the 17mm bit and a cheater bar? I’m still hesitant on this as it seems important to have the 40mm OD / 34mm ID 4-pin socket tool to get that nut off.

I found the socket on Amazon but it won’t ship to Canada … Also it was over 60$!! :icon_eek:

I tried looking at Canadian Tire’s inventory for a 40mm socket and try to create one of those tools on my own but I wouldn’t want to scrap the nut. Any ideas?

Just tore down this 01-04 Rubicon to put a new wiring harness on it. Rats had gnawed several of the wires and Powersportsnation had a used complete harness for $25 shipped, so I just replaced the harness.

Someone in the past had done some interesting mods to the machine, so I have a couple of loose ends to tie up before I’m done with it.

There is a hose coming out of the middle of the air box. The crankcase vent is hooked up, but I’m not sure where this other hose goes. It is in the pic between the crankcase vent line and the muffler.

There is also a wire coming out of the ES shifter. It isn’t hooked up to anything, so I’m not sure what it’s for. The machine shifted fine in auto mode before I tore into it, but I didn’t check ES mode, but since the wire wasn’t hooked up I wondered if this could have been some temporary fix for a problem that was later properly fixed. Any reason to have a wire spliced into the ES shifter buttons?
