01 scrambler 500 4×4

Having issues with wiring , I have a 04 500ho that’s wrecked and was wanting to change all the electrical from the 04 to the 01 . Everything mounts the same but the ID of the flywheel on the 04 is a quater inch smaller . I need to know if the flywheel is balanced to that particular engine or can they be swapped ? Any help or input is greatly appreciated.

Getting ready for Snow Plowing

Hej everyone!

I have a new 570 Touring and am just loving it!
Curious if anyone out there uses their ATV to plow snow?
Do you plow for houses in your area? What do you charge them, if anything?

Other than the obvious plow, is there anything else I should consider getting before the winter season arrives?

Are hand warmers a must?
Snow chains?
Do you wear a helmet when plowing?
Extra lights?

I’ll be using my 570 to plow our driveway and then drag a sand spreader behind to sand the really steep hill that leads up to the house.

Kimpex led bar

Hello everyone, picked up a 7" led light bar double row offered by Kimpex, it seems very well built with cree lighting, wiring harness with lighted on/off switch also included and mounting kit, all for around $160 out the door, I could of went bigger but this light should light up the trail very well without sun burning other wheelers coming at you plus I have factory leds as well, have not heard if anyone else are running kimpex led lights or reviews on the forum, I will have it installed in a day or two, thanks :icon_ goofy:

New guy from Alabama

Hey everybody, new guy from new market Alabama, outside of Huntsville. I’m in the agriculture business. Drive a 6.6 duramax. Have a 2006 Honda rancher I just bought, a 900 RZR, and a old 1997 Honda fourtrax. I lost them all because, well, I’ll probably end up asking questions about it all, not an idiot, just get confused easy. There’s a reason I work with crops!!! Lmao.

Just bought the rancher, brought it home, threw some 27s on it. It’s basic. 4wd foot shift. No digital dash. Added a warm 3500 winch and a moose back seat along with a speaker tube and a 24" light bar (big, I know, but went up a couple sizes on the RZR and had it left over) Now to replace the carb!!! New one on the way should be here Friday. I hate rebuilding carbs, just opted for a new one.

The 300 started life as my dads, I bought it a few years later at the righteous age of 15. I ran it. Destroyed it. Sunk it. Even ran it off in the river. Pulled it out of the barn, broke out the MIG, had a gear reduction, build new rear and front, brute force diffs, and it sits extremely wide (wider than my truck bed, has to be trailered). 30s going on it when I get it back together. Had to swap frames after destroying the current one.

Duramax has 35s. Pretty stock besides that. But I’m a dreamer and may sneak a couple q’s in the off topic forum.

RZR is on 31s (technically owned by my fathers timber company, but sits in my garage :yeahbaby01: light bars. Winch. Sound system.

Anyway, I ride all over. I’m an avid hunter and mainly use the RZR, but now using the rancher for that. I like to hit Stoney lonesome, brimstone, wheelin in the country, and a few other parks. If it’s less than 6 hours from my door, you’ll catch me there, probably drinking bud light and stuck (PULL ME OUT DAMN IT!!!)

Anyway. Been lurking for a minute. Decided I’d join the fun!

’10 Sportsman 550 2x

Well, I seen a ’10 Polaris Sportsman 550 2x come up for auction. Price was staying low so I thought I would throw a bid in . Picked it up for $2,900. But, it is about 7 1/2 hours away. It does have about 5000 miles and 680 hours, but it is pretty clean. Thought the wife needed a better ride than the ’96 Xplorer 300. Don’t get me wrong, the Xplorer will go about anywhere you ask, but the ride on my ’10 800 is sooooo much smoother. Older couple traded in to an Arctic Kitty dealer. So, the in-laws are going to make a little trip and pick it up for us. SO, I never bought anything sight unseen, but the contact said it was one of the cleanest machines they had traded. 2x will come in handy for future rug rats and the box will be nice around the farm. Hope I didn’t over spend. It has Polaris 3500 lb winch and heated grips.

TRX420 ES Trouble

Hello all! New here and just bought my first ATV a couple weeks ago (pumped!). Been having some trouble though and hoping you all can help:) Got a great deal on a 2010 TRX420 with ESP and less than 150 miles! Had stalling problems that were related to old gas and took care of that. Unfortunately now that we seemed to be doing fine, I was riding and my rear wheels locked up (thank God nobody was hurt). Now I can only drive in 1st and NEUTRAL but the rear wheels lock in any other gear. Reverse does not work either. I’m thinking I should replace the angle sensor? Maybe take Kentco’s "lube the gears" advice? Please advise!!!
