Newbie from Georgia

I’ve got little older machine, an 06 x2, that I’ve had for about 6 years. I’m just getting into really riding. Everything is still stock , even has original tires. I’m about to change all of that. X2 is little harder to do. All suggestions and advice is much appreciated.

Voltmeter


Added a voltmeter to the Outlander today. I run a 40 gallon tow behind sprayer and wanted to keep an eye on the voltage as well as for my extra lighting. $5 eBay waterproof voltmeter. I soaked it with the hose for a while just to test its waterproof claim and it works great! Well worth the money!

Grizzly 450 Starter Solenoid

Well to add my current repair list my starter solenoid has quit working after doing the diagnostics.

Gee, Yamaha doesn’t give these away that’s for sure, and I’ve seen alot of bad reviews of the $8 Ebay Chinese versions.

Should I just dish out the $54 for an OEM one or is there a good source for an aftermarket one out there?

Broken winch switch

I was riding my atv a couple weekends ago and while I was riding my battery voltage alert came on the screen. I thought it was odd and thought that it might have been my hand warmers so I turned them off and it continued to drop. Come to find out my winch switch was broken and stuck in the "in" position. Has anyone had a problem with these? The dealer wants $100 for one!!! Seems outrageous for something I use mainly for my plow. Just seeing if im the only one with this problem.

86 TRX250 lower steering bearing

I picked up an 86 TRX250. just the standard one…not the 250R. Lower steering stem bearing is gone. Race cracked to pieces and its just gone. Part 50302-ha8-000 is the race. Part discontinued, and cant find anywhere.

So….looking for replacement suggestions, redneck engineering ideas, or something to make this still useable. Surely there is SOMETHING that can swap in? I didn’t think it would be too difficult…but perhaps I was mistaken.

any thoughts/help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
