Power commander backwards compatible?

I inquired to Power commander about the new power commander with timing control for my 09 renegade. This was the email I received I response.
Any truth or input on this?
"The new Power Commander you are talking about with timing control (PN: 25-027) is listed only for 2012-2015 Renegade 800. I havent ever tested it on a 2009 model and we certainly dont officially list or support it for a 2009 model; but I have a feeling that it might work fine.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

New from Seattle

Hello, This is my first time ever in an online forum. I hope I don’t step on anyone’s toes. I just bought a 2005 ATP 500 with 1500 miles on it. I want to take it to a reputable repair shop in the Seattle area for routine maintenance. I know finding a good shop can be tough. Any recommendation would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

This is my first time participating in an online forum. I hope I don’t step on anyone’s toes. A couple of years ago I bought a hunting buddy’s 2005 ATP 500 HO. I don’t know much about atv’s and want to take this one to a reputable repair shop for routine maintenance. "

Hello….

Hi Guys, just a quick hello, names John, from Essex, (East of London for non uk residents) just bought a Honda Big Red 300 2wd Quad. Will be picking your brains soon no doubt…..:smile:

Need help trouble shooting

When I start my 2005 sportsman 500 the rpms do not work they stay at 0, when you put it gear and start driving it will begin working when you get to about 30-45 mph. If the rpms aren’t working for a while the battery light will begin blinking. If you go to use the winch the winch will just click. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. Already replaced the ECM under warranty and it has a brand new battery and CDI.

Best quad or side X side for 400lbs guy

I have never owned a quad and I am finally in the market to buy one. But my biggest problem is that I am over 400LBS. So I need to know if there is a quad out there for me. Also would be interested in a Side X side. My wife weighs 150 lbs. So balance can be a issue on a Side X side.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Need trouble shooting help

2002 sportsman 700 twin.
I put a new battery in it and when I turn the key to the on position the odometer lights up and the display comes on, but when I turn the key to start the display goes black and nothing happens. No start no nothing. Turn the key back to on and the display lights back up. Any suggestions?

trailer wheel help??”s

OK guys, I am I guess looking for opinions/idea’s

I have a snowmobile trailer has a brand new axle under it, a direct stock OEM replacement axle
BUT the stock set up has some super tight tire clearance
NO idea why they made it this way, but??
I went to install new tire wheels today and new tires(metric version of 18.5×8.50×8) 215/60-8’s
and there about a 1/2 inch wider and now if I snug lug nuts up, they lock up against the axles bearing arms
got a great deal on tire wheels, as the older 18.5×8.50×8’s are harder to find now, so, this is a better tire as well for traveling!

I have a 4 on 4 lug pattern, a 2.80 center hole needed and a MAX OD of 6 inches, if I went the spacer route
BUT cannot seem to find any spacers of this size??
would need one I guess about a 1/2 inch thick too, as studs stick out a good 1.5 inches, so have lots to work with

SO< that brings me to question, would anyone have any reason I couldn’;t just stick a few washers behind the wheel
I know I wouldn’t get a flush fit to the hub face as with NOT using them

MY worries would be them NOT allowing the wheel to get tight as in walking loose from vibrations or??

SO< any suggestions??
or know of anyplace I an get spacers this size
Studs are 1/2 Dia too!

here is a pic of the STOCK tires and there SMALL clearance??
