I’m on the shore and just wanted to hear where everyone is riding. I was thinking about visiting AOAA for the first time. I’ve been told its an amazing place to ride, correct me if I’m wrong.

So, i recently bought a 2008 Foreman 500 4×4 ES, this week i changed the steering bearing, but now the circlip makes a clunking noise when turning, not all the time but frequently.
Could it be becuase the top dust seal is missing ?(the dealer forgot to put it in the package)
Or could it be that the bearing is not seated fully?

The circlip seems seated correct

So just noticed my front left outer cv boot on my 07 kodiak 450 has a tiny tear in it. Just wondering, when replacing that boot, do you have to replace the inner boot as well (since everything i have found about replacing it requires removal of the inner boot), unless Im misreading. Perhaps someone has some simple instructions I could follow (Im not doing this myself, but my brother is, who is a mechanic).

So I bought a used rene 800 and forgot to check the oil level. Have had it a week and now after a pretty quick run the engine starting making a clicking/knocking sound. Checked the oil and sure enough, it’s only half way up the dipstick (way below the minimum oil line) It starts fine and runs fine except for the noise. Don’t want to rev it too much or drive it till I get this figured out.

I disconnected the belt just to make sure it’s not a tranny or axle thing and the sound seems to be coming from behind the clutch cover. Doesn’t sound like a top end thing so I’m not sure.. Just looking for some advice/opinions before I have to lift out the engine and see whats up. Has 3000 miles on it..

have here a good used 4wd lock out for rancher 350 works as it should transition is smooth and bearings and seals are tight . it will need a new cable as u can see in the pics everything else is in good working order asking 250 $ shipped in the USA.

I think I might have water in the carburetor, not real sure but whenever I give it gas it is sluggish and then it responds and I can go. Sometimes I well sit pretty much stranded waiting bc when I give it gas it dies. Just wondering what it could be.

So my Honda ’87 TRX350 has that plugin on the handle bars and i was wondering what it is used for. its OEM and was wondering what i could power with it.

Changed pads on all 4 sides yesterday. Afterwards the rear were spongy. Some questions.

1) Can air get in the lines if I didn’t take any lines loose? I did take the calipers out of the rubber boots and grease them.

2) If I bleed them on the rear, can I just bleed from one side or do both sides have to be done?

3) Is the fill reservoir on the handlebars or is there also a separate one under the plastic for the rear?

I ran out of light but im going to check and make sure the inside pads aren’t hung up on the caliper this afternoon. Its a Grizzly 550.

I’m new to 4 wheelers with water system. After about fifteen minutes of riding it, which is kinda hard riding, the fan comes on and stays on. It has a over temp light. So far out hasn’t come on but not sure if that even works. But it hasn’t boiled over are anything. Even shut it off to listen. Didn’t hear anything boiling. Is this normal for the fan to stay on like this. Are do I have an issue. Haven’t run it longer than about forty five minutes. I’ve been worried about blowing the head gasket.
