So I purchased an 01′ grizzly 600($1000) that ran great and from what I could initially tell was in decent shape for its age besides the bad swing arm bearings and some cosmetics.
Little did I know how rough of shape the frame was in until I pulled the swing arm and plastics off. Out of the 6 engine mounts only 2 are still attached to the frame :0 The bottom front mount and the top head mount are the only ones still secured. Someone somewhere already welded this frame to shit and welded it all out of wack. So my buddy and I have done some grinding and cutting, and have prepped the welder.
Here’s the deal, I need some stock frame measurements before we weld this sucker back together. Measurements between the frame where the swing arm bolts in, and where the upper and lower rear mounts are so I can make this a proper four wheeler frame again. Ill post some pics of the mess shortly, thanks!
This is my first time on a forum so please bear with me. I am confused as to what fluid to use on the rear gear case of my 2013 Polaris Rzr 800s. I sent for a Polaris Maintenance kit and got Angle Drive fluid instead of the Polaris Premium ADF fluid as my manual states. Is this Angle Drive fluid what I should be using in the rear gear case? Thanks.
Put a new one way in my 07 700, and it seems to be bad, once installed cant spin the shaft either way without the engine turning over. Also very hard to get the clutch housing on over the new one way, compared to the old one. This is an oem replacement. Is there any visual clues to look for. Put the old one back on and shaft will spin easily one way and lock up the other like its supposed to, but does feel a little rough, as compared to spinning the shaft without any one way in place. The clutch housing also goes back on the old one much easier. Is getting another new one my next step?
Thanks
Okay so last sunday (April 24, 2016) I have been painting it because I haven’t had a battery until wednesday. I finally got it out and rode it yesterday. I was driving and accidentally shifted into neutral while going to second, then floated it to second and then third and it sounded like the chain falling off (metal bouncing around sound) and my motor shut off and tires locked up bringing me to a stop. Now my starter wont even turn over. Can you guys give me any ideas on what this could be? I believe that something just binded up in the gearbox causing it to lock up.
About 1 in 20 times I visit this site on my phone I get this stupid pop up that completely locks up my browser unless I actually click ‘OK’. I can’t close it or swipe it away, and rebooting the phone doesn’t get rid of it either. And it doesn’t happen on any other site I visit.
For obvious reasons I am very leary of clicking OK, but in order to get my phone back I must.
If this is a bug in the coding then I thought I would alert you this is happening.
However- If the is the "powers that be’s" version of making a dime then you can be sure I will never visit this site again.
I have a 99 recon 250 I just got it, and has no spark. I look forward to making new friends. I don’t know much about Hondas but I know a lot of people here have answers to questions I may ask. Everyone have a great day, jim
I know…..another skid plate thread!
:yahoo:
The thing I like about them is they come up around the side of the foot well and protect it…..at 4mm they are right in there thickness wise as the others….
Price point is with in what others cost…
All of the fastening bolts would need to be replaced with panhead torq drive bolts….
I also understand that they are not the BRP versions…..but they are also $200 less and from what I can see they offer better protection.
So lets stay away from the BRP Skid fanboy posts….yes …we get it….you paid more for your skids and you think they are the Bee’s Knee’s…..because they are stamped and have recessed bolts…..we got that part. :th_smiliewoo:
I want to talk about these skids!
I’m having some issues with my ’07 450 running right after cleaning the carb, and checking the valves. I think the carb is setup right and the issue lies elsewhere but would appreciate it if you guys could take a look at these photos and see if there are any obvious issues.
First thing I did was check the fuel level. I put a mark on the carb at 4.5mm. Put clear hose on the float drain and opened the screw. Fuel level looks good to me.
I opened the carb and checked to make sure the float looked level. I didn’t bother to measure with my calipers since the wet level was good. Visually, the float level looks good to me.
