I’ve just recently purchased a 2016 S-Man 850SP and have noticed several posts on here regarding my model and have a few questions. I hope I can get some candid answers:
1. Frame braces. I notice several people have done this upgrade. I’ve seen a few pics of the broken frames. Obviously its a problem. I’m probably going to do the upgrade to my machine because of what people have reported. My question is, what were people doing when the frames cracked? I’m not trying to be a smarta$$ with this statement, but please don’t give me answers like "using the machine as intended" or other random answers. I swear I’m not trying to be a troll or start arguments, I’m just looking for specific things to avoid until I can get around to performing the mod.
2. Front diff. I’ve seen the posts about front diff cases cracking. This is a three-fold question. The 2016 models were supposedly upgraded to a 10% stronger case. Do they still need the mod? Does it apply to the EPS models? What were riders doing when the case grenaded? Again, not trolling, I’m just looking to avoid destroying expensive parts by running outside of what the machine can handle until I can get to the mod (if needed).
3. Seafoam. I’ve seen a lot of fans of this product. Can anyone tell me the advantages of using this versus any other product (like Sta-Bil, for example)?
I’ve got a 2005 Polaris Sportsman 500 HO EFI. It’ll run fine for a few minutes, then it’ll start sputtering when you hit the gas. If I turn it off and back on, it’ll be ok for a few minutes, then it does it again. Also, when at a higher RPM and higher speed, the battery indicator flashes and then goes back off when I stop. Thanks!
ISO/WTB Foreman or Rancher wheels for my Fourtrax 300 to give me more tire options. Need to be in great condition, preferably take offs that never got used. I like the newer styles, but older would work as well. Located in Southwest Louisiana and would drive within 2 hours to get them…
Hey guys just bought a 08 DS 450 when i first start it the engine revs like ya got the throttle pinned. Shut it off and restart it, it idles down to normal. Any thoughts?
Hello from Charleston,SC. Been looking over this forum for months now, decide to join so I can get some help and tips on my 2003 Quest 650. Hope y’all can help me out!
hi! I’m new here! I’m trying to help my father with his 1990 fourtrax 350. We got it new and has been very reliable. But now, if we don’t use it for 1 day, it will not start. The engine cranks, has spark but no fuel. If I remove the plug and pour some fuel in the engine, it will start right away and will be fine. I can shut it down, restart and drive all day without any problems. I don’t have access to it at the moment, but I’ll check it out when I go there next time. I hope you guys have some hints for this strange problem. thanks for your help!
Hey all, been lurking here for a few months since purchasing my 2014 Grizzly 700 a few months back. I really enjoy the info on the forum and it appears to be frequented by a great bunch!
I’m currently looking for some options for side lighting on my Grizz. I currently have two Rigid Dually’s up front and find that when night riding, my eyes get so accustomed to the bright light up front that when I look behind or sideways, everything is just so much darker. I was hoping to add something on a separate switch that would illuminate the sides should the need arise. Sometimes you get in a tough spot where you could benefit from sideways lighting. Ideally something LED and flush mounted into my rear Kolpin Trail box. The front corner of the box is angled slightly forward and would provide a great place to flush mount while tucking the wires out of sight inside the box. Running power to the box will be no problem.
Anybody have any suggestions?
P.S> I tried posting some pics/links to products I’m interested in but apparently my post count is still too low (<10).
Thought I’d share this with the Forum, Pete’s cycle day at Rock Run in Patton PA. on April 24th from 9am-5pm you have to register in advance, I believe its only $10 Per rider for the day. Hope to see you all there!
