26″ Zillas

Hey everyone, I have a chance to grab 26" zillas 9" front 11" rear on stock 12" can am rims

They have about 500km on them.

$600 Canadian.

I’m just concerned I will want taller tires but I will not go any bigger then 28" at the door of the day.

Just trying to hash this out, any thoughts?

95 Xplorer 2 stroke oil leak

I posted this in the repair section and haven’t received a response yet:

My starter wouldn’t turn over so when I got to the part of taking off the recoil housing, 2 stroke oil just gushed out of it. The leak filled the starter also. The counterbalance, trans and coolant levels are fine.

So, referencing a previous post: http://www.polarisatvforums.com/foru…0-xplorer.html

Would just changing the outside oil seal #44 fix the issue or would the inside one have to be changed as well? It looks like much work would have to be done for the inside one. The engine is running and starting fine. I have not done a compression or leak down test but there is a lot of compression when pull starting.

2003 TRX300ext starting problem

Hello,

walked into a grenade here, but arent most quads that.

helping a buddy out.

was missing battery, wrong ignition switch (was told key snapped off in an accident in the woods)

New battery, new ignition switch.

Jumped solenoid and it fired with some gas in intake. Idles low and quiet.

Removed two smaller wires to solenoid, green went to ground, red went to pos on battery, cranked and fired good.

Nothing happens when you hit the starter switch on the handlebars. No headlights either. Not sure if maybe they go to the same connector and I cant find it.

Machine is in neutral, it didnt move when I ran it.

Trying to find where I can disconnect the starter switch on the handlebars. Took the part on with the two screws, and the wires just go into the harness.

Pretty sure that I should find positive to one side of the harness and if I jump to the other side and it fires this will tell me switch is bad.

thanks for any guidance.

Help with the brakes on my 450 foreman

I’ve got a few things going on. 1 is that the left side cable for the hand brake doesnt stay in the bracket. It allows the handle to move before actually applying the brakes. The other thing i have going on is the adjusters on the rear axle. Should they spin with ease? When i try to spin them the whole cable assembly spins. I didn’t want to tear something up trying to make them move.

New from Ohio

Not a Grizzly owner yet, but hope to be by the end of the week. My eye is on the 16 Grizzly with EPS.

We’ve had Ranchers for the last 13 years and have come to the realization that I’m getting too old to get beat up by the swing arm. So I started looking at the Foreman Rubicon with IRS (as I love the manual shift) and the more I read, the more people say get a Grizzly.

I’ve always been wary about the belt drive but think I’ve read enough to see that everything will be fine as Yamaha has the best cvt in the market.

Got a couple weeks before our ride at Wayne’s national forest so I’m excited to get a new machine and try it out.
