I picked up a 1999 sportsman 500 recently and all of the rubber bushings are completely gone. I think they rotted away from sitting for 10 years.
My question is this. Why when I search for bushing kits I get a range of prices from 30 bucks to 250 bucks?
I guess I need to count the number of bushings that I need front and back.
Hi all, I was wondering if there’s a helmet communication system that can link with the interactive display or if the display is capable of acting as a hub of sorts?
If anyone can offer info that would be great. Thanks.
I’m rebuilding the carb and I do not know how to remove the needle from the plunger. It’s the needle that has the 5 positions and an e-clip on it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Out for a ride yesterday and normal spring conditions meaning ALOT of water. But when hitting a hole WFO the bike makes a loud sound of sucking air and felt under powered until i let off throttle and went wide open again and the problem was fixed. I took the screen off the snorkle and cleaned it mid ride but still no fix. Seemed to happen whenever i went wide open yesterday and cant seem to figure out why
Pulled my primary to send to coop. When I got the cover off the Primary was filthy and covered in dark colored dust or dirt. I haven’t been into the clutch in a while so is this just dust from normal riding? Once I cleaned everything up it looked fine but just wondering what this is from. Also the bolts for the cover were extremely tight and lightly rusted. Anyone ever used some anti-seize to keep them from getting to tight or is there another method to prevent this problem?
I posted this in the wrong thread earlier. Thought I could get more info here.

2004 1/2 sportsman 500 ho. Starts with pull rope. I replaced the starter, starter bendix. Tried 3 solenoids. Solenoids all click, but does not turn starter. Tested ignition wire. Showing only 3 volts when connected to solenoid. Removed ignition wire from solenoid Shows 13.5 volts to it. New battery still just clicks. Can put charger on it, and jump solenoid to get it to start some times.
Any Ideas are welcome.
First off thanks to all who take the time to read my post. I have a 2013 foreman 500 es and the other day I decided to take my honda out for some fun. I loaded it up on the back of my truck and once I arrived to my destination I unloaded it and gathered my stuff. As soon I try to start it it won’t fire up which it will attempt to start but won’t fire up. My battery is good and I’ve checked all my terminals to ensure they were tight. I also noticed when I throttle it while starting it fires up but immediately turns off and smoke comes out the exhaust. I only have about 300 miles on it. Any tips or advice for my issues? Once again thanks to all who will help.
Changed the oils in the differentials last night. Front was milky but the rear wasn’t. Flushed with diesel a couple times and put new oil in. From reading other threads it sounds like there is no way to prevent water from getting in due to a rusty drive shaft, or is that problem only on the 660s? I ride in a lot of water but never deep enough to reach the vent line. How likely is it for water to get in from the vent line? I have been close but I dont think I have ever been that deep. I didn’t check the fill hole before I drained it so I dont know how much got in it and I have no idea how long its been like this but there was no sign of damage. Anyone else having this problem?
