Anybody here do this mod ?? curious to know how if it made a big difference

I know a lot of the Commander guys were getting it done

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.

I’m in the middle of a QSC clutch kit install. I’m having a hard time finding instructions to guide me through the process. Any folks with some experience?

The spring and weight install on the primary clutch was pretty straightforward. Only think I don’t know is what are the different riding styles for the different shims that come with the kit? The kit comes with 1/16th" shim for 1800 rmp spring engagement, 1/8th" for 2000 rpm and you can use both for 2200 rpm. What I don’t know is what riding styles suite those different engagements. Can anyone offer some insights?

On the secondary clutch, I see 3 holes on the pulley to slide the spring into and 2 holes on the back of the helix. i don’t know which holes to use for different riding styles. i didnt make a note when i pulled the stock spring out. 🙁

Also, when I preload the spring, how much do I turn? 1/4 turn? Which direction? Clockwise? Counter?

Thanks for anyone who can assist!!!

Also, some other questions i have.. I noticed the nylon buttons inside the secondary have about 1/8th" wear already. MAchine has about 1000kms. Is that because of my riding style or is this normal wear and tear? I didn’t notice any creeping at idle or other weird behaviour. The clutch clicks and snaps on occiasion, as others have reported… is that maybe related?

I also noticed some raspiness to the edges of the helix and some wear on the outside edges in a couple of spots. I smoothed them out with some emery cloth so it’s smooth again. I’m wondering if that suggests that a bushing is worn or something. Should clutch cleaning and helix inspection be an annual task with this machine?

Thanks guys!

PS> I’m now running 27" ams slingshots, but most of my riding thus far has been on stock tires through trails at moderate speeds and the occasional mud bog here and there.

Hey all . Have a 2014 Rancher 4×4 es. It shifts really hard, harder when warm, in ESP or auto. Had back to dealer twice. First time a mechanic said the clutches were stuck. Again shifted smooth at dealer when cold but after it warmed at home it started shifting really hard . Second time dealer said all newer ranchers shifts hard. The 2016’s shifts harder than mine. Since it sat for about 2 years he said it needs more riding. Thanks for any advise ! jearlc

Can someone explain to me the key mechanical and overall differences between the 2? What’s the better machine for trails, a little bit of mud and what’s the more reliable one?

I can’t choose between the 2 so if anyone has experience with one or both, I’d be grateful

Hey guys,
So I have a problem… My 2010 Outlander 800 wont start. I’ll tell you what happened and then if anyone can suggest any ideas that would be great!
Okay so I had a light bar hooked up that I had wired directly to the battery with a wiring kit I got of Amazon.
The other day I just parked her and had the seat off and all of a sudden smoke started to run out of the bike giving me quite a good spook. I quickly figured out it was my wiring harness melting for some reason. The only thing I could think of doing was start wiggling the wires in hopes of it stopping, which it did after a minute or to.
When it was all done with that I unhooked the harness from the battery and light bar and tossed it out because it was quite a mess.
Anyways I was worried it may have done something to the bike so I turned it on and there was no problem! Then I took it for a spin and about 30-40 mins into the ride, the bike started loosing power. It would die down and then rev back up while backfiring until it eventually just stopped at the back of a field. I tried to start it again but it would only turn over, it would not fire up. When I turn the key I can hear the fuel pump making a noise but it is not the usual noise it makes so I’m not sure if it is working properly now… I tried to start it a few more times which led to the bike having no power at all.
I ended up getting it towed back home when I took the battery out and got it tested, it was dead so I got it recharged hoping that was my problem. Put the battery back in but sadly it still wont fire, it will turn over fine, it just wont catch, and the fuel pump is still making the weird different noise.
So thats my story, if anyone has any idea of what could have happened that would be great! I’m not the smartest guy when it comes to fixing things so the simpler the better.
Hope you guys can help!!
Thanks.

FINALLY got my QSC predator primary clutch installed that I got from a member here in Dec. Thanx to everyone here that posted info, pics and videos on how to install it. Had to use the water method to get the stock one off. Didn’t use locktite. Had to cut out a little of the floor board so I could get the cover back on but wasn’t too bad.

What kind of break in should I do? Drive it like I stole it? Or take it easy for 30 miles or so?

Ok, I’m looking for a few things for the new Foreman and I’m sure you guys can help me out. I appreciate it.

1) I need a 2" ball and also a "hole" for the pin on my small yard cart.

Will something like this work or maybe a better option ? What do you use ?

2) Winch mount…. I’m guessing the KFI is a good bet ? Anything better ? Probably a LT3000 or Terra 3500 going on it. The bike has a Tractor Supply "Traveller" winch on it but it looks like Bubba installed it after a night out…LOL. I’ll start over.

3) Headlight and pod bulbs…. Better, brighter replacements ? I’ll install a LED light bar eventually but wants good, bright bulbs anyway.

4) A-arm guards and skid plates on hold until I get the new Cycle Country plow setup delivered.. Need to figure out what will work and what won’t with the mid mount. Just thinking out loud.

5) What else do we need ? This is going to be our utility/workhorse atv.
I ordered Bearclaw K299’s in 26" and new ITP black steel wheels to dress it up a bit for my son. I also ordered a Amazon.com: QuadBoss Weekender Trunk – Black: Automotive

I’m about done with the furious spending frenzy on quads…just trying to get them right before the good weather hits..

Anything else yo guys can suggest ? I’m all ears and…still kinda’ in the frenzy…LMAO..:laugh:
