Thought I’d introduce myself before asking for help…which I’ll do shorty. I love in Midwestern Idaho & ride an 07 sportsman 450. Post a few pics later…thanks for the ad to the forum!

How many of you guys are in the UK, Surely not just myself and rodp?!

Bit of a nonsense thread really, curiosity got the better of me! Lol.

Hi,

I noticed last fall it sounded like bearings were gone in the diff. So I finally brought in the shop and tore it apart. I though it was just axel bearings but found that the pinion bearings were gone damaging the pinion shaft. Ring gear looks like it would survive. I want to sell it this spring as it just doesn’t get used anymore with the kids grown up. Locally for everything (both pinion $215 and $289 ring gear) its … $800 in Canada!! But I noticed sites on Ebay that are much less.

Has anymore had experience with G & H atv discount supply? Not sure if its all aftermarket stuff or a combination or what. But the savings even with the exchange rate and shipping is substantial! Even oem Honda parts look like it would be worth shipping up at least for the pinion gear and ring gear.

Thanks

Hello everyone. I just purchased a 2016 1000R XT with 376 miles. I got a super deal. I had purchased a 2015 Indian Scout and after 2 years I only have 1883 miles. I decided to sell the bike and get the Outlander. Our seasons for street riding are fairly short here in NH I have a skidoo snowmobile 800HO Blizzard. love the outdoors, hunting, scuba diving, hiking the mountains. Glad to have found this site.

BTW I purchased the Outlander from the south, I’m looking for some used handle grip controls would like to keep it OEM if possible, anyone know where I can get the controls for grips and thumb lever?

Looking to improve the stability of my machine. Don’t want to go wider than 50".
My ’15 Ace has the weaker front struts. So I’m thinking adding a set of 1" to the rear.
Not sure how much more stable the machine will be with it only 2" wider.
Anyone do this or know what I can expect?
Thanks for the opinions.

Have question ,will a 2002 trail boss 325 axle & bearing housing interchange with a 2004 330 Trail boss ? Thanks

I need to move some downed trees on my property to clear some trails. I have a 3500lb winch that I have used to pull one tree off of the trail. I’m wondering if it would be better to use a strap to pull things from the receiver, and if so, what strap would be best?
I would appreciate any intel you have from experience.

Thanks!

Leaks gas out of the overflow tube on the bottom of the bowl.
Had a friend rebuild the carb, still leaks. Replaced with new carb and didn’t have much gas so I put in the little I had. Fuel lever on reserve and it started and ran great no leaks, used it 2 or 3 times for short drives in a 2 week period, no leaks. Wifey gets some fresh non ethanol gas so I put some in just until the fuel gauge started to register, maybe a half to 2/3 of a gallon. Turned fuel lever to on instead of reserved, took for a drive to bring garbage out. Parked and checked for leaks, none. 2 hours later I take the dogs out and smell gas as soon as I opened the door. Puddle of gas again leaking from overflow, turned fuel lever to off. Got up the the next AM and the gas had completely leaked out. How can it still leak if the fuel valve is off? Could the petcock (fuel valve) be bad? I did clean out the gas tank while my friend rebuilt the first carb, there was rust from the fuel gauge. I cleaned up the rust and replaced the screen/filter with a new one. Any ideas I am out of hair to pull out?

I am stuck. I have owed this ATV for six years and it has ran perfect since I rebuilt the top end when I first bought it. Had some carb trouble due to bad/old gas. Took it to a local small engine shop and had them rebuild the carb, now it runs normal without gas flowing out of the overflow like before. However, now it has an error code and only drives in the fail safe mode. Equivalent to first gear and sputters when put in reverse. So I do some digging around on here, find the repair manual and realize the system should have be re-initialized after the carb was taken off. So I read the instructions for how to do this and begin to attempt. The initial setting procedure states the shift indicator should display N or D or R, but mine just flashes "–" no matter what reset or diagnostic steps I try from the repair manual. Please help.

*Note: The "–" blinks 6 times and that code is the swash plate sensor. Should I replace or check connection before proceeding. The error code retrieval procedure was done by the shop and I haven’t been able to get it to display anything else since then.
