Replacement 87 TRX 125 Front Brake Second?

I am at wits end to find replacement lower front brake cables. for my 87 trx 125. I’ve looked everywhere. Doe anyone know of another model year that my replace the lower front brake cables. I’ve spent hours trying to free the old ones up. Soaked them in everything. Still no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. All the online sites say product no longer available.

Thanks,

Tuner/ k&n question

I have a 2011 outlander 650 max xt. I just ordered the bom racing tuner / fuel controller ( I think there the same thing) and a k&n air filter. Question is what can I expect from this? I’m leaving the exhaust stock as this quad is also my hunting quad.

2005 400 Outlander XT Wont Run!

Hello All, So i have a 2005 400 outlander XT I have tried almost everything to to get this engine to run. How it all started was driving bike down the road and i lost almost all power bike stalled on shoulder of the road and only had enough power to start and idle very low soon as you gave it gas it would stall out. So I put new piston, rings, gaskets, and timing chain on it and i also did a complete valve job on it as well everything was rebuilt to spec. The carb has been cleaned several times flushed the gas tank and a new battery. Had everything back together and it would do the exact same thing would start and idle but won’t rev up almost like the timing is off, the timing has been checked several times and is bang on according to the shop manual. Soon as you give the bike any gas it would die out. I the proceeded to change spark plugs, CPS, and the CDI box still luck on getting the bike to run. It has Compression, GAS and SPARK, but the Spark is really funny, its not a crisp spark, its jumping all over the place on the plug but it is still a nice blue colour. Any Suggestions would be Appreciated.

Hello,
My name is Brenda and I own a 2014 Polaris Sportsman 400 H.O. I mostly ride it around my property and use it for moving wood and plowing our driveway in the snow and other things around the house.

Tie Rod Lenght 09 Outy 800 max

Anyone know the factory tie rod lengths for an 09 Outlander 800 Max? I got this bike this weekend for a really good deal because it was going into limp mode the tire rod was popping off the ball. I got the limp mode figured out in short order (Selector switch wire was loose) and now I need the Tie rods.

It’s lifted 2.5inches and has 29.5 Outlaw 2’s on it so I need to figure out if its using the stock length or something longer. It looks stock but I don’t want to guess wrong. I need to get these replaced/upgraded so I can get this thing out in the soup!
