So for some reason the headlight switch is controlling the neutral light. When the headlight switch is off the neutral light goes on and I can start the quad and vise versa. When the headlights are turned on and the quads running it instantly dies. If anyone has any ideas im stumped, I have replaced the voltage regulator. Any input is greatly appreciated.
Am I missing something, or does the outlaw 70 not have a reverse? I have only looked online so far.
Great to hear tips from the seasoned pros!
I have an Outlander Can-Am 650, and unfortunately, I've lost both keys to it. Does anyone know what steps I should take to get a replacement key? Any advice on getting it reprogrammed or places that could help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Hello guys, is it possible to put a tow bar on a Suzuki LTZ 400.
If possible, I would be happy to see pictures of where and how it is installed. Thanks in advance 🙏
So i just did brake shoes all around on it, replaced the front master cylinder and throughly bled the front brakes. Adjusted the brakes all around and a have very very weak front brakes. If someone holds the front shoes as someone else squeezes the brake it's fairly firm
Any ideas on how to fix this? Drums looked okay
If anyone out there can help me.Acquired a 2004 artic cat 400,and it ran for a moment,then no spark,read forums and replaced stator,voltage regulator,handle bar controls,ignition,and ignition coil and in the process blew the diodes,in this case it was actually 2,they are located in frontand above cylinder head.each diode has 4 blue wires,these diodes resemble a trickle charger plug in,cant find them anywhere.They are not in fuse block,this machine only has 6 fuses in tiny block.Do i /Should i upgrade to newer fuse block,with spade type diodes and if so,what about other diodes in harness?Sorry for the book,above,Any help greatly appreciated!!
So I have a basically brand new 2018 sportsman 850 that was purchased brand new in 2018. Recently got my dad a 2019 570 sportsman with PS and the difference is huge vs my non power steering 850. Love the machine has plenty of power and has been great so far but I want PS. Is there a way to convert mine to Power steering. Or should I take my losses and sell it with all the upgrades I’ve already done Bumpers winch rack ect and get something with PS. Thinking a grizzly 700 or a new can am 850 or possibly 1000. Anyone ever retrofit a non eps model with factory parts or aftermarket kit ? TYIA happy riding
I know about the issues some of the 2016-2018 708cc Subaru Grizzly/Kodiaks had, but rather than the bad years are there any years that are considered to be better than others?
Hi all! Its been a while since I’ve been on a quad but my husband and kids are really getting into it. The problem is that I broke my ankle when I was 17 (I’m almost 40 now) and it’s so hard for me to lift my foot with enough force to shift. It also doesn’t help that I have limited range of motion upward and strength in that joint leaves a lot to be desired right now. I’ll be riding a semi auto because the utility quads that are automatic are just too heavy and bulky and I’d prefer something lighter. Are there a brand of boots that can help? Any recommendations?
Try and start it and get a single click and that's it. Battery is reading 12.53v, even tried swapping batteries with our other coolster that still starts and nada. Changed out the starter solenoid (that's where the clicking was coming from) and still nothing but after click. Any suggestions?
I have an ltz400 where I had to replace a piece of wire at the voltage regulator due to the regulator burning up. I have it soldered in two spots with a connector that has pre solder in it. This is the only spot where this wire gets hot. Is there a better way to repair this? I have redone it twice to make sure the solder melted with a heat gun.
Quad was running fine last week just had carburetor rebuild crank's fine and everything sounds right the chokes working sounds like the kill switch is engaged. Reason I know it's not to kill switch is I swapped with a known good one and it's still doing the same thing. Cannot start with starter fluid found this on the bottom of the carburetor with the wires hanging anybody know what this is and if it could cause it not to start. They both were hanging off originally I tried to put the one back on but it didn't feel right. ATVs acting like it's not getting fuel. Any ideas I appreciate it. Or if you got identify what that is.
When I press the throttle the metal sound comes I don't see anything loose or vibrating so I think it's coming from the engine any help is appreciated
The past few years I’ve been using Maxima Premium oil for my atv.
This year I’m thinking of switching to Rotella T6.
Has anyone seen any comparisons or have anecdotal evidence for this switch?
Was running great today. Went to get back on it this afternoon and the fan won’t come on when you turn the key, won’t turn over and no lights. I figured maybe the battery, went to jump it, nothing. What gives? Never had an issue.
Can I stand a quad on its rear tires with paddles?
