    Is it just me?

    These dang Scepter gas cans (of which we own 5)!! I've lost or wrecked dozens of the cheap spout base rings, now I can't even find any replacement ones. Usually just tighten the snot out of the spout without a ring and still drip on myself. It can't be just me is it?! :mad:

    Compression

    Just checked the compression on an 09 mxz 800 with only 1050 miles, I get 95 and 100 psi on each side. I'm curious as to why both are equally so low, and it's not my gauge as I tested 2 other sleds sitting here which both read 130+. Input anyone? Or just start the rebuild and don't question it...

    Shale pits in central Alberta

    Anyone know of gravel pits in central Alberta with red shale? It's time to top up the driveway, haven't done it since we bought the place. I've searched on the Internet quite a bit, not as easy to find as you might think. Thanks in advance for any leads you may have

    Losing power

    Have an 09 renegade 800. Just broke 1000miles, bottom half of the throttle is pretty groggy, then it takes off like normal once you hit mid to upper RPMs. Idles fine, never threatens to quit. Ideas?

    how much?

    Curious what a parts sled is worth. Selling a 2003 vertical escape with a blown motor, just posted it on kijiji 5 minutes ago and have 3 emails already. Wasnt expecting this much interest. Thoughts on price?

    Tether, maybe?

    Took out the 07 renegade last weekend and the electric start and reverse wouldn't work. As the day went on it got more difficult to get started, but ran normal once it was running. By the end of the day, no spark at all. Always ran like a champ before this. Noticed tonight that the "X" in the...

    03 vertical escape dumping gas

    First time it's ran this winter was this past weekend, ran good till about 3/4 throttle, then kinda bogs. Shut it off and wouldn't start again, and fuel is pouring out of the exhaust. WTF?

    Smoked belt

    Smoked the belt pretty good on the outlander, thought i might change it but it looked fine when i took the cover off. Now i can smell it every time i ride when i'm not even working it hard. Are belts wrecked after one good smoke? Maybe it's my cheapness trying to keep this one on

    Lost the key, now what???

    Must have dropped it somewhere after loading tonight, now what does a guy do? I've broke the chipped key for the canam before, they just program a new one, but the key off our polaris wasn't chipped, am I buying a new ignition or is there a way around that? Of course the spare is nowhere to be...

    2008 Sportsman Losing Charge

    My wife's 400 sportsman runs fine once it's going, but after only a couple days sitting the battery is dead and it won't pullstart without at least enough charge to light the display. I've been over the thing back to front many times with all the plastic off and can't find any burnt wires, loose...

    Polaris 400 won't go

    Ran just fine up till now. Have a 2008 polaris sportsman 400 for the wife, all of a sudden won't start. Display is dead, battery is charged but engine won't turn over. When I pull it over it doesn't fire, and it always starts quite quickly. Started tracing wires and WOW, thought it'd lead me to...

    polaris problems

    Looking for any ideas you guys might have. I have a vertical escape 800 that is sputtering at half throttle and above. It runs great off the start, then after riding for ten minutes starts to sputter when you hit the throttle, but never threatens to quit completely. Shut it down for a while, and...

    440 Pro X Sleds

    As I'm quite ignorant when it comes to sleds, thought I'd get some opinions from a range of people. I've been looking for a sled to boot around on at home here, no mountain riding, so a reasonable track on it, and I keep seeing these 440 Pro X sleds. Does anyone know how they would keep up to a...

    Medicine Lake

    Does anyone live out by Medicine Lake/Alder Flats area? Just wondering if the trails will be too deep with snow yet for quads. We got next to no snow left here but no where to ride

    Good day all! I'm new to this site, so far it looks wicked. I'm eagerly awaiting spring and meeting some new people to ride with.
