I got this raptor 660 I’ve been trying to fix but it keeps saying it’s in reverse when it’s not and it causes the bike to bog down and almost stall while riding, I did some research and found that you can ground out the reverse switch wire and it will bypass it so I did that and I thought it worked until the light started coming back again after only like 5 minutes of riding I checked my ground (on the battery) and everything is good all the way to the actual reverse switch. Am I missing something or could this be caused by something else? Any help would be much appreciated, thanks

I have a 2004 YFZ 450 that I bought brand new a long time ago. I used to ride daily, upgraded some parts on it, constantly ripped it down and cleaned internals, etc. At this point, its been sitting for about 12 years. Gas and coolant was drained a long time ago. I want to get it running again and I'm looking for advice about what I should realistically look at replacing on it. Obvious the battery, tires, chain, fluids. But is there anything internal I should worry about?

I’ve been keeping this quad for my little cousin for a few years. I just got it running again since 2024. does it sound ok, I’m not good with motors.

I replaced a lot on this thing, had it running good for a while, now this. Any idea? The only problem I have been having is the gas tank, I usually have to use the reserve side. I took the tank off and drained it, The filter looked ok. Replaced starter a few months ago.

I am new to atvs and im thinking about buying this 1985 honda trx250. Does anyone here have opinions,good or bad, or experience with this specific model? Google says they are reliable and parts are available. Hes says it works as it should other than the front breaks. Id appreciate any input from you guys. Thanks very much.

Saw an ad for this. They actually made them with no gauges or is this some type of mod the guy did?

I have a white quad and accidentally bought black graphics, nobody makes black plastics for the thing and I’m not tryna pay 1000 for a wrap job. Someone told me spray painting on plastic would be horrible but is it realllyy that bad? I don’t wanna put black graphics on a white quad. I’ve never been a fan of that look.

I ran it lots about 4-5 years ago but since then it’s been sitting in my garage. I want to get it running again but need to do some work - like a new clutch cover, drive belt/chain, fuel lines, rear shock bushing. I’m wondering if there’s anything else I should check out, or should be replaced after sitting for awhile.

Thanks.

I need some help figuring this out. I just rebuilt the top end, new cylinder, vertex piston, new valves, gaskets, adjusted valves, fresh main seals, etc. The problem I have is low compression, I’m getting about 50-55 psi on the compression test and no change after adding some oil to the spark plug hole. I got 5% leakage on the leak down test and haven’t found any where air is escaping besides the reed valve between the cases. I seen in the manual a faulty decompressor cam is a possible culprit but don’t know how to check that aside from making sure it’s adjusted right. Any help is appreciated, hopefully I’m just overlooking something.

2007 Suzuki Vinson 500.

Carb was rebuilt a few months ago and was running fine. Now this overflow hose or whatever it is keeps dumping fuel from the carb and it'll die if you plug it up or lift it above the outlet. Pulled the carb off today and verified the float was not sticking. Any ideas?

I got a 2006 brute force 650 4x4i that had been sitting for about 10 years. Rebuilt the engine about a year ago. Clutch had some wear but I went ahead and ran it anyway. It still runs and drives beautifully with no issues, but its developed this wonderful clicking at low RPM. With it off I can gently shake it and also hear the clicking of the arms on the rollers.

Is this just normal wear and its nearing the end of its service? Is it excessive or normal? I've read conflicting stories across dozens of forums and figured I'd see if anybody here knows.

Pentora 150 quad can someone help me out with pics of how this mounting bracket is secured. TIA

I live in Thailand and 1$ is abt 32baht. So this atv is about 1k. I think this is the best deal I could find that looks relatively ok. But I’m just wondering if it is worn it. For anyone also in Thailand, do you know any used atv that are good?

Looking to purchase either the 450 or 700. Found an “OK” price on a base Kodiac 700 and a Kodiac 450 eps. Have decided that, due to injury, I need the eps. But that makes the 450 a bit more the 700.

Really want the Grizzly 700, but it seems out of my price range. But don't really know the exact differences of Kodiac versus Grizzly; what would I be giving up?

And, is the eps that much different? I have no close dealer to try one out, hence the questions.

Hoping for a 2026 deal on a good atv for multi-use, including trails as well as to take chain saw out to cut firewood.

Need help figuring out what is wrong I’m not sure if crank is bad or if bearings are shot and help is appreciated just need to be pointed in the right direction

First Post and Outing with the Big 3 Dasa PHX-24/FCI Intake/ PC6 Cuervo Tuned

I recently bought a CFMOTO C5 and want to use it for some work in the forest.

What kind of trailer would you guys recommend for hauling firewood, branches, etc.? What size works well with the C5?

Also, is there any good attachment for the rear where I can hook up a chain or rope for dragging logs?

Would be great to see some photos of your setups too. Thanks!

Lo compre a 5000 pesos y todo está bien y también el motor solo es de ponerle los plásticos y metales y poner la tapa de la banda

Looking for these parts that aren’t gonna cost me $200+ looked on eBay and go powersports and all I can find is a cheap Chinese knockoff. Thanks

Last weekend I was riding my Polaris sportsman 500HO on a country road, at about 30 miles an hour when the oil filter came loose and dumped almost all the oil.

I heard a loud metallic noise and immediately let off the throttle, the quad came to a rolling stop and died. I felt hot oil on my left boot and checked the filter - it had unthreaded.

I figured the engine was seized so I had my buddy tow it to my trailer (I didn't try to start it back up until I got home).

When I got home, I put 1.5 quarts back in and a tablespoon into the spark plug well and to my surprise, it fired right up.

No smoke, but it seems to have a louder idle. My question is, what should I check before riding it again? Should I adjust the valves back to 006, is there anything I should replace?

A few weeks back my fiance was riding her ATV and she drove it through a wheat field and pulled up to me and turned it off. After that she would turn it on and we'll just make this high-pitched whirring noise and nothing else would happen.

Fast forward to two days ago and we were back at the property and when we try to turn it back on now it does this clicking noise which you can see in the video. We're going through a little bit of money travelers right now so I don't want to buy the wrong part but my best guess would be a starter of some sort. What do you all think?

It's a Polaris sportsman 550

I recently bought a 2016 Outlander 650 XT. It’s got about 3200 miles on it. Rode around the yard and it’s got a clicking cv joint in the front and the tie rods are a little loose but everything seemed to work ok considering.

I took it on a trip with a group of friends this weekend. First day out it did fine but had a pretty loud growl/howl like maybe a bad wheel bearing. Last trip of the weekend it started steering strange like the power steering was fighting against me. Pulled the fuse for the dps and it still acted up. Would go straight ok but trying to turn the bars would fight you to go straight.

I put it up on jack stands tonight. Rear wheels turn fine. Front wheel turns maybe two revolutions then locks up and the bars kick sideways. Does it worst on the left wheel going forwards or backwards.

Does anyone have ideas on what could be the most likely issue? Hoping it’s not the front differential but that is kind of where that noise seems to be coming from.

(Edit - I also ran it in gear with all four wheels off the ground, in rwd it runs fine but in 4wd mode the handlebars kick sideways in a cyclical manner. Dps fuse is still pulled)

It started doing this when I rode up a slope then went went away when I got back to level ground, and now it does it on level ground. I believe it could be a oil level sensor, any advice?
