Been wrenching on a 2009 RZR 800. Took it out a couple times and the overheat indication came on. Found the coolant low. Filled and same thing happen the next day. When I run it at idle, steam pours off the radiator and it smells like glycol. No visible coolant leakage when it sits overnight. I suspect the radiator has several pin holes that retain liquid but leak when the coolant is vaporized. Can anyone else have experience with this?

Thanks AJM. Last week it overheated, steamed up and bypassed blowing coolant everywhere. Filled it up again today and did the air purge per the manual. No white smoke. I think it was low before. Will monitor. Still get steam off the radiator after it idles for awhile.

Radiator fan was not turning on. I did the test per the manual. While running, disconnect wire connector from the temp sensor near the thermostat. Fan is supposed to default to on. Mine didn't. Found the fan relay lose in the fuse box. Works great now.

      Has anyone found aftermarket CDI for Big Bear 400?
      By Callaway
      I am trying to diagnose a no spark issue with my 02 Big Bear 400 and I am really hoping it is not a CDI.  I have done the test on the stator and I believe that is faulty.  I ordered a new aftermarket one from a the jungle website and it tested bad right out of the box so I am waiting for a different one to arrive from an ATV parts supplier.  I started looking out of curiosity at CDI units and it seems if it is for a big bear you are SOL.  Kodiaks, no problem.  Big Bear. No such luck.

      Yamaha Grizzly 400 /Hisun 400 coolant recovery tank
      By mcmoose
      Hi all, Ive got a Hisun 400 quad and have p[osted before , thanks to all who answered and helped!
      I need a coolant recovery tank for this quad, i believe its a yamaha grizzly copy , the thing is the tank is not shown on any hisun manuals i can find, and looks different to what i expect on the yamaha pages. (the original part has been lost). Does anybody have a picture of the recovery tank in-situ on the early 2000’s grizzly ? This quad is killing me!
      hope you can help solve this final piece in my puzzle.

      New Yamaha Timberwolf Rear Shock Found!
      By McG75
      Sorry I suck at these forums so if you see this submitted under update status, my bad. Anyhow this is a new shock for a 96 Yamaha Kodiak 400 4x4 it fits my 96 Yamaha Timberwolf 250 4x4 perfectly. Little narrower are the bottom than the original but everything else is perfect. I extended it to almost a half in from full extension because I’m pushing 350 pounds.  It rides and hold me well. So if any of y'allRace driven shock. have been looking for one and didn’t want to do the research here it is.

      New member looking to learn from those that have been there/done that.

      Hey all got a Kawasaki 300 that's seen better days I'm looking to get running.  But first, I'm working on a Honda 350 ES and mainly needing where are you all finding quality parts at good prices.  Atvs are really hot items around here right now and most of the folks wanting and needing them are not familiar with working on them.  I'm looking to find a good resource for information and if it works out well pass this group along to the folks I help to get them in the know how to get the most out of their machines.  Thanks in advance.

      Has anyone in BC been into Redfern Keily Trail yet this year 2023?
      By JoeB
      Hello, Trying to see if anyone on here has been into these trails yet this year. I havn't been in in almost 10 years and am not sure of the conditions. Last time I was in was over 10 years ago and I went in on a 2wd quad, someone thought the mudholes had gotten far to large for that now. We have winches and recover gear and 2 of 5 quads have  4WD. I also cant recaul if the road into the trail head is high grade or not, was hoping to use our class c motrhome as a tow rig, but if its not graveled its not worth getting it stuck if it rains.
       
      Thanks
