Just here for a manual

That’s because people like you come to get something free and offer nothing in return to the community that gave them something. Next time pay for a manual. 

preach it!  lol I posted like 50 replys before I even got around to needing a manual...

What Ajmboy was referring to was the post. This website has a lot of technical resources available for the users of the site. Its a website and unlike social media, you don't get an instant response. Those who have the resources to share are only here on their spare time so a reply may be a day or two. Plus the way it was posted "I am just here to get a manual" is outright saying "once I get this manual, im gone" I wouldn't be too inclined to help that person either. Then on top of that to post 10 replies with only a number is childish, another reason to not help them either. A forum board is a community.

There is already a lot of people who do come here to ask a question about a problem, then someone provides some suggestions to help solve it, and they never post back that it fixed the problem, so we never know if our suggestions worked. We assume it did, because otherwise they would post back that it didn't work.

Its definitely worth the wait!!  and thanks to the folks helping me out on this site!!

I have to agree...it's a shame. Thanks for the comment!

it should be 10 likes on your replys to get a manual instead of 10 replys...  maybe that would work better?

Ya know if your just gonna be a dink about it, i'm sure that you can google and get your free info elsewhere. seems a small price to pay. i'm a professional lurker and master of the google and i only ask when i cannot find the answers on my own see i'm a big boy! nice goes a long way. now back to the race on tv!

 

nicely put

I too joined this forum looking for a manual.  I joined to be a contributing member and not just "pad" my posting numbers to get a manual.  I poked around & found I like it here.  I made some posts and even started a club (Ride Red).  I also contributed photos & a service manual.  I am not here to be a lazy sponge.  Some people just don't get it!

hondas are low maintenance but have no performance  (like I said earlier, Yamaha rocks)  But thanks for doing more than counting.....

I found this forum while looking for a manual for a newly acquired sportsman 500 and decided to join after seeing diversity of the members. I would have joined anyway because of the wealth of knowledge and the eagerness to share. I agree with Ajmboy. A little participation is a small price for all the benefits here.

Thanks to all who contribute

sportsmans are awesome

I also came here back in 2015 looking for a manual. I was able to find one and forgot all about this place. I was researching another issue for a friend's quad and was re-introduced to this place by google. 

I do have a few manuals I might be able to contribute, is there somewhere to upload them on here, or just respond to requests?

Check out the DLs Button on the top right of the page. 

See if you have a manual that isn't listed there. 

You can UL a file to the appropriate place there.

I was able to upload one for a 2014 Grizzly. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction

It is hard to find a forum with people whom actucally help. From my experience with other forums. Their  degrading or calling someone dumb due to others mechanical background or abilities.  So what I have seen so far, and the 1 question I have asked. And the quick response I have already received. I'm hoping to find a mechanic/buddy or two to teach me a thing or two. Maybe get a trail ride in. I will gladly share my outcomes,trials & errors.

It just speaks volumes to the quality of this forum.   I’m sure a lot of people get berated on other forums for not knowing about certain things.   We have helped so many and I feel so many helped me! You will never feel like a dummy here.  There was one member I forgot who it was maybe a week or two ago that said “the only stupid question is the question that’s not asked” I think that’s how it went.   #winning

All the years I've been on this forum, there have been a few "wise asses" that have been banned, but overall great people helping each other. Over the past few years its turned more into people joining for help than sharing pics, rides, etc. But that ok, its the facebook era and they reserve that stuff for facebook and Instagram I guess.

Can you tell I like this new Giphy feature??? LOL

This community has some great info, just use the search bar and you can probably find some interesting reading and solutions!

I  am  on  Facebook and also  use Skype; although I don't use Skype nearly as much as I  used to.  When  Microsoft bought Skype  and started "improving" it  the made a mess of it as far as I'm  concerned . It went from an  easy to  use chat facility to  one using too  much of my screen  while complicating some things that were easy to  use.  I  am  also  in some other interest and community  groups/ forums. Facebook,  Twitter,  Instagram and Skype all have their followers and  users.  I don't use Instagram and seldom  check  Twitter.  My  main connection to  family and friends  is Facebook and Skype now is mostly to  chat with a friend in China since  for some reason  the PTB there  block  easy access to  Facebook   and Youtube.  Security can be set as tight  or  loose on Facebook   as you wish.  Facebook  has an added advantage in that  you  can  have interest groups with in it to  keep  up with  friends with shared interests without  having everything open  on your  main  page ..  I am in  a Ham Radio  group,  4x4 and quad group, a gardening group, one  on tropical  fishkeeping  as well  as  one on  internet  tv.

 I try to help  out where I can , and otherwise  toss in  comments in the forums . It doesn't matter the activity or hobby, we all  started as complete  newbies, and asked our  share  of "stupid and easy"  questions  and others took the time to answer them .  Yes , there were the know it all  asses, but if you ignore them  they  soon  get tired and go away or an admin makes them  go  away.  There are no  stupid questions. If youdon't ask , you won't find the answer. Sometimes the answer to  your "stupid  question" also  helps others too shy or afraid to  ask for fear of ridicule  by the wise as* old timer who really isn't as wise and all  knowing he thinks he  is .  The really smart ones know you  can never  know all there is  on any subject and constantly  learn  new tricks. Sometimes those new tricks come from an  answer to  "stupid questions" . Those that  "just come for the  manuals" and leave  don't know  just how valuable a resource they  are overlooking  by doing so.

I've been a member here for quite a while, don't have much to ad as there are always people who know significantly more than me. While I understand the ten posts before downloading, I find it annoying.

Please understand that without member participation, you would not have a place to download that manual you need.  It's also a way for members who have not posted, to see how easy it is to participate here. We hope members see this and come back and take part in the community. There is nothing more valuable than insight from one another.

We also have an easy way to not get annoyed and not have to post....and that's with any of our paid memberships. https://www.quadcrazy.com/subscriptions 😁

I am going to close this topic and leave the last post as such..... If you join our community for only a manual, that's ok. But, you'll have to participate a little to be granted access to downloads as a free member. If you don't want to participate and would like immediate access, you can subscribe to one of our annual subscriptions, which bypass the need to participate.

      Heres my story. Kinda long. I guess I was a late bloomer when it comes to quads. I had never ridden a quad in my life. Rode Dirt Bikes as a kid growing up. Back in Oct of '06 I found a Mustang on craigslist. Took it for a test drive one morning before work. Fast car. 351 Cleveland. I had planned on meeting the guy again after work. For some strange reason thats still to this day beyond me, I stopped in Hillsboro MotoSports on the way home from work. I had 6 Grand on me. There was a left over '05 sitting by the front door. It was on sale for $4999. It was $5499 OTD. I didnt even look at anything else. I knew nothing about quads accept I thought it really looked coool and I had the money in my pocket to buy it. I was sitting on it when the salesman walked up and asked... "Can I help you?" Without hestitation I pulled 60 Ben Franklins outta my front pocket and said "I want this Quad. Load it up in my truck." It was just about dark by the time I drove away from the shop. BTW, I didnt bother to ask my ol lady if I could buy it. LOL. Anyway, I took it by the house and showed her. She was kinda stunned but not mad. We drove over to a friend of mines house and unloaded it. I took it to the field across the street from his house. HOLY CHIT!!!!! I was surprised by the power. I had it for about 2 weeks and took it to Sand Lake. I was there a few hours and rolled it on a banked turn at the top of the bowl right before you get to the one-ways. When it rolled, I flew off and landed on my belly. The quad came bouncing and landed on my back. For a month I couldnt even walk. I was scared of it. I considered trading it for a 250EX. Went back to the shop. The salesman said..."Dude!!! You dont want a 250EX!!! Trust me. Just get used to it" I still wasnt convinced. I put it on craigslist for $4000. Calls were coming in. I had a guy that wanted to come look at it that evening. I decided to take it for one last ride at Browns Camp before I sold it. I was still afraid of it. After about 5 minutes I started feeling comfortable on it again. I decided right then, I loved my Honda 450 and would learn how to ride it instead of selling it. That was late Nov of '06. Work was slow for a Painter in Oregon. My new job everyday? Going to Browns Camp and ridding my Quad. I bought my Girl Friend an '02 Blaster. I rode my 450 for 4-6 hours almost every single day for 3 months. And yes, I know my way around Browns Camp pretty well. LOL. In March I bought her an '06 TRX250EX (Thank God I didnt trade my 450 for one of those) LOL Since then, I have become totally addicted to quads. I love them. Couldnt imagine not owning at least one quad. Luckily I have two. My "07 was $6500 OTD in July of '07. Bought it for my Girlfriend. Traded in her 250 EX. A month later we broke up. So, I wound up with two Honda 450's.

      Hey all!
      I'm on a mission to buy my first UTV soundbar as a gift for my dad(a newbie on ATV). I'm aiming for something that offers great sound quality without breaking the bank – my budget is around $250. Right now, I'm considering options like ecoxgear, kemimoto, and boss.
      Does anyone have experience with these brands or specific models that you'd recommend? Any advice or suggestions would be super appreciated!

      My 2008 can-am Outlander 800r is having hard shifting issues. Does anyone have a fix for this ?
    • By Am2007
      Hi everyone,
      Outlander 2006 400 XT i have replace the startor cover and right after i did that the oil light is on and not turn off, i check the wires and checked the oil level, everything seem to be normal quad is starting without any problem and rev just fine. i did not want to ride it since im not sure if it is faulty sensor or not so just be safe i did not let it run more the a minute or so. 
      I have read in the owner manual that i need to clean the oil strainer every 200hr unfortunately i never did that, my service manual that i have does not even indicate of such a thing. so i did some search around and it seem like canam split the manual into 3 parts
      owner manual
      service manual
      engine manual
      I have the first 2 but i can not find the last one, part number 219100232. If someone can guide me where do i find the oil strainer so i can clean it i will appreciate it.   im going to do an oil pressure test tomorrow to check how many PSI i have, just to make sure.
      Thanks

      I added more fresh gas it sat one day now, it's acting up again. Before cleaning out carburetor it wouldn't idle good and had gas leaks from carburetor. Now it idles pretty good but, if I increase throttle speed at a certain amount it starts missing bad. I'm going to try and post a short video. Just about ready to give up on this thing.😒  you can see reflection perking in video.
