The stock driver seat cushion is separated at a seam. I took the seat apart and found that the material has torn and cannot be re-stiched. I'm trying to find a replacement seat. Any suggestions? Hoping for a used seat but couldn't find one on Ebay.

Good used seats are hard to find, i usually recover mine, if the foam is in good shape thats a plus, if not i usually use the thin self adhesive foam to build it back up to the original shape, and seat covers are fairly cheap on Ebay.

I found some seat covers on Amazon for $35 and decided I would give them a try.  I took the old cover off and cleaned the foam with bleach and water solution. I left the foam in the Sun and it killed off all the remaining mold. I watched a few YouTube videos and bought some stainless steel staples. The cover went on with a lot of stretching. I paid a lot of attention to removing wrinkles and getting the seams straight. There were a lot of temporary staples needed to tack after stretching. I took my time and the seat turned out great. I will take pictures for my next post. Thanks for your posts

I promised to send pictures. Also I recommend getting a pneumatic stapler from Harbor Freight or you will find that the hand held staplers are hard to work with and do not drive the staples deep enough. Additionally I recommend YouTube videos by “Old School Auto Upholstery “ for the techniques necessary for this job. I’m very happy with the results.IMG_2359.thumb.jpeg.43ff81160f5096134fa9d6c1ef6dc273.jpegIMG_2359.thumb.jpeg.43ff81160f5096134fa9d6c1ef6dc273.jpegIMG_2360.thumb.jpeg.03352cf883c5bb8e36369139852f59b4.jpeg

Tne seats look very good, you did a great job. I agree with the pneumatic stapler tip, every time i do one i say im going to have to get a better stapler, last one i did i got an electric stapler it didnt do any better than the mechanical one. I will have to try a pneumatic one.

No i havent i have mostly done ATVs and Motorcycles and they came with custom fit covers. From the looks of your seats the back should also be a custom fit cover cut and sewed to fit the OEM seat foam, there should be some for sale they just slide over and tied at the back to make it tight.

      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.

      Hi All.  I introduced myself some weeks ago with my 2006 LT-F400F that needed a list of repairs including replacing the cracked generator cover.  It is back together as of last night and cranks up, idles and revs high pretty well.  Needs some fine tuning and stop backfiring at stop.
      The big issue is it will not go into gear.  I reassembled the insides with help from y’all’s posts.  The transfer selector moves from H-L-R, and the foot shifter moves thru the gears and finds neutral easily enough.  Before I tear it back open, the  transfer selector on top does not move as far as the repair manual says.  The diagram shows the shaft moving something like 40 degrees between L and H and 50+ degrees between L and R but it doesn’t move that far even though it finds the indent areas and moves well.  
      Could this be the problem.  I aligned all the dots on the shifter gears inside and it appeared to not be binding anywhere.  I do hear the gears touching when I shift like they are trying to engage, but zero movement from the ARV
      It was somewhat difficult to tell whether all the parts are installed on each shaft.
      Are there better/bigger photos somewhere that would allow me to be confident I included all the washers and bushings, etc?  If I had any doubt on parts that were laying inside after the cover broke then I purchased replacements from online stores.
      TIA for any input or feedback!!  Pics are from when I first took the generator cover off.

      The family has two quads and have been asking where to ride around here- we are about 70 miles north of spokane and looking for places that are nice to go visit for beginners.
      We have a 2003 Polaris sportsman, and a 2004 Artic Cat 2-up (I forget the size)

      Hello All !
      I am looking for a service manual and wiring diagram for a 2005 50cc Polaris Predator 4 wheeler.
      Could anyone help with this?

      Have you ever been on the trail and your tire valve goes bad. No way to break down the wheel and replace it. A lot of you probably know about this already i had heard of it but never used one. Just punch out the old one insert and tighten down the nut
       

       

       

       
      So far it has worked very well.
