I just bought an 03 ltz400 and I changed the oil, but I cannot find a dipstick or clear view place to check oil level, the dealer told me how much to put in, but what if its burning oil and I dont know any help would e greatly appreciated.

Put in the correct amount of oil then find a long narrow object to dip into the filler hole, mark the level of the oil on said object, that will give you a reference point you can use later to make sure you haven't lost any oil. A wooden ka-bob stick works really well.

The dipstick should be there, do you have just a "screw-in" cover on the oil fill and no dipstick?

Below is an image of what it should look like.

The oil level should be to the top of the crosshatch area on the dipstick.

      Just some friendly advice on new tires. Check with your ATV dealer. 
      There are so many aftermarket sites, Revco, Royal Distributing, Partzilla, and on and on. Even with their “ big sales”, my local Canam dealer’s REGULAR price beat the tire prices of the 3rd party sellers! People often assume the Dealership will cost them more, but I found this not to be true!

      I have replaced the cracked stator cover on my non-running 2006 LT-F400F that I purchased recently, checked all the shafts vs the service manual and pics and advice here.  I replaced missing gears, bushings and washers, made sure that truth marks were all aligned properly, that the shift cam springs felt like they returned properly, etc.  IAfter installing the new stator cover I checked the transfer lever for proper movement from L-H-R and then cranked it up.  Happily, it runs and changes gears well in L,  but it will not shift into H or R for anything.  I have opened it back up and am going back through it looking for the missing puzzle piece(s) but how can I best check that I have everything right this time before buttoning it back up?

      I live in North Eastern Wa, in Collville, and I'm trying to figure out if there are any good regional used parts dealers around here- Our town had a decent Polaris dealer- but dealer prices are what to be expected these days.

      I've got some random little pieces I'm looking for and tired of scrolling ebay (2003 Polaris Sportsman 700)
      These are odds and ends stuff and I'll probably end up on ebay- but figured I'd ask.

      Hello All
      I'm kinda new to ATVs. I just bought a 1987 Suzuki quad runner 230 Dual Range. I'm having a problem finding info on it. It's very clean, only 2.800 miles. The front wheels are only 30 in.center to center. I was thinking about adding wheel spacers to give it more stability. I realize the added stress on ball joints and bearings. I'm wondering if there are any other concerns? Any input is greatly appreciated!

      So.. it a weird one.. The quad surges as you go down the road. By the looks of my tracks, it's one wheel only. High range, low range, 2 wd , 4 wd.. It just doesn't matter.. 
      You can see in the pictures the marks it leaves. That was in a straight line, with hardly any acceleration. 
      Any ideas?
