I am located near Lebanon Pennsylvania, USA.  Will be using my Sportsman mostly for hunting and occasional trail riding.  Went through Sault Ste. Marie several years ago on my motorcycle.  I have a friend who lives in Houghton Mi  (on the other side of the  UP.).  And drove up for a visit.  Beautiful country where you live.

Howdy slarpa in Finland! how is the weather over there? winter coming soon? there is already enough snow up in the mountains near us for snowmobiling!

Hello Spok58,

We still waitin snow, hopefully it rains soon... but nowadays never know what kind of winter is. If we don’t get snow then we have to be content with ice fishing 🙂

Hello!

My name is James, a newcomer from North Carolina. Growing up, my father repaired motorcycles and ATVs for a living, so naturally I inherited the love motorsports and tinkering from him.

Personally, I'm more of a motorcycle guy (*gasp* I know, blasphemy), but I recently acquired my own first real quad: a 2000 Yamaha Big Bear 400 4x4! It needs quite a bit of work, but I'm looking forward to the challenge that I may expand my skills and knowledge. Now if I can just track down a service manual... 🤔

I look forward to getting to know and learn from you guys!

~ James

Don’t have a lot of experience fixing quads in general.  I have an 01 Sportsman that I just finished putting back together.  Bought a repair manual and watched a lot of youtube posts and got it done.  Bought most of my parts on Ebay or facebook marketplace.  Was a time consuming PITA project but I just had it up north deer hunting aand it worked great.  Good luck to you.

Hi-

I'm a 70 yr old retired RN with a mid-late 90's Kawasaki Bayou 300 4x4 which has been babied by the PO who bought it new. 

He put a plow on it and built a blade lift using a Mercedes power window motor.  Plows great for about 45 minutes then the battery is pretty well drained...

Has worked well for me for a couple of Montana winters but it lost both forward and reverse suddenly while plowing-no warning, no noises, no grinding, no burning smell-nothing.

Posted a new topic on it here last week but so far no one has chimed in with any thoughts:     

My riding experience has been pretty much limited to plowing and trips down to the mailbox ~ 1.4 miles away.

Too bad, since I live in the heart of God's country [NW Montana's Flathead valley].

If there are any local folks with Bayous who have experience with their innards I'd love to make your acquaintance!

I bought a used sportsman that was used on a Christmas tree farm.  I wound up having to take just about the whole thing apart.  Seemed like every time I took a part off I found 2 more that needed replacing.  If you are mechanically inclined at all I found a lot of helpful information on youtube.  I am 72 and it took me awhile but it is finished and worked well when we went hunting this year.  Good luck to you.

      2000 Yamaha big bear 400 won’t start
      By Mister907
      Hi guys, I have a 2004 big bear 400. Last winter while plowing the driveway, I heard a loud pop from the left side of the engine. It continued to run as I looked for leaky fluid, but then died shortly after backing it up and won’t start now. The oil light comes on when I try to start it, no noise or anything else. 
      No blown fuses that I can find.

      Which ATV hold better value as used
      By prdicon
      I was looking to buy a new ATV. 
      I was debating between Polaris sportsman 450 and Honda rancher.
      Polaris it a bit cheaper.
      But can you tell me which one will have more demand on the used market? Which one will keep it's value better?
       
      Let's say 3-5 years from now.
