Hippy Bathday!!

If your going to be hauling logs and trailers I would definitely go with the bigger machine, plenty of power with a comfortable ride.

In that case the Polaris may fit well, they're definitely a beast and I personally prefer they're 4x4 system over others

I own an 04 sporty 700 twin, it will move you with no issues at all. Depending on the riding you do the sporty is known for mud goin in the weep hole and blowing out your water pump seal, nice machines but also very heavy. Heaviest in its class I believe, don't know much about the suzuki but if your a mudder I would lean away from the 700....

Welcome to QC!

You can try looking into to Sti Mudtrax or Gbc Gators, a lil more affordable and good all terrain tires. I've personally run both, there's aalso another tire boasting same tread and 6 ply design but lighter and cheaper than the Itp Mudlites

Welcome to QC!!

Have u recently put a new drive belt on? I had this same issue on my 96 Magnum, there's a bolt u can get to open the driven clutch. The belt drops in there and won't grab on the drive clutch afterwards, a ballpin hammer works to but not recommended

Good lookin pics man!

Ouch, I wouldn't chance riding no matter how bad you want to. The risks are way to great and not really in your favor you know. Hope the shots help, you'll be back at it in no time!!

Velcome to the Qc!

Worlds easiest huh

Bahahaha!!!

Lmfao! I love where this thread went lol I'm goin out to his place this weekend and I'll check the alignment of the sprockets, it is a swing arm set up and hes put alot of money into this machine. Just about everything on it is new, we jus ride really hard. I'll pass the info on about breakin in the chain n if he doesn't listen well pi@s on him, I tried to help lol He's upgrading in a year anyways, tired of bein the slowest n weakest machine hehe U guys crack me up lol

R.K something, the sprockets are new and no he haven't checked alignment yet. I'll look up how, as far as breaking them in, no. He throws it on n balls out throught the mud, so it sounds like he needs to break em in huh.... lol i never did on my old machine either but nothin ever broke

My friend recently rebuilt this 300 2 stroke, .06 over bore, full aftermarket exaust, clutch kit and jetting. He's snappin chains ike its goin outta style, several of us have checked chain tension but they keep snapping. First ever i seen in 2 pieces lol Does anyone have an idea on why this keep happening? Just about every other ride it snaps, and he runs 520 o-ring chain

The 98 should have to rods similar to tie rods going from shifter to the tranny, u figure out which one runs reverse and low and the other runs high gears. Loosen the locking nuts on both ends of the one that controls low and reverse adjust until gear stays locked. Had to this on my old 96, i dont have pics sorry

The filter will be on the right side of the bike(when you are sitting on it) down at the bottom of the case, there will be 3 bolts you will have to take out then pop the cover off to access it. Note there are two sets of 3 bolts on that same side but as I said it will be the bottom three. Also on that side, if you have cleaned it good enough to see, you will see the sight glass that allows you to check the oil level and right below that there should be some numbers with ML after it this will tell you how many quarts of oil you need to use, Just remember that each quart is 941.1764905 so you will just divide the number on the case by that number to figure out how many to use. By my reading u can use 10w40 for the oil, hope this helps

I did not but here is the link i found with pretty detailed instructions on removal

ATV Time :: View topic - Water Pump Mechanical Seal how to replace - 2001 Sportsman

the only thing he left out was the plastic seal over the water pump seal will not allow it to seat, thats where the machined tubing came in very handy

I did replace the mechanical seal and oil seal, runs like a champ now! Anyone tries to do this w\o a manual it is very simple to pull everything with a 2.5" drywall screw and reset with a socket for the oil seal. The mechanical i machined a piece of 2" od 1 3/8 id tube down to 1.65 to set the seal and it worked 1st shot, using a socket i busted the ceramic piece twice and had to get a new seal lol (learning expierience) Thanks everyone for the help!!
