    I have a dipstick on the back right side that can be reached through the wheel well. I’m not sure what it is. I know where the oil is and brake fluid. This one eludes me. I’m between differential fluid and transmission fluid. However, it’s the only dipstick I see besides oil. What is this for...

    Hi, I just got the 6x6 back from the shop after diagnosing what was wrong with it. They charged me 3K to supposedly fix the center gearbox that had the spline gears all chewed down. He then told me the rear was making a clunk sound and found that the same issue was occurring in the back...

    I think this has to do with something in the rear differential/transmission but I don't want to have to pull it without first having an idea of what could be broken. It seems to drive okay until I let off the gas then it makes really bad clanking/grinding noise. I can get it to make noise by...

    It looks like I need to remove my winch on my 2014 sportsman 400 to change the front diff fluid. Is that the case? Also I changed my oil and trans fluid and the trans fluid I put in looked a lot thicker then what I drained. I went by the part number in the manual for the fluid, off page 129. I...

  15. ATV Repair and Maintenance
    I've been hearing a grinding noise (sounds like when you try to put a car in gear without pressing the clutch down properly) when I'm being stupid with the bike. When I'm doing a doughnut/donut and giving it full throttle it'll make the noise, or if i'm giving it a lot of gas going over/out...
