Kinarfi

My 08 Trooper acted the same way when it's rings were worn, it wouldn't start with starter, but would start with pull or coast down hill and once warmed up, it would start & run just fine.

Check you compression.

How many miles on your rig? Look inside your intake tube, is there any dust?

I bought a 2015 Trooper, so I will be selling the 2008 Trooper, lots of modifications are searchable in the Joyner section. I'll add some sites to go see as I develop them.

Jeff

we also have 650,800,1100 buggy parts, utv parts ,all different brands .thanks .

do you have an online catalog?

I've made a few more modification / additions to my new Trooper. I started out to add a windshield that I could fold up out of the way if I wanted to and ended up adding gas springs to hold the hood up when open, the gas springs I ordered for the windshield were too long and too strong, so I used them on the hood and got shorter, weaker springs for the windshield. The photos for the hood are here :https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0ByQAhs0e-yF9VllUc1dUM00zdzg&usp=sharing

and the photos for the windshield are here: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0ByQAhs0e-yF9S1dHVXdnRzE0ZUU&usp=sharing

If you have trouble viewing these, let me know and I'll put them in the gallery

Here's another mod you may or may not be interested in, if you have a fan that turns on & off, it keeps the fan running all the time, but at a slower speed so it comes on less. I did this because the new Troopers like mine have the radiator up just behind the seats, it's not really that noisy, but I could, so I did.

I went to the Sand Dunes and had a good time, the suspension was a lot better than what I have on the 08 and the power is a lot better, but then the engine is new too, I also did some riding in the mountain area which is actually my preference and followed one trail until it came to what looked like a treacherous down, I was alone, so I chose not to go down it, Later I went to the bottom of the trail and went up it and turned around and came back down, the Trooper is very sure footed and stable on uphills and side hills. I did have one little mishap though, I was ripping a narrow whoop de do tail and got side ways a bit and snagged a sage brush and cracked a rear fender, bummer. I asked Brandon if he had any in stock and he didn't have one in blue, but said to sand down the area around the crack and epoxy it with JB Weld. So I'm in the process of fixing that and finishing other modification and additions, I opened up a new photo album here also. http://www.utvboard.com/gallery/album/146-kinarfis-new-blue-2015-trooper-t/and I took a whole bunch of photos for myself of it new and untouched for future references in case I need to see how it was in the beginning.

To me, the Trooper is a unique machine, hope it's around for a long time!

Jeff

Taking it to the sand dunes tomorrow, but so far, it's been great, not even going to have to stretch it like I did the 2008 Trooper.

Heater is in and works quite well, put a piece of teflon on the floor board so I can slide my feet around for my handicap, put some USB outlets in

A few more fixes, another modification, yesterday I noticed that if I turned the wheels either way to the locks, the tire rubbed the brake lines, so to fix it I needed to twist the lines so they would roll away from the tire instead of into the tire. To do this, I decided to remove the brake caliper and rotate it. It worked. To get to the calipers, I had to remove the tires, to remove the tires, I had to remove lug nuts, and that took a breaker bar and a 3 foot cheater bar. Joyner needs to learn about those torque limiters for impact wrenches. My 2008 Trooper had the lug nuts on so tight it needed a breaker bar also.

I also put a hinge on the hood with 2 knobs to hold it down, works good so far. Look at the last few photo on my google drive.

Pedal mods look at the last few additions

https://drive.google...UTQ&usp=sharing

Yeah Charlie,

I took mine apart about 6 months ago, siliconed it so it's waterproof, so I'm pretty sure there's no water in there. Would have been nice to be able to check trouble codes. Maybe joyner will one day implement that...

On an aside,

MASTER SWITCH: Nearly shorted everything out while monkeying with a temporary rad fan motor. On the negative side of the master switch, I connected all the wires I had removed, but one of the large connectors touched the mount where the switch bolts to and shorted out big time. No permanent damage though.

The mount was designed wrong and any movement in the cables can cause a short, just so you guys know. It will short anything down the path of least resistance, which may or may not be an electrical wire.

This little statement has always bugged me, electricity takes every possible available, not just the path of least resistance, but all paths!

I was playing around with ideas lol I guess that would be possible lowering the diff but my fab skills are not so great. I got to get the front diff open first and find why I have a knocking sound heard most when turning left

Did you get this figured out, could it be CV starting to bind up noise because you're turning to sharp to the left?

Going to DMV to get a license plate for it today so I can drive it the street today, then I'll be taking it up the canyon for a ride today, with out the hood, I'm putting a hinge on it so it opens from the front, but my parts aren't here yet, will photo it and add it to my google drive as I progress, also plan to add a heater to keep my feet warm, anyone have any good ideas of how to go about this? I'm planning to conceal it in the center divider, pull air in at the top and blow it out both sides on our feet.

Thanks,

Jeff

Here's what a blown diff looks like inside and what it look like when I rebuilt it, enjoy

Hope I don't have to do it again,

Here's the story, my brother took this motor home down to trade in on a camper trailer and I had already asked if he wanted to sell it, so he said I could have it for what they were going to give him for it, great deal, If I didn't like it, I knew i could sell it for probably twice what I paid for it, and since I had to go through Phoenix and I wanted a new Trooper, why not get it at the same time? I walked around it taking pictures for future reference and I'm putting them in google drive so I can share them.

Compared to my 2008, here's what i like & don't like;

Wider fenders,

Better exhaust system, sounds good and not too loud, probably works better too

Brakes seem to work a lot better,

Moved the radiator out from behind the motor to the front of the cargo deck, I haven't decided if I like it there, but I think I will, it turns on when it's needed instead of running all the time,

They put zerk fittings on the swing arms'

I got the Yearben shock upgrade and they are sooooo much better the what I had.

I am modifying the clutch, brake and gas pedals, photo will show up later,

The canvas top was and still is a bad joke!!!!! flap flap flap while driving,

The way this motor has performed shows me how bad my 2008 motor is, it's only got 22000+ kilometer on it.

Had to replace my trailer tires when I got home, lucky I made it.

I plan to put skid plate under where your feet go.

They need to learn about clip on nuts for mounting the skip plates

more later

Jeff

Does anyone have a pic of what our duffs look like inside with the locker still on them

What do you mean, I have some of the guts out of the case, if you have a problem with assembly, post it.

My son has an RZR 800, my friend has a Can-Am Commander and I can't even drive either one of them because of my handicap, I'm 6'4" and they're both too tight for me, I can't get my foot from the gas to brake, and after listening the the constant drone of the two cylinder motor all day, ick. And the Trooper is roomier.

Have you ever had to remove all the string from a blown belt? it's a mess and you have to disassemble the clutch to get it out. The engine in the Can-Am is between the passenger and driver and it makes the foot well HOT. They both came with windshields, so they were both dusty, fixed later, but the Trooper was dusty too when I put a windshield in it.

I like the 4 cylinder and clutch too, plus the style of the Trooper.

Oh yea, I have over 20,000 Km on it and I do think with decent maintenance, it's still good for another 20,000, and they weren't easy miles.

Jeff

I will probably put the old one up for sale after a while, I'll be picking the new 2015 Blue Trooper up this coming Wednesday, in addition to what I said earlier, I'm getting the upgraded shocks and Brandon says it has the wider fenders, I like that.

Jeff

Thanks for that advice, 5 miles, seems like a waste of oil, but I suppose you're probably right.

I've been considering a new Trooper for a while and a deal for a new motor home came up and I have to go to Tuscon AZ to get it. My son will end up with it, so he's going down with me to get it, and since I have to pass through Phoenix, I decided to stop and get one. It will be Blue, have a winch, canvas top, overhead lights(not installed) and I'm having them put General Grabber AT2 tires on it, including the spare.

Looking forward to trying it out. What a way to solve my problems!!!!

http://www.utvboard.com/gallery/image/1066-img-20150914-163226/ Moved radiator and spare tire

I now have a problem with the tubing or radiator cap not being air tight that causes the expansion and contraction of the antifreeze causing the antifreeze to be pumped out of the radiator into the reservoir and over flowing. As things expand and push fluid out, it fills the tube to the reservoir as it should, but when things contract and should pull the fluid back into the radiator, the tube has filled with air, as the cycle repeats, it keeps pumping fluid out. Still trying to figure this one out, or find the air leak.

http://www.utvboard.com/gallery/image/1066-img-20150914-163226/ Finally got a photo of Radiator and Spare tire that I mentioned in #6

Check this out! Might have looked on the Internet for days but look what I found. I didn't know there was so many protocols... geesh.

Looks like one I'll be buying.

http://www.auterraweb.com/obdiipinout.html

I looked at the link, then looked at the ECU schematic that I think goes with our ECU and there is a pin mismatch for the ground.

Do you have the ECU schmatic? if not would you like one?

Thanks Guys! I'm going to maybe look into somethings when it's apart and see about motors that might bolt up. And maybe a different rear end. I don't know if it's me or what but I'm tired of this rear..

This makes 3rd time iv had it apart..... after yesterday I don't think it's going to be very good outcome when I pull it apart....lol

Is that all, LOL, I don't even bother to unbolt the housing any more, I just pop the inner CVs and pull the allen heads holding the right side cover on and pull the ring gear assembly out, but I did adjust clearance on previous removals. Now that my radiator is up where the spare tire was (sort of) and the spare tire is hanging off the rear of the engine cover bed, it's even easier to do.
