I've been slowly working on my 650 Sand Spider, got the rear Fox AirShox in, the Weber carb, and now have started on the front Fox AirShox. The pictures are up with captions in my gallery section.

Some minor problems - the oil filter setup allows the oil to drain back to the motor when it sits for a while. This means I have low oil pressure and an oil light at startup, so I have to wait for the oil to come up before I can take off. I don't know what the long term affect will be on the engine.

oil filters are supposed to anti drain back , maybe your next filter won't do that, or maybe you should try a different brand.

I used Fram PH 8A filters. They have been the defacto standard for the large dual filter setups, but this is the first time I've mounted the filters higher than the crankcase. I may have to do some research into anti-drainback type filters that cross over. They did add one whole quart of capacity to the system, and i didn't have to buy a single part, it was all on the shelf. B)

I found an anti-drainback check valve in the Jeg's catalog, but it was fifty bucks, so I passed.

      2012 Bennche Bighorn 700x starter/solenoid problems
      By redneckred
      Got a 2012 Bennche Bighorn 700x (I believe) from a neighbor that had it sitting in his yard undisturbed for over 2 years.  We pulled it across the road to my house with the transmission stuck in low.  I tinkered and discovered the fan gear assembly had frozen up from not being used, specifically the part that slides/turns in the housing.  After freeing that up, the transmission shifts fine.  I put a fresh battery on it and discovered 12.2 volts going to the solenoid, and with the key in the on position, 12 .2 volts on the starter side of the solenoid without turning the key to the crank position.  I discovered at the starter the same results of a constant 12.2 volts in the on position.  Cranking, the voltage on the starter side of the solenoid and at the starter drops to 11.72v.  Shouldn't there not be any voltage on the other side of the solenoid  or at the starter if the key is not in the crank position?  And with the constant voltage at the starter and it not turning, isn't it safe to assume the starter is frozen/burned out?

      Coolant temp, volt, and oil pressure gauge.
      By Greg Kilgore
      I installed an electric coolant temp gauge and volt gauge today. The oil pressure gauge I ordered had a bad sending unit. So once the replacement arrives. I'll add that install to the post. The I used a 22mm temp radiator adapter.

      1/8 " NTP x 1/8 NTP adapter.

      And an electric temp gauge.

       
      Had to take a drill and drill bit to enlarge the 1/8 NTP adapter to allow the temp sending unit to pass thru. Another user on the forum enlarged the 1/8 NTP hole in the 22mm radiator to 1/4 NTP and used a 1/4 NTP x 1/8 NTP reducer. Either way would work. Both has it challenges. And both accomplished the same thing. To get the sending unit just barely in the coolant. If you just put the sending unit in. IMO it just blocks too much of the coolant flow.
      I didn't get a pic of how far the sending unit protrudes into the rad adapter. But it wasn't a lot. And also since it an electric gauge the sending unit needed to be grounded. But since there wasn't a place on the temp radiator adapter. I used a clamp to secure a ground/negative wires to the temp sending unit. The gauge wiring was simple. The gauge's wiring harness had a red, green, and black wire. Red goes to a positive. Black to a negative. Green to the sending unit. Since I had some 18 AGW speaker wire. I used that to run to the sending unit. Red to green, black to black. 
      Then another piece of the speaker wire from the gauge to power source. I tapped into the 12V power outlet on the dash. (Just as I did for the overhead fan.)
      Then used a 2" hole saw to cut into the plastic above what I'd call the radio door.



      The gauge goes to about 174° F then the radiator fan kicks on. Cools down to about 150° F and kicks off. Now the lowest the temp gauge will read is 104° when you first start the machine. That is the nature of the gauge. Even says so on the web page. So I'll just have to live with it.

      Was simple to install. Just a positive and negative wire to connect.  Tapped into the 12V power outlet on the dash.

      2003 Mule 3010 Gas Front Dif and Transfluid replace
      By Spencer Marks
      Hello all, 
      I just finished replacing my front and rear drive shafts. I drained and put new dif fluid in the rear dif. I went to the local dealer and they told me the fill capacity of the front and the transmission as I want to replcae that as well but they could not tell me how to access the fill. One how do I access the fill for front dif and 2 is the transmission fill the same as the rear dif? I don't see a dip stick or fill for the transmission but all in same area.

      Also, anyone can suggest a good shop/service manual for this bike?

      Thanks

      Spencer
