I got an old 2003 Arctic Cat 375 Auto, and just bought a 2008 AC 650 side by side. Got a new starter, solenoid, and battery for the 650. Gonna change the crankcase oil and filter while I'm at it.

Anything I oughta watch out for from them that's done the starter/solenoid on this model?

Don't have a manual yet for the 650. Any recommendations for oil weight/grade?

Thanks.

Like chase said I don't know, not familiar with those either. But if it has an internal wet oil bathed clutch. Be sure you use a oil designed for motor cycle or atu/UTV clutches. As far as oil weight. Should be able to find that info in the owners manual.

Or maybe use 10w30 or 10w40. The 1st number, 10 means both oil weights are the same thickness in cold temps. The 2nd number 30 or 40 is the thickness when they get hot. And the 40 is thicker than the 30. 

I made the mistake and put 10w30 in my blazer and it knocked for about 5 minutes until the engine warmed up. Immediately drained and put the recommended 5w30 in and had no trouble. 5 is thinner than 10 cold and I guess the tolerances were too tight for the 10w30 when engine was cold. Kept that blazer for another 10 or so years after that.

Some people say don't use synthetic oil with wet clutches some say it's fine. Personally I won't use synthetic oil in anything. But to each his own I guess. But if it is an oil bathed clutch it will definitely need oil formulated for wet clutches.

      Looking for the left side shaft carrier where the rear bearings go for a 2014 1100cc sand viper, I understand an 800 cc carrier will also work.

      I posted this before , but I had the year wrong. The part I need is for a 2014, I don't know what all years will work, but I need the 2 bearing style with the spacer in the middle. It looks like this pic. If anyone has one I'll buy it rite away. my email is [email protected]. Thanks, RC

      Looking for a left rear shaft carrier (just the carrier) for a 2007 Joyner 1100 sand viper

      Hope I posted this in the right place. Looking for the left side shaft carrier where the rear bearings go for an 1100cc sand viper, I understand an 800 cc carrier will also work. I need the old style two bearing with the spacer in the middle, the new style with just the one wide bearing wont work. If anybody has one I'll buy it right away. my email is [email protected]

      RTV 1140 Starter Relay
      By Garjess
      My rtv 1140 won't turn over.  I've jumped the neutral switch, and the brake switch, and checked the ignition switch. I'm not getting any power to the trigger wire on the starter solenoid.  It starts fine with the key on and putting power to the trigger wire on the solonoid.
      Does a 2010 RTV 1140 cpx have a starter relay? 
      Does anyone have a wiring diagram?

      I heard there's several off road festivals out that way. One or two post apocalyptic, the rest just rev and run. Anyone know a good one that offers camping? Any advice for out of state people like hauling, legality, and where to stay?
      Ideally me and the missus would be down for camping out and setting up shop somewhere nearby. That way we can just wake up, load up, and ride.

      Massimo 400S Buck UTV Starter solenoid replacement
      By AaronD1982
      I recently purchased a 2019 or 2020 (no manual) Massimo 400S Buck Series UTV.  It ran fine for a couple days but the low battery light was flashing while it drove.  It then died in the field one day and I was able to jump the battery and get it rolling enough to get back to the barn.  It started both times I turned the key for a couple days after and when driven died 10 minutes later in the driveway.  Even after jumping it had no juice, but with the key out of the ignition it kept trying to start, a quick look on the Google machine and it suggested starter solenoid or ignition switch was the culprit.  Fair enough, let's just order a replacement solenoid, right?  No way Jose....the pin connector on the UTV is a 2-pin white plastic connector and the part received is a 4 pin.  How do I swap that and make it work?  Can I even?  Where do I find correct parts in the future?
