New trooper owner with easy questions.

Hello to all.

Well I just got me a used trooper, (2009), and have a few questions that I haven't seen on here.

First some info on my T2, seems pretty much stock with the exception of a new muffler with the cat removed, It has 31x10.50x15 firestone destination ATs on it, yes they do rub, so I have a new set of swamper TSL, 29x9.50x15 I'm mounting now. It's street legal here in Oklahoma with everything the state requires already on it. .Great toy that goes any where I've wanted to take it so far. Now for the questions, what kind of mileage can I expect on a tank of gas. What weight of oil does it need. What pressure do the stock shocks need to run, previous owner bled them down so now I have to find a place to get them charged. Hope to here from some trooper owners around N.E. Oklahoma. Most people I've told about it an shown it to have never herd of Joyner, they treat it like cheap junk from china until I take them for a ride an go places they cant believe it goes. Actually our ran a wildcat on the top end. :D

welcome I have an 09 trooper as well running 30' zillas no rub except bottom of my extended fenders at full flex. Oil I think I am running 10-30 Castro synthetic and gear oil I run whats in the manual I think its 750-140 synthetic as well. As far as the shocks go I am not sure I run a full air shock for flexing its the stock ones it wont be much try Kinarfis post or message him he played with the shocks a lot. I live in ma and a lot people here think its Chinese junk too till I have to pull someone home or climb that hill rock or mud hole no one can. Theres a lot of good info here some little overwhelming but helpfull

Thanks Kinarfi. ( Wow, now that's a manual) I found a performance tire shop to charge my shocks to 125psi. $25 for all 4 shocks. (seems cheap enough considering I didn't have to remove them). I'm hitting the sand today at a small local spot so we'll see how this thing handles. Am blessed with a ton of places from 25 - 1500 acres to ride within 20 miles of home. every thing from sand, mud, rock crawling, big open trails and tight wooded trails. Thanks again.

      Hey guys! Newbie here. I'm an old man who's better with plowing a mule (4-legged kind) than these newfangled beasts. I, and a friend of mine, just bought new Coleman sxs and are having to finish the assembly. I've been reading on this site and I'm falling on the mercy of you experts. The only way I'm an expert is that an "ex" is a has been, and a spurt is a drip under pressure. LOL First off, the 2 buggies have no ignition switches. They seem to mount on the dash, not the opening in the steering wheel shaft cover, so we ordered new ones that are supposed to fit. They are 8 inches long, and have a 4-wired white plugin which is slightly rectangled when looking at the end of the plug. The trouble is there's nothing to plug into. There is a three-wire grey plug close enough to reach the four-wire plug, but of course, they are not compatible. 
      Secondly, the blinker, light, ect. unit on steering wheel just spins around when touched. I see no way in heaven or earth to secure it. I've looked at a diagram on the Powersports site, but can't detect how it mounted. Fellows I'd be so grateful for any help with this. Me and my mule will even plow your garden for free, for your help. LOL

      I have a Bennche 700 EFI Bighorn. I’ve recently been unable to get it to start. After a little troubleshooting I realized my fuel pump was not pumping fuel. This weekend I emptied the gas and replaced it with new. I replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter and fuel injector. I also replaced the battery, spark plug and made sure all my fuses and relays were good. I have confirmed that the float on the fuel pump is not obstructed. The UTV is about 12 years old and has less than 100 hours on it. It has not run in over a year.  Not sure whats going on?!? After doing a little reading I'm leaning towards it being an issue with the ECU or perhaps a faulty wire in the wiring harness. Anyone have any ideas on where to start looking or what I could be dealing with? Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!

      Hey guys! My name is Bryan and i am the owner and creator of Safe Sled. Not some crazy corporate backed recovery product, but just some guy with an idea. 
       
      4 years ago, I suffered 11 strokes, and am now 50% paralyzed on the left side of my body. I am unable to work a normal job anymore. I was working on the sled 2 years before this all unraveled. My wife told me to keep working on it since i was pissing her off staying home and doing nothing.
      I still plan on improving and implementing different ideas as the product’s revenue continues to grow.
      if the sled is appealing to you, please check out my website, safesledoffroad.com

      Hi to all. I’m new on this forum and I need some help. I have a 2008 arctic cat 700 xtx prowler. I have no spark. 
      I have done the following repairs. 
      changed piston and cylinder 
      change CDI 
      change ignition coil and spark plug
      changed speed sensor
      changed stator and flywheel 
      Changed voltage regulator 
      after all this I still have no spark. 
      i have verified all fuses and they are all good. 
      please help. I would like to get it running.
