Bought my first ATV back in August. 2025 Kawasaki Bruteforce 750. I love it. But what things can I look to do to make my riding experience better. Already have a winch, but I’m looking at going with bigger tires for better clearance. Also just want to throw it out there that I am a bigger guy (270lbs) and wondering if I should look into a lift kit or adjust my ride suspension. I’ve ridden but first time owning and looking for all advice!

Help Making my CFORCE 400 street legal

I'm converting my 2020 CFORCE 400S to street legal, and I'm having a hard time finding the left handlebar switch with turn signals here in the US. The only one I've found is on CFMOTO Canada, but they don't ship to the US.

Does anyone have any tips? And do you know if the ATV already has the flasher relay?

Help 2004 Kawasaki KFX 700 Gear Selector Stuck

Post image
2 Upvotes

I recently bought a KFX 700, while riding it I didn't notice that the Drive cable was too close to the exhaust until it started smoking a bit and now it the gear selector is stuck in Neutral. Yes, I have pressed the break and tried switching to drive or reverse but it's completely stuck and does not budge at all. Could it be the cable itself or is there anything else that I should look for? Any recommendations? Thank y'all

Photos 2008 KFX450r intermittent cutting out/dead spot

• Upvotes

I’m having an intermittent problem with my 2008 KFX450R and I’m hoping someone might recognize the symptoms.

A lot of the time it happens right after I shift into the next gear and start getting back on the throttle. It goes dead for a brief moment, almost like the fuel is being cut, and then picks back up. The engine doesn’t shut off completely. I’ve also felt it while slowly rolling on the throttle.
It seems to happen around the same throttle position, roughly ⅛–¼ throttle. I’m not sure if it’s always at the same RPM, but I mainly notice it in the higher gears, not the lower ones.

The problem varies from ride to ride. One day it was really bad and happened repeatedly. Other days it might only happen once, and sometimes the quad feels great.

It didn’t do this when I first got it. The issue started sometime after I installed the FCI intake and put the dynatek coil on, but it wasn’t immediately noticeable after the installation.
The quad has an FCI intake, HMF exhaust, HMF/Dobeck Optimizer

Here’s what I’ve done or checked:
● Replaced the injector with a new OEM injector
● Replaced the spark plug
● Checked valve clearances and the TPS setting
● Tried a Dynatek coil and later went back to the stock coil
● Cleaned the fuel pump area and replaced the fuel filter and pump strainer
● Checked fuel pressure: around 44 psi running in neutral. It drops to around 38–39 psi after the pump stops and holds around 30 psi after 15 minutes.
● Tried running it with the piggyback disconnected, however, that is not smart with my intake setup.

Has anyone experienced something similar on a KFX450R or another fuel-injected Kawasaki? I’d appreciate hearing what symptoms you had and what you found.

Help Starter Solenoid, Starter, or something else?

1 Upvotes

I have a 2014 Grizzly 550. I bought it over the summer. Buddy said he kept it on a maintainer when I bought it. Everything worked fine when I bought it. Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago, I go to start it and it turned over slowly. It did start but just barely. I figured it was an old battery that finally gave up so I bought a new one. I put the new one in and turned the key just to see if everything was connected and it was. I didn't start it right there as I had to do something else and I figured it was connected and had power. This weekend I go to go for a ride and it wouldn't start. Slow turnover and nothing. I thought that maybe the new battery wasn't charged to begin with so I put it on the maintainer to charge it. It charged and I started it. It started fine once but wouldn't start again after that. One start dropped the battery well below 80%. So my question is, is the starter solenoid bad? Is the starter itself bad? Is it both? Or is it something else that I am not taking into consideration? I have never used the maintainer and it appeared to be fine to begin with. I don't believe there was anything draining the battery when I bought it? Thoughts? Thanks.

Hey there, first time poster long time listener. My atv is acting weird. I can get her started with the pull cord and she'll hold but once I started driving her I heard a pop and she stopped instantly. I just replaced the spark plug and carburetor and ensured both work bur now I can't seem to figure out what popped and why she won't go.

Help Segway at10 suspension upgrade

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I’m looking to upgrade the stock suspension on my Segway AT10L and I’m considering replacing the original shocks with the gas shocks from either the Segway AT10WL or the AT6.

Has anyone actually fitted either of these shocks to an AT10L? I’m particularly interested in whether they are a direct fit or if modifications to the mounting points, dimensions, or suspension geometry are required.

If anyone has done this conversion, I’d really appreciate some information about the fitment, compatibility, and overall results.

Thanks in advance!

Help Used ATV for plowing in Maine winter

3 Upvotes

I recently bought a house in Maine on 5 acres with a very steep gravel driveway - roughly 400 feet long, 30% slope and curved section near the road that looks very sketchy.

Been been looking at FB marketplace for used ATVs - ideally would find an early-mid 2000s Honda under 3k. If its was well maintained by the previous owners I'm thinking I could get at least a few years out of it.

So 2 questions - 1. Has anyone else relied on ATVs for plowing very steep gravel driveways? have very limited knowledge and experience operating them so safety is definitlety a concern. 4WD and chains can only do so much in snow and ice. 2. Is this budget realistic, any useful tips for shopping used?

Since ill be moving in right as winter I need to prepare quickly but i also don't have an unlimied budget since a good chunk of my money is going towards closing costs. Looking for the best interim solve for my first winter while I figure out a more viable strategy for the next winter. Only other option is a snowblower which is safer but will be quite time consuming

How loud is the CVT belt when you are riding? I was looking at one at the dealer but I didn't get to ride it. Engine sounds nice.
