Hi!

I own a rancher at 2004 since few months and works perfectly. However i realized that when i climb a hill especially rough one, or when i doing a donut in the sand, transmission seems to slip for about one second. I can hear the motor rolling free and feel like i'm going to neutral. I had this summer to carry a broken polaris in a trailer and my honda did a great job and no slipping, but when I "shake it"a little it may slip! I read it could be an oil problem(low level). Is anyone ever had this problem or noticed it? Thanks a lot!

I did on motor oil. 650 km ago. That was Last june. It seems like tranny use motor oil fromage what i ve learned. However i didnt change front and rear gear oil yet.

it doesn't look like an issue at this point unless i'm wrong.

      2001 TRX350TM Rancher Crazy Bad!
      By pastorjeep
      Ok guys, I am a glutton for punishment! I picked up this 01 2wd Rancher because the plastics looked good on the marketplace. It has been sitting in the guys back yard for 10 years. The original engine blew and they swapped in an electric shift 4x4 engine. 😒The engine is locked up and was full of water. The wiring is hacked where they tried to get it to run and the rear end needs new swingarm bearings where they left it laying on the ground in the woods for 10 years. Has anyone here ever did the engine swap? First thing is to straighten out the wiring and get the engine free to see if I can get it to crank over. I have swingarm bearings ordered and a new ignition switch. So hopefully I can at least roll it around soon. 🤣

      04 Rancher TRX350TE Resurrection
      By pastorjeep
      Just bought this machine for $250 thinking should be good for parts, but now I want to see if I can make it run and ride. It turns over with compression when I put power to the starter, so that made me want to try. It was flipped and then sold to a parts guy who hacked the wiring BAD and left to sit for several years. They tried to bypass everything on the ES by cutting the main power wires from the fuse box and running a new power wire to the dash and straight wiring the fan. It is crazy bad. I need a wiring diagram and will try to get power back to everything that should have it and then do the electric shift manual bypass. Right now it is missing the coil/wires, the dash and shift buttons/start switch is smashed, ignition wires are twisted together... Yeah, it is a mess. Pics to follow! Any help, ideas, manuals, pics, drawings, etc are welcome!

      2010 Rancher 420 Front Brake Issue
      By DGBear
      My front brakes started dragging and the lever travel was minimal. I bled them and topped off the fluid reservoir and they worked great for a while and now the problem has returned. I'm thinking that a piston may be sticking. Any thoughts on this problem?

      2004 Yamaha Grizzly 660 Battery Price
      By Ajmboy
      My 2004 Yamaha Grizzly 660 is still going strong but the battery has not been holding a charge. I replaced it a few years back and have been jumping it lately but after sitting for a few days, it drains out. I recently purchased two car batteries from Weize directly because it was a good price for an AGM. I looked on weize for a YTX20HL-BS and its an AGM at $59.99. I believe they have a promo code you can find. Found it cheaper on Amazon and intalled it yesterday.
       

       
      I ended up buying the same one on Amazon which is $49.99 with a $20% coupon bringing it down to $39.99, which is a pretty good price for an ATV AGM battery.

       

      Just a heads up if anyone needs a new ATV/UTV battery going into winter.
      YTX20HL-BS fits a a good amount of models.
