    RTV Daily uses, What did you do today with your RTV?

    Winter is over here in WNC, if you call it winter. We had a trace of snow back in December and maybe 5 days with <20 degrees F, and that was at night. When I bought my 2010 RTV 900 about 10 years ago my wife was very upset. Well guess who uses it all the time ? She's big into gardening, flowers...

    Speed loss on X900

    I'm going to give that try on my 2010 RTV 900. Access to that adjustment on mine is not as easy as shown in that video on a 900X. I would have to remove the bench seat, then pull off that entire panel which goes from the back of the seats and all the way down to the floor. I'm just going to cut...

    Fan to blow exhaust smell away I just finished installing a fan to blow the diesel exhaust away from the back of my unit. With the roll cage back seat I purchased, shown in earlier post, to haul the grandkids on trail rides, I found the exhaust fumes were coming into the bed area probably...

    Here's a "Talk About Anything" thread

    Closing the gap between cab and bed on RTV 900 Some time ago someone mentioned if there was a way to prevent stuff from falling between the top front lip of the bed and the back of cab down into the engine compartment. I usually have my side boards on so I don't have that problem. Here is a...

    Mine already has a fan on the water pump pulley. I have one of those FS approved disc type spark arrestors and want to have the fan duct to blow directly on that output because the exhaust comes back over into the bed.

    bordercollie, thanks for your response. We went on a camping trip over the weekend and just got back. I am going to try to hook up a 3" inline blower under the bed that will blow the fumes from the exhaust away from the back end of my unit when we go trail riding with the backseat/roll cage...

    Here's a "Talk About Anything" thread

    I've got a 2010 RTV 900. I'm trying to find a circuit that is live(w/12volts) only when the engine is running. I want to use it to activate a relay to run a 12 volt fan only when the engine is running. The only terminal that I can find that is live when the engine is running is at the terminal...

    Back Seat with Roll Cage for my RTV 900 I was looking through the Craigslist adds for ATV/UTV's and I came across this backseat with roll cage, three 4 point harnesses, that was made for a John Deere Gator 825i this guy had bought 6 years ago from UTVMA (Mountain Accessories) for a little over...

    We were fortunate to be able to drive one hour south of Asheville, NC to get on the edge of the total eclipse path. We had full coverage for 1 minute where you could take of your solar glasses and also were able to see the plant Venus. Relatives 30 miles west of us could see the stars. It was...

    DOC, if you can go back and read my post "New Battery for my RTV 900... dated 3/12/17, it might be of help to you. I got an AutoZone part no. 35-AGM battery for mine.

    New Battery for My 2010 RTV 900 R9-A

    I had hooked up my old original battery to my electronic battery charger for about 4 days. It has that desulfator feature on it. Just did a load test with my cheap Harbor Freight battery load tester and the battery checked out ok. So there you go, they nothing shabby about those original...

    New Battery for My 2010 RTV 900 R9-A

    I just installed a new battery in my 2010 RTV 900 R9-A to replace the original factory battery, Group Size 26R with 540 CCA. I have almost 150 hours on the machine. I noticed in the last week that it was slightly laboring to start. The voltage seemed to be holding about 12.7 after charging...

    RTV Daily uses, What did you do today with your RTV?

    We don't have a farm, just have some mountain land, my wife uses it mostly for her gardening, hauling brush away, move some firewood,etc. We've been on one trail ride, hard to find trails close that allow 60' wide unit. I've got the same situation on vehicles, 4 of them so we spread out the use...

    I haven't commented in awhile so I thought I'd post something: I have a 2010 RTV 900 with 147 hours on it. Am I doing something wrong ?
