Some long needed trimming My wife and I just spent all of last week except for Thanksgiving Day cutting some small trees, vines, and other underbrush that's been needed for several years. I probably had 20+ loads that I hauled up the hill to dump and this was the last load. I have a large...

Added K&N to Homemade High Rise Intake I came across a K&N air filter for cheap and just installed it to the top of my homemade high rise air intake. This is an oiled filter that I had to clean and re-oil. It was 6.5" long less flange, 5" diameter, with a 2-5/8" inside flange diameter. I...

Just finished comparing my RTV power with and without secondary air filter. I warmed up the unit well and the tested it on a steep grade on my driveway. Result: Strictly based on speed without a load on the unit, no difference with pedal fully depressed. (Achieved 9mph in medium speed w/...

I recently read on this site that one of the members was told by the dealer that with a high mount air filter you could eliminate the small inner filter which would give the RTV a little more power. I replaced my stock outer filter with a K&N E-4552 High Performance filter on my 2010 RTV 900...

I bought some Corroseal rust converter about a year ago to paint the frame on my truck that had got a rusty look to it and I wanted to make it look better. I've done a couple of test spots and it seems to hold up well. It's black in color and I don't plan to paint over it although you can...

pinkstonj, I had the same problem on my 2010 RTV 900 and posted the problem on 6-14-15 under "Serious sounding clunking noise...". I've jacked my up, shaken everything, shifted 4WD back and forth with wheels turning, and it hasn't duplicated the problem again. Mine kind of sounded like gears...

cpsseals, Having some experience years ago pumping water out of a river to water plants at a garden center, I would recommend this: I would set up the pickup hose with filter so it would float in the center of the pond with the opening a couple of inches below the surface. It will prevent...

Battery Size My 2010 RTV 900 call for a Group 21R size battery. I also had written down that alternate sizes were 24F and 26R. I posted the following in February of this year about replacing my OEM battery with an AGM battery. I haven't done it yet, but here is what I said: (Posted 2/7/15)...

Thanks for your suggestions. I just had the unit up on jack stands, ran the unit in each gear, back and forth in 4WD. Everything sounded good. Shook each tire for bearing play and rotated back and forth and heard the normal sounds. The front one piece drive shaft, connections and boots were...

I just checked and my 2010 RTV 900 has a one piece shaft going to the front differential. Thinking back to when it made that sound it felt like I had a flat front tire and seems like I felt it in the steering. It could be the front differential. I'm going to jack up all four wheels today and...

Strange thing happened today while driving my 2010 RTV 900 with only 112 hours on it. (Engine oil and tranny fluid/filter changed with super UDT2 at 50 hours) I had been driving up and down my paved driveway for about 30 minutes in M gear with the grandkids, and then on a level spot, doing...

RTV 900 Muffler modification Some time ago I cut the entire spark arrestor screen assembly of the muffler of my 2010 RTV 900 before I read the caveat about the tail pipe assembly breaking off. I cut the outside of the tailpipe tp about 3 inches long so it made a straight connection to a...

BATTERY CHARGER/MAINTAINER I recently installed another battery charger/maintainer on my RTV 900 as shown in the picture. I picked this up at Advance Auto for $28 less 20% (coupon) the other day to replace an cheaper one I had used for about a year. This unit is 1.5amp, heavy duty, weather...

We've got a 13 y/o dog, blue healer/terrier mix, about 50#, and she cornered a timber rattler last year until I came out and shot. It was in my wife's flower garden about 100 feet from the house. She's always been an outside dog, seen her tree mother bears and cubs, and just a couple of days...

Disappointed in my RTV 900: After dumping the last of some limbs from two big trees cut down in my back yard, I drove down to the mailbox to get the mail. Slithering away from the mailbox across the pavement was a 4' timber rattlesnake headed to a ravine with a little creek. It's been very dry...

Cut down two trees in our back yard late last week that were about 20 feet from the back door. The red oak (stump shown) was about 50 years old and starting dying in the last few years, except for a few rotted limbs, the main trunk was solid as shown. I had let English ivy grow up into it, but...

They now recommend cross rotating radial tires, except for directional tread. I got some new asymmetrical tires for my wife's SUV and they told me to cross rotate them. Since I had to take it to the dealer for fluid changes for my warranty, I let them rotate my tires at each oil change. The...

While we're on the subject of batteries, I'd like to know if anyone has some recommendations on a good float battery charger that can be mounted under the seat on my RTV 900. I currently have a cheap float charger from Harbor Freight (~$10) on my unit and under the hood on a couple of vehicles...

I'm one of these who doesn't like to let my batteries get too old even though they seem to be working OK. So the original battery in my 2010 RTV 900 is about 5 years old. I have had no problems, but decided to research to see what I could replace it with something bigger and better than OEM...
