Did anyone get one of these for Christmas ? I've seen questions on how big of a winch do you need. This would solve that problem. Not sure how that small diameter rope is strong enough. Interesting to watch ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JY4cKc4FKSM

Fun with the Grandkids Enjoying the day with our grandchildren and riding in the RTV. Our 10 y/o granddaughter gets to drive with me next to her. Our 3 y/o grandson enjoys the riding in his car seat. The engine noise made him fall asleep when I was driving, but when I let his 10 y/o...

I've heard someone on this website say they either used to mix No. 1 with diesel or used it exclusively during the winter. I guess you could use kerosene, but that would be a little more expensive. On the electric fuel pump: do you have to install a return line and do you have to bypass the...

Thanks Dennis, That's why the last new vehicle I bought was a 1985 Olds Ciera, GM's beginning attempt at front wheel drive cars, and what a lemon it was. Now I try to research used cars before I buy one, and since that '85 Olds, I've been able to pay cash and not finance. Then I keep them...

You had me worried about the VHT fluid change, plus 2 filters, I did on my 2010 RTV 900 about 50 hrs ago ( Now have 100 hrs). I went back and checked my manual and I "think" I confirmed that the VHT is separate from the auxiliary hydraulic dump system. I've had no problems. Is that correct ?

The last time I went to the eye doctor for an exam, I checked with their in house optician and they wanted about $600 for new glasses. I took my prescription to WalMart and got them for about $300 and have been very satisfied. I wear progressive lenses (no line bifocals) and have always got...

Muffler Man, I do not notice any power loss using this device. The passage through the resonator is about the same diameter of the tail pipe with some holes on the inside. The diffuser discs allow the exhaust to flow out 360 degrees and is very free flowing, as good or better than the stock...

Sheep Farmer, The Super-Trapp website is given below. Look under ATV to find FAQ's about the diffuser discs and other useful info. I used all 12 of the diffuser discs I purchased, added after the picture was taken, because I left the stock RTV muffler on and assumed it was getting the required...

My 2010 RTV 900 that I bought last year with 48 hours on it, had a spark arrestor almost completely clogged up. I then cut off my spark arrester inside the muffler on my RTV 900 and left the outside tail piece. I then installed a Super-Trapp Resonator with spark arrestor diffuser discs. I...

Heatwave, I can't remember which one, but one of them causes occasional "oinking". Only kidding, but I do remember someone getting a mechanical valve many, many years ago and it took him awhile to get used to it while sleeping.

Heatwave, Hope you're doing well after your heart valve replacement. Did you use the pig valve with the framework around it or just the valve. My Dad had an aortic valve replaced in 1997, and the heart surgeon wanted to use the valve with the "frame" around it but it wasn't yet approved by the...

Thanks for your comment Fitch. My 2010 RTV 900 does not have an electric fuel pump. I noticed when I installed the fuel filter assembly, which came with a 10 micron filter, I had to fill the bowl with fuel before it would start and it ran rough for a while. At that time I only had, at max, 1...

UPDATE: I replaced the plastic shut off valve with 1/4" barbs (picture in previous post on this thread) with a metal one with 5/16" barbs. The metal one, see link below, I believe is off better quality and fits tighter in the 5/16" fuel injection hose I used...

Would it be an overkill to add a K & N filter to the top opening on my newly fabricated high rise intake in addition to both filters in the stock filter assembly (One is also a K & N, E-4552) down below ? Right now I have some fiberglass filter material over the opening. I've got one that will...

The other day I removed my air filter (K&N Outer Filter), blew it out, and decided I needed to get my intake higher than the stock setup. Here is a breakdown of the parts that I used. In the first picture is the lower assembly, starting with the curved factory hose attached to the intake on...

A correction to my previous post. The 3/8" pex coupling measured 11/32" O.D. at the ribs, 1/32" over 5/16", not 5/8". I installed the 3/8" pex coupling on the 5/16" fuel hose with screw clamps and it seems to be holding well.

Muleman, You are correct. I had purchased screw clamps for 1/4" to 5/8" size hose, but when you're tightening it down to that minimum it distorts the sphericity (roundness, just looked that up) of the clamp, leaving a crack in the seal. Hopefully, this 3/8" pex coupling will solve this...

UPDATE: Racor Fuel Filter/Water Separator Installed This morning I went out to start my RTV 900 to see if idle speed was running better. What I found was a pool of diesel fuel in the pan I had under the unit. The "T" connection with fuel shut off valve that I had installed on the hose coming...

Racor Fuel Filter/Water Separator Installed I just finished installing the Racor 120A fuel filter/water separator with a 10 micron filter on my 2010 RTV 900, details of that product was presented in a post last week in this thread. I clamped the fuel line before the in-line filter and...

Kanook, I see where you'd definitely need to use the anti-gel additives during the winter up there and mix in some kerosene. We might get down to 10 degrees F every once in a while down here in Western North Carolina. I'm at 2,600 feet in altitude and others around here could be up at 5,000+...
