Speakers
Is anyone using a portable (not hard wired) waterproof speakers in their machines? I am looking to get something that resembles a Beats Pill but not spend that kind of money. Does anyone have any experience with something like this in their machine? Can you hear it?

Throttle pedal question
Has anyone tried any products like Throttle Maxx in the RSX? I ride a lot of rock roads and creek beds and am trying to alleviate the jerking and lunging and am wondering what products are out there. It doesn't look like they make a Throttle Maxx for the gators yet.

Hi new guy here working on a 1996 6x4 Gator
I recently purchased a used non running Gator and i'm in the process of getting the bugs worked out.
I just had my engine repaired on my 1996 6x4 Gator (gas). I have a few questions. One question is, what actually tells the radiator fan to come on. I see the sensor at the thermostat but I've read that its for the light on the dash. The fan has 3 wires. I can disconnect one of the black wires and jump it to ground and the fan will stay on so I know the fan is working. does it come on at a certain temperature? I don't want to run this engine hot. I can give more information if needed on this question. My next question is my small wire at the starter don't have power when the key is turned on to start. I can jump across the hot terminal at the starter and this small wire and it will crank . I have installed a temporary start button until I get this figured out.. Thanks for any help.

Rear brake light?
So after a long ride with the family today they were saying it would be nice if my rsx had rear brake lights on the bed.
Has anyone installed them?
Will the blinker kit add them to the rear of the machine? We cross a few roads and have to drive down a few also so I'm on the fence of putting the blinker kit on the machine.

FS: 825I Motor/Parts
I have a complete 825I motor for sale. Motor took on some water and bent a connecting rod. Turns out Gators can't swim... Motor ran when removed but it had a knock. Have complete motor and wire harness. Will sell complete as is or will part out motor and accessories. Located in Central Wisconsin. Thanks

Wires in Roll Bar?
Getting ready to mount LED lights to the roof of my 825i. Looks like the wires can be fished up through the roll bar. There is a hole already drilled through the front bottom flange. Is there holes at the top where the cross members attach? Anybody else attempted this?

Gator recommendations for school use...
New to the forum - lots of great information...!
I'm new to the Gator world, and could use some recommendations on which used Gator model would be good to purchase for use with our kids' marching band.
The Gator would need at least two seats and a bed, but doesn't need to pull huge loads or go off-road - that sort of thing. We need something that can be repaired easily, and has good brakes! The students will drive this also, not just the adults.
For reference, we currently have a Snapper Turf Cruiser, and it fits our needs very well. But, we can't easily find parts, and it is now at the point of needing more repair $$ than it is worth.
Thoughts? If you know of specific models to avoid, that would be great to know. We won't put a ton of hours on it, but we will keep it a long time.
Thanks! Glen

RSX850i problems.. headache
I have an RSX850i with a new engine. Machine was purchased, and engine was toasted within 5 hours of purchase. Thank goodness there was aftermarket warranty bought. There is about 20 hours on the new engine, and the machine smokes like crazy.
-Checked oil in machine, oil was not on dipstick. Changed engine oil and filter.
-Cleaned connection at ECU.
-Replaced oil vent hose that had burnt in two
-Valves are all set to .006-.007 in. which is spec
-Cleaned large amounts of corrosion and acid off battery posts
-Cylinder leakage test showed no terrible results. 10-15% on each side
After all of this, the engine still smokes a very large amount. Any fuel problems causing smoking that I am not aware of?

2014 gator 550 S4 Carburetor issue
How the hell do you remove the carb on the 550??? I need to clean it since It wont idle. I removed the top portion of the carb but I think the issue goes deeper than just a quick clean with carb cleaner...I'm wanting to remove the carb and throw in a sonic cleaner but don't see how to remove it. Am I gonna have to remove the metal cover on the side of the engine to get to it?
Help please I'm stuck! And don't want to start removing parts if I don't have to!!!

Adjustable Seats?
We recently got a used Gator 6x4 and my wife is having difficulties driving it as her legs are too short to adequately reach the throttle pedal. I could put blocks on the pedals, but then I'd have difficulty driving it. Is there a retro-fit kit to change the driver's seat so it has fore and aft adjustability?

1st. Oil change 860i
It was not that bad. The dealer told me it sucks but it is really not bad. You will need a 10mm hex drive for the plug itself a 3" extansion and a ratchet for the plug and it will come right out with little to no mess on skid plate. The filter is way easier to get off and out once you tip the bed up and grab it from the top. I used a oil filter plier my dad had for the lawn tractors filter which worked good.
Maybe took 1/2 hour but was taking time to see what steps would make a mess but nothing got oil all over except me dripping oil when filling.

Brakes rattling.
There was a similar post in the general modification post but not much of a response. Has anyone with a new 590i noticed the front brakes rattling at all speeds? I have a 590i S4 with approximately 500 miles and this has been occurring since new. Original poster stated his dealer has no idea what to do. I checked the front brakes and the pads are definitely loose on the calipers. Either the pads are the incorrect size or there needs to be some sort of spacer to tighten them down to the calipers. Has anyone else noticed this occurring?

HOW TO DETECT BAD CV JOINTS on 625I
I bought a used 625i gator and i hear a funny noise that i think is coming from my rear cv joint(s). I do not know how many hours are on this gator because the hour meter did not work.
If i jack up the rear end and have it in neutral can i rotate the wheels to determine if this noise is related to the cv joints?
Is there a typical hour usage that might be considered to change out the cv joints. I installed a new hour meter and just want to make sure i do not have a failure during hunting season.
If anyone has some advise please send it along.
Regards,
rick
