Default ATV Question

Where do you guys buy ATV rebuild parts? Anywhere better than Ebay or is that my best bet?

Just bought a Polaris predator 500 for next to nothing as a winter project (just something to tinker with), and need a few things. Jug, Exhaust Valves, Piston, etc......

I don't have any personal experience Eric. But to want to share that this guy that has a fantastic machine shop and REALLY knows his stuff if you need it:

He was next door to the shop where I built my Derby cars a few years ago, and has given me great advice on a bunch of toys over the years.

Depends on what you want..stock or performance? If oem try online places like bike bandit. It you want to go fast/built stuff try calling Duncan racing, ask for Kevie and tell her "stix" told you to call.....

Used oem you can try fleabay etc....

ebay, for good used parts, allballs racing for bearings, seals and some suspension parts. .ebc for brake pads, use oem sites to look up part numbers then google the part number. There are a lot of crap after market bearings out there so dont be tempted by the lowest price. a polaris forum will have all the compatible part numbers for things like u-joints, brakes, fans, just about anything you may need

Some ebay sellers dont know which parts crossover so you can buy parts listed for a 400 canam that also fit 800's and 1000's I am sure that is true with polaris also.

My local dealer has started coming closer to online prices for me as he knows I will shop around.

Thanks Guys - that partshark website is great - the parts fiche is really useable on that website!!

Initial plan will be to bore from 99.2mm to 104.8mm, put a 560 Wiseco kit in it and a new set of Kibblewhite valves (exhaust got bent).

The connecting rod broke so I am going to hopefully try to get away with just opening up the case, sliding a new crank in and bolting it back up. Hopefully i can get away with not having to buy a bunch of specialty tools.....



After dealing with boat parts it's a blessing to be looking for ATV parts - you can buy a nice throttle control box for $25, all new valves and seals are $100 bucks, the overbore kit, complete with piston, pin, circlips, and rings is $130!!!! I feel like I've died and gone to heaven...........
