    How do you get rid of ants in a lawn????

    That looks similiar to a Brown Recluse spider, i would do a search on them as they are somewhat common to the area and are poisinous. Pictures of a bite from a brown recluse were shown at the last first aid course i took. What started as a red welt on the thumb grew to were the flesh was...

    How do you get rid of ants in a lawn????

    The Malathion i purchase is from Wilson products, it is a 250 ml container. The outside of the box is labeled 50% Malathion liquid insecticide-miticide. I purchase it at the Co-op in Stony Plain, checked and Home depot in the Grove had it as well. Hope this helps. They have a website @ Wilson...

    How do you get rid of ants in a lawn????

    Malathion is hands down the best ant killer going. Available at the Co-op or Ufa, not sure about home depot or revy. Been using this for a few years now and it has had a 100% kill rate for me, any ant pile will be dead in a couple of hours. This isn't even recommended for ants, it is used for...

    Silverback questions

    Pretty much agree with fat tire on this one. I run 30" backs on my 850 and was suprised at how rough they felt at low speed compared to the 29.5 outlaws. That being said you will only notice it at speeds of 15 km/hr or less and that will be on hard smooth ground. Most trails are ridden faster...

    mud tires???

    I have run the 29.5" laws on my 700 & 800 sportsman and now run the 30" silverbacks on my 850. Either tire will get the job done in the mud or muskeg. I am doing exactly what you are talking about and running zillas on the stock wheels and the backs on a set of 212,s. If i had the choice i would...

    gear ratio question

    20-40 in mine. Out of your choices i would pick the 20-39, 1.95 ratio. High track speeds create alot of load, easier on the belt.

    Polaris 800 Pipe Broken

    What year is your 800? I had the same issue with my 2005, it kept breaking were the pipes went two into one. I tried 3 times to repair the pipe, this included reinforcing with a second skin over the weak area, adding two gussets for extra support and adding two extra spring hangars for the pipe...

    clutching for 2010 850 XP

    Yes Polaris did change from a 63g weight to a 60g weight in 2010 and also changed the cam in the secondary( steeper helix i believe). However Dalton claims the kit is effective for both 2009 and 2010 models. I would also talk to Adam at QSC to see if his kit is good for both years.

    clutching for 2010 850 XP

    Yes, this kit is a little easier to install than the quad shop custom due to the fact there are no changes to the secondary. With the quad shop custom a different secondary spring is required, with this i had to fabricate my own tool to compress the secondary spring. Dalton supplies some good...

    clutching for 2010 850 XP

    I am sure the Dalton kit has the ability to outperform the stock clutching, just a little time and patience in trying different set up with the weights. Daltons kit comes with two springs for the primary so you can choose a higher engagement which can help in getting the quicker start if you...

    clutching for 2010 850 XP

    Quad shop customs and Dalton both have kits for the 850 XP. I have run the Quad shop customs for approx; 1500 miles in my 850. It is a good kit that will add better belt grip to eliminate belt slip with the bigger aggresive mud tires. I have recently installed the Dalton kit with the adjustable...

    09 Polaris rear tires

    Spacers are not required. I have two sets of tires for my 09 xp. One set is 30" silverbacks on itp 212 wheels, offset of the itp wheels give you plenty of room. The other set is 27" x 12" wide Zillas on the stock wheels. All you need is to bend the stabilizer like it was suggested. This is...

    Torque Limiter/Slip Clutch on Polaris 850 XP

    X2 on this!! I have very similar set up, 30" backs on black 212's and i am running the QSC clutch kit and have not had mine ratchet yet. I have not run in the heavy clay ( peanut butter ) with this set up yet and would suspect this will be the only time it would possibly slip.

    Fuel Regulators

    Ron it is natural for a regulator to hold rail pressure as they are built with this purpose in mind so you don't bleed back fuel while not running. I have a Malpassi 1:1 rising rate regulator on my Tapex and it will hold 20 psi on the guage for a given length of time. If you are going to a...

    509 Helmets

    I ordered mine Sept, 10 but i believe they didn't start shipping Canadian orders until Oct, 16. I would expect probably another week or two before we start seeing them.

    Torque Limiter/Slip Clutch on Polaris 850 XP

    Quad shop customs has a kit to help with this problem. Doesn't eliminate the load spike damper but raises its break point i believe. i purchased my clutch kit for my XP from him. Very stand up guy. adam@quadshopcustoms.com
