OPT I have a few more questions for you. Do you recommend any fuel cleaner/ treatment for the sportsman 700 and what fuel octane do you feel it runs at its best? Also I did install new odi grips on the quad but had to move the brake and throttle controls closer inboard about a 1/2''. Will I need to adjust the throttle cable or since it was working just fine I have no issue? Also seems like the old owner had jerry rigged a battery to the rear rack and I'm in the process of putting the battery in the correct position, So I have a question as to how the negative and positive battery cables are ran into the battery box? Any pics would be of great help. Any easier way to change the front brake fluid out without using the mityvac?

My two cents either Marine Stabil or Star-Tron. Throttle slack at the thumb lever should be no more than 1/8" or the etc contacts can touch and cause hard starting or won't start unless you give it throttle. Mityvac is the easiest way but you can use shop towels to soak up fluid from the reservoir,top up with fresh dot 3 or 4 fluid and start bleeding the rear caliper first until the fluid is clear.Then move to the front right caliper then the left. Just keep the master cylinder full at all times. This video on a 2003 shows how the battery is mounted and cable location. Same as your 2002 model.

87 or 89 octane. Premium fuel you're just wasting money. Look at this site. Shows a lot of parts that can be used instead of oem parts and purchased at most auto stores,etc.http://apicdn.viglink.com/api/click?...d-m888094.aspx

OPT thanks again for bailing me out. your infinite knowledge has saved my bacon once again. Now next question... What color wire can I tap into the ignition wire circuit to hook up a wire for the warn 2500 provantage winch? They say to tap to a wire when you turn the key to on or start so you can run the winch. The wire from warn is red, but seems like there are a few red wires in the ignition wire bundle? Thank you!
