Default new guy needs some help!

Good morning everyone....I'm new to the forum and could sure use some help/advice/tips......
I just bought a 2004.5 Sportsman 500 H.O.--1175 miles on the OD-- and it has a couple problems:rear brake doesn't work (I'm pretty sure i have that one figured out);the right rear wheel wobbles---something is bent??;the machine is "stuck" in 4 wheel drive;the tach doesn't work (could this be due to ECM issues)
Thanks for your help!

replace your spedo, it will most likely take care of your 4x4 problem too as it controls the 4x4.

I solved ALL my problems with the 2004.5 Sportsman.........I traded it for a new '07 500 Sportsman EFI,Limited Edition.It's AWESOME! (it's ONLY money...right??)

Not too sure the wife would like it if I used your repair methods. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
