I just bought a '05 Predator 500 Troy Lee Edition off of Craigslist and had some questions since I never own a Predator.

1. When I sat on the quad, it felt like I was leaning towards the front of the quad. Like the handle bars were low. Is that normal for the Predators?

2. The front shocks were replaced, where can I find a cheap set of the stock ones (for the Troy Lee edition)?

3. Are there any essential aftermarket parts that I should get?

Thanks,

Fox shocks aren't cheap. The ones listed on ebay are used for the most part. See if this can help you out. predator shock swap

 

Thanks for the link!
I might just wait until someone parts one out and buy the front shocks.

 

Plenty of used ones on ebay,but be careful on used parts.2005 Polaris Predator 500 front shocks | eBay

 

Yeah, I would want to see the shocks in person to make sure that they are not blown

 

The motor in my wheeler acts like its froze .i thought my starter was shot so i tried pull starting it and wheels remain locked. The starter is good i just found out and am curious what my problem could be. I need to open it up to see where and what type of damage there us

 

The starter makes a real whinney sound like its not engauging or??? The motor seems like its stuck in between gears. Theres now way the puston locked up. I was in reverse when all this started happening.

 

Help!!!!

 

Probably a blown tranny

 

Check the function of the one way(sprag) clutch. Could possibly be the problem on just the starter spinning.
