Found another difference between my 2008 first 50 Trooper & the later ones. My Trooper takes a special signal flasher with a pigtail. Found one on ebay for almost $60 in England. After the first 50 or 2008 the fuse box is different that a more regular USA type flasher was used, at least that is what I found when I went out to rob the one off of my 2009 dismantlement Trooper.

I am going to do something different and if anyone see a problem, please let me know. I am going to purchase a regular USA type flasher, cut the female connector off the wiring, add plug ends on the wire and plug the USA flasher directly into the system. Only problem I see is figuring out which wire of the three goes where.

This is my best guess, but if you want to use the one of your 2009, assuming it's like my 2008, you feed it with a hot and a ground and then the out from it goes to the signal switch and to the light, maybe that a DUH! If you would like, I'll look at mine and let you know which is which and what is what.

The 2008 & 2009 are NOT interchangeable. Entirely different. 2008 is an electronic module with a pigtail at 20+ times the cost. 2009 is somewhat like a standard USA flasher with the 3 male connectors, simple & cheap. This is how you take something simple, like our gas gauges, that has worked forever and turn it into a more complicated piece of cr*p.

Hi rocmoc........I have a 2007 Joyner SV 1100. The flasher pulsates like a thousand times a minute along with the lights. It's the square kind with the pigtails. I tried a standard flasher but keep blowing the fuse. Have you figured out how to use a standard flasher?

Hello Bruce,

Mine was doing the same thing. I tried the old style flasher but did not work. Kinarfi or someone else may jump in but my opinion is the new flasher uses a much lower amperage because of the micro technology. I have not come up with a solution except finding a fair priced supply which I have not found yet. I will post when I find a fair priced vendor. They do have similar at Autozone but have not tried any.

Thanks rocmoc...........if I find something I'll post it.

If your trashing your old flasher, can I have it so I can disassemble it, maybe redesign it and if I'm successful, I'll make one for you too. The one in my Trooper puts out about 16 - 18 volts when it's not blinking which says to me that it has something weird inside it.

Here's the schematic of the flasher wiring, according to the manual, I looked at the link Lenny supplied and from my experiences with flashers, it may be a simple change of flashers, I don't think they're all the same, this may be the answer,2455785240104110397ovhYGs_th.jpg http://www.bugmanweb.com/gsxr/gsxrimages/flasher/flashfixdiagram.gif, just add a resistor in parallel with the lights because our signals don't pull enough power to get a good heat into the flasher like the bigger bulbs used in cars, this will be more true if you changed over to LED lights or get the electronic flasher which does not care how much current flows.

Kinarfi.......you can have it. E-mail your address to me and I'll send it to you. My buggy is a Sand Viper. Are the flashers the same as the Trooper?

      I purchased a 2008 American Sportsworks Subaru TW265 UTV, with no manual and no previous knowledge. When idling, the steer column shakes uncontrollably, is very noisy, and might be from vibrations from the engine. Logically, I am thinking engine vibration moving up the steering column. I found a schematic, but that has not helped in identifying the specific problem.
      Any thoughts? Suggestions?
      Thanks so much

      Looking for information on installing a OBD port or a lite to read codes in ECM. 
      I can not find a OBD port or a lite to read codes on this R2 with 800cc. 
      I have code readers and adapters for most ATV's. From what I've found so far. They don't have a connection for to read codes. I may be wrong. That's why I'm asking. 
      This R2 has had new IAC, TPS, MAP, fuel pressure regulator and fuel pump replaced. This was done by neighbor to try to stop surging. It still surges on start up and then settles down. But once you hit the accelerator it revs up to 2000+ rpm and stays till you block off IAC port in throttle body with finger. Once you do that it once again settles down and idles perfectly.
      I want to know what the ECM is reading to help dio it.
      This joyner is the first one I've run across. Well second one in a week. (my neighbors 2 of them) The other was a trooper with the 1100cc chery motor that had been setting for years. After cleaning up the fuse box connections. It runs like a top. Had to replace all gages with aftermarket gages. Water, oil, gas, amp. Only problem one was the water temp using original sending unit. Had to install 150 ohm resistor on the input wire to get it to read correctly + - 5 degrees. Close enough. Gas sending unit was/is for a boat tank 6" tall. All SS so it should last forever. 
      thanks Dan D. aka staind

      As with any forum you join, there is a requirement for an obligatory introduction... and that seems fair. How else do you get that first post in there without jumping in with some stupid question right out of nowhere?

      Hi. I'm Space Ghost. Well, not really, but that was my call sign on my last deployment before an IED made me non-deployable, and I an now retired/disabled, and living on my wonderful VA disability. I did almost 28 years in total between the Army, Army Reserve, and National Guard. 1 deployment with the Reserve (Desert Storm) and 3 with the Guard (1 pre, and 2 post 9/11)

      Married (going on 30 years) one of each. (both out of the nest)

      My vehicle is (at least not yet) not a UTV, however, it is an ATV, A 2001 Kawasaki Prairie 400.
       

       
      BTW, That's Brandy, my former PTS/TBI service dog on the bike. RIP old girl. She's internet famous. Perhaps you've seen her before...
       

       
      The reason I'm here is that Arthritis is starting to set into my wounds and my mobility is getting worse. I will be selling the quad bike soon, and going with a SXS, and have selected a Can Am model as the replacement, so I figured I had better get on board a forum somewhere. Just put in for my Guard retirement, and will be very soon looking to get into a Commander 6x6.

      Wouldn't mind having the Limited with the Hvac system, but am really not sure it's worth the extra 10 grand or not. Plus it's 500 pounds heavier, and I prefer the doors off in nice weather. It's so much easier when working in the yard, and so much more fun when on the trail.

      Anyway, I'm here now, so it will help me research more and make up my mind. Plus once I have it, I'll be able to share stories about it and of course, continue to learn more, as it will be my 1st sxs. Still have time before I get my retirement. Takes a good 90 days at least according to the guy I talked to... Typical government efficiency... lol.

      Does Anyone by chance have a owners manual and a shop manual for a 2007 800cc trooper. I just bought one and need to figure out where and how to engage and disengage the 4 wheel drive. Is it electronic or is there a hidden lever. PLEASE HELP

      This is rocmoc/Michael one of the first on this forum when the Joyner was one of the most active topics.  First an update of others.  The earlier members will also remember Lenny and Jeff.  With myself we organized the first Jamborees in 2009-2012.  Sadly if you have not heard we lost both Lenny and Jeff in 2018.    A great loss to the community.  Myself:  Still around but rolled over to Jeep and Arctic Cat Wildcat.  The Wildcat  design still remains me of my old 2008 Trooper.  Doing well as the Last Man Standing but cleaning out the garage.  Found some New and used Trooper parts I will list in the parts section.  Wanted to give you all a chance before I list on Ebay.  As many of you knew Lenny listed a lot of stuff on Ebay.  Will I partnered a lot of the stuff with him and I still have stuff.  Take care and I will check in for message should you want to ride.  Still make it to Utah every other year and am still in Southern AZ.
