I hooked up a led bar to my Polaris 450 sportsman and it shorted out and now my lights don’t work and my Polaris won’t start but every thing else turns on why won’t my Polaris start and why won’t my lights turn on
My new Polaris Sportsman 450
I just purchased a new Polaris 450. When the engine is idling the engine has a tick. Is this normal ? This is my first Polaris so I am not familiar with their engines. I was going to change the oil and use Amsoil. I wonder if that will quiet the engine down. Any help or advice would be great.
A good winch for the price?
I am looking to get a winch for my ‘16 570. But I don’t want to spend an arm and a leg. Any suggestions?
Recoil pawl won’t spring out.
The 2005 sportsman 500 ho was having some starting issues last spring. I figured it was the starter going out. The recoil was slow to retract as well. I figured before fall I'd put in a new starter, Bendix and rebuild the recoil. Started in on it today. Bendix swap was easy. I changed out the main recoil spring, kept the Polaris rope, the rope carrier (no idea on the name) the pawl, the pawl retract spring, friction spring, and friction washer. When I tighten things down it won't spin. So I backed it off to snug and still spinning. However the pawl won't pop out when I pull the rope. It has to be something with the friction spring/washer putting too much drag on the pawl. It is greased. I watched one the the videos on YouTube saying the friction spring should be roughly parallel to the pawl. Tried that. I'm strumped at this point. Thanks for any help.

Fuel Valve – Reserve
Have a 2008 Scrambler 500, it ran out of fuel during our last ride. Rotated the fuel valve to reserve and it wouldn't restart. Glanced in the tank (didn't have a flashlight), but it appeared to be empty. I checked the valve position against what the owners manual shows and it appears to be correct. "Reserve" it straight up, "Off" is at 9 and "On" is straight down. Has anybody had a similar experience and if so, what is the fix?

Sportsman 500 EFI clutching
So I am going through the learning curve on the clutching for my 07 sportsman 500 EFI non EBS, I installed 14" MSA diesel wheels and 27" Mega Mayhems, next came the clutch kit. I installed a EPI "mudder" clutch kit, it was ok but I felt there was more that could be done, changed to gold primary spring. This change was descent brought the engagement RPM's down, but still feel there is more than could be done lol, now I am wokring with Rick Ritter on the clutching. He is sending me some different parts to change out in the primary and secondary clutch along with a new belt he recommends, after telling him what I am looking for which is low end and midrange.
I was reffered to him by another guy who said he is a super guru on clutching on some other bikes and should be able to hook mine up, very nice guy and really listens to what you are looking for.
Anyone here used him before?
Parts should be here shortly and I will report back.
