Hey ATV allies!
Owner of a 2004 Polaris Sportsman 500 H.O. AWD. Starting problem....Hoping to get some pointers.
I turn the key, instrument panel is live showing fuel level, current gear and all, just no click happening. My first thought is starter cooked - but before I spend a pretty penny there - maybe there's someone out there with few a tricks up their sleeves first?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Just " re-aquirred" a 2005 sportsman 500 4WD HO from my ex that has been sitting a while. 79 hours on it 800 miles. I was going thru it to see what it needed and as soon as I turn the key on I get a HOT light on the pod and the speedo needle flashes. I don't have a sensor that I can find at the radiator although I did find one in the cylinder head. At ambient temp it reads about 1800 ohms and the resistance decreases as engine warms up. Fan never kicks on and I know the fan is good because I jumpered 12vdc straight to it and it operated. I followed the wires from the thermistor and they go straight to the sure pak thru a couple of connectors. Would it be safe to assume that the sure pak is junk? Fan not running and HOT light on?. Also I need some advice. I got the bike for $300 bucks and like I said it has 79 hors on it. I have it running right now (rough), needs some carb work, mag wont power anything so far. Other than the plastic faded, seat trashed and been sitting, it is s cream puff. What is this machine worth parted out. I need to make a decision on wich direction I am going before I put anymore money in it. Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I am new to the forums, Polaris and ATVing in general. I have been looking for an inexpensive decent ATV to get my feet wet and see how much time I can actually give to the sport before going out an spending a ton of money.

I am set to check out a 2007 Sportsman 800 EFI with approx. 1800 miles on it this week. The seller is the original owner and claims it has been stored indoors and he has kept up with the maintenance nor has he done any mods. A strange claim he made is that he has to change the engine mounts every couple of years as the engine has too much power... This kinda throws a red flag, but I don't understand what would cause them to be changed so often with such little use.

So my question is what should I be looking for on this 4 wheeler? are there any known problem spots or dead give aways something is wrong? I appreciate any advice given.

Thanks!

Hey all
well received my new pressure senor today and I noticed that to old one had a broken wire ....good thing I have a new one...lol
anyways I have to read the numbers on the old sensor to figure out which position the wires are in 1 , 2 , 3 .
I think I have the red in the 3rd position but for the life of me I can't read the harness . Getting old.
can anyone tell me the positions of these wires please.
thank you so much.
Glenn.

I have a muzzy exhaust on my 2010 renegade. Anyone have a quiet core and spark arrestor they'd sell me? I lost mine.
Otherwise does anyone have info on how I can replace atleast the spark arrestor?? Is it common part I can purchase somewhere?Looking for help as i dont want to replace the entire exhaust for this small part.

Strange problem. My superwinch Terra 250 stopped working a while back. All I got was a click from the solenoid. So I change the solenoid, with the same result. I have 12 Volta at battery, battery side of solenoid, winch side id solenoid when switch is pressed and at the end of the wires that connect to the winch.
Winch will turn when directly connected to battery via jumper cables. I even bouts new winch and hooked it to existing wiring with same result.
Am I missing something? This is on a 2015 Outlander L 450. I am the second owner and have had it about a year.
Thanks in advance for any ideas

FYI, As the Owner of ARMUSVETS you all know I have had serious push back trying to get Supply in Bulk. Over 99% of my recommendations to you all for OEM parts has been to 2WheelPros, well as of this morning I would like for you all to see the final response from them to me. I would hope going forward that you would all take this into account when ordering OEM Parts.

"No we did not really read your blabbing email, nor are we really going to thoroughly read this one. We both know that would be a complete waste of our time to even read your email completely.

I think you are missing the point. We don't care that you "need" dealer pricing or a discount or a supplier. You want to order 1000 pieces at a time? Really? Come on buddy, we both know that is never going to happen, you are not ordering 1000 of anything, not even 1000 screws, so please go insult someone else's intelligence. If you were such a big and important business man buying 1000 pieces of whatever at a time, you wouldn't need a dealer account from a company like ours, you would simply go to the manufacturer. You also wouldn't have the time writing a page long email about your life and needs. You surely wouldn't need to beg us for one, or even bother responding to us. Or even bother writing emails to us.

Education? That's a bit rich from someone who cannot use proper grammar or capitalize words properly.

We truly wish you the best of luck even though you insist on wasting our time. We suggest you stop wasting yours too. Unless you just have too much free time and can't figure out how to use it.
