Sportsman 850 starter coupler gear

Part listed as ASM-DAMPER,SPRING,850 New Part#1333090 Old part# 1333002

Hey Guys so the motor or something start banging like nuts, maybe the crank or something deep. We get inside and find the ($500+) part listed above is broken, moving around, clip is broken and missing parts. (inside of motor looks fine and no metal so we are focusing on this broken part.)

We know we need to replace it but would like to know if anyone has explanation of what it actually dampens or does? Why not have it solid to give more HP to the wheels?

What about doing away with all the guts, springs, clips etc.. and welding it solid and re balancing it, with no dampening capacity at all... What would that do? Pro & Cons

I have not seen any aftermarket replacement with or without the dampening system of springs and stuff inside. Yes we cut it open and it has a bunch of springs, clips and dodads in there..LOL

We were talking and wondering if Can Am has a solid one and that is why they seem to have more snap off the line and not as spongee or soft. Any ideas or help is much appreciated. Thank you in advance - Pic in link below.

All headlights new models

A few easy questions.

I have a 2008 renegade and I wanted all four lights to come on but it sounds like that mod is a bad idea. Do the Newer renegades have that option now? I’m seeing a lot of videos online were all four lights are on.

How about the outlander, do all 4 lights come on in high mode?

Also I find it annoying that the headlight switch is with the key instead of on the handlebars. Do the newer models have the headlight off switch moved to the handlebar?

Thanks

New grey beard.

Hello ladies and gentlemen. I am new to the forums here and have purchased my first atv. I purchased a 2017 Polaris Sportsman 850sp new. Hopefully I will not be creating threads in the repair section too often. Lol. From what I've seen you people have some great looking machines.

Temperature sensor issue, fan won’t shut off

I had an issue with my cooling fan not kicking on and traced it to the temp sensor on the radiator. I replaced the part and brought the machine up to temp and it kicked on. Problem solved, at least I thought until the fan didnt turn off. The first time I just pulled the plug after everything was cool to the touch. I tried again and waited 15 minutes after shutting off the machine before pulling the plug to the sensor. An infrared thermo showed the surface temp of the radiator was at 64 degrees when I pulled the plug. Once pulled I immediately plugged it back in and the fan stayed off. It seems like once the sensor completes the circuit it won't open again until power is cut.
Could this be a defective sensor?

2005 outlander max 400.
