Wheel Wobble (Possible Ball Joint)

Hey Guys,

Was out the other day, and someone pointed out that my front wheel was all over the place. Lifted the bike today and this is what I found, it is a 2017 with 1700km on it.

Is this the ball joint gone or possible wear in the knuckle? Also would this be covered under warranty?

Thanks in advance!

2017 Sportsman 850SP phantom check engine light?

29 hours on it. Had the 20 hour service done at the dealer a month or two ago, no issues. I take great care of my stuff.

Today I am riding and the check engine light comes on. No change in how it runs, seems fine, had to ride several miles back to the truck with it on. Starts fine, runs strong, nothing seems out of place.

Tried to hold down the MODE button to get into the settings and see if it throws a diagnostic code, and I can scroll through all the settings, but at no point does it show me anything to do with diagnostics or a code. Nothing at all.

If not for the stupid engine light being on, I wouldn't know anything was amiss.

I see in other threads that it's a known issue with some ECU's, with no remedy? How will I know if there is some sort of problem and that I need to turn the motor off and get it to the dealer?

Thoughts?

Renegade suspension adjustment

I want to stiffen my rear suspension on my 07 renegade 800 but the adjustment bit isn't moving, even with a spring clamp. Does anyone have any advice on how to sort this out?

Hi-temp/limp mode/coolant overflowing

Went riding this past Wednesday and my 2015 renegade 500 started to give me the hi-temp/limp mode home message. As well as coolant over flow. However I just replaced the coolant in February before going down to the Hatfield&McCoy trails and the thing ran fine down there for 3 days of straight riding. But now on a day trip of riding for maybe 4 hours it starts to overheat? Radiator is not clogged either. I haven’t heard the fan kick on either. Don’t know if that is why it is overheating.
I should add that this is my girlfriend bike and she is the only one that rides and but when it started over heating I was the one riding it and I was pushing the bike a lot harder than she does but I don’t think that’s why it started over heating. Plus she was riding it earlier in the day anyways. It just happened out of no where. I don’t see coolant leaking from anywhere other than the overflow hose either. Need help please!!

Removing oil/gas section on 1986

Hi - just starting to rehab an old 1986 trail boss 250 I just picked up. I haven’t worked on Polaris atvs before and I’d like to take off the engine, clean carb, etc. I’ve removed most of the necessary outer parts and I’m left with the oil/gas section to remove. I got all the bolts off except the 2 in the front that are incredibly difficult to get to. However I am able to turn them and turn them and turn them. The section loosened up a lot but seems there is a nut underneath the section that I will need to hold to get these final 2 front bolts off.

I looked at the 1985-1999 service manual but it isn’t showing the same setup that I have. There are no “tabs” and the headlight is connected above the handlebar instead of this section I’m trying to remove.

Anyone know the trick to getting this section off?
