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?

Can the factory xt model shocks be mounted in an inverted position? As in shaft side down?

Hi guys I'm a newbie to the forum and atv's I recently purchased 2 Polaris predator 90 a2004 and a 2006 from some one, I know they have oil injection pumps but the 2006 one he told me the oil pump was bypassed due to the pump went bad so I have to mix my oil with gas what I want to know what 2cycle is recommended and what ratio to use?

Thanks Attachment 82392

Greetings friends..
My 2016 1000k has a loss of EPS at speeds over 30mph and usually during rough terrain. The illuminating idiot light and steering loss only lasts 2-3 seconds. I tried powering off all electronics nav,lights, etc. but no dice. I do have the oversized battery in the machine, from a polaris ranger.
In my searches I found many had a relay issue, dirty or loose.. my fuse box is dry n clean, prongs on relay look factory clean. Is there something that I’m overlooking here?
Thank you

Do any Polaris machines have filters on the air intake for the clutch housing?
I have a couple of 570 Sportsmans, and at just over 1k miles the primary and secondary clutches need rebuilt. The dealer said it's because of the dust. But they say it can't be filtered because of heat issues. But someone told me that Razors have filters?
And of course, all the failed parts are wearable items, so my extended warranties are worthless.
This is just a BS design flaw that they're blaming on the riders. They say I have to have it "serviced" more often than 500 miles. So, if thats true, I've concluded the Sportsman 570 is a straight piece of crap, and if Polaris knows this is a problem then they too, are pieces of crap.

i recently got the 97 scrambler 500 4x4 and it cranked and ran great for the first month then i had to replace starter and solenoid and i went to Polaris and purchased factory oils and gear lube and i did a service. now even though my batt has 12.6v it will only start if i connect the ac batt charger. then it runs fine until shut off. can anyone give me some suggestions on why that is?

I am in the market for a 2 seater. I previously had an 05 Sportsman 500HO. Some things drove me away. EBC and single lever braking got me in trouble at times. I now have a newer Grizzly 700 SE. There's nothing I dislike about it, but I have a need to pack 2 up on occasion.
The Yamaha is dead nuts reliable and works very well.
Are the newer generation units more effective in terms of ADC and EBS. I know there is a fix for the single lever braking if I don't feel that I am adapting.
I live and ride in NE NV. I live at 5700' and routinely ride to 10,000' I do 125 mile rides often. Mostly remote 50 year old 2 tracks.
What can I expect in performance and reliability with an 18 or 19 Sportsman 850 or 1000? Does the 1000 get appreciably worse fuel economy?
Any information you could share would be appreciated!

It was weighed fully setup with how I ride it. Full trunk on back, two full 3gal RotoPax and my front bags loaded with a bunch of tools, air compressor, belt, etc. Also have my rear cargo area plum full with tow straps and bungees.

Basically like you see it in my avatar, but with the Can Am soft bags on the front rack and not the big trunk with chainsaw.

1,190 lbs!

Add me, 200lbs, and you are talking about a 1,400lb setup. Yep, and it still gets air just fine when riding the Harrison Hills/Parish highlands trails north of me.
