Have any of you guys installed the plow mount and everything by yourself? was just curious if someone who has a good amount of mechanical skills could install one without issues? The dealer install fees kind of scare me a little. Just sounds cheaper if it costs me a couple beers, a pizza, and a couple hours with my dad in the garage versus paying the dealer 3-4 hours in shop time
500 engine wont run right
I have a 2001 Polaris sportsman 500. I just rebuilt the top end of the engine. it did not run before I got it. because the flywheel keeper pin was sheered off.
anyways I got that fixed it would try to start but wouldn't. so I rebuilt the top end and used the head from a 425 new jug new piston and rings also gaskets no valve stem seals as they were good due to the 425 just being rebuilt. also set the valves to spec checked the cam and did all that got a new carb sadly it was for a h.o. version. but I had an extra boot so I open the breather intake a bit make it fit now it idles and idles good but wont run. unless you very slowly rev the engine to higher rpm or it sputters real bad will eventualy rev but its like its running really lean and as you let off the throttle it dies. also getting spark while dying but before you jump and say its the carb I put the old carb on and still doing it but worse. so I ordered a brand new carb o.e.m to spec NOT CHEAP and i'm going to see if that does the trick but if it doesn't witch its prolly not going to any suggestions would be great and please dont ask me if I did something thats already written in the thread PLEASE HELP ME

2014 Sportsman 400HO Lights
On my 2014 Sportsman 400HO all lights quit working, front and rear including the brake lights. I cant find a wiring schematic for this model. Does anyone have a schematic or tell me what I should check. Any help is appreciated.
2017 Sportsman Touring XP 1000 Tire Recommendation
Found out that the stock Polaris tires on the 2017 Sportsman Touring XP 1000 (and others, I guess) are "Not for Highway Use." (But you can license them for "street legal." Huh...)
All the decent trails are a minimum of 20 minutes away by highway. So...I figure my desired riding will be about 25% highway (40 mph and above)/75% trail.
What are your guys' recommendation for tires in this situation?

Can am won’t start
I’ve got a 2009 Can am outlander, with an 800cc engine that won’t start. It cranks but does not sound exactly correct. The fuel pump works. Fire to both spark plugs. All the fuses seem to be ok. Air filter is clean. It will only start if we pour fuel directly into the butterfly under the air filter. We’ve tried troubleshooting but so far have not been successful. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
AMSOIL Snowshoe GNCC Women’s Race Report
On the weekend of June 23 and 24, the ninth round of the 2018 AMSOIL Grand National Cross Country (GNCC) Series, an AMA National Championship took place at the Snowshoe Mountain Resort. Snowshoe is one of the more gnarly races on the GNCC circuit, as well as one of the toughest courses in the country. In a throwback to the famed Blackwater 100, the start is a live-engine downhill start on the main street of Snowshoe village.

2013 800 XTP Shifting Issue
Always difficult shifting into reverse or park. While installing the interfaces between the clutch cover and the clutch exhaust tubing I noticed three ground wires were bonded to the top hole of a bracket, right side of quad, that interfered with the shift mechanism. On this bracket are four holes. Two have connectors attached and a third has, on these quads, a bolt with four washers and a rounded nut. I cut the tie wrap on the 10 gauge black ground connector and moved this wire with two other grounds to the hole just below the top mounting hole of the bracket and used the bolt with the four washers to bond the grounds. Correcting the ground bonding moved the 10 gauge wire away from the motion of the shift linkage and no longer interferes with the motion of reverse and park.
During production the line worker found a quick way to bond the grounds but this interfered with the shifting into reverse and park.
