Have a quiet question. I have a 2016 renny 850, and I love it. On the last couple of rides I noticed that my front fenders and clips have been coming loose. The center piece over the air box will come loose and rattle during rides. Is this common? I plan to strip the whole front end down and check for anything loose on the supports. Any feedback would help, thanks.

My wifes rene broke its drive shaft. Already have the new drive shaft and ready to install. Just read about these speedi-sleeves. Any one use them and is it necessary before I put everything back together. I have a new wear ring and oil seal. Thanks
The AMSOIL Snowshoe event is one of the most anticipated rounds of the AMSOIL Grand National Cross Country (GNCC) Series, an AMA National Championship, and this year it was no different. This event is a tribute race dedicated to the infamous and legendary Blackwater 100 as it honors that historical race each year. With an abundance of rainfall prior to the race, and on-and-off showers through the race, the GNCC ATV riders would try and conquer a very wet and treacherous mountain.
Hello all,
New to the forum and just inherited an 87 trailboss 250 4x4. I’m having issues with sourcing brake hoses. Two of the 4 are plugged and I think the master cylinder is toast. I’ve scoured the interwebs and Polaris part catalogue and most everything is no longer available. Wondering if anyone has any suggestions for getting the front and rear hoses. Also I saw that the master cylinder seals are still available but once I looked them up they didn’t quite look right. Has anyone ever rebuilt these old masters with new seals?
Who can tell me where or how to buy one? I'm going to add a yosh pipe to the bike and want to add a tuner as well. Bom seems to get a pretty consistent nod from riders all around so I figured Id go with it. Thanks
I recently replaced the entire carb on my 2004 Sportsman 500 H.O. I went out farting around for about 20 minutes on it and it died on me. It died after i would be coming down a slight hill and after lifting the front end off a very small hill.
Now it refuses to start. It turns over quite a bit but wont start up. I also put a new spark plug in when i changed the carb. Like i said; it was running for about 20 minutes until i started to whip shitties and gun it over the small hills.
Any ideas? I thought maybe fuel pump. I changed the carb because it was bogging out at higher speeds and then i couldnt get a jet out of the old carb and just said eff it and bought a new one.

What is the micro switch in the throttle control of a 96, 250 Trail Boss, used for? Is that what is refered to as the “ETC SWITCH” in the circuit diagram in the Haynes manual? it shows normally open, and closed if a “Fault” condition... ???
I just rebuilt the top end on it, as well as the carb. Bike starts right up, but the idle sucks. No pressure on the thumb lever.. it dies... if I hold slight pressure it runs, but if I turn handlebars to the right engine dies.
I opened throttle box up thinking throttle cable has stretched, but what I found, was it was badly corroded inside, took all apart, and cleaned it up, but while I was in there, I noticed the throttle cable appears to be sticking somewhat, the cable is slow to be pulled back into the sleeve after pressure on the thumb lever is released... can those be lubricanted? And if so what type grease.
I know, when I was putting it back together, I may have re-routed the cable incorrectly or maybe pinched in there someplace between the tank and the frame... I’m going to pull the tank back off and check that out.
Fuel/air mixture screw seems best about 1 3/4 turns out but idle adjust screw makes absolutely no difference... all the way in or all the way out, does not change revs at all. To keep engine running, I must keep slight pressure on the lever.
Any thoughts would sure be appreciated.
