Hey All,

I'll start out with I've seen other threads about this issue, but none of them have a solution for my machine. So I'm starting another one in the hopes somebody somewhere has found a solution to this problem.

Some background information as to what I have tested and replaced:

1. I have tested every electrical connection and component associated with this system and all are in good working order. The coil resistance meets spec., the coil magnetizes when 12v are directly applied.
2. The connection from the override button is good, when pressed, 12v is sent to the coil and the speedo shows the wheeler is in 4 wheel drive. Checked with a DVOM.
3. The halleffect sensor on the front hub tested good.
4. The roll cage/sprague carrier was replaced yesterday. So the diff was fully cleaned and fluids are new.
5. Armature plate looked to be in good condition when inspected while the diff was apart.

So after all the electrical testing and replacing the broken Sprague carrier, reassembling the wheeler and testing it. The 4 wheel drive or AWD, whatever you prefer to call it, works fine in High and Low gear, but still does not engage in reverse.

At this point I am stumped, not sure what to test next or what the issue is since it works in High and Low and not in reverse. Any and all suggestions are appreciated. I just want to get the damn thing working again.

Also it stopped working in April while plowing the heavy late snow we had here in Minnesota. Not sure if that's helpful in finding a solution, just putting it our there.

Thanks in advance,
Chris

I'm considering purchasing an 800 Maverick Trail with power steering. What is top speed?
I have a pickup truck with a 6'9" box. Is it possible to load a Maverick Trail into the box with the tailgate down of course.

hay friends,i have a Polaris 300 express air cooled atv.had carb rebuilt several times and and does good for about the first 5 starts then it goes down hill,until it will not start.rebuild carb and start the cycle all over again.any ideals? I don't nor does dealer.any help? thanks

My wife and I got new ATVs last year, her the 450HO and me the 570. The 570 has larger tires, more displacement, and more power in seat of the pants dyno test. The 450HO has plenty for what she wants to do with it, just putt around we have a lot of land and tons of private and public trails out our back door.

Anyways, I never got any specifics about the 450HO motor. We have 2017 model years. I read somewhere a while ago, forget where, that earlier 450s were actually 570s de-tuned and that you could put a 570 CDI on the 450HO and get more HP, but not for 2017?? I was somewhat under the impression that 570 had DOHC while 450 had Single OverHead Cam. I haven't ripped into the motors to check! I also thought that the 450HO has a displacement of 500cc (I think that's what she registered it as).

If it's been hashed out before somewhere, could someone send me a link to read about these things? The specifics of the differences in the two motors, and even how they evolved to this point if that info is out there. Thanx in advance.

would the track/chenille an attache from a ranger 900 2011 will fit on a ranger 800 2012 ??

He really does amazing work, I sent my dirty nasty cylinder that caused my piston to break the piston skirt on the intake side. He cleaned it bored it to the supplied piston and rings clearanced and gaped the rings and chamfed the ports in less then a week. It was just about a week turn around time and a great price.What a great guy with a lot of knowledge, sir it was a pleasure doing business with you and an absolute pleasure chatting with you, I will be sending anymore projects that I need your help with straight to you.

Hello, I’m new to both Can-Ams and this forum so please bare with me and forgive me if I’m posting this in the incorrect section or place.

I recently purchased a 2012 Outlander 1000XT and am looking into some new wheels/tires brings the tires on it are nearly shot. I’ve read a few forums and decided I’d prefer to go 14” wheels (same size front and back), but unsure of what width rim/tire to run. Does running the same size front and rear rims/tires cause problems with rubbing up front when steering? Preferring to stay within the 26”-28” tire height dimensions (leaning towards 27” bighorns at 12” wide all around).

If anyone has any suggestion or images of what’s they’ve done I’d be more than happy to hear your opinions as well!

Thanks in advance, and again I apologize if this is posted in the wrong location

My wear bar on bottom of my plow is wore to the change point. Looks like I can just reverse it for another winter. Am I correct or should I install another one?

Thank you for this forum. Looking forward to great Polaris info. I have a 2013 Polaris Sportsman 500 HO and a 2018 Polaris Sportsman 570 LE. Just used for hunting and now for leisure.

How tight should the magnet grab the armature plate? Still have no AWD, im getting power everywhere and magnet at the coil, hilliards are expanding but you can stop the hub with your foot. With the system energized i can spin the hilliard/plate combo by hand??
