01 sportsman 500 H.O

My 4wd quit, i have replaced both hillards, both armature plates, all is torqued properly, the fluid level is correct...

The speedo and AWD light work, and the gear position sensor seems to be working...but still nothing...

I pulled the front plastic and dashboard, everything seems to be grounded to the coil, it was rusted bad, cleaned it all up, still nothing.

Now, i noticed when i moved the unbolted dash, the engine will quit and not restart untill i put it back a certain way. I found a bare wire on the speed sensor right out of the plug, fixed that. Thought the issue was in the key switch, pulled it out, nope not that.

It seems to be in that main harness, or big speedo plug between the speedo head and the coil....

Is there a chance the stalling and 4wd issue is related? Any ideas?

help is greatly apperciated, im lost here.

What are the first year EFI models 500 and 700 Sportsman. Thanks

Hi guys, newbie to Polaris here. Bought daughter a 250 TrailBoss with bad tires. I bought a set of new takeoffs from a newer model. Her's has the small hub on rear, can I put the newer hubs on the rear so new tires and wheels will fit or is there an adapter? Thanks in advance.....

I have a 2016 Polaris 570. I installed a new fuel pump and when I turn the key on it does prime. But it won’t turn over? Any help is appreciated!

Hi Everyone: I thoroughly enjoy my '17 Outlander Max Ltd. It is the only ATV I've ever owned. I'm a rookie that started big.

I have a question. My machine is quite jerky when trying to get it moving. It is a bear to position the thing in the garage, or back into my trailer, or drive up the ramps to my trailer. I feel like a teenager learning to drive a manual transmission. I've come to applying brake pressure to control the jerks. In my old hydrostatic transmission days, we made a thing called an "inching valve" or a thing called an "acceleration valve" that allowed the machine to start smooth and move slowly so you could put it away in the shed without hitting the building.

I thought it was a new grabby belt. 40 hours later I'm wondering if the clutch engages too fast or something. Last week we were loading my friends Arctic Cat 700 TUV and his machine was smooth as butter.

I wonder if other big bore Outlander owners have experienced jerky operation and if they had a remedy for it; like belt, clutch adjustment, pulley surface finish, or clutch parts.

Has anyone tried a different carb configuration on a Polaris 500 4 stroke,,Thinking of a 475 Carb swap on my Big Boss 6x6 500

Hello i recently purchased a used 2014 renegade 500, all in all it was in really good shape and regularly maintained. My only concern is that when im riding if i let off the throttle and then get back on it i hear an audible "click" coming from the cvt. I dont know if this is normal or not so i figured i would ask.

What type oil do they recommend for 2007 Sportsman 800x2 ?

I just purchased a 16' Sportsman 570 with about 700 miles on it. Runs and drives fine, but I noticed that there seems to be a chattering sound coming from the transmission. Notice it the most when braking and when it's just being moved in neutral. I have heard the Polaris's seems to have noisey drive trains in general, I'm just not sure if this is normal. I could post a video of it jacked up and spinning the wheels if need be. Thanks.

I just received a clutch kit from RVS for a 2016 Sportsman 570 SP EPS and I had a question on the shims. There is a package with 2 spring engagement adjustment shims to raise the rpm engagement that go on the primary.

Normally when you shim a primary clutch it allows the belt to drop down further in the sheaves which gives you lower rpm engagement and more torque. But these shims are to raise the rpm engagement, am I missing something here? I have installed a lot of Heelclicker clutch kit years ago on many sportsmans and never had shims for the primary.

I just want low rpm engagement so I take it I would just not install the shims?

Thanks for any advice.
