About an hour in to the job and looking for suggestions. Have never torn into these dual A arm suspensions and I need to get this axle out. Front passenger side.

Do I need to disconnect both of these A arms from the machine side in order to get that out? Will the shock need to be removed too?

Before I tear it all down, is there an easier way to remove and drop in a new axle?

Thanks!!!!!

Having intermittent starting issue on my 2016 Polaris 450 HO (187 miles)..... Turn the key, lites and panel light up, brake on, in Park, and run switch is on, but does not engage starter. No clicking, nothing.

Try again later, starts right up. Take it for a short ride. Turn it off. Won't start again.

Tried it this morning (thought it was overheating on short ride), but nothing.

A little while later, tried it again, now it starts.

A little concerning if it happens when you are miles from anywhere and no way to manually start it.

Any ideas?

My 2014 sportsman xp 850 has no power steering and battery indicator is on.... I have a brand new battery and a good voltage regulator in it..... Could this be the stator has or is going bad? It is staring fine. checked the voltage while the bike is running and is reading 14.68.... When it is off it is around 12.28. Thank you for you're time

I got a new engine and I’m ready to put it in. But it seems I have run into problems. I believe the gear in the middle should not be there and I’m at a loss.

I am in the process of rebuilding a 1995 Magnum 2x4. I installed a new stator and have it running well.

Curious if anyone has any pictures of how the wiring for the stator is ran from the engine to the front. Mainly, I am curious as to how the stator wiring runs in the front of the machine -- does it run through some of the holes in the front "A" section by the steering shaft or does it run underneath this area.

Also, besides carb vent tubes, oil tank vent (going to airbox) gearcase vent tube and the gas tank vent tube in the steering column, are there any other vent tubes?

The CVT vent tube goes to a hole in the frame, correct?

Thanks!

2018: Should I get a 850 xt + buy elka shocks, or just get the xtp with the fox?

1900$ price diff. elkas are 1500. 400 left (pays for beadlocks, gauges, etc...) buying separate wheels would cost me 6-700$ so if I want good shocks and beadlocks, better with the xtp I guess?

So what should I get?

(regarding the 850 vs 1000, imo, 850 is plenty of power and I don't really see why I would need a 1000.... at that point IMO it's just better if I get skids +windshield instead....) opinion?
I mostly do slow trail anyway...

Hi. I have a polaris trail boss 330 from 2003. Bought it used half a year ago. Running great. Had some issues the last weeks, where i started to smell like hot electronics or plastic.noticed the plastic covers on the side had touched the exhaust an melted a bit. But it continued. One day i noticed some smoke coming from the front. Just a little. I then pulled of the front plastic cover and saw, that what I believe is the ECM was smoking from "inside" and the plastic in there was melted along with the connectors being fried. It stopped when I stopped the machine from running. Have then seen the same issue again.

I noticed a recall on the ECMs from that period and I have writen Polaris here in Denmark to find out if my bike is covered.

What else could be the cause of this? Is there something I should check?
Engine hot light doesn't work and I have never heard the oil cooler fan running. Read some where that this could be related to faulty ECM as well. Also some two times I have experienced that I could start the bike and ride it for 30 mins and stop and then I could not start again, because there was not enough power to turn the motor round. Charging for 15mins made it start. Don't know if this gives any clues.

Thanks in advance.
Kim
