Hey
well out today doing some work on the property and decided to check for downed trees. came back to the house and about 50 feet from house quad started bogging , was like I was running out of gas. Stopped and turned off. checked gas tank and almost full. (fuel gauge not working , stays at full ). then turned key to hear the efi sound was very different and the quad wouldn't start.
no codes came up and it just wouldn't start. gave it a sec once I did a look over things and it finally started but seemed to be starving for fuel.
took the front apart to see if I could notice anything and didn't . but did see the fuel filter well I was very surprised as I read on this forum that the filter is inside the tank and is not serviceable .
I'm sure I did anyways
Polaris Sportsman 500 700 800 EFI 2006 2007 2008 2009 Bosch Fuel Filter - 2520464 from ebay.ca and ordered.
took a pic with my phone and sorry its hard to get to when all back together .
I'm going to assume that this is the oem filter and has never been changed so hopefully the quad will run better.
while I'm waiting for part the noise that the efi made would that be maybe the fuel pump going and will need to be replaced aswell you think?
thanks
oh just noticed the photo is upside down. sorry.
Glenn.

Hey guys, my father in law has a 2001 polaris sportsman explorer 400 I believe. He's been having problems with it charging the battery since he bought it, if he has the headlights on and hand warmers at the same time it'll kill the battery and so on. Well I got a text from him today saying that the last time it was being used it blew up the lights in the speedometer, the tail lights, the light for the 4 wheel drive and now his fan doesn't work anymore ( the fan was on a toggle switch since the relay wasn't working properly and we kept it on most of the time). He told me the previous owner replaced the stator and I believe he has a newer battery in it, to me it sounds like a voltage regulator issue, anybody know what kind of resistance I should have when I test the circuits? Unfortunately we have about 130km between us so it's not something I can go check real quick however I will be there this weekend. Thanks guys, and if you have any ideas on what to check let me know.

Hi guys,
Is there a problem for the rear shock getting heated up by the exhaust gases on the left side or should I just ride? I cant touch the shock or spring after 10min riding! The center shock is just fine, no problem but the one blasted by the gases is super hot. This cant be good?

Hello,
Has any one snorkeled there XP 1000 with out having to come up through the front storage box? I don’t always go through deep water but want to be protected.
Thank you.

The front of my machine was backed into pretty hard recently and since then my front storage box hasn't closed the same or latched tightly. I was surprised to see that nothing was obviously broken or even scratched on my machine. I don't even have a front grill guard either. To me it looks like the bracket that holds the front storage lid has been bent up slightly and I assume it should be flat. I couldn't find a clear picture of the bracket on the web so I would appreciate if someone could upload a photo of theirs. I'll try and get a shot of mine too. Thank you!

Hi All, I have a 2017 Sportsman 450 HO. Am I correct in assuming my AGL transmission fluid ALSO lubricates the back differential (rear gearcase)? Meaning when I change the tranny fluid I don't need to do anything further for the back differential? Also assuming the Polaris Angle Drive Fluid has no use in my machine? The owners manual say to change the rear gearcase fluid if equipped which is confusing me.

Thanks for the help :top:
