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:
