Polaris Highlifter 850

Anyone having issues with their Highlifter? I have a 2017 850 Highlifter that has been nothing but trouble since week 1 off the showroom floor. Instrument cluster shows the trans is in Neutral when it’s in Low range, therefore the 4 wheel drive won’t engage. Also does this in Reverse. Very frustrating. This has to be a wiring harness issue I would think.

I'm new owner of 10 hour Maverick 1000R Xxc, that was left outside and uncared for over the last 6 months. In SW Florida. Doing my cleaning and liquid level reviews before any serious riding. No owners manual.:sad
Overflow tank for Radiator is empty? Something to be concerned and what type of antifreeze should be added? Unit had all the decals stripped off - Any idea where to buy? Other than CanAm, would like to have some custom colors to match Back Country Jeep. Need a roof and rear bumpers too!! Looking forward to the help - Thanks in advance.

850 sportsman Tires

Is it ok to purchase tires that have a slightly larger width? My Carlisle tires are 26x8-14 & 26x10-14. I am looking to purchase 26x9-14 & 26x11-14. Is this ok to do?

2004 400 XT HO running poor

I have a problem that is getting the best of me. My machine is running like the choke is on but it is not. I've taken the carb apart and cleaned it three different times and installed a new spark plug to have no change in how it runs. Anyone have any suggestions on what to try next?

Finally Found a Company – Stay Tuned

I’ve been searching for a company willing to make an MX style seat cover for the Scrammy for quite a while. I’ve found a few but none able to make it without paying to ship my seat to them and then paying to ship it back, taking the bill way above the worth of the seat cover, until now.
As I enjoy a very spirited style of riding, outside of the factory suspension and lack of bottom end, the one main area I feel the Scrambler really lacks in stock form is the seat cover. Way too slippery, especially once muddy and wet.
Speaking of mud... Mud Motorsports created a seat cover for Teixera when they were having a magazine article documented on the Scrambler modifications they’ve manufactured through a lot of R&D.
I came up with a rough draft as seen attached. The only change I’ve made is removing the Polaris lettering from the sides, wasn’t worth another $50 to me.
Anyway stay tuned for the final product once I receive it.
