I just bought a polaris trailboss 250 2x4 the frame says w88---- figure it means its an 88. However the engine says 87. Well i paid 72$ for this ride just needed carb cleaned and exhaust hooked up. Rode for a few weeks no issues. Well my throttle cable snapped. Im having an extremely difficult time finding a new one.

Can some one please point me in the right direction.


Ive already went out and bought another trail boss hoping could just swap but they are different. That engine says its an 88.

Thanks.

Hi guys, back to my XMR570, I saw on ebay some EPI springs for primary and secondary clutches.
What does this springs represent? Is there any use of them? How to choose the needed one? Is that a good idea at least ?:grin

I've got a 1999 big boss that idles rich, it starts good & runs good. It's so bad it smokes & smells like gas, what do I need to do? Any help would be much appreciated, getting expensive feeding it.

Looking for 1987 and 88 trail boss 250 2x4 parts. Lastyzultz2@gmail.com thanks

Cant decide if I want the expanded metal over the headlights or not. Also looking for light bar options. Post up pics of your 2005-2010 Sportsman 500 with the Guru up front so I can get some ideas. Thanks!

We are able to legally drive atv's on the roads here in South Dakota and one of the requirements is a horn. Sure I could mount it anywhere in that cavernous beast but if there are any European brethren reading this is appreciate it if you could post a pic where can am thinks best. Thank you!

I have a 2015 Sportsman 850 which appears to have coolant getting in and mixing with the motor oil. Previously the mechanical water pump seal was replaced, and I believe it seated properly. After a ride out one cold night and going through some water crossing I noticed that the bike was losing power and blowing smoke out the exhaust with the temp light on. Breaking the seal to the air box revealed a vanilla milkshake pooled up in the bottom of the box. Checking to see if it was just water, (snorkels never went under) I flushed the oil about three or four times (including a new filter). Each time the oil appeared to be slightly milky with a greyish coloring and watered down. Throughout the flushing process I also filled up the radiator and put coolant in the overflow tank. It seemed that coolant was visually being pulled from the tank as you could see bubbles in the hose. The vent from the water pump housing was also dripping what I believe is just coolant. Running the bike in between each flush there was no evidence of smoke from the exhaust, however there was a misting of fluid entering the airbox. Otherwise the bike idled fine. Does anyone have any suggetions on how to narrow this down? Idk if it is just the mechanical water pump seal again, the oil seal behind that, head gasket, etc. Any suggestions or recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks.

Just wanted to say hi to the forum... I’m new to the forum but, I’ve had a Can-Am for almost two years and I love it..

Can you tell me what lug nuts I would need to purchase? I just purchased new 12x7 black hurricane wheels for my 2018 sportsman 450. I would like to go with black lug nuts. I ordered some from Rocky mtn atv in 3/8x24 with 14mm heads. I talked to them and they said these would not fit the wheels, that I would need the tapered spline but I'm not finding these anywhere. Do I need to go with 10mm head or 12mm head? I'm confused :/

I recently read the post about what the biggest tires you could fit on a stock Polaris 570 2016(which is what I have) was, but have a few more questions. I would like to put 14 inch Alloy Wheels with 4+3 offset with 27 inch Mega Mayhems on them. Would this work on my stock polaris, or should I put a 2 inch lift on it? And with the lift would I have to get better axles to hold the bind or would stock still work alright? I'm new to messing with tires and stuff but the stock tires just aren't doing it for me anymore. Thank you!
