Hey guys, just joined. I have been a long time atv owner/rider, tinkerer, and outdoorsman. This is my first new age Polaris (owned a 96 scrambler 400 at one time). I just purchased a 2013 Polaris sportsman 500 ho used, I was told it was Factory with the exception of the 27" tires. Well I was lied to and have so far found aftermarket rear axles and what I believe is a 2" lift (I have found front shock spacers, rear lower shock relocation brackets, and what I believe are extended sway bar links). I have a few questions.

1. Is there anything more to lowering it down than getting the Factory sway bar links and Factory hardware and removing the spacers/shock brackets? Or are there pieces that I am unaware of that need to be removed also?

2. Will my 27" tires fit without the lift?

3. Is the lift over stressing anything other than the cv joints?

Hi,guys.

While changing the oil on our 2012 850 xp .The dipstick was not seated correctly and when we started the engine it broke the dipstick off. We stopped the engine as soon as we realized what happened. We looked in the oil dipstick port and did not see anything . We drained the oil and did find several small pieces of plastic from the dip stick. We refilled and drained 4 times and did get a few more pieces. I will change the filter again and cut it open to see if there is any material in the oil filter. Any suggestions on what to do next ? Am I going to have to pull engine and take off oil pan? Do I run for awhile and do several quick oil changes ? Really Really need some help and advice. Thanks so much for the help and advice

Hello guys. So yesterday I sunk my bike up to below the seat. It stalled out. I got it winched out
Got a lot of water out of the exhaust and pulled the plug. Turned in over a bunch and shoot all the water out. Air box has some sandy mud in the bottom but the filter and filter bag were dry and nice and clean ( only 50 km on the damn bike) cleaned out the mud.
Checked the motor oil. Looks brand new with no milky oil. I pulled the red drain plug in the bottom of the CVT housing.
Still worn start. I’ve left the spark plug out for tonight in my shop to dry out the cylinder more.
But I’m not sure about the cvt area. The water was really muddy and sandy. Beside pulling everything apart. What am I’m supose to do to clean it out back to new again ?

So with my axle broken I went to ride with my buddy in his RZR n we immediately got a flat. So we took the wheels and tires from my Highlifter and bolted them onto the RZR. After easily getting some serious mud he offered to buy the tires off me. I want to put 32's on mine but don't know if they'll fit. I feel like I remember reading the main clearance spot is the rear left on the snorkel, if that's the only one I would rather take my tire cutter n trim the treads rather than lifting and widening it. Anybody put 32's on theirs yet?

Ive got an 07 renegade 800.

All of a sudden, my wheeler has decided to play dead.

Ive got no dash, no fuel pump, nothing

Good battery, good connections, good fuses, brand new ignition switch, cleaned kill switch.

Nothing.

Getting power to fuse box, but apparently nothing is happening.

Any help or where to check next suggestions are welcome.
