My buddy had some mice pack his air box full of cat food. First time he turned it over it sucked the cat food into the engine. Yup time for a new one to the tune of $4500.00 dealer installed. He wants to sell the old one. Cases are good. Dealer removed the head and removed the cam but reinstalled the head with just a few bolts. Cam is in a bag. Looks like maybe the timing gear came off the crank so I don't know if internals are ok or not. It had around 1400 miles on it when the mice attacked. He wants $400.00 for it but won't ship it. It is in Schoolcraft mi. 49087 If interested email me at DSIMMONS5@COPPER.NET
Thanks.

It will idle.... sort of.... but when I rev it up, its stumbles and dies. It has been sittin for a couple years. I pulled the bowl off and gave it a good cleaning. No luck. Does it need a rebuild kit?

2015 bought new with 215 hours on it. Polaris wanted $380 for a whole pump assembly. I ordered a CNT pump off amazon for $59. I unsoldered the connections and
re soldered the new pump in. Primed it 6 times and it fired right up. Power is back. The OEM pump was a Bosch made in China. I hope this will be the end of these issues. To be continued.....

I have a 2017 renegade xxc 850. I've tried what it seems every single possible shock set up. My issue is my front I have set about as stiff as I believe the shocks can be set. Rebound slow and fast shock settings and also the spring is about as tight as it has to go. Jumping whoops and landing on bumps it still seems to wanna bottom out. What else can I do? Also the back shocks on my wheeler I have loosened every single thing to the softest setting I possibly can and my rear end is whicked stiff. Stiff like if I push down on it with my body weight it bairly compresses. Makes it ride harder then a lumber wagon on our rough pennsylvania trails. It also doesn't seem to rebound very well even having the rebound adjusted fast. Any one got any good info? I know everyone rides different and everyone enjoys the suspension set up differently. I'm just looking for a base line to help fix my issues

Welcome hmf!! I always run your exhaust love the sound and performance.
I'd love to entertain a possibility of buying you hmf for my 2016 commander 800.
Do we get a discount?
Do we have to change fuel curves?
Any products you need tested?
Let me know if there's anything I can do to help.
Regardless could I get a price?

Thanks!

Ok so just as it says.. I have always loved the look of a lifted can am.
I have been flirting with the idea to lift. I know obviously this will change the angle to the cv shaft.
However, to what extent is the angle of the cv shaft before you are in the cv's danger zone for wear.
I know these a lot of kits out there. What's your take on these kits. What do you all recommend.
Lastly, reason for wanting more clearance...
last weekend I went into a rather deep mud hole. I decided against it due to the fact I don't have a winch yet installed(have it purchased... waiting for the specific mounting bracket to come from local dealer)
When I backed up I snagged on something.
That something ripped the whole front fascia of the machine and destroyed it.
Just ordered the front fascia and piece needed to do the repair. 250.00 (ouch!)
And my first thought? You got it! That's the price of a lift kit!!! Lmao

how fast are these quads and how well are they built??

Hey everyone, I am working on this 2004 Polaris Sportsman 500, there is a line coming out the bottom of the carb, but I can't figure out where the fuel line connects to. It has a filter and a rubber boot on it, otherwise i would assume its some kind of drain. It comes straight out the bottom of the carb, then there is a filter, and another fuel line off the filter with a rubber boot on the end of it. I don't see it anywhere in the service manual, or any photos online. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks everybody : )

Hello everyone, I recently purchased a 2006 Polaris Sportsman EFI as a fixer up er. In the process of fixing it up I noticed that every time I started the it up that the header/exhaust manifold was smoking as a result of being in contact with oil. Initially I assumed the oil was leaking from the header.

After further investigation that was not the case. The culprit is what appears to be a missing oil outlet hose of some sort, that is spraying engine oil directly on the header. The "Oil outlet" (for lack of a better name) is right above the oil pump inlet and out let hoses. (see attached picture)

If anyone has any idea what might be missing or what that outlet might be i would greatly appreciate the help!
