Sadly no ATV's involved on this one, but still a successful hunt.

My brother drew a once in a lifetime moose tag for Washington. and Sunday he filled it.

Taken with a Muzzle loader, 66 yard shot, hit in the neck = Instant lights out/dropped like a stone. We got lucky as he was 15 yards up slope of a road, and we had a Chainsaw winch, and a saw to clear a path. 4 hours from downed to loaded and headed back to camp. guestimating between 1000 and 1200 lbs live weight. 37" spread, 9/11 points, and 9.5" paddle.

Hey everyone, I’ve been having an issue with my 2011 850 as of lately. It seems that once it gets hot it limits itself in both power and rpm (sounds like you’re in reverse without depressing the override button). It does this whether it is in reverse or a forward gear. If I put it in neutral or park it revs just fine and sounds like full power until I place it back into gear. It’s been an intermittent issue the last few weeks. However, yesterday I had to be towed in as it decided to do it again. This time after cutting out for a short period of time, the bike lost complete engine power. At this point the starter wouldn’t even turn over although the bike still had power on the cluster. Once we got home (a couple miles away) it seemed it cooled enough and started/ran like nothing was ever wrong. I’m thinking a possible relay or something getting hot but don’t have the knowledge that some of you may.

One person recommended cleaning throttle position sensor, I figure it doesn’t hurt so I’ll do that soon although I don’t feel that’ll be the solution.

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Will the stock wheels and tires from a 2017 Sportsman 1000 fit on a 2006 Sportsman 800 without any modifications? From what I'm reading it looks like there a slightly different size. Thanks.

Hello all, Im the process of rebuilding a 05 sportsman 500 that sat outside for 6 years in the Vegas sun and if that's no bad enough it appears to have been rolled numerous times and then some ideal parts removed... lets just say its been the opposite of fun.

Two things; The Sportsman 500 you and others helped me with is still going strong. Thanks again.

Next; We had a bit of an accident with the Razer I think everyone should see & perhaps profit from.
If you would email me at tlc2235@hotmail.com I will send them to you for you to put here as
posting them is still above my pay grade. Pictures really need to be seen as they are almost unbelievable.
Thanks again, Tom/Idaho

1999 Sportsman 500, replaced carb with aftermarket model today. Bike will fire and idle without any issue, but bogs and eventually dies when given throttle. I noticed when putting the throttle cable on the carb that the outer sheath pulls out of the carb end, when I try to put the side plastics back on the idle can be vastly adjusted just by moving the cable. I’m thinking the cable probably needs to be replaced. The choke cable doesn’t seem to have much movement after being reinstalled....that may be my bogging issue, also what is the correct routing for the choke cable?
