Hey guys. I did a search on here and couldn’t find anything past the factory style heavy duty spring setups. My scrambler 400 4x4 is my main trail rider now. Often times my wife is on the back too. I’m almost 300lbs myself, she’s another 140 or so. We also have the big rear seat cargo box now. I’m sure getting my factory Fox shock rebuilt would help, but for the cost of rebuilding and even re-valving, I could get different suspension. I’m not sure the factory setup could be upgraded enough to handle the weight anyway. I’ve been looking at the idea of a RZR shock swap. They’re designed to hold up much more weight. I’ve had trouble finding specific dimensions on RZR shocks. Has anybody heard of or done this? If not, could I trouble you RZR guys to take some measurements? Preferably 1000s, 4 doors, turbos, etc... basically the heaviest RZR models as I only have one rear shock not 2

I have a 1998 Sportsman 500 4x4 that overall is in great shape, but the primary clutch is beyond rebuilding and sounds like a jackhammer at idle.
New from Polaris is $600+ so that's not feasible. Aftermarket from eBay or Amazon is $100 but they have a pretty awful reputation for coming apart.
Online searches I haven't been able to come up with a decent middle ground source for new or quality rebuilt clutches.
Anyone have suggestions on where to get something in the $300-ish range?

removed the swing arm and wonder how much larger should the hole in the frame be as compared to the bolt. Sure looks like there could be a bushing there but the parts list does not show anything just the parts that are installed in the swing arm and the bushing pressed into the transmission.

Any help would be great.

Been poking around looking at what guys are doing for LED headlight replacement. I dont mind doing the research at all but how in the heck do you find out the model # of OEM lights so you can cross check LED bulbs? Owners manual shows 50-60W; big deal-I couldnt find any part#s to cross check.

Also if you have a positive recommendation, I'm all ears...

Hello from France everyone !

This is my first post on this forum and I am opening a new thread as I was not able to find a solution to my issue.

I own a Polaris 500 6x6 from 2000 or 2001. The engine is dead and I wonder what engine I can use in order to do a motor swap.
I had a look at a Polaris parts dealer website, in order to find the engine references.

On my ATV, the engine is labelled EH500PLE100. However, on internet, I can find the reference EH50PLE10 in the specs. I suppose it refers to the same engine model.

I wonder if it's possible to swap the motor to a 2005 Sportsman HO. I found a used one with reference EH500PLE134.
But I have no idea if it's possible.

Has any of you performed such an exchange ? Can somebody tell me which engine could be compatible with my Sportsman ?

Thank you in advance for your help !

Tom
