Hi just getting into ATVs purchased a 2000xplorer and a 2002 scrambler 500 hopeing to get out to enjoy them soon.

Looking for a set of 4 steel wheels from a 18-19 Sportsman 850SP......

While trying to adjust the throttle cable I took the cover off the handlebar end and found what looks to be a vacuum type line split along the side to allow the cable to be inserted. The vacuum type line had been placed into the throttle cable guide and is just over an inch long. Did someone install this to keep the contacts from touching? It is does not seem possible to properly adjust the cable. I removed the vacuum type line and now the cable pops out of the thumb control when I release it to quickly. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Seeing if anyone has any interest in the Cheese Trail Saturday April 20th?

I have to put a few shake down miles on the new 850...

RND said he would like to try out an easy ride to test the shoulder surgery repair....???

Ended up busting the front diff and pinion cover in a mud hole and am wanting to know about how much it would be to replace the front diff and pinion cover. Also where to get the best upgraded pinion plate for it as well??

I need to order brake pads. Rear for sure, might need fronts as well. What brand is most recommended? Braking ability is preferred over brake pad life.

Once its running it is great and starts right up time after time. but cold start is hard to start it..Any suggestions?

I have an 2004 Polaris Sportsman 700 twin and it will start in gear without breaks being depressed. Having hard time finding if this model has an gear selector interlock to prevent that from happening and where it would be located.


Thank you for any helpful response.

Has anyone else ever noticed or has an issue with their digital display flashing on after the bike is off? I was out riding last night and stopping often enough when i noticed the 3 buttons under the display (up menu down) would flash on, either in red or blue every so often, say every 5 minutes. My bikes never been swamped, it is worth saying that my battery has been a piece of crap since day one, wont turn the bike over sometimes so i have to turn the key off and retry. This year has been alot worst than before so i guess im looking into new battery as well. Friday night it gave me a really hard time to start eventually got it going tho, then saturday night when i was climbing a snowy hill i had the tires spinning to make it up the hill, once i got to the top it just died out of nowhere, i was still on the throttle when it quit. Started right back up but it seems like theres some ghosts with this bike. Then once we got to our destination thats when i discovered the lights and it did it for the next 3 stops.

Im no longer in warranty so dealer diagnose isnt ideal however if i have to i will.

Thanks guys!
