Got this for my little guy for Christmas. He really just started riding it as weather is finally decent. The machine runs good for a hour or two. Then will start to stall and wont run or start up. So far I changed the plug and checked gapping. Did all the other basics. Checked oil level , air filter , fuel filter. I run 87 regular fuel with star tron in it. Haven't got very much use of it yet and now he wants to ride but it's a nightmare when this happens to a brand new machine.

Anyone have any advice or something to add.

Next step is back to dealer. I only have the standard warranty and didnt purchase the extended warranty as I didn't think I would need one. Now I am worried I will need it.

Just about to purchase this for my daughter (from the second owner). Looks to be in really good condition (new carb being installed as we speak). Anything I should be on the lookout for? Any known issues, especially regarding the oil injection system? Any cheap (aka-free) mods that I should look to do to it?

Just about to purchase a used 2004 Sportsman 90. Its for my little girl (7 yo) and I cant wait to give it to her. Very little time to spend with her (in law enforcement) so needed a way to spend time outside of the house doing something fun.

Is the bolt pattern the same for pretty much all Polaris’s

My 2001 one owner Polaris Trail Blazer is clicking and not starting. Was rebuilt last year with a new starter. Has brand new battery on it.
At first the lights came on, now only unprovoked clicking.

Hi guys,

Not mechanically inclined at all so please bear with me as I do my best to explain.

Owned a 2013 Polaris 400HO for a few years. This fall I had quite a bizarre incident where the bolt that connects to my aarm sheered off and literally the front right wheel/assembly came off. (Photo here: https://ibb.co/FYtB25M )

I got that repaired but noticed on the left side the bushing/a-arm seems to be sliding a bit when, for example, I push on the tire with my foot. Almost as if vibration and impact over time could cause the very issue I had on the other side of the quad.

I am attaching photos (here https://ibb.co/bzRB766 - https://ibb.co/P42Lsg4 ) but wondering if you can tell me:

1. Is some sliding/play in this area normal?
2. Is that part called a bushing and is it fairly easily replaced?

Thank you for all your continued help. This forum has been instrumental over the past few years.

Cheers
