Hey all, so was wondering if anyone been on texas creek? I am planning to go there with my polaris to try out all the black diamonds and wondering if there is anything to watch out for.

Ive done most of penrose blacks and same with all the other tougher trails. Wondering if it is like penrose or a little more easier

I have as the title reads a 19 Outlander 450 that has an issue with stalling. I have about 60 miles on it and it’s happened since day 1. Starts right up, isles fine, and runs fine. The issue is, if it’s been idling and I have it in gear and I just hit the gas to go it’ll stall. Starts back up fine then goes. I can avoid this if I “feather” the gas to start. For instance, yesterday I was driving around in low picking up sticks. I’d stop, put the parking break on, hop off, get on, disengage the PB and hit the gas and every few times it stalls.
I brought it to the dealer for the first maintenance and told them. They changed the spark plug and told me that’s “norma” operation for the 450 because of “new emissions laws”. This sounds insane to me. I have a 2019 that’s “supposed” to stall? What do you guys think?

Happy new year everyone,

I have a minor issue with my 2016 850SP. Lately the idle tends to oscillate between 1200 and 1300 rpm, it just sits there and goes up and down. It is not a big issue right now but I am worried that it might be symptomatic of something that might be failing. Any ideas of cause or what i should be looking at?

Thanks

Wife and I have 2012 & 2013 850’s. Both bikes (what a coincidence) threw code 102 2 one the same weekend. I looked in service manual. It relates as P0106 which is TMap. Also, the 2 code states “Signal Out of Range”. I did replace the sensor but still have same issue. I did see older post which indicated harness issues. any ideas on how to test the harness? Thx

hi new to forum i own a 1995 polaris trailboss 250 2x4 and i recently replaced the starter on it and now it has low spark. It was working fine before i replaced the starter. when i took off the flywheel the magnets were not glued in place but worked fine so i glued them back in and installed it back then it no longer would start. what could be the problem?

I did a quick search but I didn't see much posted in regards to transporting fishing rods on ATVs. I am looking for ideas to transport our fishing rods down some of the backroads. Currently we just bungee cord the tube down but I was thinking it would be nice to have a sturdy bracket or clamp instead secured to the storage lid.

I really like these quick release clamps (pictured), it would allow me the option to remove the entire tube with ease. I just can't find them locally or even the right size.

The alternative is just a couple of u-bolts but they aren't as practical for removing unless I replace the nuts with wing nuts.

Any other backroad ATV fishermen/women? What do you do?

Finally got a decent snowfall here in WI on New Years Eve so i decided to pull my son and a few neighbor kids around on sleds.

The temp was around 20deg with about 5in on the ground. Was driving maybe 40 minutes and i noticed the HOT light came on. It may have come on sooner, but i never thought to look at and just happend to notice it when i looked down to turn the key off. I checked and the fan was on and i did not see anything leaking and the resevoir was sitting still at the max line like it usually is.

This is the most i've driven this wheeler since i purchased it.

Where do i start with diagnosing what's going on?

2017 sportsman 450 that someone accidently poured water into instead of gas while i was on vacation. she didnt say how much but im guessing at least a gallon. she said she attempted multiple times to start it. then cyphoned it back out and put gas in it and tried more. she said it did start once and only made it about 20 yards then died... I was later told that her boyfriend tried using ether to start it i guess?.. hell. im not sure what all they did,, i havent went out and even looked at it yet...trying to figure out what all i need to do..drain.. etc

Hello all, I am currently typing this message with my left hand because my 2019 outlander decided to apply full throttle all by itself. The front end came up and threw me off unexpectedly and the atv sped away unoccupied. . When i put my arm out to break my fall it broke into three pieces.

CANAM has really done it now with its introduction to throttle by wire. now, instead of a throttle cable from the thumb lever to the throttle body, a computer must interpret my command using a thumb sensor and then control a servo motor in the throttle body. it sounds cool but it is not a fail safe system. i will be off work now for twelve weeks.

i have been riding atv's all my life and own several. under the circumstances i was noT in any technical situation. i was just riding slow with my kids in an open field.


I PREDICT A RECALL ON THIS NEW PRODUCT!!!!!!!!!!!CANAM FAIL!!!!!!!

just bought a sportsman 570 2018. want a New exhaust eny suggestions?
