1999 Sportsman 500 wont engage 4×4 in Low Range
Good Morning All,
Many thanks to many of you for helping me fix my 1999 project machine when i got it in 2016. I got it used and found out later my craigslist deal was a debacle with the engine/cam issue and due to costs of repairs i was forced to try to fix it myself. With no experience you all helped me fix it. I wish you could have seen the look on my face when it started after doing all the work LOL.
Low and behold its still running........my daughter loves it, she rides it much, i use it for dragging an occasional deer and firewood on the trailer to the house.
now to my question............
My machine seems to not engage 4x4 in Low Range, maybe that is by design so i do not tear something up? I was attempting to pull firewood trailer in the snow this weekend and 4x4 works fine in reverse, fine in hi range but when i use it in low range i can see the drive shaft turning to the front end and i can feel the axles turning so its like the hubs are not engaging on it. I don't know where the sensors are that detect how the 4x4 engages so not sure how it works. Just curious how things work on it.
Not sure if it makes any difference but my spedo doesn't work and while searching on here i read that you wont have 4x4 if your speedo doesn't work but that isn't necessarily the case in my situation.
Thanks in advance for everyone and their knowledge here,
Robert

Elka Stage 3 worth it?
Hi guys. I’ve been researching the Stage 3’s and notice they have great reviews. I ride a 18 1000 xxc. I only ride fast on trails. For those that have them, is it worth upgrading from the Fox 1.5 Podium RC2 to the Elka Stage 3’s? Is there a noticeable difference? I see that you can’t adjust hi speed compression on the Elka’s.
Polaris sportsman 335 problem starting
Good morning guys, I just got s 335 on trade. It wasn't getting fire. So i traced it down to the magnets being loose on the flywheel. Got that fixed and running, great. But something is going on with the battery. I put a brand new one on it, but I still have to hav ed it hooked up to a charger to start it. It turns over fine without it but wont hit. I hook the charger up and it starts up first click. Is the compression so low that it needs to be spinning super fast to starter what. I'm lost, please help. Thanks
650 engine seized while driving!
Well, it seems my atv took a turn for the worst.
Last week while heading back from an ice fishing hole my quad locked up and motor seized. Here the turn of events. While riding I heard A sudden noise change in the engine. At that point I was trying to just get it back to my cabin. A minute later the engine just died. My electrical was flickering so I HOPED maybe the ground or leads came loose. So I check and everything was tight. Managed to get a friend out to help jump it. But it wouldn’t do so much as turn over for me. We managed to tow it back to the cabin and winch it onto the truck. After getting home I checked the battery voltage and everything was good with the battery. Grounding was good. So I then pulled the spark plug. It was really tough to get out which was not a good indicator. After getting it out I could see it was clearly mangaled. Not a good sign. So I took of the head cover and everything looks fine and in place. My thought is the valve arm broke and jammed up cylinder which is not good if it scored the cylinder or anything.
So I’m needing help with what it could be and the form of action I should take. Any idea on costs? I’m out of Lowe mainland British Columbia in Canada
