Advice 2014 Sportsman 400HO upgrades

Just recently got 2014 Polaris sportsman 400 HO. The machine has very little use. Looking to hear opinions/advice on some suggested upgrades to the wheeler.

Will be mainly using it for around my property, some trail riding, hunting and ice fishing. Currently has no winch so I’m looking for recommendations on that.

Any other recommendations on possible issues and upgrades that would benefit me.

Also if anyone has anything they are selling that may be of interest to me please feel free to let me know. Thank you in advance for the help

2018 renegade 1000 xmr overheating

I recently purchased a 2018 xmr 1000 and added on a wild boar radiator relocate bumper. I’ve hooked everything up just like it was pictured, but with the new relocate I’ve been getting overheat lights and it goes into limp mode. I’ve completely cleaned the radiator and reinstalled but after about a mile of riding it goes into limp mode any ideas?

2nd battery on my popo? worth it?

So I ride all season long, and sometimes the temperature hits single digits. I run heated gloves; however, I am thinking of running heated socks, pants and some other stuff on top of that.

I was thinking of getting a normal car battery and store it in my storage compartment and just use that battery for my heated gears. Heard a normal 12v car battery can power up heated gloves, pants, and socks for a good full day (not sure on that though). Then I can just recharge it when I get home for next time use?

Or am I better off connecting another ATV battery to the main battery via positive and negative connections? question is, will the stator still charge up the 2nd battery? Will it even have enough electrical output to charge both batteries?

How does this work? thanks!!!

2003 500 ho.

Anyone out there heard of problem with this wheeler getting too warm giveing it a little workout like brush hogging and having all the power go out ? The headlights,tail light, speedometer light and digital display etc including the AWD but the wheeler will stay running and going in 2WD UNTIL you shut it down and then you can’t start it or see any sign of power until you wait about 10 minutes approximately and turn the key on and if you have your speedometer back then you have all power back and can restart the engine and everything works until the next time it happens. I’ve talked to 2 dealers and they haven’t heard of this and also Rocky Mountain sports as well as some mechanic friends. Ide appreciate any help on this. Thanks!

’01 500 carb rebuild question

I have been looking to rebuild my carb because the overflow is leaking and it's running rich.
With so many rebuild kits out there my head is spinning as to which one I should get so I figured I should ask here for suggestions.

I really want leads from ACTUAL purchase/installation experiences so I dont waste time and money on insufficient parts.
