2008 Polaris Sportsman 500 HO EFI Thermal Sensor
digging into an issue I'm having. I have replaced the rad and thermostat, my fan also works fine. My bike flashes 'HOT' even though I believe as do others, it's not really overeating.
I'm trying to change the thermal sensor located upper back left corner behind the clutch assembly cover on the block. This sensor activates the 'HOT' warning on the display hud from research I've done.
The issue is, I've been to a Polaris dealer and even they can't provide the part number for that sensor. The mechanic who came out to look at it was surprised there was a 'quick connect' right at the sensor. He went in to look at the schematics on-line, even looking at a year before (2007) and a year after (2009) with no luck. Pretty bad I think.
He then started suggesting maybe someone basterdized it but, I then explained I bought it there NEW in 2008 and I haven't touched it because I'm a mechanical moron. They have done all my servicing to this point.
Their Service Manager tried with no luck as well. Talk about frustrating.
So if anyone has any idea as to the part number, I would appreciate any help as well.

2003 Sportsman 90 Fuel/Oil line Diagram
I picked up someone else's winter project and was given a bunch of hoses:crying. I'm mostly confused about the two hoses that come off a splitter at the top of the tank.
A handmade drawing will be fine:grin

2" Perfex lift kit
28" STI Outback Max Tires on MSA 14 inch wheels
Yoshimura Slip On (Sounds incredible)

Got everything from atvtirescanada.com
They are great!
I think I'm going to need fender flares now, any recommendations?

fuel injector not working
My son bought a rebuilt engine to put in our 900 xp porlaris ranger. however after installing it , we figured out the one fuel injector is not working. when we switch the wiring harness the problem switches injectors. when we use a multi tester it appears we are getting the right voltages on both harnesses. we even borrowed a friends ECU and it still didn't work, so I am thinking there must be a problem with the harness. My son said Polaris wants $1000 for the harness, is there a better way?

LED light bulbs
Instead of installing a lightbar I’d like to just replace the stock lights (all 3) with LED bulbs.
I ordered some off of Amazon but they didn’t fit.
Can anyone recommend some?

Lets talk snow plows for ATVs!
So we a blizzard the other day. Sort of unusual to get any kind of measurable amount of snow before January where I live. But like the last pre-Christmas snow storm we got back in 2009, it was just as deep, wet and slushy. We might get one 6" snow storm per year. Last winter we didn't even get any measurably snowfall. Despite that dry arctic blast we got in January that didn't get above freezing for about three weeks.
That morning after I got off work there was 6" of snow on the road. It was a bit dodgy driving 8 miles home but I managed to get up my driveway which has an incline and is 1000 feet long. Being a Sunday morning, the road crews had not even salted or scraped the roads! If this had been a Monday morning, I bet they would have got crackin' on it.
After I woke up we had 1 foot. So before leaving for work I decided to see if I could back my Subaru away from my garage because the snow was up to the bumpers. I accidentally ran off the driveway because the snow was so deep and my rear wheels was in the grass.
I bought this Subaru new back in 2003 and this is the first time I have ever got it stuck in the snow. I couldn't even shovel my way out of it.
I've even had this car out in the backyard doing doughnuts on dry frozen snow about the same depth and never got it stuck. The only thing I can think of was this particular snow was wet and slushy. I called Dad to see if he could pull me out with his truck. Somehow I managed to break free (burning probably 2000 miles off my tires) only to get stuck again behind my house. AAARRGGHHH!!!!
So I took Dad's truck to work. Kind of wish I hadn't sold my Ford Explorer now.
Despite being 48, I still look forward to snow. I guess I can still a kid at heart but this was the first snow storm I can truly say was a pain in the keister.
I asked Dad if he would help me take loose the mowing machine on his tractor and install the grader blade so I could scrape my driveway (and his). He said, "If you want to son your welcome to it but I'm not trudging through all this snow, I'm retired and can sit here until it melts"! He's 75 so I can't much blame him. He suggested just using the mowing machine to knock the snow down.
Wednesday I was off so I drove my ATV down to my parent's house and got his tractor. A 1976 John Deere 830 Diesel. BOY, did this thing put up a fight starting. I figured it being a diesel it would struggle and sure enough it did. I ran the battery down cranking it over but I brought the battery charger with me on my ATV and a can of starting fluid. I finally got it going, it smoked like a coal powered train when I fired it up! I can't understand why people like diesels so much. They are a pain to get going in freezing weather.
So I proceeded to "Bush Hog" my driveway, knocking the snow down from 12" to about 2" or 3" packed. Now my Subaru has no problems driving on this stuff. Must have been where the bumpers were pushing the snow like a plow.
ATV content:
This was the first time I had driven my Xplorer 300 in this amount of snow. What fun! I tried it in 2 wheel drive just to see if I could sling more snow but it bogged down. It went through the snow but not like butter. I had to rev it at full throttle at times but it went and go up hills. That was the ONLY thing I can say that was fun about this blizzard. Getting to slide around in the snow on my ATV.
Which brings me to my next question.
Would an Xplorer 300 have the balls to push a snow plow? I found this snow plow on Craigslist.

I think it's overpriced because it doesn't seem to have any hydraulics involved with it. Looks like I'd have to manually lift the blade up. Says it can be lifted using a winch which I have but not mounted on my ATV yet. I've never used a snow plow before.
Where I work years ago someone once rigged up some 2X6s and some skids to a fork truck and made a makeshift snow plow. It didn't scrap off all the snow but knocked it out of the way to where you could walk on a path instead of having to trudge through it.
Looks to me like I could take some 1/2" or thicker plywood and layer it and mount it to the four mounting holes on the brush guard of my ATV (at an angle) then use some leftover metal siding I have for the scraper blade.
When it does get 1 foot deep, I'd probably have to make this thing where it's adjustable. Where I can mount it 6" off the ground and knock that out of the way ant then lower it another 6" (or make a removable piece) and make another pass. That might take longer than if I had a real hydraulic operated snow plow but what else would I have to do? That would just give me an excuse to get out of the house and play around on my ATV!
Anyone ever built a homemade snow plow for their ATV out of plywood and 2X4s?
