Hey, guys. Somewhat new to the group. I was browsing the previous threads and couldn't really find anything specific about drive belt brands (after shredding mine yesterday). I was wondering if anyone has used the Gates brand or any other ones, or if the original Polaris ones are preferred. Also, what is the difference between the 3211123 and 3211160 OEM belts? My service manual says to get the 3211123 for Scramblers & Sportsmen 850s built before mid-Oct. 2012 and 3211160 for machines built after. Mine therefore calls for the 3211123. Why does it matter? Thanks for your help!

I know this has been asked a multitude of times but I haven't found my answers after searching for a while. I noticed my water pump weep hose was leaking pretty badly while idling my quad getting ready for a ride after sitting for nearly 2 months, I called my dealer today and booked it in for them to test it and see if it will be warranty (I have Can Am BEST warranty for 2 years). Onto the questions, What do they do to test if I need a new seal? Roughly how long should it take for them to diagnose it? I don't want to take it in and have them check it just to deny my warranty and end up getting stiffed with the bill for diagnosis, doesn't take long to add up at just over $100 an hour.

I have 2000 xpedition with both fuel lines to the carb disconnected. should fuel be flowing out of both lines or just 1 line? Atv is not running correct wont idle and feels like the choke is stuck on or not getting enough fuel

On several occasions after I wash my 1000 the odometer and the lights (If On) come on even though the key switch is off. The Run switch is in the "run" position as well because I tend never to use it. I am assuming my ignition switch is getting wet. I have changed it once but even the current one does the same deal.

anyone experience this? The switches are very cheaply made and not waterproof at all. I tried finding a better aftermarket one but they all seem cheap. I think im going to get another new one and then "Plasti-Dip" it getting a nice rubber seal formed around it.

Great for the trails or lakes... no need for a snow machine!

I just got a very clean and well running sportsman. Everything is great on it. The headlights all 3 don’t work??
Thanks.

Looking for a service manual for my 4 wheeler. Took it in because the 4 wheel unit wasn't engaging. payed a professional to diagnose and was told the unit was getting 12 volts and the differential was bad , couldn't rebuild and wanted 1400 dollars to replace. Bought a used unit for 400 and started to work on and found out its not getting any juice to the unit. kinda upset!!! my friend whos a mechanic said with a wiring diagram we could trouble shoot if its the switch or a fuse broken wire ect. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

I have a 570 sportmans the muffler part number is 1262445, do they make a after market muffler that replaces that one they want 230.00 dollars would think I could buy a after market one cheaper, located in Alaska so I need to buy one off the internet

Hey everyone. Brand new to the site and a brand new polaris owner. Got a great deal on a leftover 2018 sportsman 570 hunter edition a few weeks back. Done a couple modifications since I picked it up and this site sure has come in handy. Figured I'd do my part and share a little project I did over the weekend for anyone else who might be interested. After looking extensively online for a dog carrier for my sportsman, it seems as there is limited options. EXPENSIVE options. I take my dogs just about everywhere with me, whether it be the lake, the trails or anywhere that offers adventure. The price for these manufactured dog carriers is steep and I thought I could fab something up for a fraction of the price and that's exactly what I did. It's not super professional and it surely isnt as nice as the custom made ones online, but it's solid, it works and it only cost me about 140$ to build. Figured I'd post some pictures to give ya'll some DIY ideas if you were in the market for a similar product. Let me know what you think and I'd be happy to answer any questions.

Hello, I am Todd and I live in the Atlanta Georgia area. I just purchased a 2008 Outlander 650 Max. The first ride out was great for the first two hours then it decided not to start. It over heated a couple times so I stopped and let it cool down and then would go again. About the third time it would not start again. A message scrolls across the bottom saying "HI COMSTOCK". I can't find anywhere what that means. The manual doesn't show it as a possible message or error. The battery is good, fuses are good but it won't turn over at all and doesn't even give a click. The screen lights up and will show SERVICE SOON one time then it continues to scroll HI COMSTOCK. If anyone knows what that means please help.
