Just bought a 2012 sportsman 500. First ATV ever. I might have messed up...I only tested it very slow around yard. So...when I got home and opened it up I noticed something in hi or low. It feels like a 2 speed tranny...which a CVT shouldn't right? It takes off...and after what appears to be a certain speed...it jerks like it catches a second gear, rpms drop, and it will go faster. Does it in low or high. Literally feels like what I would expect a 2 speed automatic to feel like. First off....not normal correct? Second...where do I even start? I'd prefer not to bring it to anyone unless I must...I want to gets my hands dirty if I can so I can start learning this stuff. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Hello everyone!! I just picked up a 2002 Polaris sportsman 500. It needs front calipers, I can’t seem to find any for the 02 and if I do they are expensive!! I can find other years quite easily!! Can I use a different year caliper or does it have to be from 2002? Thank u for the help

Hi Guys new to Can Am’s looking to pick up a 07 Can Am Outlander 400, the previous owner had the rear drive shaft snap and didn’t fix it. Then he let it sit a few months it has some problems to fix including the shaft. Getting it pretty cheap. I am wondering if I would be able to drive the quad up ramps into my pick up truck without the rear shaft using 4x4 using the front wheels. His battery is shot so i can’t test it until I get there and it’s a couple hours away. He thinks it didn’t work like that before he parked it months ago. Any thoughts on that?

Looking for a version of the BUDS SOFTWARE for my can am 800 outlander max.

Picked up a 2010 with low miles last spring that came equipped with Polaris tracks. This fall I was told by someone who should know that you should always drive in low range to prevent drive belt wear. This sounds over the top to me. I can see if towing for instance that this would be correct. I got it for ice fishing and plan on towing my fish house and for travelling to and from it. I am, of course, new to tracks so any other advice would be appreciated.

Hello,

I was thinking of getting a salt spreader or the ATV but I use mainly the sand salt mixture that the municipality provides. Does anyone have any experience with the salt spreaders using sand salt?

I'm trying to pull the clutch on a 97 sportsman so I can access my starter. Anybody know the bolt size fir the clutch so I dont have to use a puller? I was told if I put a metal rod in the bolt hole and thread another bolt into the clutch I could free it without a puller.

Thanks

I am investigating a 2011 Sportsman 550. Owner claims it has EPS. From what I've learned (please correct me if I'm wrong), the base model didn't come with EPS. The "upper" models did. This is camo, which I believe is how the base model, or the Browning came. Can anyone tell from the picture, or from their experience, if this has EPS? I am a couple hours away from it, and don't wanna waste a trip. Did the camo EPS models have an EPS sticker on the headlamp housing like others have?

Thanks
