Hi,
I just bought my first Polaris Sportsman 500 ATV (1999) and I'm trying to figure out an issue with the speedometer cluster. It is completely dead, no lights, odometer or speedo gauge working. I'm going to try the repair suggested in this blog: KA7OEI's blog: Repair of the speedometer on a Polaris Sportsman 500 4-wheeler


I first wanted to make sure the Hall Effect Sensor wasn't a potential issue based on all my symptoms. My AWD light is working if I flick the switch on, but everything on the gauge cluster is dead. Thanks in advance!

My 96 trailboss obviously has a dead battery, but I always thought the lights would still work as long as it was running. I know all the lights work as they should as I have tested with a battery charger hooked up to the terminals. Also, I believe that the starter is bad as well.

Polaris part number 1332982. This is new, never installed. And just to be upfront, yes this is my first post on this forum. I don't have any ATVs, but I am on several car forums. I am looking to just sell this transmission and I will be off this site. As stated, new and never installed. The cheapest I have found this online is $2446.....selling for 1,800. Make an offer.

According to the Polaris site, this is the fitment

I'm tired of spending hours cleaning silicone off my clutch cover evertime I need to go in there for something thinkin about trying the outsiders mud crew gasket for it. Just wondering if anybody tried it yet and how it worked?

Is the shocks on the 2019 xxc different from other year xxc?
My Fox shocks HS comp has only about 3.25 turns of adjustment. Is this the same as other years?
Also the LS comp adjusters turn along with the HS adjusters. It does adjust separately but seems to stop at a different setting if you turn the HS nut.
Can someone tell me how to adjust these shocks?

I have a '97 trail boss 250. I've had to switch to pre-mix oil due to oiler issues. I 've been using a 50:1 mixture. Atv is used mainly for a pit bike at drag strip, so it isn't driven hard. It is fouling plugs left and right. I've been using a NGK br6es plug. I've gone to a hotter plug but haven't tried it yet. just wanting to get feedback on mixture for oil for my use. Thanks
