Ive asked in other discussions and didnt get much of an answer.
i have a 04 Sportsman 700 efi that was given to me as a basket case. I want to get it running rite before i sink a bunch of money into it. I have it running but need to adjust the throttle cable for it to run at a high idle. I installed new plugs, fuel pump, crank sensor and Reman. injectors.
theres a code 51 and ive read about all the wiring problems. Ive gone through the wiring and plugs, cleaned and made repairs and ohmed out the wires for grounding out.
Im not sure were to look further. Any ideas
Thanks

sorry for the question,..

I have a 2017 Sportsman 570 base model- all stock:

I have read for two days and have determined, that even as I would like a set of 26 inch bear claw htr's-, it appears the 26x9 fronts will rub- unless new wheels with a 4-3 offset, or spacers- neither which I want to do. I have also read that some 25x8x12 fronts will rub as well (which is stock size??). Does anyone run the 25x8 Bear claw HTRs? do they rub?

Also, by chance I might have read wrong, will the more preferred 26x9x12 fronts rub?

Thanks

got 2 now 2012 max-xt 800 runs great just bought big gun exhaust --do i have to tune fuel with a tuner as they say in directions or will it hurt bike

I noticed my Outlaw is making a ticking kind of noise when i'm at idle and just give it a little gas...as it returns to idle, I can here a clicking/ticking noise on the cam chain side. I took off the valve cover and the chain tensioner and pulled the chain off the intake sprocket and pulled it tight. The manual says that within spec is 5.407 inches across 20 pitches of the chain. I believe 20 pitches is the same as 10 links?? I measure about 5.0.

I feel so convinced that the noise I hear is the chain slapping the front of the case (guide). Will it do this even if my above measurements are still within the tolerance listed? am I chasing something I shouldn't be and need to look elsewhere?

thanks in advance for any help.

I'm new to the forum, as well as a Polaris ATV.
I just picked up a Polaris 1995 400L 2X4, and I'm just looking for a place to get further info on specs and such, and what it was made for. It is a two stroke with variable speed. Was it designed to work around the farm and at the same time have a little speed.
I did find the owners, and maintenance manuals, just interested in what the best use of this machine would be. When I was looking at it online I saw a two stroke 400, and thought it would be really fast. But with the variable speed, and high, low and reverse gear, I 'm thinking it is more of a work machine.
Any sites you can send me to, or anything you can tell me would be great.
Thanks

Initial Issue:
after an electronic start I had a high pitch sound. A noise I had never heard before. I was in the field and I immediately trailered the ATV. After reading advice from this forum, I replaced the battery(needed replacing), and cleaned the connections to the solenoid. I still had a no electronic start, but it would pull start. After the pull start, there was no high pitch noise, just the normal purring sounds of a 14 year old machine.. I replaced the solenoid with a cheap $12 replacement. It worked and I thought the problem was resolved until..... About 20 starts!

Issue Reappearance:
I started the ATV this weekend and the noise had reappeared. I was again out in the field but I shut turned off the ATV. After that it would not electronic start. I can pull start and jump the solenoid and the engine purrs... Still have good voltage from the battery.

My questions..
1) Based on this info has my solenoid failed again? If so, are there recommendations for this part that I can purchase that will last longer than 20 starts?
2) Am I barking up the wrong tree? Could it be the ignition or something else?

Any advice would be much appreciated.
