Well, some of you might remember the Check Engine Light with my brand new 850SP. Yesterday I took a long ride out to a scenic location and on the way back the Check Engine Light came on. I got back and tried to bring up trouble codes by pressing/holding the Mode button and nothing displayed, just like the last time. So, now the light comes on all the time.

Anybody else have this issue?

Hello, can someone shed some light on this issue? I have two identical machines and have recently blown the fuel tanks out, replaced coils, coil wires, spark-plugs, fuel filters, injectors with o-rings and sleeves, pressure regulators and new fuel pumps and screens. One of the machines has responded great and is running like it did when it was new. The other is running rough, and dying when you let off the throttle. Neither of these machines has many hours on them. They get used during fishing trips to Canada and then they have sat for extended periods. I learned my lesson late about ethanol fuels (have gone strictly non-ethanol), hence the rebuilds of the ignition and fuel delivery systems. Could this be a result of the ASM Sensor that sits directly beyond the injector? The machines are 12 years old, but started up and generally have run very well except for battery issues and a control module replacement on one of them. Up until recently they had never required any of this type of repair work. I wondered about the control module, but this machine isn't acting at all like the one did when it was replaced a few years back. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Hi everyone! Ihave a 2009 sportsman 800 6x6, and having electrical issue. No power to anything including fuse box. Battery is charged, and cables tight. New solenoid, have checked everything I can think of, cant even get power to kill switch. Thanks in advance for any help at all!

Point blank if you want a good ATV Do not buy Polaris!

Hello, I'm new to this forum and the trail boss 330. I bought a used one this summer and overall it's a good bike and runs good, just some little issues. Like front bearings and hubs, lol reminder to check that stuff when buying a used bike. Now I'm seeing it rear chain guard is floating around and causing a clanking noise, tried to tighten and its tight, is this normal to have. Thanks

Hi everyone, as the title says I'm the proud new owner of a 2018 Sportsman 450. A couple months ago a friend of mine took me to a trail and let me ride his 570 and I've been hooked ever since. I look forward to learning as much as possible from everyone here, and I'll see you around.

So I've been installing a traditional snorkel kit from snorkel your ATV. Honestly it's been really frustrating trying to get things to where they actually make sense and cutting parts to make this 200 dollar ABS kit to fit the way they say it will. The worst part has been getting all the components inside the gauge support just right. Well now that I have the system all installed my gauge support feels the need to pop off every chance it gets even when just sitting in the shop. The snorkel riser assembly and gauge support rocks back and forth and I know it won't stay in the correct position on the trails. Is there any way I can secure this stuff down so I'm not dragging it after a few bumps down the trail? Any experience please weigh in. Thanks.

I've a new ride a 570 XT, How do I get rid of the heat. I'm open to suggestions. I'd rather stay with factory fixes right now. I do a lot of slow riding . Thanks Hoot

hey guys, new to the forum here... Thanks for having me! I picked up an '08 Outlander MAX 650 XT a few months back on a whim and misdiagnosis. Turned out it had spun bearings on the crank, so a new one went in over the course of a few late nights in the shop. I have owned many atvs but this is my first can am. The machine had a history before I ran across it, and I have been trying to figure out what made the crank go boom. The oil pump wasn't plugged, (and looked to be in very good shape) nor was the small screen in front of it, plus I cleaned the cases very well before reassembly. there appeared to be a lot of "foreign material" in the crankcase likely due to swamping, so that was my initial theory. Anyways, ive been thinking of looking into the cooling system on this thing, since maybe it was an overheat issue. The Radiator is pretty clean, the High temp sensor has not kicked on, and the fan runs when I shut it off but leave the key on. Ive read that these are hot running motors, but the heat this thing kicks out is borderline unbearable and im questioning how hot is "too hot". im in Southern Wisconsin and lately it has been in the high 80's and humid as hell. but this thing is almost not rideable after about 20 minutes. not sure if I should check the t-stats, change the temp sensor out, or where to go from here? ill also add that my neighbor has a 2013 outty max 650 and says he has never had heat issues while riding. looking for any and all suggestions, I really don't want to melt this thing down after all that work I just put in the motor!!
