I have a 05 sportsman 800 and noticed the speedometer wasn't working, I'm not a mechanics type of person and after riding it this afternoon I noticed this tube was broke... I am assuming there is a correlation between the two?
Master Cylinder Test
2004 Scrambler 500 4x4. I replaced the rear caliper that seemed to be frozen. Front brake lever controls the right side of the rear and works fine. The rear pedal barely pushes any fluid through. A check of the reservoir shows it is still virtually fill. How do I check whether or not the master cylinder (or that is what I assume the thing the pedal is fastened to is called) is functioning?
Not sure what to do, in need of opinions!
Hello all,
My story is that I've been riding ATVs and dirtbikes since I was 5 (I'm now 27). I have recently been really into bikes, rode a CR250 hard in central PA for a few years and started to get more into enduro riding, so I went and bought a '17 KTM 250xc. I was having an absolute blast on it until about 3 weeks ago, after putting my 10th hour on it I glanced a tree and landed on my wrist causing a scaphoid fracture. For anyone that doesn't know anything about it, it's a horrible little bone in your wrist that takes forever to heal when broken. Now I am in a cast for what seems like the foreseeable future, working limited duty and missing out on my favorite time of the year activities, hunting, etc.
I currently have an 07 Rincon with itp wheels, bighorns, hmf exhaust and optimizer, and uni filter. I enjoy riding it but it's no Can am. Perfect for cruising around for comfort when not out on a wild 2 stroke bike.
My conondrum is that as I sit here injured, I feel like I'm never going to ride the bike as seriously as I had prior to getting hurt. I guess I'm going to wait until I'm healed up to take it out again and see how I feel, but my gut is telling me I won't be into it.
I'm considering selling the bike privately (there is a huge market for them) so I hopefully won't take too big of a hit on it. I love the idea of an 850 or 1000xtp to have an awesome quad that will still satiate my adrenaline junkie, thrill seeking, lol!
I guess I'm just seeing what other people think about it all. I would also either sell the Rincon or trade it in. As I said the Rincon is sweet, but if a quad is the only thing I'll have, I'd rather have top of the line, which I believe to be can am.
Thanks all

engine noise
Hi
just wondering I've read a few posts and some say the polaris engine is so different from others and better though the when reving up the engine in low or high gear it tends to have that type of ticking sound coming from the right side of the motor where the pull start cord is, why is polaris the only one that I've read that does that.
I stopped by my local can am dealer to see if they had any oil and they were using one of their machines to pull a jet ski on trailer. no abnormal noise from it like I hear from mine.
is there something I can add to oil to soften the noise?

Looking at picking up a ’12 Outlander 650 XT. Price right?
Found a 2012 Outlander 650 XT on Craigslist listed at $7500. It looks to be in like new condition with only 250 miles on it. Never trail ridden. NADA values it at $5550 average retail. I talked the guy down to $7k so far but that really doesn't seem like quite the right price yet because it's so far off NADA value. It's Hard to find comparables with such low mileage. Maybe im the one that's off here and that low of mileage and like new condition do warrant such a high price tag. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated to help me pull the trigger or keep Looking! Thanks in advance!

2017 Sportsman 1000 xp
Just got my new Sportsman 1000 xp and I must say I am very very happy with the new machine !
The bike sounds really good from factory I was surprised. The suspension is super smooth and confortabe to drive. The seat is soft an squishy. I think the new body looks awesome.
When I first drove the bike I thought, holy..smokes.. why did I buy a machine with sooo much power, best part tho it has a work, standard an performance mode!
Traded in my 2017 highlighter for this new xp, very happy with the new bike. Polaris really done a good job on this one.
I put 28 inch roctanes on haven't drove them yet curious what there gunna be like, the clutch felt perfect before dunno yet if I'm going to have to address the clutch with the bigger tire's. I also got a split dual slip on exhaust made by rjwc coming in a few weeks. Not sure yet if I'm going to need a tuner.
That bike has a surprising amount of storage from factory was happy about that. The light's are really bright. The brakes are really strong.
I really didnt like my highlifter and I hoisted my opinon on the bike but I must say I really give Polaris a 10 out of 10 on this hot rod an I'm not just sayin that because I bought one !
Only thing I didnt like that I noticed is the same pinion plate is on the new bike that previouse years have had problems with. I expect to brake axles but will replace with demon axel's once I cross that bridge.
Gunna be a fun weekend !

Tusher Canyon – 13 Oct 2017
Did a 3 day ATV trip down to the San Rafael Swell area and this is the first of 3 video's of the ride I'll be doing. Had a great time, saw some cool country & really enjoyed the 3 days of riding. Hope you enjoy the video !!
