Just trying to get an idea of how widespread the issue is...some good deals on 2017 out there right now...but not interested in spending thousands to rebuild it when it fails.

I am attempting to resurrect a 1998 Xplorer 300 that was left abandoned in a field for an unknown period of time. Installed new battery, starter and cleaned the carb. Had it running for about 4-5 minutes last Sunday and shut it down to put the plastics back on. Once back together it wouldn't start. I have found that it was flooded. Read somewhere that having the choke on will cause that if it doesn't start. I have spark and alot of fuel. What could be my problem?

Hi guys, after half a year with the new 570xmr I started to feel the need of my old 800xt :D This beauty boy has enough power for fun, but as I had an 800 I would like to get that power back. Now looked after a Griffin Performance kit. I am ready to buy this kit, but I have plenty of questions about this kit. I would be very happy if someone would help me.

How do I know that it fixs my bike? Or it fixs all pe rotax atv engines ? I would like to get the kit of 800 or 830 .
Is there needed any ECU reflash ? Which are the advantages and disadvantages about this kit?

I bought this 08 Polaris Outlaw 525 about a week ago and on the second day of riding it, the headlights wouldn't turn on and would come on every once and a while and the tail light would flicker. Then the starter button wouldn't work and so I had to roll start the quad for a day. I took all the connections off and cleaned them out and lithium greased them all. Still wouldn't start on it's own power, I roll started it and it ran perfectly fine for 30 seconds and died. Upon further inspection, the wires to the tether had been cut by the previous owner. I replaced the handlebar start/light switch and now it will roll start but still no battery start. And the battery is fully charged. Not quite sure what to do here.

Hello All,

Just picked up a 2013 850 XP LE Scrambler. Someone asked me if it had the recalls updated? Is there a way to tell if those have been completed? Does anyone on here have a list of the required recalls or know where I should go to find that info? Appreciate any help. thanks!

Anyone running the blackwater evolutions on a 570? How are they?

I have a 2000 Sportsman 335 that starts and idles good. The issue is when you are going 20 mph and give it has it hesitates and slowly accelerates. Doesn't seem to get up to speed like it use to. Plan to change the fuel filter, but I am looking for what else to check out besides the filter.

I am not sure what condition mine is in but it still goes. Every once in a while we might struggle with a gear. Just wondering if you need special tools and what other things I may need to know. Probably should do clutch at same time?

Hi I have a question about my sportsman 550. It seems quite hard to shift between park neutral reverse and hi and low. Sometimes its not too bad other times its quite stubborn. The bike has only done 7hrs so i thought it may still be wearing in but have googled and it seems it looks like a common polaris issue? Look forward to some input.
