I have a 2000 Polaris Sportsman 500. A year or so ago we got it running after replacing the kill switch. It ran great but after some use for a couple months it got a flat tire and for some reason we just forgot about it and it sat for some time. Before it sat i replaced the gas

cap, fuel filter, fuel pump, petcock, battery, starter relay, oil and oil filter. I recently went to start it and it started so quickly and without choke or throttle but the ATV wouldn't move till about 1/4 throttle and it wasn't really a smooth ride until 1/2 throttle. it also would bog

out randomly after you came to a stop and sounded like it was getting too much fuel. I cleaned the carb and adjusted the air/fuel screw to 1 3/4 turns out. I also messed with the idle and the throttle cable adjuster up on the handlebars. It's safe to say it now runs worse

than when i started working on it 2 days ago. It takes more effort to get started and bogs out idling after about 30 seconds. I tried adjusting the idle but every time i do it'll get to a sweet spot but after driving it down the driveway and back the idle will go up and down to

the point where i can't put it in gear because the gears will grind. Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

A friends 570 started running very poorly when he was halfway in water. No codes at all but it will idle and pop through intake then stall . If you give it throttle lo w it'll stumble and bog unless you pump the throttle to get it to rev fully on its own. When the engine is warm it will barely even do that. Fuel pressure is 33 at all times and the plug is new as well as the fuel. I've changed the tps and tried setting it at the recommended setting of which I can't remember exactly right now but I want to say either .68v or .86. When I start it the set voltage drops some though and its charging at 14v. I even unplugged the stator to see if it was causing the voltage drop while running. It also won't put out a full 5v coming out of the sensor at work. I think it was 2.9v at the most. I changed the injector because it was spraying poorly and I did a valve adjustment. No luck whatsoever and i'm tired of messing with it. We swapped the ecm to a rzr and the rzr ran just fine so I'm thinking the wiring harness is faulty but at this point I'm out of ideas. It acts like its not getting enough fuel.

Had it a few weeks now. Work a lot, and it was -15 ish for a few days, so I only have 5 or so miles on it. I've owned a 2010 sportsman 500, and a 2016 sportsman 1k that I traded on my rzr turbo, and eventually decided I needed another 4 wheeler to go with it...soo..here I am and so far she does not disappoint. Here's a pic on the trailer, and after tires. 28" Maxxzillas. Not sure what I want to do next, yet.... btw. The quick connect can am plow is totally awesome.

Anyone running tracks with a torq locker? Wondering how much better it would be. Seems in the deeper powder I have a lot of 3 wheel(track) power with the visco lock. Thanks

Ryan. Just bought my first can am. 2019 Outlander xtp 1k. Hope to learn a bit, and meet some cool new people. Thanks for having me.

Hi! The bearing on my 2008 Apache track is broken, I also need to change the main axel. Can anyone help out me where to find spareparts? I will be most grateful.

Hi, I just bought a 2013 Polaris Sportsman 500 HO and I've been going through the manual. There's a list of service items to be completed every so many months and miles.

I'm wondering how people keep track of this stuff. Do you set yourself a calendar reminder? Keep a spreadsheet or what?

Thanks!

Hi guys. I'm having issues with my sportsman. Recently I was getting a message that said hdlbr and now my reverse override button won't change anything on my speedo and my wheeler starts to backfire and run rough whether it's in gear or neutral. Idles fine but as soon as I touch the throttle it does it. I have no idea what it could be and any help would be appreciated. Thank you

I had custom quad shop build me a clutch. It came in this week, wow what a piece of work !!! I’m Ready for a test run, I can’t wait to see how thing gets the power to the ground! If it’s set up correctly What should I be looking for? Shiftout?

Hi guys,

My 08 Outty 650 won’t start. I’ve checked the battery, it’s 12.7v I cleaned the battery terminal and cable connections. I switched relays (in the front trunk). It cranks but won’t fire. I have it in park and hold the brake, neutral and hold the break..... no avail. I’m not sure how to attach a video. But I took one to post any help would be greatly appreciated
