I’ve got a busted brake line on my son’s 450ho. It’s the long line from the front distribution block to the rear caliper. Looks as if the rear a-arm guard possibly rubbed it till it created a hole. Has anyone else had this issue?

We bought a 5 year extended warranty from PowerRev. We opted for the zero deductible Xtreme coverage. Gonna take it to the dealer for repair. I can’t see why it wouldn’t be covered. It’s a $90 part from the parts house.

When I bought this atv, the rear brakes where not working, bled them and it work for a week or two, noticed after it sat, it would not brake at all. Changed out the Master cylinder (known issue) and bled the rear system many times, improvement, but not much
Any advice on this, obviously there is still air in the system, but i can seem to get it all out
Thanks

My check engine light came on and i was wondering does this have to be handled by a dealer ?

Trying to wrap my head around the million plow mounts. I think this is a Glacier type, but not sure which.

Where do the wires go in the distribution block. Does anyone have a schematic or drawing? I have looked and can't find one. Mine are a mess

I can get the engine running by bypassing or jumping the solenoid

KEY SWITCH

Red wire receives wire direct from the battery
Red/black wire has 12V in position 2 or 3
Brown wire- no power in any position
Black wire- no power in any position

I took the key switch apart.

In position 1- key full counter clockwise, this connects black wire and brown wire (continuity)
In position 2 or 3 - key fully upright or key full clockwise- this connects red wire with red/ black wire

Problem is I am getting NO power to anything else in the distribution block. Start button does nothing. I have no lights to anything, no power from the power block to any of the wires going to the start button or light switch.

Another problem
the 4 wires that come from the gear selector on the right side of machine are not connected and I do not know where they are suppose to go

GEAR SELECTOR WIRES

Red/ White
Green/ White
Blue
Grey/ white

Would these being disconnected stop all power from going anywhere? (I am doubtful)

I am hoping someone can tell me where the wires are suppose to go (schematic?)

HELP!!

Thanks

Just picked up a new 570 utility edition. Already has an aux switch installed with a wire running to the rear for like a sprayer or some powered implement. I don’t really have a use for that so i was thinking of re routing the wire and using it for a front facing led light bar. Has anyone else done this ? The connector on the end is like a battery tender type.

Just bought this bike it seems like it runs great until it get hot and it starts to lunge backfire and will die it starts right back up everytime it may do it again as soon as you start it and sometimes it will run good for a moment and then do it again

Hi all,

New to polaris and just bought this 2018 leftover. I have had many many dirt bikes and street bikes over the years, but only one quad, a late 1980's vintage Yamaha Big Bear 350 that I use mostly for plowing. Well this spring the frame broke at the footpeg on the poor old big bear so I began looking for a replacement. After being astounded at what a used 4x4 atv quad goes for with a plow I decided to bite the bullet and buy a new one with a plow. After looking around a bit I stumbled upon the ACE lineup and thought that it might be nice to plow behind a windscreen and with a roof and possibly some doors! I was lucky to find a good deal on a leftover and brought it home a couple weeks ago. Still getting used to this whole CVT thing, a bit unnerving to listen to the engine drone away like that, but I suppose I will get used to it. So anyway, my neighbor has a sportsman 500 and when I got it he was intrigued by the ACE and said let's go try it on the powerlines behind our house, which I would never be interested in doing on my big bear, but I love it on my dirt bikes.

So anyway, first time out I smashed the winch cover off on a protruding rock. The neighbor suggested I look into a lift kit to get it a little higher up in the air. I looked around and only found kits for the McPherson strut machines, but nothing for the dual A-Arm machines. Does anyone know of a reputable company that makes a kit for the dual A-Arm machines?

Also, if I can ask another question, since I am still a little skittish about the CVT tranny and belt, is it worth getting one of those infra-red belt temp gauges? Any other mods that people think are worthwhile (e.g. ECU remap, clutch kit, etc)? Want to make it last longer, not necessarily any faster.

Thanks for any help!

Ok, so noticed last summer that the Hawkeye was puffing blue smoke, so it's time to give it some TLC and do a top end rebuild, at least I think that's the issue without doing more digging. Obviously I'll be doing more research before any purchase are made.

Since I'd rather not drop the coin on finding a 400 to upgrade, and I'm going to be tearing down anyway, is there an advantage in getting an over bore kit? and what pitfalls should I lookout for in the process?

It's been 20+ Years since I've torn a motor down of any size so any help would be greatly appreciated.
