Need help troubleshooting Sportsman 570
Hello,
I have a 2015 Sportsman 570 which goes through a lot of mud (and sometimes doesn't make it through).
The battery went dead, I replaced it, happened again.
Fast forward and this is what I discovered:
With the key off, there is a 50 amp draw on the battery.
Disconnecting the voltage regulator from the stator (the 3 yellow wire connector) stop the draw.
I checked the yellow wiring from the VR to the stator and the plastic sheathing was filled with wet mud and the place where it routes between the oil filter and the engine was jammed with mud. I rerouted the wire and it still draws ~50 amps with key off.
That's as far as my understanding can get me.
Is the problem the VR, the stator, or something else?
Thank you!
Joseph

Sportsman front receiver hitch
Hello, New to the forum. I have a 18’ sportsman 450. I’m wanting to install a front receiver hitch on it to move my trailer around on my property. Has anyone installed a front hitch on theirs, if so where did you buy it? I can’t seem to find any online. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Sportsman 850 Thumb Throttle
Is there a way to adjust the thumb throttle lever position. I would like to rotate it so as to point a little more out along the grip instead of pointing back.
Arthritis in my thumb makes the long reach to the lever painful.
Thanks for any suggestions.

2006 Sportsman 700 Wiring
I have a 2006 700 twin. I was riding it today. Stopped at a stop sign. Took off and got 1/4 mile up the road and it lost all power and the ATV just rolled to a stop. Cluster went blank like it had no power to it. Aftermarket light bar still works, winch still works and it rolls over when you jump the selonoid. What could it be? I'm kinda irritated about it. The trails were ridiculously bumpy could I have rattled something loose or?!?!
2013 Sportsman 500 HO
Gentlemen,
Have the subject and it will not Idle @ 1200 rpms.
Here is the deal:
Carb has been cleaned numerous times
New float bowl seat and O Ring. New float bowl needle. Reset the floats to 14.5 mm spec from polaris.
New 40 pilot jet.
New 140 Main Jet and needle.
Pilot screw set at 2.5 turns out.
Choke is clean and closes completely.
Checked float bowl level by checking level with bowl drain line and fuel comes up to the mating surface of the bowl and carb.
Here is what the machine is doing:
Machine will crank and start only if throttle is pressed and butterfly valve is opened.
Machine runs and responds to pressing of the throttle, but will not idle. Good power when riding at >4000 rpms, Below 4000 rpms get hesitations
Machine will idle with attention to throttle lever. Machine will surge from 1400 rpms form to 2100 rpms but will not idle, if you do not stay on the throttle the machine will die.
Appears to me that at low idle speed the machine is running too rich but I may be wrong. It could be lean, but seems like there is excess unburned fuel in carb and air filter.
I have taken this mikuni carb in and out of the machine four or five times with various adjustments to the fuel mixture screw and nothing seems to fix the idle issue . Today I focused on the choke but it seems to be closing properly.
Carb Boot is good no rips or tears
Good fuel with sea foam mixed in. I'm at my wits end. Have rebuilt many carbs with no issues, but this one has me baffled. Beginning to hate BSTs
Thanks !:sad

Hello
Im new to the forum, i own a 425 magnum that i am slowly fixing up.
My kill switch died on me, and i was wondering that if i just cut the wires on the switch, will it bypass it?
