Hi everyone, My name is Don, and I'm having a time with Ranger 500 2007. Bought a top end kit for Sportsman 500 and all parts looked and fit. But after timing..new carb ( witch had gas coming out of overflow ) put the old carb. back on. Motor starts but runs rough, and has no power. I have rebuilt car and truck motors..never have I had a problem making them run. PS> I refaced the values and are set at .006 TDC. Just wondering if the cam is the same as Ranger 500? or maybe both carbs are bad..the new one and old one. If anyone has had problems like this I sure would appreciate some advice. Thanks to all hope you guys had a Merry Christmas, and have a Happy NY. Don.
Mr.
Hi to everyone, I have a Polaris 2007 Ranger 500..and I need some help...Thanks
2008 Sportsman 500 Carb. Fuses location?
Today, while plowing snow, (light duty) my 2008 500 Sportsman carb model, died. Engine quit and absolutely zero power. No lights. No speedo cluster power. No starter turning. Zip-ola. All dead. I pushed it back into my garage and started checking it over. My battery is a newer AGM type and measured 12.8 volts. Next I figured I'd look for fuses. I checked it over, no luck finding any. I referenced my owner's manual. It claims the fuse panel could buy accessed by opening the front rack lid. Remove the inner access cover to access the area where the rad cap is. Did that...No fuse panel. Pulled the headlight pod apart, no fuse panel. Pulled the plastic cover off, under the pod/forward top section of fuel tank. No fuse panel. WTH am I missing here? Pic as it sits now is below. Next I'll take the rear fender plastic off to access the starter relay and fusible link to check. Could be my key-switch too I suppose. Any tips on fuses location? Thanks.
Loose connector (2008 500 EFI)
Hey folks,
While doing some work trying to figure out the fan circuit breaker, I noticed this wire with 4 prong connector hanging under the pod not connected to anything.
Does anyone have any idea what this connector would be for? Everything but the cooling fan is functioning properly but I doubt this has anything to do with it. I was thinking maybe it's an accessorie connection for something? I did not see anything in the owners manual.
Anyway, the machine is a 2008 Sportsman 500 efi ho.

Rear suspension mods G1
Has anyone modified the sway bar to actually make the rear end independent suspension, talking about G1's here?
Never looked at a G2 to know what they are running.
They were always advertised as TTI but as we all know they aren't really independent, there can be bugger all twisting in the torsion bar to allow them to move independently.
Had thought of cutting the bar and maching each end in the centre down and fitting a press fit sleeve between them for support. not that it would really be doing anything there then, just holding in the keys basically.
Saw an old vid where a bloke cut his, i think he removed it completely later and it improved the ride, for slower speed stuff, not sure on high speed.
Sorry if it;s been covered before, i dod a search and didn't find anything asking the same.

New owner 2015 325
I am a new owner of a 2015 325 etx. Has almost 700 miles. I need to replace the front and rear axle on the right side. The CV boot is broke and hear clunk noise. Would I need to do the opposite side as well? From there I may replace bushings as needed . I need to replace the rear brake lights too. I am going to search the forum . If anyone has advice or link or anything else to look for I'd appreciate your help.

non cranking 570 (2014)
Last time out the 570 ran great, no problems. shut it off in the barn it sat for about 5 days, went out to start it and the wind up and speedometer did not happen. Thought it was the on off switch- no, no lights. Plugged in a trickle charger and it started charging immediately. Let it charge for almost a week, still no power, lights or anything?
any help would be great. I also checked the fuses all 5, 10, 20 amp fused were good, don't know about the black box fuses?
thank you!

Advice 2014 Sportsman 400HO upgrades
Just recently got 2014 Polaris sportsman 400 HO. The machine has very little use. Looking to hear opinions/advice on some suggested upgrades to the wheeler.
Will be mainly using it for around my property, some trail riding, hunting and ice fishing. Currently has no winch so I’m looking for recommendations on that.
Any other recommendations on possible issues and upgrades that would benefit me.
Also if anyone has anything they are selling that may be of interest to me please feel free to let me know. Thank you in advance for the help
