Picked up a 2010 with low miles last spring that came equipped with Polaris tracks. This fall I was told by someone who should know that you should always drive in low range to prevent drive belt wear. This sounds over the top to me. I can see if towing for instance that this would be correct. I got it for ice fishing and plan on towing my fish house and for travelling to and from it. I am, of course, new to tracks so any other advice would be appreciated.

Hello,

I was thinking of getting a salt spreader or the ATV but I use mainly the sand salt mixture that the municipality provides. Does anyone have any experience with the salt spreaders using sand salt?

I'm trying to pull the clutch on a 97 sportsman so I can access my starter. Anybody know the bolt size fir the clutch so I dont have to use a puller? I was told if I put a metal rod in the bolt hole and thread another bolt into the clutch I could free it without a puller.

Thanks

I am investigating a 2011 Sportsman 550. Owner claims it has EPS. From what I've learned (please correct me if I'm wrong), the base model didn't come with EPS. The "upper" models did. This is camo, which I believe is how the base model, or the Browning came. Can anyone tell from the picture, or from their experience, if this has EPS? I am a couple hours away from it, and don't wanna waste a trip. Did the camo EPS models have an EPS sticker on the headlamp housing like others have?

Thanks

All,

I am new to this game but I am trying to learn. So far, I have learned that having the 2004.5 model sucks for trying to get parts!
I wanted to upgrade to full cv axles so I bought the eastlake axles for the 2005, but they are to long.
My question is can I just jump up to the 2005+ lower control arms or do I have to go back?
I fell into the didn't know my axels could slide out upon adding the 2" lift pucks for leveling crowd.

I am wondering if the newer lower control arms which nave a more forward ball joint fit in my frame rail, or do I just go back to the standard u-joint inner axles?

Thanks for any help!

Hey all, so I have about 1700 miles on my polaris and all of the sudden, when I was on AWD going through snow, I just heard some kind of metallic snap sound? like a mini explosion? occasionally when I push it, you can still hear something. I havent opened up my belt case yet, so I am hoping that is the culprit (been too cold)

I am wondering if you guys have any experience with this and if it definitely sounds like the belt? ATV wont move in any gear and has to be pushed

i am new to the forum, i have seen others post very similar issues but never found a solution posted. any help is appreciated..

this is a sporadic issue.... more common in cold....
when i try and start my quad i get a clicking at the solenoid. some times if i keep trying the ingnition the quad starts. other times it does not. when it does not i can ground the 2 posts on the solenoid and and the quad starts and runs fine. i thought a faulty solenoid so i replaced it. same thing, sometimes starts other times doesnt but i can always jump the solenoid and start the quad. when this happens i get an engine light and code of 520 193 (IAC) not sure what it has to do with starting but they go hand in hand. battery reads 12.7, havent checked it when the quad is on.

thanks for any advise....
