Long time lurker, first time poster.

I've got a 1996 Sportsman 500. Took it out for the first time in a year yesterday and rode it pretty hard. When braking the front end rattles pretty aggressively. Sounds like its coming from the left side more so than the right side, but I could be mistaken. It starts when you begin engaging the front brakes but does continues through deceleration even when the brakes have been disengaged. Originally thought it may be brakes but calipers are brand new as are the pads, property installed and do not move even a mm when you try to move them by hand. Rotors aren't warped.

Could it be a bearing/U-Joint?

I'm sorry if this is a poor description but I'm not particularly mechanically inclined so I did my best. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I have a 2017 Outlander 1000 that I put tracks on a couple days ago. Obviously my speed is way off. I ordered the speed control module from BRP but I don't know where to install it. I called the dealership which was no help, he didn't even know which side of the bike to install it.

Looking for pics or instructions where to install this thing. I cant find anything on the net.

Thanks

Thanks and looking forward to conversations.

I have been riding my newly acquired 1993 trailboss 250 4x4 after getting it running. Well the other day the battery was dead. I charged it and checked the voltage and it was 12.8v. When i turn the ignition on it drops to 12.4v. While idleing the voltage slowly drops until the battery is dead. If i give it barely any throttle it jumps to 12.8v and the more throttle the more it goes up and stops at 13.9v. I checked all the wires and did a ohms test as described in the polaris service manual and it checked out. The yellow wires off the stator while idling show 14vac. And if i turn the machine off i have battery voltage at the rectifier. Do i have a bad stator? Also do these machines charge at idle?

quick question
can't seem find out about oil cooler fan
i noticed that my oil cooler lifts up from bottom there are two bolts but don't seem to attach to any thing and back side has a nut on back side of bushing are they suppose to connect
maybe they are broken bolts

I was working on the bike last night, 2004 sportsman 600. I have play where the yoke slides over the transmission output shaft in the back. I'm hoping that the yoke is worn in the spline area and not the transmission output shaft. Is this usually the case?

Here you go.
