My wife was driving around my(our) 04 sportsman 700 twin and said the atv just shut off, absolutely 0 power, I've checked the basics, battery,battery cables,kill switch(position)ect..nothing.
My father in law and I putz around with a voltmeter for a bit but honestly dont know what we are doing, well a little, but does any one have an obvious idea of what it is?? Been checking out some vids on youtube but not really helping. Thanks

Hey guys I got a 2018 renegade xmr 1000 looking for a catvos lift which is a better set up the 4” lift or the 6” lift

Purchased a 2018 Sportsman 850 SP a few weeks ago, went out riding yesterday and was cleaning her up this morning when I was putting the back tires on and torquing them down to the 75 foot pounds that the manual recommended I twisted the stud off ???? This is my first Polaris, is this A issue are am I just the lucky one:sad. should this be covered under the Warranty ?

Can you get a glacier 1 plow mount for a 2015 sportsman 1000? Or has anyone fabricated one for your wheeler? Bought a glacier 1 plow before I did my research. Any advice/help much appreciated

Hi guys, I'm shopping for my 3rd Polaris (sold others and upgrading)...looking for a 2017 Sportsman 850 SP and need of advice.

1) I'm assuming I can put on a 28" tire with no modifications or issues?

2) If I go with a 28" won't I gain about an inch of ground clearance?

3) Looking for tire advice! I ride about 40% snowy frozen lake, 25% ditch, 25% trail (we ride through plenty of mud on trails don't hunt for it), 10% deep snowplowing. Couple notes.. When we ride it's about 50% moderately fast trail riding, 50% slow technical, and some smaller wet muddy holes to go through on trail. My priority is the ATV looking mean, confidence & ability to get through deep snow and some occasional mud, yet maintaining a somewhat a decent ride at speed. Obviously I realize there will be some sacrifice to go with an aggressive tire.

I've attached a picture of what I think would be awesome, but I bet this would be horrendous on dry trails? Any suggestions based on my riding and criteria? I'd love something ultra aggressive, yet tolerable on dry trails.

What would you point me to?!

First let me intro myself. I'm a 69 yr old ex military pilot and certified Geezer. My one year old 450 developed a condition that would not charge the battery while running. Battery finally dropped enough to not start the engine. My bad, after I took the battery out, l found it was very low on electrolyte. Filled it up and it charged to full but I figured I'd toasted it so I put in a new one. Didn't fix the problem. Here are the symptoms:
1. turn key on and volts read 11,5;
2. start engine and volts read 11.3-11.5 at idle and remain there;
3. rev engine to about 3500 rpm and voltage jumps to 13.6-13,9 and fluctuates between those numbers;
4. turn on low beams and volts drop to 11.5 until I rev to 3500 then back to 13,6+ volts ;
6. start driving in H about 10 mph and voltage starts fluctuating between 12.3 and 13.6.

Anyone experienced this phenomena? Loose/broken wire or loose connection or bad regulator? I do most of the small maintenance myself but not very knowledgeable about the stator/regulator systems on ATV's.

Goes without saying that I would appreciate any tips / advice on this. Thanks !!!

2015 Outlander 800, 500 miles on it. Just bought it used. Really looked new when I got it. Just did the 100 Hr maintenance (only had 76 hrs on it) at dealer $639 worth. Has annoying squeal in neutral and park and when cruising. Squeal goes away in gear and just idling but returns louder as you accelerate and cruise. It definitely is coming from the clutch drive belt area.
I had put a Gates Belt on it, dealer Tech told me to use only OEM Can Am belts the others can damage the clutch plates. He replaced it with a Can Am belt. This sounds like hog wash to me. Any advise would be appreciated
