When my 14 Outlander Max 1000 is hot the starter struggles to start the engine. Is this a starter issue? What is the fix?

my front left cv joint has got oily looking stuff on it but there is no oily looking stuff anywhere else,,, it is all over that "black cylindrical" part that is about 2" in diameter and 2 inches long right after the spline that goes into the front drive differential thing and right before the inner boot. does this mean the seal is going? i can't figure out where the oil is coming from o ther than that, the rest of the cv joint is dry.

i think they are the stock cv joints and i have put 3500 VERY, VERY hard miles on this poor atv.

if i have to buy new cv joints,, any recommendations for decent ones? stay with stock polaris? or are there better aftermarket ones. not looking for carbon fiber adamantium crazy expensive ones, just something that will last another 3k miles.

thanks for any help,,,

I have a 2002 sportsman 700 and just drove the Mrs. around the field in low for about 10min and it overheated! Combined we are around 325lb. The fan didn't turn on and I noticed steam coming from the front. Any thought? It flashed to signal it was overheated but the fan never came on.
Thanks

Bought my new 1000 max three months ago took into dealer in Kelowna for its first service when the maintance required at 1129 km this is a ten hour service when I dropped it off told them a pinging noise was comeing from the front of the machine when runnning. Of coarse they couldn’t find anything wrong. But still charged me 59.50 plus tax to look at it. And said go to go. We left next day to ride all over kootneys put on 850 km the pinging noise came back took back to dealer with a vid recording of the noise and they know right away what it was at that point so they called back to day saying they got clutch apart and needs one way bearing rollers and ball bearings. So it’s getimg fixed but was told I should have had clutch serviced at 1000km and because it wasn’t done it might not be covered under warranty shouldn’t the clutch been look at when they did the 10 hour service with cost me 698.21 with 179.97 was for a case of 0w40 oil

Hi my name is Todd I am from BC and ride a 2018 outlander max xt 1000

I just became the lucky owner of a 2000 xpedition 325 4x4. I said lucky because it didn’t cost me a dime. I will be combing through the archives searching for any relatable information. If anyone has any tips or otherwise useful information about the quad, please feel free to message me. Happy trails!!

I bought it used from a dealership two months later the fuel pump went bad so I change that and it still wouldn't start so I change the injector and that didn't help don't know what else to check any thoughts would be greatly appreciated

Is engine removal required on a 2011 Polaris 500 to change head gasket? And how likely is is it for the head to be cracked ? Thanks much.

Iv recently had my valves adjusted at a shop and ever since Iv gotten it back it seems to be chattering alot more than it was prior to adjustment
