Hi guys,

I have a new to me 2004.5 Sportsman 500. It needs a new rear auxiliary brake master cylinder. Normally, I'm not the corner cutting type and I know that in the majority of cases, OEM trumps all.

Given that these things seem to be a common failure point on these machines, however, I'm wondering what the heck the difference would be if I just bought a replacement from Amazon for $12. What are all you guys using for your replacements? OEM or Amazon?

Any input is welcome.

Does anyone know if 26x10 will fit on the front and 26x12 on the back without lifts or spacers?

Thank you.

Has any one ever put a highlifter 1k bumper on 850 sp pros and cons

Pulled the right rear CV joint out of the transmission on the left rear side. Trying to change the inner boot. So, I pulled out the shaft from the transmission, has a little lock ring on the inside of shaft but I do not know how to get the Cap off the end! I've watched a few youtube videos and one shows an inner lock ring on the cap, one shows a ring on the inner shaft which I have neither! Could someone give me a pointer here? I even have a Polaris 2008 Sportsman EFI service manual and it doesn't even show any of this!

Hello everyone..im glad to be here ..i am looking to gather as much knowledge and absorb it like a sponge..look forward to talking to you all ..from hobbs New Mexico

Just received a letter from BRP saying that there’s a recall on all 2018 outlander and renegade models. They are saying not to use bike until they fixed the problem. Ok from reading the posts on the 2017 outlander 570 recall there were a lot of people pissed off because they were taken to long to fix the problem and warranty was finished, so there no way I’m not using my bike until it’s done. That’s like bringing a child to a candy store and telling them not to eat candy. Lol

2874774 part number pls let me know if u have one tnks

So, my old magnet switch was very broken. Cracked and split open housing, I could crank the bike by pull cord but it wouldn’t start w button. Anyhow, called local
Polaris dealer for a part and the part I got doesn’t resemble the one I took off. The one I took off is slightly smaller and had a ground wire attached to the battery box, had two wires coming off of it. A red wire with a male terminal to connect to a red wire on bike w female end and it also had a black signal wire. Also had 2 battery posts, one to starter and one from battery. The replacement only has a red signal wire. No ground wire. How do I hook this thing up missing the black wire and ground wire going to battery box?

Hey all, having some issues with my old bird. The two wires ( red white and red) from the key switch touched and then i lost spark. i smelled a little plastic burn but i cant trace it back to anything. I have replaced the CDI, Spark plug, stator and rewired the whole board. still no luck! Ive unplugged the CDI black wire from the board and removed the limiter wires aswell, but nothing seems to be giving me any spark! bunch of crapola if you ask me. if anyone knows of any tips and tricks, im open to getting my hands dirty to get this thing back on the trails.

Thanks alot guys!!

I just recently bought this about 2 weeks ago for a great price and decided to do some very much needed maintenance in the front end.

I removed the center link and tie rods to have them replaced but now when installing the new center link it doesn't clear the frame or the nut for the upper A-arm. I even reinstalled the old center link and it doesn't clear either. I am all out of ideas as to what I did wrong here.

I know the center link goes on top according to this diagram.
