Guys looking for recommendations. Everything on the machine is stock and like new condition with 30" tires etc. I plan to trail ride in woods, hatfld McCoy annually, with some solid mud riding on occasion. So I'll ride here and there not often really. I read where some said " this is not a ride the trail with some mud kinda machine"...well actually that's what I'm here hoping it is haha
CV Boots
Hello All, I have a 16' Rene XXC 850 and seem to be going through OEM CV Boots like crazy. Not sure if anyone else has experienced this or not, but I've replaced all 4 on front and now it looks like a pin-hole leak on the inner rear. I have skid plates, so I don't think I'm hitting anything. I'm just not sure if OEM's are built to last. Can anyone suggest a good aftermarket CV boot to try? Thanks in advance!!!
2014 Sportsman 400 Scrubbing/ grinding
When I turn the key over it fires right up but after letting off the key it continues to make a scrubbing or grinding noise (best way i know to describe it) for about 1.5-2 secs. Whats causing this and is it going to lead to another issue?
570 Dust cover fix.
Hey guys, on a recent hunting trip over Easter with a group of mates I was riding my sportsman through some thick bush and I notice that after the trip I was missing the little rubber dust cover on the hub. I ordered 2 new ones from my local Polaris dealer and they cost me $80 for both. So hopefully I won't have to replace them again, I have used a cable tie to secure them to the hub a bit better and they seem harder to remove now. Hope it works.

1999 sportsman 500 front shock mounts
The upper front shock mounts keep wearing out. I changed them a year ago and they are worn again. I have not even done that much riding. Has anyone have this problem before. When I hit bumps I get a loud bang and can feel it in the front end again.
2017 sportsman 450
Hello. I am replacing the timing chain tensioner with a Alba racing fixed adjuster. I haven't found a whole lot on these atv's online other than the typical I'm beating my new ATV videos on YouTube. So does anyone know where I'd find the TDC marks on this model? Alba recommends timing be just past tdc to ensure both valves are closed prior to removing the hydraulic tensioner installed by Polaris. I'm sure by the time I'm down with the second one I'll be pro style at doing them.
30 silverbacks on xxc 850
Just wondering if anyone has experience with putting 30" tires on a xxc 850. I have a fender flare kit that I will have to remove but it also looks like the tires will hit the stock wheel wells on the rear.
2005 500 overheating light immidiatly comes on
I just recently replaced my fan. Have put about 50 miles on it since. Now when I turn the key to power up the bike the hot light comes on. I unplug the connection to the thermistor sensor and the fan does not kick on. I unscrewed the thermistor to clean it and antifreeze shot out. Is that normal? What steps should I take next. I guess I need to get power to the fan to make sure it still works.
Winch Install
Just completed Superwinch LT3500 install. Eliminated Superwinch rocker switch and used existing wiring with purchased OEM winch switch. Since I wasn’t sure which wire was in or out for contactor I tried it one way and when pressing “IN” on switch made cable go out. So I switched wires on contactor thinking this would resolve but when I tried it would only trip waterproof breaker I installed. So I switched wires back and it works, just not as switch should. I thought flipping switch wires to contactor would determine this function.
15 800 xmr seat sucks
Can anyone recommend something to make this seat more durable? Is there one made better? Mine is seriously weak at the forward in and flimsy. I just got that machine and compared the seat to my dad's 2001 Polaris seat and it's 100x built better !!! Unreal poor quality on this seat dang.
