Powersteering

Is there an easy way to tell if I have powersteering on my ATV? I bought it used and was trying to figure I out if it does?

2013 850 Scrambler XP

I have a problem with my 850 scrambler XP! !!!! I was useing it, got off to do a task, left it idling and it died. Tried to restart and it would not hit a lick!!! I put a gallon of fuel in the tank after a 1/2 mile walk and it still wouldn't hit a lick, not even try to fire off, so towed it back to house. It only has 30 hours on the engine, ran good up until it died. I pulled the plugs, nice light brown color, hooked up the plug wires an had spark to both plugs. So I assume it's not getting fuel. Tried the throttle setting thing, still no results. So I'm not to informed about fuel injection. I have worked for a Honda/Kawasaki dealer as a mechanic/service manager back in 80's, mostly 4 wheelers and 3 wheelers for farmers. Rest was on motorcycle with carburetors.
Now retired an on my small farm. Use the 4 wheeler to get around because of infasemia.
Oh, one other thing, the fuel pump doesn't sound the same as before when you turn the key. I'm thinking fuel pump but with only 30 hrs on the machine, that shouldn't be so soon!!!
Next can it be removed without taking the fuel tank out of the machine?
So anyone out there that can throw some help please respond, I'm 75 yrs old an can't walk to far, need my wheels.

Local Dealer Claims…

2018 sealed unit wheel bearings fit previous models and are $4 cheaper than non-sealed units.
Can anyone confirm this?
Can anyone confirm that they are FAR better than non-sealed?

New to this

Hey everyone,
Im new to this forum thing but since im recently the new proud owner of a '16 sportsman 850HO, i thought I'd give this a shot. Im big on hearing/reading about real world experience with products so i look forward to seeing what people have to say on parts, mods, etc. on my ATV. Ive owned a few ATVs in my day but never a Polaris so im all ears to suggestions.

97 scrambler 400 rebuilding front hubs

I am going to be rebuilding the front hubs with new bearings and seals, figured I would replace the armature plates while I am in there, I have watched videos and read forums so i know what to do, I see that the package that has the bearings and seals come with what look like 2 o-rings about the size of the seals. I haven’t seen anyone mention using them, anyone have an idea if a use them?

Deluxe Fairing and aftermarket LED Lights

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to outfit my deluxe fairing with some lights but don't want to pay the for the pricey ones from Canam. I have seen similar posts here with DIY'er's and I have a few questions. Should these lights be flood or spot? I'm considering these:


Any ideas or input?

Squealing noise on 850/1000

We are at Hatfield McCoy right now. Were from northern Michigan. We went on our 1st ride here today. After a bit of riding I noticed my machine was making a noise I had never heard before. When we stopped my wife said the same thing about her machine too. At idle it doesn’t make it. As soon as you take off up until about 4500 rpm it makes it. Soon as you get over that rpm it stops. The machines run fine nothing wrong that we noticed. It just weird that both machines are making the same noise and neither have made it before? Is it something to do with being at a different elevation? I’m attaching a video so you can hear it. Well I tried to attach a video and can’t figure it out? I can only attach pics?
I just figured it out. Hopefully this link works.
