Hello,
Newbie to forum, here.
Own a 2018 Sportsman 570 Touring, purchased immediately after our (surprise! 😃 ) Easter blizzard here. We love it!
I'm a retired USCG CWO4ENG4, 26 years active and, 7 years as a GS-13 at HQ (in DC 😕, nice place to visit, but having avoided HQ/DC like a plague for my entire active duty, went there for a 'retirement' job.....sick! 😂 ).
Anyway,glad to be here.
Dave

I have an 89 trail boss 250 4x4 and only one of the front tires would spin and it was very random (made plowing a pain). I've tinkered for days and now I have no front wheels spinning. I replaced the armature plates inside the clutch assembly, checked for magnetic pull, the rollers look great along with all the bearings. Could the magnets be too weak? I just put some new Mud lite ITP's on it and spring is around the corner so I'd love some input. I have uploaded some YouTube videos if I'm allowed to post if that helps.... I wanna keep this old beast going!! Thanks

Having issues with this thing. Hopefully someone here will be able to help point me in the right direction.
Here a while back the battery got real weak but the bike still fired up, it ran fine in low, but wouldn't get over 5500 rpm 45mph in high.
I charged the battery over night the next day it ran fine. Parked it up for a few weeks came back the battery was low again and the bike was doing he same thing. I charged the battery but no change. That was the original battery
Hoping it was the battery I picked up a new battery he other day installed it but ge bike is still doing the same thing, runs fine in low range but won't get over 5500 rpm in high.
I haven't checked the fuel pressure yet, I don't want to splice the fuel line unless I just absolutely have to, figured I'd check here first to see if someone else may have had the same issue

Hey guys and gals new member from Louisiana. Thanks for letting me be a part of yalls community.

Hey guys just bought a 2018 sportsman 1000 XP this last Saturday, went for a ride Sunday and found that the bike shifts kinda hard and the engine braking is hard much harder then any other polaris I've ridden. Is it possible I already have issues or is this just part of 1000 life . Cheers

I bought a 2019 Sportsman 450 in January and have put around 10 hours on the machine. After the second ride I noticed a chatter coming from the top end around 3000-3500 rmp. I took it back to the dealer and they said it's normal. I come from a background of 2 stroke dirtbikes where valve chatter doesn't exist so this could normal? I'm just looking for a little guidance from other Polaris people of what's normal and what needs to be taken to another shop. Thanks in advanced!

Here is the youtube link of the noise.

Hey guys. I recently sold my can am spyder. I have brand new saddle bags that are still in the plastic hardware and all. Never been opened. Asking $800 obo. Let me know if ur interested. They can be color matched.

I have a 2010 Polaris sportsman 850 XP and my transmission bell crank for shifting gears broke off so I bought a HEAVY DUTY STEEL POLARIS TRANSMISSION BELL CRANK 15T and I just put it on today and now when I shift from park or neutral into a gear it just starts driving away and tries to stall but as long as I am on the gas it works fine.

It seems the last owner of my 2013 Polaris Sportsman 500 HO removed the Hall effect sensor when the speedometer stopped working. Does anyone know a part number for the screw which holds the sensor in place?
