I'm new here, I have a 2013 Polaris sportsman 850 XP HO,

I have to apply the brake handle extra hard or pump front brakes several times too start in gear. Brake light comes on as it should with foot brake. No fluid leakage, any ideas?

My nephew was riding across the field. I hear the motor winding out. Before I could get to him, the machine stopped and backfired. I was not there so this is second hand info from him.....
He was riding for about 7-10 minutes after I heard the high rev...
It cranks but wont start. I am charging the battery now.
I intend to follow the standard / posted trouble shooting, electric, gas , compression.
Anybody have this experience?
Any thoughts on what to look for ?

thanks for reading and your consideration

While crawling out of a mudhole today I heard a pop, at the time after doing a quick look over on the trail everything seemed fine, rode fine the rest of the day. Once I got got back to the truck and loaded the atv on the trailer I noticed oil leaking at the rear end. It looks like the seal where the drive shaft goes in is leaking.

So my question is

Is this just one of those things that happen or is there anything to look for that could cause the seal to blow? I am assuming the noise was from blowing the seal. Never heard another noise out of the ordinary the rest of the day.

Hello. My names Chris. I just bought a 2014 Polaris Sportsman 850 h.o.. I've ridden it 3 times. The first time out on the trails the power steering light came on, then after shutdown it wont restart. It just clicks. I took it back to the dealership and they said it was the battery. They put a brand new battery in it yesterday. I went riding yesterday with no issues. Today I rode it one block to a friends house and the power steering light came on again. After I parked I went to start it again and it just clicks. Same issue. Needless to say I am more than frustrated at this point having just paid my left testicle to get this machine! The dealer is closed today but it will be going back there first thing tomorrow. What is the issue so I can walk in there with some knowledge and not get handed back the same brokedown P.O.S. machine?! Thank you for your help!!

I have searched and searched I can not find Halo lights for my sportsman 850 sp 2018. Please I hope someone on here can point me in the right direction.

I have a 2013 Polaris sportsman 550. Today I was riding around the local trails and had been riding for about an hour. I stopped the atv and put it into reverse. When I looked down at my instrument cluster my check engine light was on. I put the atv into high and drove just a few seconds and it went off. I continued to ride it hard for about another hour and it never came back on. Anyone ideas what it could have possibly been?

I just recently bought a 2018 outlander XMR 850 and so course I have the same heat issue as everyone else and I'm just wondering if there's a way to keep my fan on when I turn the wheeler off? It has the new push on key so I cant turn it to accessory like on the older models

I usually use the app “off road forums” to access this site. It appears to have stopped working a few days ago. Not sure if the app is affiliated with this site but I was checking if others are having this issue?

I have a 2018 outlander 570 with 27 mudlite xtr's. I need help deciding what clutch kit to get. The quad is used only for hunting. My gear consist of a bag with misc. Gear, tent, sleeping bag, gas, and food also my rifle. When hunting I usually harvest up to 3 caribou. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
