My 2005 330 magnum Polaris 4 wheeler air fan runs will not shut off after I turn the key off and runs down the battery.
Hard Gear Shifter
Recently purchased a 1997 Polaris Sportsman Xplorer 500 and have been doing some TLC just for fun. Came across my gear shifter having some issues. It goes into and out of gear fine but I almost have to push it hard into gear and force it into reverse. Could it be a lack of oil problem? Rust on some piece in the gear shifter? Or are they just always hard to get into gear? It's my first ATV and am just not sure..

18 sportsman 850 heat from exhaust
Hey guys I’ve had my 850 for about a month now and I’ve noticed the exhaust is pretty close to the plastics and they get super hot when you ride it for a while just wondering if there’s any after market heat shielding or if I can do anything to prevent the plastics from getting so hot I ride double sometimes and the wife will not like her ass catching fire 😂😂 thanks in advance
Size of radiator cooling fan?
My 2015 Outlander 650 MAX XT cooling fan is squealing away. It still works, but in the interest of reliability, I would like to replace BEFORE it totally fails and overheats the engine in our 100* days. The Spal website lists MANY different sizes. I would like to order my fan assembly before I tear everything down. Does anyone know the size of the stock setup? (diameter)
Gentlemen thank you in advance.

When Do 2019’s Arrive?
When will the 2019's hit the dealerships? Most interested in a Maverick X3, but a Renegade may be on the list as well. :th_smiliewoo:
Just getting started
Hello all.
Just joined the forum and looking to get back into the ATV scene. I have friends that ride and I used to have an old Rincon 450. Been looking at getting a new ATV in the near future and really have liked the Sportsmans. I am looking at getting an 850 and was wondering if there was any issues I should know about. I have looked at several other brands and honestly the only 2 that I have enjoyed so far are the Grizzly and the Sportsman but definitely 2 very different machines. I will mainly be doing trails/light mud/hills in Minnesota and plowing my 292 foot driveway. Still looking at plows or possibly even a snow blower attachment and will eventually change out the stock tires with Kenda Bearclaw HTR's. The main person I will be riding with has a 2016 Sportsman 1000 hunters edition.
Last time I rode was in 2016 and was on a few bikes back then. Again loved the Sportsman (most comfortable and great power) and Grizzly's (smoothest throttle). Didn't care for the Suzuki (lacked power and suspension was a bit loose) and the Can Am was great in a straight line but had more body roll than a 1970's Cadillac in the twisties.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Can-Am skid plates for Outlander Max XT 2018
Could someone tell me where those OEM BRP skid plates are made?
1992-1996 f150 sway bar bushing for steering
Well needing a new upper steering post bushing I mic’d the steering post at about 1”. As close as I could get with the gauge pod still on. I found a 1992-1996 sway bar bushing with strap from a f150 fit the dimensions I needed. Trimmed some off the tabs to make it the same width as the factory strap and it bolted right up.
Waterproof Storage Containers – Similar To Pelican
I just bought these storage containers for inside the rear compartment and for up front in my trunk. I used to use a small Pelican case to store all my tools so I wouldn't have to worry about rust etc... but they are grossly overpriced for what they are.
I purchased these storage cases from a Canadian company called Hard Cases and the fella I dealt with was David. Awesome service and great products..... especially given the price! Website below.

I'm going to use the larger orange case for my tools, the smaller red one for a first-aid kit and the compact orange one will fit my insurance/registration, wallet and Iphone 8 Plus (with phone case) and has a bit of room to spare! The containers also come in a really great variety of colors. Here's a few photos for you guys. The latches are way better then the Pelican cases I've had in the past and the little orange case has a rubber divider in it to keep items strapped in so they don't bang around too much.

Warranty if service not done at dealer?
Hello,
Likely a stupid question, but my 2017 Outlander 450 is ready for the 100hr service, I had the 50 hour one done at the dealer back a few months back but the dealer wants $400 CAD plus tax for this service, and I think that it is not worth that much, and I have someone else that can do it cheaper then that.
I got the bike in November so it is still covered by its normal warranty from what I know, but when I brought it it came with a 5 year extended warranty as well. Wondering if they can void this warranty if I do not get it serviced at the dealer and do it on my own / get someone else to do it. Some of my friends tell me if you use their oils its fine but then others say you have to get it done there. The last thing I want is for the motor or something to go and them not cover it because I never got it done at the dealer.
Thank you.
