What are most causes for this, hightemp limp home mode, to occur? I've done some research on these forums and others, it would just be nice to have a list to refer too so I can check everything over and try to figure out what's going on with my outty! I'm going to go home today and remove the rad completely, give it a good wash, then check my thermo and water pump are working good. Any other ideas on what I can do or check on 'er? Any ideas will help!

This problem has happened before but most times it was just a plugged rad from mud, so it was surprising to see it was clean, with my coolant level at a good level. The only other thing I did/changed on the outty was the rear wheel bearings before this problem occurred.

Any help and ideas will help boys!

I just ordered these for my XP 850.... They are supposed to seal up the wheel bearing area from mud and water and triple the life of you're wheel bearing's. For 35.00 I figured I'd give them a shot. Found them on Facebook so we will see how it goes.

Good morning I just purchased a 1996 Xplorer 400 with about 500 miles on it. Electric start doesn’t work but pull start does, battery looks ancient. Throttle cable looks to get loose at certain times also. I am looking to do a complete change of all the fluids before I start riding it. I have downloaded the Polaris service manual but it is very vague in terms of the finding the drain and fill plugs. I will attach some pics of my machine in the hopes you all could steer me in the right direction. I appreciate the help.

I believe I have found the transmission and the counter balance fills but cannot find the oil, transmission, gear or counter balance drain bolts.

Hi all!

If you saw my previous thread about getting gas out of the tank, here's the update on my 2009 Polaris Sportsman 500.

I replaced the fuel pump with a working one. There is pressure on the lines because I got a faceful of gasoline when I removed the hose to check.
I also got a new spark plug and fuel filter.

Engine turns over but won't fire.

I poured a little gas into the spark plug hole. It ALMOST fired.

I checked for fuel where the line goes into the engine right above the spark plug. Fuel squirted out.

Now I'm stuck. I don't know what else to do.

Do you guys think the port where the fuel goes into the engine towards the spark plug is clogged? It seems to me the gas is not reaching the plug. If so, is there a way to clean it?

Any other possibilities it won't start?

The stock Holeshots already have punctures after 20hrs riding and I’m looking at getting Blackwater Evo’s. I only ride logging roads and trails. Do you lose a lot of top end when switching to a 28” tire?

Just installed a new 450 watt stereo on my 2015 outlander 1000. I was riding it for about 20 minutes and when I pulled up to an intersection the machine just shut off. Not sure if anyone else has had this issue. Have the stereo wired to battery as the instructions said to. Machine immediately started up right after. Any tips or changes people have done to help this would be greatly appreciated.
