polaris 850 sportsman, no 4×4

Hi folks , wonder if anyone has encountered this one , I have a polaris 850 sportsman 2014 bike , used for work ( farm ) & play , bike has been good recently while reversing there was a metalic clunk and no drive from front diff , the shaft is still turning going into diff but no drive to wheels , removed diff expecting to see a mess inside but its like new isnt that old after all and has been maintained .
Kinda stumped where to look as switch at grip is working as is indicator on dash panel but no drive , could it be shafts ? Glad to hear any ideas .
Thanks
Jim

27-9×12/11×12 tire choices?

Hi there,

Gonna order a Outlander Max 6x6 as soon as the snow has gone and I dont want to use the OE ACT tires. They suck imho. I dont do any mud riding, maybe riding on some marsh if I have to but mostly it will be rocky terrain, riverbeds and gravel roads.
Previously I used the Maxxis Ceros on my Outlander 650 which I was extremely happy with. Excellent tires with great traction when properly aired down. Would buy them again in a heartbeat if they was delivered in 27-9x12/11x12 but they aren't so I have to find something similar.

I have found 3 alternatives which all look pretty decent.
Tusk Terrabite
(GBC)Kanati Mongrel
Carlisle Versa Trail ATR

Out of these three, the Versa Trail is a 6 ply tire which I like, the rest are 8 or 10 ply.
I dont want or need tires with stiff sidewalls.
Any experience on these tires, good or bad?

Wheel/tire fitment

Hello all,
New guy here, I have a 2018 Outlander X Xc 1000R. I stumbled across a pretty good deal on some 29.5 9.5 outlaws. I cannot get a good answer from anyone on whether they will fit without a lift or not. Surely someone on here has tried. Any info would be greatly appreciated. If I have to trim or any of that, then I would rather lift or go with a smaller tire. Thanks in advance!

Fit 29.5 outlaw 1’s on 17’ renegade xc

Can anyone tell me how to fit these with out doing any trimming or cutting. I don’t want to do the pipe lift. Will just spacers work? If so what width will I need? Moving floor boards? Any other way please explain what worked for you.

Fit 29.5” outlaw 1’s on 17’ renegade Xc

Can anyone tell me how I can fit these on my gade without cutting? I don’t want to do the pipe lift. I would rather do spacers or move floor boards. If spacers will work, what width do I need? Any other way please explain. They are 10” wide tires all the way around.

Ok, todays stupid Model # ???

my invoice says:

2018 ATV Outlander 570 EFI SG 18

when I go to BRP website to look around for things like snorkels and other things the compatibility chart only list a G2 or a G2L

the G2L is for the 450 and 570

the G2 is for the 650, 850 and 1000

Im going to call the dealer tomorrow but has anyone else have this weird issue

Polaris sale

Polaris is running a sale on line and it includes 100$ off on winches when you use the promo code it lists, I can't get it to apply to the winch for my 2016 base, anyone else see this on there and get it to work?

Traxter Won’t Start, Lost Compression

Hello All,
My Traxter was losing power while plowing snow and then stopped running and will not restart. Plugs are newer and have good spark. Seemed like it could be running out of fuel. Tank had plenty and fuel pump appears to be working fine when I pulled the supply line off the carb and cranked it. Pulled the carb, looked good, but took it apart and made sure it was as clean as it looked. Pulled valve cover and rockers seem to be working correctly. Finally got a compression gauge adapter for the small plugs and it reads no compression with throttle open, 30 psi with throttle closed??? Pulled the head and everything looks good. Inverted the head and filled the combustion chamber with alcohol, no valve leakage. Cylinder and head gasket looks excellent.

I have owned this since new and am really puzzled how it can look mechanically excellent and generate no compression???:th_smiliepullhair:
