winch problem

Guys,

Has been very cold here for the area lately ... in the last 10 days or so down to -8 or -9F. Have also had some warmer weather. Yesterday we got 6" of snow. Needed the winch to work to make use of the plow on the ATV.

Temp was 15F. After a bit of hassle the 2007 Sportsman 500 EFI did start. Trying to get the blade to lower resulted in only the solenoid click. Needed to do something so ran up and down the 150 yard gravel driveway some. Then tried the winch and it did let the blade down so I cleared the driveway ... but the winch would not lift the blade. No solenoid sound.

Bike was not covered during the snow. Never is.

Any thoughts as to how to go about figuring out the problem. The maintenance manual is not very good in this neck of the woods.

Supposed to get to 35F tomorrow and 50F on Friday.

Thanks,

Mike

Shock rebuild

Have a 2012 renegade 1000 with the stock fox podium shocks non piggyback. I'm looking for any help with the seals and a special tool I read I need to take them apart with. I have the nitrogen set up and oil to rebuild.

2012 Sportsman 400 AWD

I have this Polaris I am selling. It was bought new by me and always regularly serviced. It has a fresh oil change with new air filter and the belt is new, along with a new battery. It has 1042 miles on it with new radial oversize tires ($800)installed recently. The CV boots are also in good condition. This is one that you can get in and ride without any worries of something breaking down. Clear Texas Title.

Ticking sound

I've recently been hearing a ticking noise coming from the front end of my bike. It only happens while the bike is in motion and there is nothing that I can see that stuck in the wheels or anywhere in that area. Has anyone else ever noticed this? Anyone have any idea what it could be?

Check your TPS wiring

I have been dealing with random, backfires, bad idle, erratic idle, all out stalling and dying on the trails, you name it. This has been going on for the last few years. At first I thought it was my exhaust mod leaning the bike out, so I recently installed a power commander and richend the bike up. I took it trail riding about a month ago, and after about an hour, it started running like shit and the engine light came on. I got code 51 "TPS Voltage High". This is what I eventually found.

I think the wire has been broken for a while, and the insulation finally let go. After I repaired the wire, and re tuned the bike with the power commander, it runs great!
