So bought a 2011 500 ho carbed; a pretty basic model but tried and true; has more power than most will ever use and has off road capabilities beyond what most will use 95% of the time ... then theres the other 5% ...lol. So
Question is; with out mods it would be helpful to post problems you've had and I'll try to make a list below for all to future reference; ie I've hear at one point Below #1; (don't know if this is 100% true; but an example).
Problem; Year; Model; Solution; Cost
1- suspension bushings - were warring out prematurely with rougher riding; all years; all polarises; solution to install aftermarket bushing package $50.
2- Carb Problem - jet warren or carb fouled by ? 09 Sortsman 500 ho; replace carb needle & seat & jets; didn't fix; replaced carb in the end solved problem; $600 later.
