I have a 2016 DS90, starts hard idles for a bit than dies. Idles fine when warmed up sometimes. When it is idling and you stab the throttle it cuts out and dies unless you let off the throttle. When its on full choke and you stab the throttle it won't cut out. All stock just cleaned carb new fuel filter. Is there somewhere on here that this has been discussed? The screw on the intake side has been adjusted to 1.5 turns

I’m not far from needing some tires
2013 outlander 800r XT max. Currently have 27” big horn originals. I’m wanting a more aggressive tire but not a mud specific tire. I have 12” wheels

My idiot move recently is to lose the one and only key I had for my Sportsman. Does anyone know if dealer's can make a new key based on VIN or do I have to change the whole switch assembly?

Howdy friends,

I had my GoPro running while I did 3 full-throttle to top speed dashes on a ride this past Saturday. This Sportsman belongs to my boss/friend. He bought it used, it has a little over 1000 miles on it, and he wanted me to "test it out"...so I did. I was able to 65mph three times in a row...any additional speed would have taken more space than I had. I am impressed by the pull of the 570. Great power. Steering gets nervous/"twitchy" above 55mph.

He has started advertising the new bumpers for the 2017 2018 Polaris Sportsman 850-1000. They look awesome and tough as hell. They bolt in 6 spots instead of 4 like the Polaris ones. I recommend going to his site and checking them out for yourself. I have mine on order already, and I already cant wait.:grin

I thought I would put this on here to let people know, I have been watching his site for as long as I have had my 2017 Sportsman 1000 ( roughly 6 months ) for him to make a bumper for these machines, I am glad I waited.

I posted a couple of pictures he sent me, enjoy.

Hello,
I have a 2000 polaris explorer 250 2 stroke. The lights and starter went dead and a clicking clicking sound started coming from the circuit breaker that has a rubber boot covering it to the left of the solenoid. It clicks intermittently while the light comes off and on now and then. I checked all of the wires and put in a new battery and key ignition,plus left handlebar switch for lights and starter,plus a new relay and it is still the same. I noticed that the key ignition was heating where it plugs in.I checked the plug too and it is O.K..The entire wiring harness looks fine I went over every bit of it.It still clicks the same.I don't think I will ever be able to fix it.I already have massive hours into it and alot of money.But it still starts with the pullstart and runs good. I am not sure if the fan works. Probably not but I donot know.

I was told the expedition 425 I just purchased was a 2002. So I bought the manual online for a 2002. After I got the manual and did a little research I think it’s actually a 2000 someone on here informed me and the book says 10th digit of Vin is the model year. My 10th digit is a Y. Would this be a 2000 or 2002? If so I have the wrong size wheels on here also

I’m not too confident in t he reliability of my 570 after having efi problems the first real trip I decided to take with it. I’ve been looking for a carbureted bike recently and I’ve come across a 2012 sportsman 500HO that the owner is willing to trade for mine.

The 500HO is in better shape and has 800 less km then mine. Mine is efi and I know it has more power but I’m more confident in the reliabaility of carbureted engines.

Is there anything I should look out for on these 2012 sportsman 500HO’s? I will be going to see it this weekend and we will be swapping quads for a ride to test each others out.

If anyone has any good/bad points about these 2012 500HO’s please let me know
