2017 Sportsman 850 SP/ Tall Hard Coat Windshield

Disappointing............ Has anyone else had experience with this?

Got the "Hard Coat" tall windshield with fairing. Total cost about $350 for both windshield and fairing (sold separately).

Install was easy.

**Problem is the distortion in the windshield!! It has 3 factory bent/molded curves in the windshield. These create distortion in your view. I'm actually concerned about the safety factor with reduced visual acuity now.

Might return it for a lower profile windshield. At least this way, will be able to look over the top and not have to look through the distortion? I'll be discussing issues w/the dealer.

Love everything else about it, but not having a "picture perfect" view is HUGE drawback.

Thanks

Need help, whenever I put my ATV in AWD it shuts off completely loses power. I've tried a new kill switch, a new starter solenoid, and a new CDI, none has fixed the issue. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks in advance.

2008 Sportsman 500 HO EFI here.

I decided to ditch the normal over the controls winch switch as that kills my wrist when plowing in the winter.

I ended up getting the round winch switch I think from a 2015 high lifter like below.


Obviously it’s not going to be a direct plug and play. Splicing would be the easiest, but to cut a $117 (after taxes) I can’t seem to do right now lol.

So this is the plug I’m looking for, if anybody knows that would be awesome.



Thank You!

Hello there. I have a 2008 Sportsman 500 HO EFI.

A little backstory. I bought a aftermarket voltmeter on Amazon from AutoPowerPlus.

How I mounted it was in the empty spot, where the choke goes on carb models. Fits fine. I ended up using the accessory wires as I don't use them or that socket.

It worked right away, no issues. Now yesterday (10/12), I get nothing out of the display. I have power going to it via a multimeter test, so I'm assuming it got fried. Now I contacted them and they are sending out a replacement which is awesome.

Question time.

1. Is the standard 20A fuse fine or the correct amps for it?
2. Should I drop it down lower? 15, 10, 7.5 etc etc?
3. What other precautions should I take to protect it and my electrical system?

Thank You :)

I have a 2011 Sportsman 550, replacing the original battery. Can't seem to figure out how to remove the battery strap. Can anyone assist?

as in title :/
