Hey all, new to Polaris atv and very pleased so far. Previous Polaris sled owner.
Been browsing here about a few weeks now. Found some good info.

Heading up to Jericho NH for Camp RZR next week.
Anyone else going?

Greetings from rural Ontario! I'm looking for a service manual for my 2000 325 Magnum. Can anyone direct me to a download?

Hey guys, just wanted some input as to what spacer in primary clutch you all ended going with to smooth out your engagement and what tires your running. Gotta 2010 550XP that I'm going to 28" bearclaws and would like to hopefully get close or nailing down spacer on 1st try. THey told me I can either go no spacer,thin spacer,thick spacer, or both thin and thick.

I got a 2008 Polaris explorer 300 and the front cv shafts had been removed by one of the previous owners.
My questions are,
(1) Where the cv shafts would go into the wheel hubs they have been exposed to everything, they are covered with grease but also anything else, can they just be cleaned up and have the cv shafts installed or do you think to much crap has entered and caused internal damage to the bearings?

(2) On one side of the front differential the wheel bearing shield is missing leaving the bearing exposed to the elements, can it be cleaned out and filled with grease and a new shield installed or do you think the bearing would be contaminated and needs replaced?

I don't like the idea of putting it all back together and have to turn around and take it apart, I also wouldn't like to replace parts that might be ok

Thanks for all repies

Just bought this from someone hoping it was an easy fix like a carb clogged but i got screwed to the fullest...I believe the countershaft balancer failed and put a whole through the case. Im Thinking I need an entire engine? not sure if i should rebuild it, or buy another engine. I am a mechanic but havn't done a build like this on any atvs yet. Engine now doesn't even sound like it tries to start. like theres no fuel or spark but it has both.. And the engine sounds good cranking like nothing mechanical noise bad at all.

Was riding yesterday and my wife noticed the lens on the speedometer had a crack in it, we only have 370 miles on our 2016 Outlander 650 max xt no hard riding. The dealer said bring it in he will replace under warranty so no problem. Just wondering if anyone else has had this happen. We really like the machine so far our last atv was a 2001 Honda Rancher good machine but no comparison to this one looking forward to many years of enjoyment.

I recently sold my 2008 Outlander 650XT and am looking for a replacement. Can anybody tell me what has changed since 2008 other than power steering? At this point I am debating between a used 2013 with 550 miles or a new 2017.

Thanks

Ok, I know this topic has been beat to death but I cannot find the VIN stamped in the frame of my '02 700 Sportsman. I have the owners manual and searched online for info. I've sanded the lower frame rail behind the left front wheel and haven't found anything stamped there. There also aren't any signs of swirl or grinder marks. Is there another location where the VIN is stamped? I'm running out of ideas on where to look...

New member but I have been on the site many times. Great site and enjoy the sharing of information. About a month ago I bought a new 2017 Sportsman 450.

Installed a winch, wired directly to the battery tested the winch without the bike on for a few minutes. I realized hey I might have drained the battery tried to crank and nothing but trying to crank noises and instrument lights flickered. Jump started with the truck and would shut off once I disconnected the jumper cables. Found 4 out of 6 battery cells dry, refilled and threw it on the charger. Now the instrument cluster will turn on then try to crank and everything shuts off. Disconnected then reconnected the battery and the instrument cluster will turn on then try to crank and everything dies again. All fuses are good.

Is it a relay problem? Is it a breaker? I need help hunting season is 2 weeks away.

Thank you in advance
