interior very hot

just purchased a 2017 1000 commander. When riding the interior is very hot to the point of uncomfortable. There is hot air that blows up in the holes in the floor. If you are wearing shorts you will want to keep your legs out the door. Drinks put in the cup holders become to hot to drink. Looking under I can see just some reflective tape to keep the heat out. Is anyone else have this issue? Are there any aftermarket heat shields? I have looked but cant find any.
Thanks Keith

Need help with Outlander 330

Hello everyone.

So one of mine is giving me an issue.

what is causing the horrible high pitch sound when pressing the starter button. see video below.

I know the plastic reduction gear cover is broke and that's what was causing the rattling after it started but what is causing the horrible noise when I hit the start button? It fires right up and the starter gear appears to be working correctly because it engages and disengages from what I can see with the cover off it. I pulled the starter out earlier and bench tested with a 12v power supply. It spun with no issues and no noise but I'm wondering if it is because there was no resistance on it. Any ideas???

What to buy

Looking to sell one of my 250 Trailblazers for something I can plow with. I am far from a Polaris engine newbie since I have been riding Polaris snowmobiles since 1992 and currently own 14 Polaris snowmobiles and/or watercraft.

I don't want to put chains on tires and mark my driveway up. I live in mid Michigan where I get some snow but nothing like the northern part of the state. Prefer a US built Polaris engine that is carbed. What would you suggest in $3,000 range? Any year or CC I should stay away from? Thanks

How to check water pump?

I have a 2005 sportsman 700 twin efi. I'm changing out the valve cover to the metal one now and I was reading about the plastic water pump propeller.. I did remove the radiator cap and look for flow. But I can't tell if much or anything is moving. Anyone have a video I could compare my flow to? And if not, If I drained the fluid and removed the water pump cover and check to make sure the nut is tight and the fins aren't destroyed, am I going to disturb any seals if there is nothing wrong with the propeller?

Thank you in advanced
