Wonder if anyone else is having the same issue?

My machine has been great to me and given me zero problems, I have had no heat problems although yes...the exhaust does get pretty hot(so did my old 700). Nonetheless, there seems to be a two-piece cover that goes around the entire muffler, with glass(or something like that?) packing between it and the muffler itself. it seems to be held together in a few places around the muffler where the two halves of the cover are put together. it has split probably 1/3 of the way around and it has spread open about a quarter inch. I'm not having any rattles or any true problems just yet, but I imagine that it will eventually split all the way around and ill be left with a proper problem then.

Anyone else? it seems to be aluminum, so I don't think I can repair it by any means. I imagine when it breaks I might just put header wrap around the whole thing and hope it is good enough, but who knows.
Mine's out of warranty, but the dealer has taken photos of it to send to polaris to see their thoughts on it.

I recently went on an awesome ATV adventure on the backcountry trails of the Madawaska Valley in Ontario, Canada.

I love ATVing in Ontario, Canada – the trails here are quiet, the volunteers are passionate and take trail maintenance seriously, and you can visit parts of the country that would otherwise be completely inaccessible.

I spend most of my time in Northern Ontario – I truly believe it is one of the most special destinations in the world. I’ve been all over the world, and although every country, continent, and city has something special about it, Northern Ontario is truly different. The difference is access to remote spaces.

While you could take the Road of Bones through Madigan in Russia, you’d be doing it at a snail’s pace and would struggle the whole way along. While in Northern Ontario, you can drive hundreds of miles into the wilderness on paved roads with electricity and cell service, and then dive into the bush on backroads and be out in time for dinner at a cozy local diner (or a Tim Horton’s).

Hey everyone, I bought a 2000 Polaris Sportsman 500 and the pull start cover has a big chunk missing out of it and I'm sure water has gotten in there from the previous owner not fixing it. My starter is also hanging up for a few seconds after the engine starts so I ordered a new Bendix hoping that it would fix the starter from hanging up. I'm going to order a new cover today as well.

My question is, do I need to oil up anything inside there? Do I just remove the old cover, pop my new Bendix in, and simply bolt down the new cover?

Where is and how to change drive belt

I'm Tom from Pa I have a trail buck 650

I noticed during last hunting season that my Fan was coming on an inordinate amount of times. Seem like every 5-10 minutes it would come on. I checked and had antifreeze, no leaks, no over heat light on. However the fan would come on and after a short period of time go off and this would keep repeating itself. Just last weekend I rode my sons 2003 500 HO and his fan didn't come on at all.

What do I do

I was looking at the accessories in the 2018 outlander catalog. I found a new drivers backrest accessory. I am sort of interested. I was wondering if anyone purchased one or even found one mounted up at a dealership.
