Silverton, Colorado is a premier area for ATVs. In 2105 Colorado passed a law making it up to the local authorities if they wanted to establish ATV zones. Silverton jomed on the chance. They generate a lot of tourists dollars with their premier AVT trails. ATVs are common on main street. Here is a photo of what I mean. ATVs and other licensed motor vehicles seem to get along just fine.

To bad the whole state can't be the same way.

Hi everyone.

I got an offer from my local Polaris Dealer on this Led bar



https://ranger.polaris.com/en-us/sho...ories/2880530/

The price on the polatis website is $280 plus taxes and shipping. My local dealer has a special price for this item for only $184, I think is a really good deal. the problem is that the sale ends tomorrow so I need urgently to know more about this light bar.... is it really bright compared to other brands or is just a waste of money? anyone here can share his experience with this product?

Evening Fella's, Name is Jeremy...I'm the new guy here but thought my first post should be one to offer help since i have found much help on this forum! I have a 2005 Sportsman 800 that i bought used a few weeks back for cheap...reason being, it had a ton of issues. One of which is a non-functioning fuel gauge (doesn't even show in the display). After taking everything apart, i found that the sending unit was bad. The circuit board itself had worn out. Since there are no replacements available aside from a new tank assembly at a cost of $750...i decided to find another way of fixing this issue. Especially since i only paid $800 for the 4 wheeler to start with! So, listed below is my fix....
You'll need a 1965-early 90's chevrolet sending unit. I used a 1990 Chevrolet K1500 4.3 unit as thats what was in stock at my local advance auto. Mine was $45 with an online discount but other cheaper options are available if you don't mind to order and wait. The main thing is to be sure you have a 0-90 ohm sender. Factory polaris is 5-90 ohm so 0-90 is close enough to work. It may just show empty a bit sooner than it would with the original unit.
You'll also need decent fab skills because the new sender won't just drop in. There are two ways i considered to attach the new sender...1. cut and weld the new bracket on to your pickup tube. 2. Make a few spacers and screw the new unit to the existing bracket on your pickup assembly (this is what i did...i retrospect...i would have disassembled everything and welded the new bracket on). I was able to use the arm and float that came on the new unit as well which takes care of another problem on the 800's...saturated float.
Getting the new set up back in the tank took some work but it did fit with some patients. Once i had it all back together...i added fuel and watched to be sure the gauge functioned as it should. Honestly, it is more accurated than i really expected! I would say its very close to factory. Anyway, if you have the tools, know how and time...this may be the fix for you instead of spending $750.

Hey everyone. I had a 2016 Outlander XMR 1000 with a HMF slip on and a HMF optimizer. Today I got a 2018. Will I be able to use the HMF optimizer on this machine??

So I found where is the throttle limiter in the carb but I don't know how to remove it and if I have to take out the carb to do so. Thanks!

How do I remove the red plastic crburetor spacer?

Can any of you guys confirm that their bushing upgrades don't work on the XT-P's? I've read about fellas using them but Garage Products says no??? Is there another alternative to get eurothane bushings or something for the shocks? I'm thinking that because the XT-P's use the Fox QSC shocks, that's why they won't work. They must work for the front upper and lowers as well as the back torsion bar though hey?

Looking for service manual for a 2000 sportsman 500 and a 2004 sportsman 400 polaris tech spoke of down loads for 8 dollars. interested, but looking for contactsomeone ect.

In 2 weeks I will be going on my first 3-day camping/4-wheeling trip.
I have no gear, and not much money left so I want to spend wisely.
I am already getting the ATV up to snuff, but what about personal gear?
I have a motorcycle helmet.. but my buddy tells me that the trails get very dusty and I might want to consider a face mask with filter and a helmet that I can get very dirty.

What about other gear, boots, gloves, glasses... not sure what to pack and what to purchase. I have some of those thick rubber boots, not sure how hot they would get riding for 3 days straight but if we hit a lot of mud they will come in handy. Extra gas cans I am thinking might be useful, and tools... spare plug...
