Allen Wrenches for ’15 Sportsman XP 1000

2015 Sportsman XP 1000: Trying to determine what allen wrenches it uses so I can purchase sockets for easier use. Called service departments and got inconsistent answers of metric only, Standard only, and a mixture of both. Can anyone tell me:

1. Metric, Standard, or both?
2. Does anyone know what sizes so I can make sure the set I get covers all of them? Saw on a few discussions regarding other models that they used some 'off' sizes that don't come in basic sets I'd like to get a small set, not one that has every size ever created...and if need be, add a few 'off' sizes.

Thanks

2005 Polaris Sportsman 400 completely dead after rough start

Hey all,

Long time lurker, rare poster here.

I need some assistance. I'm having a heck of a weekend with my ATV. First, I went for a 10 mile ride with a wasp nest between my legs (they built it under the wheel well) and was wondering why I was getting swarmed every time I stopped or slowed down. Anyways, after dealing with that I went to go for a ride last night and ran into an issue. The battery was low, but still had juice. I got it started but ended up using the pull cord to save the battery. It stalled a couple times because I didn't use the choke (lazy) but then it fired up. When I was about to take off I gave it some gas and it died. Nothing on the instrument cluster, no lights, when I turn the key I get nothing. I'm relatively new to maintenance on this so I'm not sure where I should even begin to start. I should note when the key is in the on position, and i use the pull cord it doesn't start either.

I currently have it on the 40w solar panel charging but even after a while on that when I turn the key I get nothing.

Any ideas or suggestions would be helpful.. Thoughts??

Between Gears (High & Low)

So I was out siding and came to a soupy area, so I came to stop, put it into low from high and then made my way in. While on the throttle I hear some grinding, so i let off the throttle. I looked down at the instrument cluster and noticed that on the display it was still registering as being in 'high'. I shifted it out of low, back into high, then back into low and then the display registered as being in 'low' and continued on my way.

A) is this common,

B) should I be concerned? Have I done damage? Should I get it looked at?

Oh BTW... Its a 2015 Outty 500XT.

Thanks!

Engine lockup

Hello,i have a 2014 sportsman 570. Yesterday while on my way home from a ride my throttle started cutting out at 30mph. It runs fine under 30mph but as soon as i go over it cuts out and my engine light comes on. When it drops below 30 i get throttle back and it runs fine. Any idea's? Thanx!
