now have tbap probs. codes 41 45. unplug harness and it runs fine momentarily. plug it in and it wants to die... pulled on wires and they seem ok. sensor doesnt look tampered with... harness or sensor? thanks!

I'm trying to help a friend with a Polaris XP Model # 2520673.

The wiper does not run; troubleshooting showed that the switch failed but the motor is ok.

I can't find any brand or part number on the motor assembly.

Do you recognize this part?

Is it feasible to replace just the switch? If so, what is the replacement part? How does one open the gearbox to remove the switch?

If a new motor assembly is required, how can a find the part number or an equivalent replacement?

Thanks for any guidance,

Stewart

I have now had two days of trail riding here in Colorado. The trails are rough, and the dropoffs steep in places. The scenery, wildlife, wild flowers, mountain streams are wonderful. We fully respect the land and follow all "Stay the Trail" requirements. I love trail riding. And I love riding my ATV. Great hobby.

In both trail rides, we had to pull our machines on trailers up rough gravel "county roads" to get to the trail head. These roads are much more suited to an ATV or a Jeep. Much to our chagrin, the rough, narrow, rock filled country road was posted "no ATVs" this year after over 25 years of using it. There is inadequate parking on the "cul de sac" at the trail head. What's a guy to do? The Georgia Pass area is popular off highway vehicle driving area in the million acre Pike National Forest. The Jeeps, the dirt bikes and even a mini bike can legally ride up the road with a license plate. But not a ATV. We rode up the road anyway. Lawbreakers! And I hate that.

We don't know why this was marked "licensed vehicles only". Maybe a dispute between county officials and federal Forest Service officials. Many forest service roads are marked as on highway vehicles, and off highway vehicles combined. We share the road when riding. We passed several Jeeps and SUVs on Tuesday's ride. Not so much on county roads. They are mostly "on highway vehicles only". Maybe the dispute is who pays for what? I'd license my ATV but there is no street legal law in Colorado for me to do so. My machine is insured, and I'm a licensed driver, and my machine has "street legal" equipment mounted on it. If I lived in Utah, I could license it and ride on this county road.

Frustrating situations like this is why Colorado must pass a street legal law. There are so many "county" and forest service roads in Colorado that would be perfect for more sedate, and safer ATV riding. Colorado could collect the annual license fees and the trail riding registration fees to help maintain these roads.

Gripe, gripe, gripe....

PS: I saw a young lady riding her Honda ATV down our neighborhood street this afternoon. I gave her a big thumbs up! Love seeing folks riding their ATVs on our roads.

Did anyone else get this email? I own a 2014 570 Sportsman and knew it was a matter or time before they are recalled as well.

Dear Polaris Sportsman owner,

Our records indicate that you are the owner of a Polaris Sportsman vehicle affected by Safety Recall A-17-04, which was announced on July 19, 2017. A letter will arrive at your address by postal mail that provides more information about the update and what you should do next.

Please contact your dealer to schedule a service appointment or complete a transfer of ownership if you no longer own the vehicle. Your local Polaris dealer can be found on our Dealer Locator page.

While your dealer is in the best position to answer your questions, you can also call our Customer Service department at 1-800-POLARIS (1-800-765-2747) to speak with a representative.

Sincerely,

Polaris Off-Road Vehicles

Received an email from Polaris today saying there is a recall on my 2014 570. Just looked it up, has to do with fuel leaking into headlight pod possibly causing a fire.
I just put that heat shield for the fuel tank on a couple of weeks back, that's probably all they will do. It keeps the tank from getting too hot & pushing fuel up the vent.
Have to wait for the official letter in the mail before calling my dealer.

im putting a 500 HO in my 2004 sportsman 400, the 500 i got was missing the stator and flywheel, will a flywheel off of a 99 500 work? the flywheel has spaces in between the magnets?

I bled the rear brakes and the front brakes using dot 4 brake fluid.

the rear brake has always been crappy since it was new.

but now,

the rear brake will build pressure, and then loose pressure when pressing the pedal down.

the master cylinder and the thing it connects to is $80.

anyone replace that part with sucess?

or do you just use your front brake?

I'm looking for a aftermarket rear bumper for my 2016 Can-am Outlander 650 MAX DPS. I know there's Can-am's XT bumpers available, but I would like something without plastic caps.
