I have 2013 sportsman 500 HO. I bought it spring last year. About 3 months of having it I was riding shut it off to take a break and when I went to fire it up I had no power so I towed it home and realized the main fuse was blown. I put a new fuse in it and it was fine for a few weeks. But then it started happening again Id turn the key to start it and the fuse would blow like a light bulb going out. I would keep a box a 20 volt fuses with me just Incase it blew. But now it blows almost 90% of the time I try to start it. I have power when I turn the key once but when I turn it to start the wheeler it blows. If I jump the solenoid it fires right up but when I turn the key the main fuse blows. I can’t find any shorts in the wiring and I’m not sure what else to do.
My 2018 defender with the doors on I built.
The doors work well still have to make the door latchs though.
Hi I’m new to the forum
I have a 2018 defender hd8. I'm gonna be installing a terra 45 superwinch at some point. Looks like there is a lot of expertise on this forum to get it done. Just installed a 20" nylight light bar my wife bought me for Christmas it works great..
Re-painting Beadlock Rims
Hello all, was just wondering if anyone had any success at repainting their bead-lock wheels? I'm thinking of removing and just using spray can paint on them as I'm sure they're going to get scuffed up again. Powder coat seems expensive, for what it is. Has anyone had success with just re-spraying theirs? Also I have a Renegade XXC in the white and red and the bead-locks are red. Does anyone have a good color match recommendation for the Can-am Red? Thanks in advance!!!!

Mileage confused with hours.
So I just purchased a 2012 Polaris 850 XT HO EPS with what I thought was 2400 miles, the dealer miss read the digital readout and listed the hours as miles, the bill of sale reflects the miles as 2400, my intent was to purchase this ATV, run it a few years and trade it for a new machine, but with the milage being misstated I am not sure I will recoup my investment, how should I approach the dealer with this? any suggestions? the ATV runs great, but I'm not sure how things will be in the future. Any suggestions?
What are the differences (if any) between 2019 and down 850’s engine repair coming
So just curious what some of the differences are between a 2019 sportsman 850 hilifter engine and earlier 850 engines, as far as internal differences? I have to go into an 850 engine, and curious what the differences are. Thanks!

Questions about Suspension and Springs
Hello,
since 1 week i own a Scrambler 1000XP. After a few rides i started to play around with the suspension settings.
Just for my couriosity i wanted to lower the height as much as possible.
But at a certain point the spring looses the pre tension and its not possible to go further down in with the front (backside i didnt test).
I know, these machines arent build for that but i wanted to use the whole thread range if possible.
Then i started to read across the net to find some information about that matter.
There isnt really much but some Elka Suspension but that would be a very expensive solution.
F.e. I found a "Double Spring Kit" for the Polaris RZR 800S which also has the Podium X 2.0 Shocks.
But there is nothing like that for the Scrambler. I thought there would be something similar to the RZR Kit, but no.
(Would the RZR spring kit fit the Scrambler? Are they the same dimensions?)
I did write a email to a guy who makes spring kits, not for the Scrambler in particular but other Polaris Models, and he said if i could tell him the spring
rate that i disire then he could make a double spring kit for me.
I told him that i just want to be able to use the whole range of thread given and maybe slightly stiffer spring.
But it seems that this is not enough information for him as he repeats that he need the rate for Initial and Secondary spring.
So i started to search after some figures i could work with but its really tough for someone who has no experience on this subjekt.
I guess its no option for me as i cant figure out the rates for my self. It just wouldnt make sense.
Another option and maybe the cheapest is to shorten the piston. But as this is irreversible, i would be my last choice.
I hope someone here can help me out with this problem and i´m looking forward to your answers.
Thanks
