hey y'all i recently traded for a 2016 sportsman 1000 high lifter that needs a rebuild. long story short the airbox had cracked open getting water in the engine. engine and transmission have been pulled and inspected by a mechanic and mechanic stated the motor needs a motor rebuild assembly (crank piston rods etc) but transmission is fine. now my dilemma is rebuild the stock motor or purchase a remanufactured rzr 1000 long block. will a 1000 long block fit on a sportsman 1000 if so is there anything else i would have to do for fitment?
Polaris Srambler 500 2×2 from Portugal
Hello, I've been reading the forum for the past few months but only now decided to register.
I'm André, portuguese, and I've just bought a 2001 Polaris Scrambler 500 2x4, in rough shape but still a good project.
I've replaced the tie rods, they we're in bad shape and changed all 4 tyres at once.
There's still a "bended" front triangle (or a-arm I suppose) that I also need to replace.
The atv came with a "Renegade" exhaust that has a pretty impressive "roar"... but they made a poor exhaust pipe adjustment, it looks like sh*t and I want to solve it asap.
I have to change the oil (Polaris PS4 or there are other alternatives ?) and oil filter (HIFLO HF303 ?).
What should I do next to ensure a "clean new soul" to my Scrammy ?
thanks in advance
P.S.: sorry for my rusty english :)

Cooling Fan not working
Hey guys, I have a 2014 Can Am Outlander 650 Max. Added a rad relocate within the last year, and now my cooling fan is not working....hooked power direct and still never cut in! Bought a new one, plugged it in, let the engine warm up and the new fan will not cut in either. Changed out the relays and still not working....HELP PLEASE!!
Water in belt box?
Was wondering how many guys with 2018,2019 highlifters have gotten water in there belt box? I’m asking this question because I was reading on RZR highlifter forum that a guy said his 2018 RZR highlifter had the clutch backing plate RTV sealed from factory. Is this true?
Synthetic cable
I just ordered a synthetic winch line for my quad. Are you guys also switching to the hawse fairlead or keeping the rollers when you switch? Completely slipped my mind and want to know if I should be ordering one now

Extremely cold here. Has this ever happened to anyone? (starter issue?)
It's like -10F (and dropping even more) here right now. I went out to start my 450 today (there was a small spot at the end of the driveway where I wanted to plow real quick) and I turned the key, hit the button and the starter just "whined" like it was spinning, but no engagement. I had to hit the button a bunch of times and finally it engaged and started. I let it warm up a good 15 minutes, then I shut it off and hit the button again. Started right up like nothing ever happened. Is this something to be expected in this kind of brutal weather? Or could something be going wrong? It's never done this before, but this is the first time it's ever been this cold since I've owned this.
Fuel filters…..interesting.
So i missed the rotten grommets on the gas lines where they plug into the tank on this 2007 outlander 400 i got and on saturdays test ride the rpms suddenly started coming up on its own.
Pull over and pop the plastic to see whats up, i bumped the idle up a bit when i first got it so i fugured watever was causing the low idle kicked loose or im sucking air somewhere.
As i reached in for the idle adjustment screw i moved the gas lines out of my way so my hand could fit and the reserve line fell out grommet and all!!!!
3/4 of a tank of gas spewed out onto the hot engine hissing and misting/fuming like ignition is forthcoming. Alls i could think to do was shut er down, put it in neutral and push it out of the pool of gas shouting DONT U CATCH FIRE DONT U IGNITE!!!!!
Finally all the gas emptied out and i thanked whoever was watching out for me for still being alive and not dying a horrible gruesome death!
Anyways...looking up part #s later that nite after id quit shaking, i noticed in the parts schematic it shows an inline filter plugged into the grommet with a short hose plugged into that then the hose plugs into the elbow on the fuel line on both the main and reserve lines....
Would probably eliminate 99.9 % of the "last chance screen" "pull the carb then pull the float bowl..." "engine shuts down when hot" etc etc fuel issues.
Mine doesnt have that setup, the fuel lines plug right into the tank grommets, no filter, no short hose. And i dont see anyone else that has it either with all these fuel system malfunctions seems like a good idea....too bad there is no room, probably why they eliminated that whole filter assembly at the factort im guessing??
Anyways long story srry just found it interesting that there should be filters, and there is not.
