Been reading that these require routine maintenance. Got a 2016 Max XT with low hours that lives at my cabin in mountains. Did fluid changes after first 10 hours or so and greased a few zirk fittings I saw at rear suspension area.

I'm wondering if there's a step by step guide or videos of what to do and look for,or should I just buy a maintenance manual? If so, what's recommended?

Only mods done to quad are BRP fairing, Winch, front brush guard and light bar. I tend to do my own maintenance on vehicles.

I'm sure this has been discussed a million times so feel free to point me to a link. 😎

2015 Polaris Sportsman 325 ETX. Does anyone here have the tightening torque values for the cylinder head holddown stud/nut. The stud is 8mm x 1.25. Thanks

Looking to get some hand guards for my atv. It's a '98 polaris xplorer 300. I ride through a lot of brush/thorns and tear of my hands. Suggestions?

Hi guys I have half of one magnet broken off on my flywheel will this just effect the charging system or would it effect the spark and timing of the engine also? The quad seems to charge the battery fine but it is running poorly and I think I have a crank case leak but not sure yet and was wondering how the ignition actually works? What is on the flywheel that triggers the spark? Thanks

Hi everyone, My name is Don, and I'm having a time with Ranger 500 2007. Bought a top end kit for Sportsman 500 and all parts looked and fit. But after timing..new carb ( witch had gas coming out of overflow ) put the old carb. back on. Motor starts but runs rough, and has no power. I have rebuilt car and truck motors..never have I had a problem making them run. PS> I refaced the values and are set at .006 TDC. Just wondering if the cam is the same as Ranger 500? or maybe both carbs are bad..the new one and old one. If anyone has had problems like this I sure would appreciate some advice. Thanks to all hope you guys had a Merry Christmas, and have a Happy NY. Don.

Hi to everyone, I have a Polaris 2007 Ranger 500..and I need some help...Thanks

Today, while plowing snow, (light duty) my 2008 500 Sportsman carb model, died. Engine quit and absolutely zero power. No lights. No speedo cluster power. No starter turning. Zip-ola. All dead. I pushed it back into my garage and started checking it over. My battery is a newer AGM type and measured 12.8 volts. Next I figured I'd look for fuses. I checked it over, no luck finding any. I referenced my owner's manual. It claims the fuse panel could buy accessed by opening the front rack lid. Remove the inner access cover to access the area where the rad cap is. Did that...No fuse panel. Pulled the headlight pod apart, no fuse panel. Pulled the plastic cover off, under the pod/forward top section of fuel tank. No fuse panel. WTH am I missing here? Pic as it sits now is below. Next I'll take the rear fender plastic off to access the starter relay and fusible link to check. Could be my key-switch too I suppose. Any tips on fuses location? Thanks.

Hey folks,

While doing some work trying to figure out the fan circuit breaker, I noticed this wire with 4 prong connector hanging under the pod not connected to anything.

Does anyone have any idea what this connector would be for? Everything but the cooling fan is functioning properly but I doubt this has anything to do with it. I was thinking maybe it's an accessorie connection for something? I did not see anything in the owners manual.

Anyway, the machine is a 2008 Sportsman 500 efi ho.

Has anyone modified the sway bar to actually make the rear end independent suspension, talking about G1's here?


Never looked at a G2 to know what they are running.



They were always advertised as TTI but as we all know they aren't really independent, there can be bugger all twisting in the torsion bar to allow them to move independently.


Had thought of cutting the bar and maching each end in the centre down and fitting a press fit sleeve between them for support. not that it would really be doing anything there then, just holding in the keys basically.


Saw an old vid where a bloke cut his, i think he removed it completely later and it improved the ride, for slower speed stuff, not sure on high speed.




Sorry if it;s been covered before, i dod a search and didn't find anything asking the same.

I am a new owner of a 2015 325 etx. Has almost 700 miles. I need to replace the front and rear axle on the right side. The CV boot is broke and hear clunk noise. Would I need to do the opposite side as well? From there I may replace bushings as needed . I need to replace the rear brake lights too. I am going to search the forum . If anyone has advice or link or anything else to look for I'd appreciate your help.
