Hi all! I am a new member in need of some recommendations for a snow plow kit. I have a 2009 Polaris Sportsman 500 and would like to attach a snow plow to it. I know that Polaris makes a kit and I believe Kolpin makes one as well. I also intend to put a winch on the machine. Can anyone recommend a good plow system? Thanks. Tony

Hi,

Can someone confirm what exact parts do I need to buy if I want to change so-called clutch weight rollers?

At the moment I believe I need 6 pieces of 0450229 or 0455003.

is there 6 pieces in one package or is 1 roller 6,29$?

I also found topics where people says "replace spring too". Is it part number 4 from this picture:

..or are we talking about something else.

What are the best replacements for a moderately used machine?

I have a 2002 sportsman 500, I see different mounting plates but I don’t see where it would mount ? Do I have to take the front end off ?

I have a 05 sportsman 500 ho that ran fine all summer, now in the colder weather it stalls when I try to accelerate. It will start fine and will idle, but when i press the throttle it :eekgoes 15 feet and dies. I have tried it with different choke positions - still the same. However, if I let it run at idle for 20 mins it will run fine.
I have checked the throttle contacts, cleaned the carburetor, replaced the fuel filter, replaced all the fuel lines, replaced the fuel pump and spark plug. Nothing has changed. short of replacing the carburetor iI am stumped

I bought a like new, like unuse DS90

Bike idle fine a 1700-1800 rpm but once it get warmed up, idle stay high at 3000 and even a bit higher. If i slow down the idle with the idle screw it wont idle cold. Even with choke on.

Once its idling high, if a give it a fast throttle blip, the idle get down to 1400-1500 then get higher right where it was before.

The bike is stock

Thebreather hose from crankcase/timing chain seems to bring alots of hot air with a fuel/oil smell, could this pressure make the idle higher.

Any idea??

you guys helped me so much in the past hopefully someone can help me again. lol
Its a 2000 xpedition 425 the bike has been running exellent. It sat for a couple months but i have started it up frequently and let idle. well i actually went to ride it and it will only idle if i give it a little gas and runs very smooth and idles perfect with a little gas but soon as i try and give it a little gas like 1/4 throttle and on it wont rev up and sounds terrible. Obvisouly i believe its a carb problem so i took it off gave it a cleaning and nothing changed same exact thing. Where should i start to look within the carb or any other area? its acting like the choke/enricher is stuck on but checked that. any help is greatly appreciated guys.

Hey, guys. Somewhat new to the group. I was browsing the previous threads and couldn't really find anything specific about drive belt brands (after shredding mine yesterday). I was wondering if anyone has used the Gates brand or any other ones, or if the original Polaris ones are preferred. Also, what is the difference between the 3211123 and 3211160 OEM belts? My service manual says to get the 3211123 for Scramblers & Sportsmen 850s built before mid-Oct. 2012 and 3211160 for machines built after. Mine therefore calls for the 3211123. Why does it matter? Thanks for your help!
