I finally got around to looking at disconnecting the stabilizer bar last night. I'd never really looked that closely at the bar on this new 1k till now. What I discovered is that the sway bar link on this new machine is about as close to an OEM quick disconnect as you can get! The bottom link attachment to the a-arm is a tie rod end so it swivels. All you have to do is remove the bolt from the top of the link that attaches it to the bar on one side. Then just screw the bolt back in the link along with the bushings and lay it down out of the way on the arm...THAT'S IT!!
Takes about 2 minutes with a 15mm wrench and you have fully independent rear suspension for rough stuff and rock crawling. I think I'll probably just weld a T handle on top of the bolt and then won't need ANY tools at all to connect or disconnect the bar... Best of both worlds with very little effort!

Have I ever said just how much I'm digging this new machine? IMHO, the Polaris engineers really got their act together when they laid out this new model 1k. It rocks! :rock:

power steering going out 15 times still under warrenty cant fix 4 times now who to call

just wondering which direction the fan is supposed to run on this thing, is it supposed to blow the air through the rad, or is it supposed to suck the air through the rad? I am tired of replacing the thing that tells the fan to turn on so i am going to wire the fan in on a toggle switch, i have an after market temp gauge on it so i will just turn it on when it gets to like 200 degrees, just need to know which way to wire it for direction of fan. thanks for any and all help.

I have a 2003 polaris sportsman 700, the thing that controls when the fan turns on keeps going out on it, my question is does the fan suck air or blow air through the radiator? I have a after market temp gauge on it so im just going to hook a toggle switch up to turn the fan on when it hits around 200 degrees. just need to know which way the fan runs . Thanks for any and all help.

Batt just went out on my 700 Griz and at this point I'm not familiar enough with batt brands to get what I'm after. Any suggestion for a specific batt or batt brand that's decent but not high priced?


Also, couple years ago I remember seeing a warmer blanket or pad made for small 4 wheeler sized batts, but I lost track of who was selling it. Anyone know where I could find something like this?

2012 Outlander Max with EPS. I bent my pitman arm when I hit a tree with the front right wheel. I have the steering column loose and I just need to know how to get the pitman arm off. Is there a good video on the internet somewhere?

I think I may have posted to the wrong spot before I found this repair forum but I am trying to get help getting my 2012 400 HO carb wheeler running. After sitting for a few months it cranked and cranked a but would not even come close to starting. The display was working normal. After a few minutes of cranking the display stopped working and will not light back up even after the battery is recharged. I verified I have a good connection and 12.6 volts. Also made sure all 4 fuses in the front were good. Any help would be appreciated. After power leaves the battery it hooks into a little round part and then seems to go to the starter and the front to a bunch of pigtails. There is also something in the front that looks a lot like a relay box type fuse to me. It says coil 12vdc 50A 14VDC. Maybe that is burnt out? I feel like I had to have fried something since the display was working fine when it was cranking.

Hey guys I have a 2012 400 HO and was trying to start it after sitting for a few months and it cranked and cranked but never got close to running. After a minute or two of cranking the display turned off and now I can get it to turn back on or crank. Any suggestions on what I should check. Recharged the battery and it has 12.6 volts. I checked the 4 fuses up front and they looked good.
