Hello everyone, first post here. Great forum.

Yesterday I picked up a 2000 magnum for a guy for 700 bucks. Seems like a good deal as he stated it needed a carb cleaning. Got there got it to start but it would die. But it sounded ok so I went ahead with the deal.

Today, I drained the tank added a gallon of clean fuel with sea foam. Let it idle for an hour. Came out reved it up and I hear a ticking or clicking sound. I knew that wasn't right, so I unloaded it put in reverse and it took almost full throttle to make the wheels turn so now my heart is sinking. I put in high and made a quick spin around my back yard, not even 30 yards and it died and the pull rope is stuck.

So now I have a brick, I'm trying to get my money back but in today's world there is not much honor or character at least on the internet.

I've attached a video, with the noise. Wondering what I could donor check save from a complete rebuild. I know a guy who will do it for 1200 but damn, for all I have invested then I could have got a bigger rig.

Anyways, I took a chance and now am stuck. Thoughts please.

Can't get the video to load. Wrong format

Would appreciate help with plow limit switch install instructions for 2017 Outlander 650 Max XT with 3000 winch and quick attach push bar with 60” metal plow! Have not found any install instructions to date! RHW 10/10/18

Ok- I normally dont post on this stuff but I'm desperate for an answer that doesnt cost me an arm and a leg.

So I have a 2017 Polaris sport. I bought it just over a year ago and it has 125 miles on it and 10.5 hours of ride time.

Recently the battery died while my husband was out riding. We assumed it was the battery and purchased a new one. Immediately following this we went out for a ride and the battery died again. This time it died mid ride and we were forced to wait for the battery to charge itself up before we could continue.

In the process of getting it back home it died another 2 times while being driven. Something is draining the battery while it's being driven.

Can someone please point me in the right direction as far as where to start looking for the problem? The local repair shop wants 65 to diagnose plus repairs and quite frankly I dont have that money at the moment. The repair guy suggested it could be a converter(?) And I need someone to give me ideas on what to do.

Thanks in advance!

I have a 1996 Sportsman 500 with about 1400 miles on it. It started earlier this year with starting hard and shifting really hard. I also noticed the belt smoked once so I decided to service it. I changed all the fluids. Installed a new drive belt. Changed the spark plug, fuel filter and the air filter. It started fine and shifted really good when not running. Then when I got it off the jack stands it started hard and when I got it in gear it stalled. I adjusted the idle up a little but still had the problem. Most of the time I have to start it in gear to get it going. When running in gear I can hardly get it in or out of gear. I don't know a lot about the centrifugal clutches but wonder if it's at least some of the problem.

Hi guys I’m new here I have a 1995 Polaris magnum 2 x 4 that won’t shut off sometimes with ignition or Killswitch I put new addition Aaron didn’t make a difference I have to choke it and give it gas kill it and when it’s doing that it ask like goofy just wondering if anybody else had that issue and what it did to fix it

I have a 3 almost 4 year old little girl that LOVES sitting on the back of our quad. I have only rode around our small back yard with her on the back and gone less than 5mph. Even though it takes all of 5 seconds to do a full lap, i can FEEL her grinning behind me as she holds on to the handles of the back seat.

my question is, other than a helmet, what would be the best way to ensure her safety while on the back? Next time i take the quad to the property and have her with me i can go a little more than a few seconds for a ride.

I was thinking about having her sit in front of me and i just reach around her and hold on with one hand (once again, not going to be traveling at high speeds).

Does anybody have stock sizes (25x8x12 F - 25x10x12 R) Trilobites mounted on stock wheels that can give me an actual true height measurement aired up and mounted?
I don't want to mount these until I can be sure they will not be shorter than the stock 489's. I might need to go up one size to stay near stock height according to a number of differing posts online. I just can't find a true answer.
I don't really want to go taller, just don't want to go smaller and ruin my chance of returning them.
Hopefully somebody has this setup and can help. Thanks.

I have a 1995 Polaris 425 magnum that sometimes will not shut off I have to choke it and give it gas for it to die and when this occurs it runs really funny I was wondering if anybody else had the same issue and what they did to cure the problem
