I have a 2015 outlander 800xt. It has the high lifter 2” lift kit, the rear shocks now will push down about 3 inches when I put my weight on them, but it will not physically return back up without me pulling back up on the atv. I bought a set of stage 3 Elka’s thinking it was just worn out factory shocks but even the Elka’s will not return back up without me pulling up on it. Any ideas what could be causing this? John IIkiw with Elka said it could be a bad set of shock bearings they recieved from their supplier.

Hello my name is Jason. I'm from the bottom of the Bootheel MO. I ride the Dog out my 2013 gade 1000 and have a spare 08 gade 840 X.

I recently bought a 96 Xplorer 300 4C4 2 stroke from a local teenager who needed the money to fix his truck. I bought it knowing it didn’t run, but had run recently. I rebuilt carb, because it needed to be done anyway and got to work. The boy had the engine rebuilt about 4 months ago, and only has a few hours of ride time on it since rebuild (supposedly). I checked spark and compression to see where the issue lay. It for sure needs a CDI box or coil, because spark is low. The engine scares me. The compression is only 70 PSI. Someone locally who works on ATVs told me Some Polaris ATVs only ran between 60-90PSI. I am not sure I believe that, as it seems very low to me! Much lower than my Yamahas. I fear the rebuild may be half assed, or non existent at all. Any ideas? I trust the opinions of people who work on their Polaris ATVS such as all of you. Got this as a gift for my lady, as she wanted an auto 4x4.

Hi,
I just bought my first Polaris Sportsman 500 ATV (1999) and I'm trying to figure out an issue with the speedometer cluster. It is completely dead, no lights, odometer or speedo gauge working. I'm going to try the repair suggested in this blog: KA7OEI's blog: Repair of the speedometer on a Polaris Sportsman 500 4-wheeler


I first wanted to make sure the Hall Effect Sensor wasn't a potential issue based on all my symptoms. My AWD light is working if I flick the switch on, but everything on the gauge cluster is dead. Thanks in advance!

My 96 trailboss obviously has a dead battery, but I always thought the lights would still work as long as it was running. I know all the lights work as they should as I have tested with a battery charger hooked up to the terminals. Also, I believe that the starter is bad as well.

Polaris part number 1332982. This is new, never installed. And just to be upfront, yes this is my first post on this forum. I don't have any ATVs, but I am on several car forums. I am looking to just sell this transmission and I will be off this site. As stated, new and never installed. The cheapest I have found this online is $2446.....selling for 1,800. Make an offer.

According to the Polaris site, this is the fitment

I'm tired of spending hours cleaning silicone off my clutch cover evertime I need to go in there for something thinkin about trying the outsiders mud crew gasket for it. Just wondering if anybody tried it yet and how it worked?

Is the shocks on the 2019 xxc different from other year xxc?
My Fox shocks HS comp has only about 3.25 turns of adjustment. Is this the same as other years?
Also the LS comp adjusters turn along with the HS adjusters. It does adjust separately but seems to stop at a different setting if you turn the HS nut.
Can someone tell me how to adjust these shocks?

I have a '97 trail boss 250. I've had to switch to pre-mix oil due to oiler issues. I 've been using a 50:1 mixture. Atv is used mainly for a pit bike at drag strip, so it isn't driven hard. It is fouling plugs left and right. I've been using a NGK br6es plug. I've gone to a hotter plug but haven't tried it yet. just wanting to get feedback on mixture for oil for my use. Thanks
