Hi everyone new here. I bought this four wheeler about 2 years ago and have been working on it every now and then to Get it running right. When I bought it it wouldn’t idle all the time and so the next winter I went through cleaned and replaced everything in the carb. It worked for awhile after that and now it won’t work for me at all. It will only start up with a little bit of starter fluid in the air intake and will run for about 30 seconds. At the end of that it will increase in rpms and then just die. I’ve played around with the fuel and air intake screws and those don’t seem to change anything. It has a new spark plug. I ran a compression test today and it was 63 psi. It is a little cold up here right now. If anyone has any ideas of what it could be. I’ve racked my brain for months trying to figure it out and all the I know for sure at this point is I’m no mechanic and am stumped.

I just opened up the clutch housing in my newly purchased 2009 550 xp, and found that the plastic clutch cover seemed to have a greasy oily film all over the cover. The bike seemed to work fine, I just wanted to check the belt before a trip this weekend, but not sure if this greasy oily residue is normal. I will say there appears to be a slight valve cover leak, which is very close to where the breather inlet is for the belt cover......

I've had my Outlander for about a year (2 months pre-recall, 7 months of recall/can't use, and 3 months of can use--but that's a different discussion).


Anyway, I'm an old retired guy with about 20 acres in Missouri, which consists of a pretty extensive lawn that's not real level, a large pond, and about 14 acres of woods.



The ATV is used mostly for land maintenance and going fishing.


What I'm looking for is a way to temporarily limit the top speed of the Outlander. I use it to pull a Swisher mower, a sprayer, a spreader, a harrow...you get the idea. None of the things I pull with the ATV should really be pulled faster than 5 or 6 MPH, and it is fairly difficult to maintain a speed like that with the little thumb control. I know about the little limiting screw, but that's not a good solution.


What I'd like to find is something that could be controlled with a toggle switch so when I am working, I could just flip the switch and the top speed would be limited, but when I'm playing, it would perform like it does now.



Does such a thing exist?


Thanks for any advice.

I have a 2 pin plug, black and red wires left side exit just below speedo screen, has 12volts key on power, any ideas what this is for?

Hello! I recently bought a 2016 Polaris 570 and since the day I bought it it has had stalling problems. It was never beat on the person I bought it from rode it on a farm in Virginia, but she did say it Saturday for a while & she would only run it to keep the battery charged. It first started on my first ride with it I was just driving around and it shut off mid ride and wouldn’t drive since then. It would turn over and idle but as soon as I put it in gear to drive and hit the throttle it would shut off or barley drive and backfire till it shut off. It would also read “LO 10.8” on the screen occasionally not all the time. Charged the battery all night, didn’t fix it. so I went ahead and changed the voltage regulator. Didn’t fix the problem. Took it to the shop they said it was a bad fuel pump. Got the fuel pump changed. It ran back to normal after that except when I hit the throttle quickly it had a slight hesitation. Well today about 2 weeks after replacing the fuel pump, I started it back up and it was doing the same problem. I would turn the key and it would start but when I reved it up in Park it would cut off. I took it for a ride and it’s would constantly stall mid acceleration. And now it just sits and idles rough like it wants to stall untill it does like 5 seconds later. I’m not knowledgeable at all with atv’s and fixing them but I’m stumped and I’d rather get others opinions before spending another 500$ and not get the problem fixed. Any idea what it could be now?

My wife has been wanting an ATV for 18 years. I finally got her a 95 Explorer 4x4, with a little luck, some advice, and a few parts, I hope to get it running.

Hi I have a 2016 Outlander 850 XMR after washing it it’s acting up, with the ignition key off/ or completely out of the ignition it powers on the lights and gauge pod as if the key was cycled on. I put key in and cycled the key a few time then back to off and 10 minutes later it power itself back up. To clarify i have a 2016 so it has a key not the new style that eliminated the keys ignition! anyone had this issue and what was the fix?
