Hey All,
So I'm dealing with probably something real simple but maybe now. My 98 300 xplorer when going through the puddles seems to bog a little losing some power but not stalling. As I get out of the puddle and it stops kicking up the water it goes back to normal. My first thought was an electrical problem, as they put the battery/solenoid in a really crappy spot right under the fender by the rear tire. The boots on the wires still look good, but who knows maybe I'm looking in the wrong spot.
Any ideas where to start appreciated.

On my outlander 400, I got the noise that the radiator fan makes sometimes when it hits the shroud. I thought I read somewhere that guys were using washers to space the fan away from radiator, anyone got a link? I searched but couldn't find it.

So I become the designated repair guy for my dad's machines and somehow inherited one of them. 1998 Polaris 300 Xplorer 4x4. His other one is a 1994 350L.
The 300 had a wrecked transmission when it was purchased, literally there was a hole in the bottom of it from the previous owners attempt to rock it out of a mud pit. 350 was a plow machine, so the a-arms were shot.
I joined up here for when I get stock on one of these project machines, because at this point lets face it they are gonna break and I've already broke em and fixed them :)

Hello group,
I searched thread and mostly came up with starter issues on older models.
I am wondering if there are any known issues with these. When I try to start, it will occasional "grind". If I retry it will catch and start. The grinding has been getting worse to where I have to try a few times for it to catch and turn over. Another thing, mostly when cold if I give a slight amount of throttle, it will 'pop', die and simultaneously make a laud gear clashing noise as the motor comes to a stop. The 'clashing' when it dies and grinding when starting sound similar. Could they be related on this model ?

Thanks,
Axle

Selling my 2016 Polaris 570. It has about 130 hours and 800 miles. It has been used primarily for prescribed burning and other forest management activities. Some plastics are a bit worn, the rear door is missing. This machine has been regularly maintained. It was intended for use in the stand, not just trails, so there is wear accordingly. I have all service/repair records if interested.

I'm looking to buy a Pioneer due to the need for passengers. Asking price is $5000.00, and I will consider delivery within the Southeast but would prefer pickup.

Bought a brand new 2017 sportsman 570 sp hunters edition. In january 2017.
My first ride out i was told my back left wheel is way more camberd than the left.
When i brought it to the dealer they told me "it must be the way it was welded in the jigs, we cant find anything else wrong" and basically told me i had to live with it.
Well ive tried and its causing premature tire wear and it tracks off to the left when road riding. Not happy. Anyone else have this issue? Im debating contacting polaris directly
Thanks

Ive asked in other discussions and didnt get much of an answer.
i have a 04 Sportsman 700 efi that was given to me as a basket case. I want to get it running rite before i sink a bunch of money into it. I have it running but need to adjust the throttle cable for it to run at a high idle. I installed new plugs, fuel pump, crank sensor and Reman. injectors.
theres a code 51 and ive read about all the wiring problems. Ive gone through the wiring and plugs, cleaned and made repairs and ohmed out the wires for grounding out.
Im not sure were to look further. Any ideas
Thanks

sorry for the question,..

I have a 2017 Sportsman 570 base model- all stock:

I have read for two days and have determined, that even as I would like a set of 26 inch bear claw htr's-, it appears the 26x9 fronts will rub- unless new wheels with a 4-3 offset, or spacers- neither which I want to do. I have also read that some 25x8x12 fronts will rub as well (which is stock size??). Does anyone run the 25x8 Bear claw HTRs? do they rub?

Also, by chance I might have read wrong, will the more preferred 26x9x12 fronts rub?

Thanks

got 2 now 2012 max-xt 800 runs great just bought big gun exhaust --do i have to tune fuel with a tuner as they say in directions or will it hurt bike

I noticed my Outlaw is making a ticking kind of noise when i'm at idle and just give it a little gas...as it returns to idle, I can here a clicking/ticking noise on the cam chain side. I took off the valve cover and the chain tensioner and pulled the chain off the intake sprocket and pulled it tight. The manual says that within spec is 5.407 inches across 20 pitches of the chain. I believe 20 pitches is the same as 10 links?? I measure about 5.0.

I feel so convinced that the noise I hear is the chain slapping the front of the case (guide). Will it do this even if my above measurements are still within the tolerance listed? am I chasing something I shouldn't be and need to look elsewhere?

thanks in advance for any help.
