The weirdest thing happened last week - I unloaded my 2016 Sportsman XP and drove it up my driveway. Turned around and came back, that's when it started making a crunching sound. I also noticed immediately that my reverse gear would not hold and had grinding in neutral and no movement at all in low. Park would still want to propel me forward.

Not sure what could have failed on it (and why now for that matter) when it worked great the last time I rode it. Thinking that I somehow broke the shift fork and sucked it through the transmission.

Save for tearing into the gearcase and finding complete carnage due to ingesting part of the shift, I want to try and fix the gearcase.

It might be cheaper to buy a used, low mile take off and source replacement parts from it. I noticed that the 550/850/1000 XP and Scrambler counterparts all have different part numbers for the entire assembly. Does anyone know the technical differences and what compatibility is between the different models?

03 Sportsman 500. Got so it would creep and not shift. A inspection of the Primary clutch shows the belt is not in the grooves when at idle. Instead it is riding to the right and against the inside sheave. Not settling in the grooves makes the belt too tight so the secondary clutch keeps spinning. Do I need a rebuild or ? I know nothing about fiber bushings, brass bushings or shims. But willing to do what it takes to solve this.

Thanks Don

I have someone local selling a set of Mega Mayhem 27-11-14 and 27-9-14 I'm wondering if these will work on the stock wheels. I'm not interested in the custom wheels and don't plan to spend the money in that area. I ride the mountains here in NC and take it hunting near the coast in the sand and swamp. I also just purchased a plow. We sometimes get snow in excess of a foot. Give me some input guys.

I have tracks for my outlander and am looking for advice on best winter clothing. Bibs and Jacket or MonoSuit? Warmest, waterproof, and wind proof.....I am looking to buy the best as price doesn’t matter when you are cold and wet. I am in MN. Thanks guys!

Anybody put 2" bar risers on their 1000 or 850 ?

Hey there fellas, need some help, I have a 400 sportsman, a 2005, I bought new, never an ounce of trouble, this evening I took it for a ride down to the woodpile, turned it off, and when I went to start it again, nothing, no speedo lit up, no lights, nothing, I checked terminals on battery, all tightened up good. I pull the rubber boots off of the selenoid and jump the 2 posts; with a screwdriver, while the key is in on position; it cranks and cranks no start. Again, it won’t do a thing with the key turned; I messed with the off/run switch but nothing. Towed it home with the Kubota and im looking for ideas where to start. Any help would be appreciated.

Ok so I'm looking for new or should I say used possibly nerf bars and the ac ones with the heel guards are impossible to find. With that being said has anyone fit different nerf bars with heel guards on the quad?

Water is getting into clutch case through the clutch case intak and i was wonder if anyone had any ideas as to how to prevent it and i dont want a snorkel kit either. Thanks in advanced

I have a 2005 Sportsman 500 ATP with no power to the switches or gauges, unless I jump the solenoid,(with the key on)then everything light up and it will turn over. If you turn the key or kill switch off, you need to jump the solenoid again to get power going again.
Has this happened to anyone??
It has a new battery, full voltage!

Has anyone ever heard of this being related to a shorted out stator?
