98 Trailboss 250

I just bought a 98 trailboss 250 from a guy. Everything seems to run ok, it does sound a little rough when running. Brakes or lights don’t work. This is my first atv ever owned. What is recommended to do when you buy a used atv? What type of maintenance should I do before I began riding it hard?

Sportsman Speedometer

Hello,
I bought a Polaris sportsman speedometer to try and troubleshoot my machine. I ruled out that its not my speedometer so I am selling that one. I plugged it in my 05 sportsman 500. It is used, and was used when I bought it.
Price is 150 shipped.

Thanks,
Eric

ETX throttle cutting out

Hello internet,

I have a 2015 polaris sportsman etx and the throttle has been cutting out. It feels like you are taking your finger off the throttle and then it kicks back up. It did that a few time and then it happened more frequently and then it kept shutting the engine off. Does anyone know what this could be. I thought it was my tuner causing issues, I have an hmf exhaust and tuner and the tuner doesn't appear to be working. Would that cause this kind of issue?

Any help you can give is greatly appreciated
Thank you

HI Temp HD8

I have a clean radiator, have replaced my thermostat assembly, can feel the fan pulling air past my fingers over the grill, I have replaced the coolant with Nulon, followed bleeding procedure in the owners manual. I have also checked that the water pump impellor is not damaged and that it turns when the engine runs.

The coolant tank was replaced under warranty, at 8 months age, because it became brittle and broke. My new tank now 7 month old has also changed so the coolant level is no longer visible through the tank. I believe my Defender has been heating since new but is gradually getting worse, now the hi temp warning is coming on after about 1 hour running, usually when running at idle while stopped to open gates after a period 50 to 70 kph running.

Question to anybody who has rebuilt one of these engines - Is there anywhere in the engine where a seal can swell cutting of coolant flow within the engine?
