Hi

My sportsman is leaking from somewhere on the front of the engine.
Ive cleaned it up and driven it and took some pics.

So im hopeing someone can tell me where its comming from.

To me it looks like the gasket
But is there some other place i should look first before i start to tear it apart?
Its at least not comming from the weap hole cuz that seams dry.

I also saw some oil from what in guessing is a rebound for the oil


Ide apriciate all the help i can get

Just got done hunting and used the new atv. 2004 sportsman 500ho. I notice when in high gear I’ll feather the throttle and rpms will come up but it’s a second or two lag before I feel drive belt engage, is the forward movement supposed to be linear with throttle input or is this normal. If not what needs to be adjusted?....clutch?

His son announced that OPT (Old Polaris Tech) over at the ATV Connection forum passed away yesterday morning. He was one of the greatest Polaris techs and forum contributors I've ever had the pleasure to interact with. Anyone who ever visited that forum or searched for information about working on Polaris machines will know that he was truly one of the greatest Polaris techs of all time and just a really great guy who was always ready to help.
His knowledge and expertise about Polaris machines was legendary.
Rest easy OPT.

Hello folks; I'm new to the group, any group for that matter, I just pick-ed up a 2010 Can-Am Outlander 500 Max XT-P and thought it would be fun to see what others have done to there's and where people are taking them. I also ride a 2007 450 King-quad which my boy will probably inherit. Looking for lots of fun and laughs in the woods and getting back to that special fish'n hole soon!

It’s an 04 I believe, anyhow same body style, 500 ho. Got it home today, new battery, go to start it and it clicks. Look from the side where the battery is there is a black square module looking thing, rectangular almost, like a little
Block with power from battery and a big lead like a battery wire going from it. It has 3 smaller wires attached to it , red black and white I think. Anyhow, it’s cracked and I see a coil of wires inside of it. Now, me being me things is a solenoid, it slides inside a rubber fitting to hold it, but every time I look up a solenoid for this bike they all look like normal solenoids for vehicles. Is this part a solenoid!?
