I searched and found one short thread. My 02 Sportsman 500 HO has begun creeping in gear. Not always, just sometimes.

I guess that means there is some issue with the primary clutch? Is that something I could fix? I see rebuild kits and "new" ones on Amazon.

Any kit better than another, or would I be better off getting a reman one?

I bought a used 1999 Polaris sportsman 500 my wife would only allow me to spend a Thousand dollars. I wanted 4 wheel drive so I had to buy something older. Yesterday I went out riding with my neighbor. He has a 04 or a 05 sportsman 500. His suspension is really nice. It’s very soft. Is there anything I can do to soften up my suspension? When you push down on the back of mine it is like a Rock it doesn’t move. When you push down on the back of my neighbors sportsman 500 it’s a lot softer.

Hey everyone, looking for a few p arts to finish up the installation of my factory XMR front bumper. Any chance someone has the follow parts available? Or maybe someone with an XMR Renegade can confirm part numbers for me on what else I need to purchase.On the attached parts diagram, I believe I will need the following parts. I already have the XMR Bumper itself, but just need to get everything else required to replace the factory XXC bumper.

Part 600 - 705009684
Part 255 - 705009707
Part 15 - 705205019

Thanks!

Have 30" Zilla's on my machine and just cant keep it from eating belts. Stock belt lasted 200 miles give or take, and then another one this last weekend.

After the first belt let go, I did some clutch work and thought I had kicked the belt issue. I put an EPI pink secondary PEBS27 (stiffest), plus a bronze 3/16 pre-loading washer behind it in the secondary roller. I am probably just shy of 300lbs of force on that spring with the preloading at 1.25". I switched up the primary - tried a couple different springs and shimmed till I got the engagement and shift-out where I wanted it.

The belt lasted a solid 450 miles of hard riding before grenading last weekend - I was running through a foot of leftover wet snow in 4wd on and off the throttle, and admittedly not watching CVT temps. Belt was an EPI severe duty but probably switching back to OEM Polaris.

The only variable left are weights and helix profile. I am not sure changing just the weights will make that big of a difference from where I am, but a weight set that provides higher pinch than stock through the midrange might be what I need.

Would changing to a full on clutch kit even help, or is short belt life just a reality for this machine with bigger tires? Any of the brands stand out as having the best belt life of any clutch kit?

EPI, RVS Performance, Dalton, QSC. etc.?

My bike will idle for a few minutes and then stall, when I drive it it will run fine for a couple minutes and then stall, does anybody have any ideas?

I just had my 2018 Defender with 10 miles on it delivered 2 days ago. The speedometer will stop working and then a dash message " low gear" comes up while driving, the Defender than almost stalls out. The problem is intermittent and resets when I turn it off and then on again, than starts all over again. I had 30 inch tires installed, a rear winch, light bar and front bumper as far as extras go. Any ideas? I got rid of my Rangee to get away from problems! Thank you, Larry
