I am looking any upgrades I can make to the DS 70 to get the most out of the machine.
I am already doing the throttle cable swap. What is the best sprocket set up? Should I make any changes to the clutch?

Hello all, I own a 96 sportsman 500 that I recently acquired from a friend. I’ve done quite a bit of work to it to restore it to its former glory. The tires on it now are the factory Goodyear’s that are dry rotted and cracked like crazy. I have a set complete set of 12” rim tires off of another quad with less than 50 miles on them. However... the rear rims are a 10” on the sportsman. I’ve been researching a solution for almost 2 months now off and on and can’t come to a solution.

I want a factory looking set of Polaris wheels to fit the 4/156 bolt pattern in either a 12x8 or something close. I’ve found through endless searching there are quite a few 12x8 factory Polaris equipped quads but the offset is what worries me. I’ve asked a few people on eBay to measure the offset on some used rims and they get snotty and don’t give me the information I need. The offset that I measured on the stock 10x8.5 rim was around 3 outside 6 inside.

If anybody knows of a factory 12” rim that will fit without using spacers that has a suitable offset and the correct bolt spacing I would greatly appreciate it. I’ve just really need to get this scratched off my list. 2 used rims for ~30 a piece is a lot cheaper and looks better than 2 brand new 10” tires.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I am parting out my 2006 sportsman 800. It only has 2290 KM on it. All parts are currently available. The engine was running perfect before I took it apart. Video available of it running. Transmission went on it so decided to part it out now. The engine will be sold complete and and ready to drop in and run minus the clutches. For prices please txt or call 780 898 4140

I am looking at hooking up some Rigid LED lights (D-Series PRO Driving) on the Polaris ultimate bumper. Here is my dilemma. Everything I see on Polaris parts websites is it says I need to add a busbar, however, as far as I can tell, there is no busbar for the 850s. Everything I see says that you hook accessories like the winch, directly to the battery. So, I am curious where I am supposed to get the busbar and then where I would install it. Any advice would be appreciated.

Second thing, the wiring harness. The Polaris dealer is saying I should just use a single lightbar harness made by Polaris, however, that doesn't match what Rigid seems to recommend for most their 2 pack pod lights. I can't find their specific harness for these ones (which is part of the problem), but the harnesses for their other pod lights like Duallys and D2 have a harness that was made for two LED lights, not one. Again, any advice on this part would be appreciated too.

Thanks for your time.

98 Polaris Xpress 300

I am on my second starter and second starter gear. Seems like the gear locked up, and won't spin out again. Flywheel spins with ease. Start it up using pull starter. Shut it down, gear still won't spin out and engage the flywheel. (doesn't spin at all now)

Does / will this damn thing always have starter gear issues? I mean, I have another brand new gear but what the hell!

Runs and idles and will throttle up with rear ended jacked in the air but under load won’t get out of its own way. New carb and rebuilt old carb and still the same. New coil and air filter . Fuel seems to be flowing fine. Compression 115. Pulled cap off gas tank seems to be venting fine . New belt also . I suspect stator or Cdi or throttle switch but not sure . Also I unhooked oil tank and am premixing. Will this tank unplugged limit Cdi function ? I’m stuck please help. Also new plug .

where are you guys looking for aftermarket parts? (other than Amazon) Handlebars, bumpers, trunks/luggage/cargo boxes... things like that

We are a family of dirt bike riders. We did get a 98 Polaris 300 Xpress and everyone's thumb gets tired. I know people advise against this but this is what we want to do.

The reason I am here is because my wheeler has a split in the cable and only one end goes to the carb and the other goes to the tranny. I want to use this motion pro but it only has 1 cable. It says it is compatible, but I call bullshit. I don't see how it would work.

Does anyone have any input on this regarding actual assembly (and not trying to talk me out of it :grin). I also do not want the weird thumb throttle slip on or twist thumb slip on thingee. Just want to straight up convert it.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello all! I just bought myself an Outlander 1000XT and the wife an Outlander 570.
