Sportsman 500 Shock shaft won’t rise.

On my 1998 SP500, the front end sagged 2-3" with the plow lifted and decided to put spring spacers in to see if it helped. I put it back together for the storm today and they work great! I have about 1/2" sag with plow up now vs the 2-3" with no return to unloaded height.
However, when I had the front springs off, both shock shafts do not return to the top on their own. Can these be rebuilt or what would the most economical option be? I mostly trail ride and some utility work with it.
Are there replacements from parts stores that I could get a number to interchange that would be a cheaper option?

Thanks so much!
Isaiah

For those individuals, an aftermarket roll cage is probably the single most important upgrade they can make to any UTV.

Rvs clutch kit install questions

I recently picked up an RVS clutch kit for my 2017 sportsman 570 that I am getting ready to install and I had a few questions. What tools will be necessary for my install? I watched a few videos and understand the process, but I don't want to buy any more tools than I need to since this is prolly the only time I will use them. Can I install the primary clutch spring, shims, and weights without removing the primary clutch from the machine? And is there a trick for checking the clutch alignments while I am in there? I hear about the clutch alignment needing to be shimmed sometimes and I would like to check mine. I welcome any and all tips, tricks and advice before I tear into it. Thanks

EPS Issues

Gents,

I have an issue with my EPS. As soon as I turn the ignition on, the EPS starts wigging out. It just sits and chatters until I grab the handle bars. Once I let go, it starts again. The relay up by the steering column was corroded so I replaced it, but it didn't make a difference. Any help is appreciated.

The atv is a 2011 Polaris 850 XP. Here is a video of what it's doing.
Thanks
Jason

2017 Polaris Sportsman 850 SP blown pinion cover

My 2017 Polaris Sportsman 850 SP only has 800kms and the front pinion cover is blown right out of the diff.. and wrecked the pinion gear and diff casing.. running stock tires and everything else is stock. I see on the website that these 850's now have a whole front replacement differential, instead of running diff #1333570 the new diff part is now #1333965 but I don't see a recall. Machine is still under warranty will this be covered? Has anyone else had this problem?
