Hate being that guy that joins and the first thing he does is ask for help, but I'm about to loose it on this machine...
I recently bought a 2014 Polaris sportsman 850 XP HO. I was not having any problems with it until I was riding one night and went to start it and all I heard was the starter tapping the flywheel. I assumed it was the battery because I was able to jump it. I ended up buying another battery because the problem continued. The new battery worked well until I had the same issue again a week later, I then assumed it was the starter so I bought a new starter..
Well last weekend after riding around for a about an hour, I turned off the machine and had the same issue when trying to turn it back on. I was able to use my jump box to start the machine but after it was running a red light and the battery symbol came on. I was able to get it on the trailer and head home. Once I got it home not even the jump box would get it to crank. I was able to push it in the garage and left it on the tricle charger all night. This morning I tried to start it, and no luck. Just the sound of the starter tapping the fly wheel but now the red light is no longer red it is flashing yellow.
It's safe to say I have no clue what is going on with this thing!! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance
