Hi all,
attached is a photo of under the hood of the 04 sportsman 700 that I picked up two weeks ago.

The machine runs but doesn't charge the battery. I opened up to find the problem I thought I'd change the rectifier and I see the 3 yellow and 1 red wires coming from the rectifier werent even connected.

not only that but I see five (yes five I cant believe it) connectors that aren't connected to anything-highlighted in the green arrows in the photo. That seems crazy to me, could this be why its not charging even after I connected the yellow wires as seen in the photo? theres a red wire coming from the rectifier I'm wondering where that one is supposed to go, same for the other four loose connectors.

the attached photo is high res, I'm hoping somone can help me straighten this thing out, I'd like to get it charging.

(dvom between each of the yellow wires and a ground got me 5, 7 and 10 volts coming from the stator)

OK guys I know this has been answered 1000 times. I have 3 sportsmans that I want to put 26" tires on 14" rims. I don't want to have to use spacers, or do anything special, just want to bolt them on and not have to worry about them rubbing. I ride with my family most of the time 95% of the riding we do is on logging roads, fire roads, seasonal roads. The other 5% of my riding I like to spend some time in the mud. What tire out of the bear claw htr, mud lites or zillas would be best for my riding style, or are there any others out there? I don't want to do anything to hurt the performance of the atv, just would like to improve it a little. LIke I said we do a lot of groomed trail style riding, so Id like a tire you could whip around with that wouldn't give you that rough choppy ride. But can handle some mud also on occasions. Thanks

Looking for some suggestions for a set of tires for my Sportsman 570 that are not too aggressive, I basically just use my quad for utility use around my property and plowing in the winter. I have a set of ITP Mega Mayhems for plowing snow, so I'm looking for something that won't tear up my yard too much. I got the Mayhems with the quad when I got it so, I want something for everything else. please let me know what the best thing out there! Thanks in advance!

Having issues with our 1993 250 4x4 with fuel. I have replaced the valve under the fuel tank, it was very loose. Now it appears to not be pulling fuel. I think the previous owner routed the fuel line improperly. It was above the black metal bracket that holds the fuel tank in. This seems to me to be up hill, against gravity? Should it not be routed below this bracket? I cannot find a diagram that shows the routing. Can anyone provide some guidance on this for me?

Thanks!!

I have a 2003 sp700 twin. I had a no spark condition, bought the rmstator conversion kit and still have no spark. My trigger coil ohms out just fine at 390. My battery volts seem to be on the low side, but I have hooked a booster box up to it (I have a big, shop style box) and it doesn't help. I have checked throttle cable tension, it's fine. I checked resistance on the plug wires and got about 5,500 ohms on each. All connections are good, grounds look good, and I'm at a loss. I've read nothing but other forum posts for a week now, and I can't seem to find one where everything checks out ok and it still won't fire, or the OP never cones back to report his fix. I know I should have bought the polaris kit for $500, I didn't and I regret it at the moment. I have a ride this weekend and really don't want to cancel for the 2nd week in a row! ANY help is greatly appreciated. I have a nice multimeter but it doesn't do peak voltage. I'd like to test the voltage at the end of the wires while cranking but I don't think there's a way to do that without a high voltage meter. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Is there any way to make sure the voltage is coming thru the cdi box while cranking??

The carnage continues. I killed my bash plate (CanAm plastic skid plate) last ride. Ripped the top two mounting holes and folded it back. Had to cut it off and hoist it Ina tree to remove the bash plate to continue riding.
Disassembling the front for the replacement and pulled off the winch fairlead, discovered it cracked and bent. Now useless. This is a Warn product and cast aluminum. Looking for a billet unit for replacement. Anyone have any first hand experience with a billet one?

A couple of quick videos on Wheel Offsets...

This one (quick and easy) is from Fisher's ATV World has a quick reference to stock Polaris

Thinking of racing in my local hare scrambles with a renegade. Any input on 1000 xxc or slightly smaller 850 xxc? Racing in Florida, mostly scrub/sand/woods. Thought about the 1000 xxc but went to look at in person and it looks like it might be tall/tippy in corners. Would the 850 xxc be any better in tighter stuff or does the power of the 1000 xxc trump all? Anyone use 1" wheel spacers or other and pro's and con's? Thanks in advance. I am new to can am and just wondering!:
