1997? Polaris xplorer 500 4×4

Yesterday I just took my honda recon 250 and traded for a polaris xplorer 500 4×4. It nice he said 2000, but I think they only made an explorer 500 in 1997? Anyways I got to look at it better when I get home today. Was making some funny noises my 250 was baller and fast from what I can see so far. I like it just want it to be right.and throttle response u don’t believe to be right either . Let me know some basic to start on and I’ll get a viedo uo somewhere later today.
