1996 Sportsman 500 electrical problem

After installing a winch there was no electrical power to the switch or headlamps. During assembly I disconnected the 5 wires to the suspected regulator attached to the front grill. All wires were matched up on reassembly but not power. The battery is good since it powers the winch directly from the battery. Is there a reset switch that I must reset after disconnecting the battery or wires to the voltage regulator?

Shop Press

Well, I finally bit the bullet today, and made a trip to harbor freight to purchase my new 20 ton shop press !. 18 years working on atvs, motorcycles, small engines, I not once have I used a shop press, good ole hammer and bench vise..lol. well, today I spent about $ 150.00 OTD with taxes. I read a ton of reviews for this shop press, and everyone seemed to be pretty happy. time will tell for me, lol.

2012 Green Polaris Sportsman 550 AWD X2 2 up for sale

I bought this new off the show room floor and have only put 114 hours and approximately 490 miles. Went riding once at CAW and other than that, here on my property. Not abused but has been used to do a little yard work and ride my trails.

It has a single seat mode with a dump bed or with a flip of the back rest, and lift up the floor in the bed, it’s a full two seater with passenger handles and foot rests. Has turf mode, 2wd lock, 4WD and 4WD with downhill assist. No broken plastic and always kept on trickle charger.

Always maintained and properly broke it and always serviced with Polaris oil and parts. Has Polaris front bumper and Polaris 2500 pound winch that were installed when I purchased it and they work great but never over loaded.
It’s never been under water nor abused.

No lean and have COO to go with it. Will post pics tonight…sorry it’s still a little dirty from pulling the kids around in the snow last week.

It’s located in Stanley, NC near Gastonia and Charlotte, NC.

New it was over $10,000 with extras and I’m asking $6800 cash but would consider a partial trade for nice dirt bike 150cc or larger or other well maintained ATV, prefer 500HO.

Howdy Howdy!

Double brake lever…?

Hi chaps. Me again from sunny Wales.

Been looking over my new 2006 TRX350 FM, and it seems my left hand brake lever has the ability to have another brake lever attached underneath it, and there is a cable going to that area too.

That’s all I know right now, as I was in a hurry earlier and just now remembered about it.

Any ideas please?
