Polaris sportsman engine chain slipping!

I was riding in the creek on my 2009 Polaris sportsman 300 and I hit the corner of a rock and it jolted the atv side ways into the water and the snorkels went under but only for about 30 seconds… When I tipped it back up i tried to start it and the chain was off the cam shaft… I know it was and still is because it happened before.. But the chain does not just fall off like that… Please help me find a way to prevent this or fix it please!

07 Outlander 800 XT Electrical Problem

My girlfriend picked up an 07 Outty that looks like it has been pretty well taken care of. We picked it up on Friday night and when we went to start it up on Saturday morning it would not start. The instrument cluster will light up once every 5 times the key is turned to the on position but, when you hit the start button everything goes blank. The same is true about the winch button.

I went and had the battery tested and it tested good. I put my renegade battery in the outty and it acted the same way. I checked all the fuses.. all good.

Does anyone have any advice on where to start on tracking down the problem?

Thanks,

Jake

New member here Elsnappy is the name

New to this forum, not new to forums though, formerly a 250r owner and a 450r owner, just traded the 450r for my newest toy, 2016 Polaris 1k highlifter. So basically I’m new to the Polaris brand and I never thought I’d own a 4×4. If there is anything I may need to upgrade right away, please let me know, I’m all about upgrading to near bulletproof. Thank you in advance and I hope this forum is just as good as the other two I’ve been in.

2010 850xp- motor toast sell or try rebuild ?

So my 2010 850xp EPS which has around 4500 miles has been burning oil, like a quart or less about evry tank of gas. I took it into a shop and had them do a leak down and compression test and one cylinder is registering 145lbs while the other is 130lbs. So do I tear out the engine and try to rebuild myself with new rings and seals or jut sell it ? The mechanic said it doesn;t pay to have it rebuilt as that would run 4500 with shipping. there is a guy back in MN who rebuilds these motors but it is expensive, thus the 4500 price qoute.

Overall everything else is in pretty good shape.

What would you do ? Sell it ? Trade it in ? Rebuild the motor as best you can ?

Thanks in advance for your recommendations.

P.S. I am pretty mechanically inclined but never worked on a 4 stroke motor, usually just 2 stroke dirt bikes…

converting my non eps grizzly to eps

hi all. very first post here. I just picked up a 2007 grizzly 700, I also just purchased a power steering kit off a parted out 07 grizzly 700, the kit has the steering stem, complete wire harness, everything needed…I think. my question is will I also need the guage pod to make it work?? also I heard the ecu’s are the same and im hoping that’s true. I did use the search function on here and only 1 thing popped up from years back. thanks for any help and info!!
