I apologize in advance if this has been posted somewhere already. I want to know how to create a poll in one of the forum sections. Can this be done or do I need to only post it in the Poll Discussion section? And, do I have the capabilities and permission to do so? Thanks, I appreciate any help.

Fender Flares
I just installed a set of Direction 2 Fender Flares today. The install was pretty easy, took about an hour total. I had to remove the rear wheels to gain enough access to drill the holes.
I’ll throw up a pic later today, and some more once I clean it all up.
96 polaris XP hi beem low beem
Hey guys just a quick and dirty way to show how the headlights work.
when you switch to lo beem +12 volts is applied to green wire harness. when you switch to hi then you will have both +12 volts on the green wire AND the YELLOW wire. see attch diag.

2004 SP 400 Electrical nightmare HELP!
First: am aware of of the Polaris ECM recall.
So I accepted a 2004 Sportsman 400 that was rolled. I had a good frame from another sportsman that had a bad motor. I removed everything from the 2004 and relocated it to the new frame. Problem happened when I connected the battery. I had not realized that the positive lead for the hand warmers was touching the frame, as I had not connected them yet. This lead was a positive 12v going from/to the ignition switch and the ECM. I smell burning, remove the ground off the battery and notice the hand warmer lead being pressed onto a bolt by the wiring harness. Needless to say, this was a BAD short. I opened up my ECM …. she is fried. I taped up the positive lead for the hand warmers, TRIPLE checked all connections, opened up some wiring loom to ensure nothing was abnormal, checked polarity, voltage, grounds, cranking amps of the battery, and swapped ignition switch. I spent over an hour making sure there were no other problems. Everything looked great. No water, no corrosion, no burnt wires, you get the idea. I installed the other (and last) ECM i had and…. ECM #2 gives up the smoke within seconds… it’s as if I were installing the battery leads backwards… at this point i was furious and sleep deprived at 1:30 am. I removed the entire wiring harness, opened up all of the loom, and carefully inspected EVERY SINGLE WIRE. I found no problems at all. I am a master automotive and diesel technician, and this simple… toy, had me tossing and turning last night. At this point I am going to use the other wiring harness that I have, buy a new ECM, and go from there. I am going to assume that the harness was damaged somehow in the rollover (which wasn’t that bad) and that I could not detect the problem when I inspected it. My question to you experts is: is it possible that this short that occurred, could have damaged another component that caused the second ECM to burn up? like the CDI box or ignition coil? Do you have ANY ideas, suggestions, or thoughts for me before dropping in a $150 ECM and potentially firing that as well? Thank you.

TheATVSuperStore Mighty Tite Tie Down System after a accident.
I received a email from a customer that purchased one of our ATV tie down system over a year ago. It was installed on their company trailer and was in a major accident. The unit they was hauling was a 1900LB Kubota UTV with equipment in the bed of it pushing the weight of the unit over 2000 lb!! The system did its job and kept the UTV in place. Both the truck and trailer were totaled.
Our Mighty Tite system is 100% made of metal. No straps to loosen or break. It is also 100% made in America! See email below.

ATV tie down system for your Quad or UTV?

Accident in Baton Rouge, LA. Mighty-Tite in use during double-airbag deployment accident. The ATV remained in place. Several comments by law enforcement and emergency workers complimenting performance of the ATV anchoring system.
The driver in oncoming lane was distracted by something and drove left-of-center, our driver reacted to avoid a head-on. The impact was glancing on the front driver’s side. Three cars total were forced off the road. At-fault driver was ticketed for careless operation and driving left-of-center. No serious injuries.
Our replacement for the damaged Mighty-Tite system arrived yesterday and will be installed on a new trailer this week.

No start. Has spark and fuel? P1202
So I am helping my friend out with his quad. He picked up a 2011 outlander 500 DPS cheap. He said it had a bad ticking noise so he tried to adjust the valves to no avail. He brought it to me and stated it had a rod knock or so he thought. I pulled the heads and found bad wear indicating piston slap. I replaced the pistons with wisecos and had the cylinders bored. I had the haeds gone though and replaced all the valve and seals with a valve grind. I put it together and now it won’t start. I have spark. I have fuel pressure at the injectors. I double checked my mechanical timing and valve adjustment and everything is spot on. It won’t start even with a shot of starting fluid.
I did have one code P1202. I get conflicting info on the web. One article states it is a oil pressure switch still closed and the other article states gas mass sensor circuit frequency high.
Any info would be greatly appreciated!
