Polaris 2500 Winch Question???

My Polaris 2500 winch is not working. I checked it out with a mechanic (friend) which revealed the actual winch to be bad. I have not taken the winch off my 2014 Scrambler 1000 yet. My question is; is there a serial number or part number on the actual winch? I’m looking to contact Polaris and complain due to the winch only being a 1.5 years old (not that they will do anything for me…) and would like to reference the serial/part number on the winch if so. Thanks in advance for your time.

2015 Sportsman Touring Ball Joint Issue

Hello,

I purchased a 2015 Touring 570 new about 3 months ago. A couple weeks ago while riding down a dirt trail the front left wheel basically came off. I was going about 30mph but luckily was able to come to a stop without incident. I took it to the dealer a week and a half ago and have finally heard back from them that they aren’t ordering parts until Polaris approves the claim – they think that it will be denied because "ball joints don’t just come apart". I didn’t hit anything, it only has 230 miles on it and 200 of those miles are dirt roads not even rough trails. I am uploading three pictures, one of them shows the trail leading to where the ATV came to rest, I took this picture on the advice of the people I was riding with to show that I didn’t hit anything.

Any advice for how to deal with Polaris if they deny this? I honestly feel like they should be saying sorry that came apart, glad you weren’t injured…instead of what did you do to break it?



scrambler 500 4×4

Hello I own 2 scrambler 500’s an 01 & 04 ho ,the 01 has eletrical issues but everything else is in great shape. The 04 has been wrecked and she’s smoking now. I was going to try and rob all the eletrical of the 04 and place it on the 01, but the flywheel and stator are a quater inch smaller ID . Theyboth mount the same and the OD is the same. My biggest question is – Are the flywheels balanced to a particular engine or are they interchangeable ? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Picking up my new defender

I put a deposit down on a new defender XT. Hoping to pick it up this weekend.

Ordered a hd8 XT in metallic silver. Windshield with wiper, rear glass panel, doors, and a snowplow.

I live in the mountains of northwest Wyoming next to Yellowstone. Hopefully more people with defenders can share their experiences. When I was researching defenders there was very little info from actually owners.

In need of parts for 06 sportsman 800

I had some bad luck. I had an accident pulling the quad on the trailer. Sad to say the quad is totaled, but I am looking to rebuild it all. I’m in need of everything from frame, hubs, axles, shocks, brake lever, plastics, racks… I need a lot lol so if anyone has any for sale please feel free and post what you have for sale.

’85 TRX 250 Master… Can we rebuild it? Should we? lol

I am not even sure what the two front brake drums/panels? look like inside. Right now I only have back breaks and for what I do with it it is good enough. But if my front drums look OK once I finally check them out I am wondering if this master is rebuildable. It’s a touch pitted and scored inside but I believe it’s doable. Like I said it wont be getting any major use but it’s nice to have good brakes all around.

If stuff checks out I will rebuild.
Just wondering how uncruded you folks have made stuff.
