Solenoid Popping on 2007 Sportsman 800

Im having a issue with my solenoid popping. Ive replaced the solenoid and starter, the battery is fairly new and charged 100%. I have checked the grounds and cleaned them. I can start it by jumping the solenoid terminals with a screwdriver. And once the bike warms up I can turn it on and off with the key with no problems, but when its cold just popping. Any Ideas??

Scrambler 850 oil change info?

Hey guys I’ve been looking around at why oils and fluids I need for my fluid services don’t want to buy the Polaris stuff. I live in Houston Texas it get a lot hotter down here than where most of y’all are from, well my question is should I still run 0w40 Rottela like the other guys here or a heavier weight ?

Quick oil filter question

Do the 570 sportsman and 850 sportsman use the same size oil filter? Gonna help a buddy change his oil (he’s real mechanically inclined, but working on it) and want to buy a filter wrench that goes on the end of the filter. Just curious if they are the same or not. I’ll buy two if I need to. If it is different, can someone give me the filter number for the 850? Thanks.
