This isnt a how big question..So I’m about to pull the trigger on some new tires and need some help. My 99 300fw doesn’t have a lift nor am I putting one on. I’m looking at either big horns or bear claws as I only see about 10%-15% mud.
I’m gonna do 26’s in the back but not sure if I can do 26’s upfront because of the slight difference in gear ratios or if I should go 25s up front. The rims are 12x7s. Also not sure how wide I can go. I don’t want really wides ones anyways. No wider than 8 or 9s in the front and no wider than 10 or 11s in the back.
Thanks
Hello just got a sportsman 1000 new to forum can’t wait to pick it up and riding. I had 2012 outlander 800 can’t wait to feel the power of the Polaris!!!
Thought id ask here because this forum is more active than the Kodaik Forum.
Ok, I have a 2016 Kodiak SE I got last February – hardly any miles on it. Using if for plowing this year. I would occasionally notice a squeak after I got it, but with the cold weather and time, i hear it quite a bit. Sounds like front end – not brakes. If I put it in Neutral and push it it squeaks. Anyone else? High pitched squeaks! Other than that runs fine… thanks.
I’m a long-time follower, first time poster so here it goes. My ’97 is in tip top shape buy yesterday, when I shifted into reverse and then into Low, the reverse light stayed on and the rev limiter kicked in…in all gears, high and low, I also noticed that my low beams are not working. I suspect this to be either a gear selector switch, or a R/W wire issue so I backtracked the wires to the board under the light. Everything was connected from what I see but when I disconnected a R/W coming from the harness, the R indicator light went off (as did the other gear indicator lights, AWD light (AWD works) minus the over heat indicator – that works) and ran as normal. I did notice that the low beams still did not work when the R/W was hooked back up so that could be the light switch itself being finicky. Could this rev limiter in all gears be a fuse, a connection issue or a failing gear selector switch that jacks-up everything else attached in the R/W board? If a switch, where can I find an aftermarket for a ’97? I’d like to have this back to 100% operational working order for a future sale but afraid to dig around a bunch of wires that may break due to age making things worse.
Many thanks
I’ll start by saying I am by no means a mechanic. I’ve got a 2002 Polaris Sportsman 500 HO. Today it’s 20 outside and we got snow so I was going to pull the kids on a sled. When I started and ran it for about 20 minutes it all the sudden cut off. When I tried to start it back up it did start and ran for about 5 seconds before cutting off again (I checked the fuel switch and it’s on). When I tried to restart it again you can hear the start turn but I don’t think I’m getting spark or compression. I tried turning it over a couple more times and could hear it hit one time. I was going to pull it back to the house and got the truck which took me about 10 minutes. Before connecting the tow strap I gave it another try and it started and I drove it back up to the house. The problem seems to happen when the 4wheeler gets warm and then it doesn’t seem to get spark.
I figured I would start hear before pulling the plug to see if there were any signs of damage. Any ideas??

I rarely have had to use the diff-loc on the bike but we got some snow the last couple of days and decided to engage it and take a blast down the road. I noticed right at 20mph the motor started to retard, like it was hitting a rev limiter. Is this normal ? Not sure if it was doing this cause I still had decent traction and all 4 tires were not spinning? Any insight would be appreciated.
