I got bad gas…

Life got the best of me this year and to make a long story short my machine has a half tank of gas (w/ no stabilizer) and hasn’t been started for around 9 or 10 months. I have apologized to it and promised this will never happen again, but in the meantime I’m faced with what to do to remedy the problem. Ideally I suppose I should get the tank off and drain the gas, replacing with non-EtOH gas (which thankfully I just found in my area).

Any advice on how to get this done (draining the tank) or how difficult it might be?

What would you do in this situation?

Fuel Injector broken wire

Ok fellas

I have a 2011 Ranger 800 crew , had a engine miss and traced it down to a Broken Injector wire at the Injector end . I repaired the connector (Polaris only sales the injector and harness as a unit) but silly me when wiring the Injector crossed the wires , When cranked it ran perfect for two maybe three seconds and died . Hasn’t started since . Thinking I mat have fried the ECU. Can anyone confirm this . Will wiring a injector wrong burn the ECU ??

2014 Sportsman 570 Front Differential Leak

Hi everyone,

Recently Purchased a 2014 Sportsman 570 used via a private seller. Has about 975 Miles. The only problem I can find is a slight leak from the front differential. I have already purchased two seals online, just waiting for them to be delivered. The differential has a some play, I have attached a video, is this amount of play normal ? I am now wondering if I will also have to replace components inside of the actual differential…

HBilly Intro Thread

Hi everyone. Here’s my intro:

I’ve got 6 quads and 2 dirt bikes. The quads range from 700cc down to 90cc. We used to let the older grandkids ride the adult quads but after hearing stories of friends knowing families that had kids seriously hurt or killed riding adult quads we decided to put an end to that and bought some kids quads and a kids dirt bike. The first quads were chinese and they were a royal PITA. So I ended up buying a new Polaris Outlaw 90 in 2014 and a new Yamaha TTR110. Figured that would end my need to constantly repair the kids rides. WRONG!

I now have issues with the Outlaw 90 and I’m looking for some help with this issue. I’ve ordered the service manual but that will take 1 1/2 to 2 weeks to arrive. I want to get this fixed before my grand daughter comes to visit in 3 weeks so I started taking things apart without the service manual. I will go into this further in another post after I figure out how to post pics and videos on this forum.

’09 Grizzly 450 sluggish

I’ve see responses to this issue before online, but now cannot locate them, so…

Once my ’09 450 Griz is warmed up, it will not take much of a throttle before bogging down, only reaching 11-19 mph. It’s used with about 2,900 miles, and had ran great for the past year. Now it fits right up and idles fine.

What I know:
Air filter is clean;
Gas flows into carb freely;
Gas is clean;
The Griz has been ridden frequently and has not been sitting for extended periods.

What I’ve heard:
Carb problems, dirty electrical connections, faulty limiter.

It seems this is a common problem, but I have not heard the solution. And go!
