my Tank!!

My buddy has an 06 Wolverine 400, nice quad, anyway, took his son yesterday so he rode mine, 016 sportsman 450 ho and i got a text, Dude, this things a Tank! Very Impressed! Think the Fourtrax will go bye bye soon for an upgrade!

primary clutch problem

Hello, I have a 2001 Polaris Xplorer/Trail Blazer, 2 stroke, oil injected. When I start it up in neutral all is well. When engaging in forward or reverse it slams in a bit hard and wants to inch forward. When I apply the brake it dies. I took the cover off the transmission and had some dirt in the weights and other places. Cleaned all areas and lubed up my weight so they were more free of movement. Put the belt back on and still have the problem. Internal bearing? Any help on this would be gratefully appreciated. Thank you.

New years eve riding

Went and did some riding during the day on New Years eve. Put 40 more miles on the sportsman 400. Its been a yr and a half since I bought this bike, and I think I enjoy it more every time I ride it. Its obviously not the most powerful thing on the trails, but it gets me down the trails for a good rip and back home again

Adding fuel gauge 04 sportsman.. cant find web link

I have found (a few months ago) an install on the whole fuel gauge for his sportsman. His machine did not have the gauge in the pod or anything. he added some parts and walla, said it has been working good so far.. Ill be darned if i didnt save the page/link… 🙁
does anyone have a link or something for me so i can look into doing this to my quad?

battery concerns

I thought that my sportsman 450 ho had a beefed up electrical system. Supposed to be able to power all kinds of electric gadgets, why then does my winch suck the life our of the battery, quickly!
Gonna get a oversized battery, big bucks but don’t want winch to keep killing my quad. That’s enough wining for now.
