Hello I have a 2002 sportsman 500 HO and can’t seem to figure out what is wrong with my atv. I bought it used and was trail riding one day no problems then took a break turned the fule to off and forgot to turn it on ran the atv and it started bogging out. I switched the fuel to on immediately the atv did not die but now when I give it throttle it feels like it’s going to die and slowly creeps up to speed but is allot less power than before. If pull the choke while driving I get full power and pick up but as soon as I press the choke back in same issue. I have had some backfiring but not sure if this I caused by me pulling the choke. I have replaced the spark plug, inline fuel filer, 3 way fuel shut off valve, cleaned out the carb which was not that dirty. I can think of what I am missing or have overlooked. If anyone has help resolving this issue that would be greatly appreciated.

i have a 335 sportsman that has no spark when cranking it over. i put in a different speedometer it will have spark and start. Does anyone know what is wrong with speedometer and how to fix it? Also does anyone know if i can find a schematic for this speedometer?

Not sure if I should try myself or not, My 600 sportsman exhaust manifold gasket is leaking pretty bad. Part is available and it looks like just the 2 Allen head bolts will free up the manifold, My fear is breaking the bolts while removing. Any advice would be much appreciated, Thanks

hey y’all new to the site. just got a 2000 polaris sportsman 500. sup everybody?

I joined up here a little while ago trying to find some info about my old ’02 Sportsman 500, but haven’t posted yet so I figured this outta be my first post. Well all the little problems starting coming up and my dad got sick of getting it fixed all the time so I ended up getting a 2015 Sportsman 570 for my 16th birthday. This, in combination with my first real job (heavy duty mechanic apprentice) has me really itching to do some upgrading on my quad and what better place for information than this! That about wraps it up for now, see ya’ll around!

Thanks for letting me into your community.2013 XP 850 Touring owner with the slipped timing gear curse..Google was my friend for finding this forum..Ive already learned why the problem exists so this Forum has already helped me greatly..Thanks again…:veryhappy:

Bought my 2015 scrambler 1000 a month ago brand new and have 600 miles on it already.
I was alittle disappointed in it power delivery. Was expecting more low end power then what it has. Mid range and top end impressed me a lot.
Added QSC clutch kit with adjustable weights with my 27" mega mayhems and it brought some power down low. Put the stock tires back on for fun and really noticed the clutch bringing it to life for lower power.

So far Im enjoying the new quad and hope to follow along on this forum for mod ideas for my winter projects.

Been searching through this forum for a few months now, thought maybe it was time I made my own account and introduce myself.
