New to this Polaris Forum

2015 Polaris XP 1000 Sportsman

Has anyone experienced a loud clunking noise from transmission when running the 2015 Polaris XP 1000 Sportsman at low speed? Recently had serviced, Polaris tried new transmission, clutch, belt and other drive parts and could not correct. Polaris Factory stated noise is normal for the XP 1000. My concern, if normal why did Polaris factory offer new transmission and other parts? Dealer representative has expressed concern…Thoughts or others with same issue?

LIft kit

HI I purchased a new 2015 850 white lightening and wanted to put a lift kit on it. I spoke to Super ATV and was told the 2015 is different from the 2014 and the only way to put a lit kit was to cut out a section of the rear A arms. They did not recommend this. Has anyone put a lift kit on this machine.

2012 sportsman 550 fan relay

i have a 2012 sportsman 550 that I cannot get the fan to run on. I’ve tested fuses pulled the temp sensor plug checked the circuit breaker swapped relays around and even replaced the relay. Tonight I took the fuse/relay holder off the machine and with a test light probed the back side of fuses and relays. When I ground one terminal of the relay the fan came on. Any ideas of what is the problem.
