ok just picked this up, i plan to clean the clutches soon and inspect primary/secondary, probably replace buttons in the clutch and thinking i should do the springs, any advice on some clutching upgrades? not looking for a racer just want a decent clutch setup, thanks

Has anybody else tried more timing?

Was installing a new starter drive tonight and decided to advance my timing a little. Definite improvement. I am seeing about 75 to 100 RPM more at WOT with no changes to the clutching. I can feel an obvious difference and the exhaust note sounds much more crisp. It also help at part throttle. As soon as pulled out of my yard i could tell the motor felt and sounded better.

I do have lots of other mods so I may have noticed more of a difference but this should help any 4/500 if you dont mind running 93.

Picked up a 1997 sportsman 500 today for cheap. Need some help with it. It cranks and has spark and compression is 100psi. I put water in the radiator and it ends up in the cylinder. Do you think it’s the head gasket or a cracked cylinder wall. Or could it be something else. The compression has got me spoofed. It held the 100psi.

Please help me. Need this fixed by this weekend for a ride.

Thanks

I have a polaris sportsman 850 xp and I put a looney tuned slip on exhaust on it. It is snorkeled and when I get in water now it wants to cut off I’ve never had a problem with it until I put exhaust on. Do I need a power commander?

I cannot get the secondary clutch to seat on the shaft. I have tried shifting gears but it will not go on. any i:aargh4:deas

Okay so ive got a 2013 sportsman 500 H.O with a snorkelyouratv snorkel kit. The kit has been installed for about 8 months or so now but its always been more of a precaution then a need. well, now i like going deep. I took it out and actually when deep enough to cover the air box and it never stalled out but after being in a hole for 30 seconds or so i checked the drain tube on the air box and it had about a 1/4 inch maybe a little more of water in it. so i took the air box lid off found a spot it was leaking siliconed it up and went back to testing. Its better but still leaking a little. Whats the best way to find the leak? Thanks!

just got a cmf air box and was wondering which air filter I should go with. any suggestions?
