im in need of a plug wire for an 02 sportsman 700. its broke on both ends. supposed to be going to hatfield and mccoy on the 13th. any help please?

My son took my wife’s quad out and some how the oil filter came loose and dumped all the oil out. He said he shut it off quickly but Im thinking a mile or so running with no oil. Now it has knock at idle. All but gone off idle. My question is what would be the probable cause?

So was looking at my new 570 only to find the fill plug is blocked by the winch. It was dealer installed and correct for this model. Any tips to get around this short of dismounting the winch?

Hi everyone, I have a 2013 sportaman 400. I have it built up for mudding. 27"x9x12 mega mayhems, wildboaratv rad relocation kit, home made snork (done the right way). I have not yet backed up the axles but that time as come and I busted up my back axles and my fronts a week before that. So right now I’m sitting with my quad on jacks and can not drive. I have ordere rhino axles for the rear but we’re out of stock for the front. I could really use the help on getting my axles out. I heard you just push and pull hard and it should pop out but that won’t work now because the upper CVs are just a shell now and the axles will not go back in. Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks Reid.

So after an evening of tapping and pulling and expletives I’ve come to realize that there must be a trick to this… I watched the YouTube and searched the forum and still can’t get my rear axle out. I pulled the inner cv apart yanking on it, and the cup is stuck in the diff. It’s making me mean. Please help.

I feel a little dumb asking this but I am replacing my steel cable with a synthetic rope. Ive only helped do this a couple times so maybe I’m missing something. the one’s Ive done the cable just comes off. Mine seems to be wedged or attached to winch. There is a small piece of metal wedged between cable and side of wheel. Ive tried pulling sliding and pushing that piece and nothing.

Ive googled this and most cables just come right off on video or they dont show them removing it.

I have an 2012 polaris sportsman pursuit with a polaris winch. Pretty sure its a 3500.

Any ideas

Hi All,
I have a 1995 sportsman 400 4×4.
Machine has about 1000 miles on it ,but I have no idea how much service the eccentrics received as far as greasing etc prior to me buying it.
Anyway,on a ride the other day we got into some sand and shortly there after i heard alot of noise from the frnt end (shrieking and grinding)
You could feel it in your feet ,which generally would mean it was caused by something fairly directly connected to the frame.
The noise would come up mostly in 4 with the wheels turned ,so I assumed it was being made worse by the torque of the locked front end.
I wasnt far from the truck so I put it back in 2 and drove the mile back .
In the shop today I noticed the front chain had considerable slop ,so I adjusted it ,and tested it in the yard,noise still there,came back to shop and found chain loose again.
But this time I could pull on the chain and see the mid eccentric shaft move about a 1/4 inch in the bearing.

Thoughts on bearing price?
Should i pull the whole eccentric and change both bearings?

So,,long story short,naturally this is a problem I’ll have to fix asap before using it again,but could I be missing the mark and should I be looking for other causes of this noise as well?
Does anyone else have experience with worn out eccentric bearings and is this a common issue and does it sound to you like this is fairly likely the cause?
Obviously Ill change the bearings and if the sound is gone,well no prob and im on my way.
Ujoints and wheel bearings are all fine,I checked them.

Thanks in advance for any help someone might be able to give me 🙂

I’m wondering if someone can provide some step by step instruction on how to fix the exhaust so the my right ankle does’t burn. With long pants it’s not too much of a problem. But I’d like to wear shorts occasionally without having to dangle my right leg over the side. I don’t want to go through the expense and time to get the ceramic coating. It’s a ’15 570 eps. I really don’t know much about atv repair so I need simple terms :).

Thanks,

I just bought a 2015 scrambler 1000 and was wondering if anybody had any tips for a smooth break-in period.
So far i was told to:
Not hold one steady throttle position for too long, vary it.
Don’t go WOT yet.
I’ve already ran it for 15 minutes then let it cool down to seat the rings or something along those lines.
I’ll change the oil after the 25 hour break-in.
Dealer said to use always use low gear unless necessary to use high gear.

Anything else I should be aware of?
Thanks.

I also bought a Polaris 2500 display model winch for $100. The bracket isn’t for mine but we can fab one for it. Hell of a deal though.

Hi All,

I have read a few other posts about this issue but can’t quite figure it out.

I just picked my ATV up and it has been dealer serviced about a month ago.

After riding my ATV around for about 10 minutes the "HOT check engine" light came on. When it came on I stopped and checked and the fan was not on. The engine was also very hot. So I’m assuming the engine is overheating because the fan is not coming on.

I have seen some posts about unplugging the sensor or the thermostat and seeing if the fan came on. I couldn’t figure out which these two things were but I unplugged a couple things on the left side of the engine one at a time but the fan didn’t come on. Not sure what I was unplugging though.

Can anyone help me troubleshoot this and figure out what is really going on?

I heard some people saying you can put 12 volts directly to the fan to see if it works? I’ve read a lot about this but I’m sort of hoping for an explicit explanation of what I can do.

Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks :slomo:
