Hey all im new to the forum and decided to make an account because i can not figure out what the issue is with my quad, and sick of the dealer giving me problems.
I own a 2009 Sportsman 500 H.O….about 2 months ago while I was riding, the belt snapped on me mid trail. I have another 09 sitting in the garage waiting on a new carb. I took the belt off this one, and placed it on the one that snapped. It ran fine for about 5 miles to the gas station, turned it off, gassed up, and it started right back up.
PROBLEM: After the belt swap, the RPMs were running from 4k-5k and the quad wouldn’t want to go past 20-30 MPH, so I pulled over, listened for odd noises, etc. but nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Only way I could get it to go past 20-30 was by pulling the clutch out about 1/4 of the way, then it would go up to around 40 tops, but with hesitation (RPMs still at 4k-5k and creeping to get there).
I tried searching for solutions, and all I came across that was similar was bad buttons or a bad secondary. Any info would be great? If more info is needed just let me know.

I am trying to help out my neighbor with his 250. It has a very weak spark that seems to get weaker the longer you crank it, then it eventually goes away all together. I replaced the coil and the cdi. Tested the various wires on the stator plug according to the polaris manual, and these are all in the suggested range. I have been over the wiring to look for bad connections.
What am i missing?
Hey all.. getting ready to lube and do oil change and want to verify what I need.. Going Amsoil and my local rep recommends the following.. look right?
I’m trying to change the front wheel bearings on my 2013 sportsman 500 but I can’t get the old bearings out. I have the cv shaft off and have tried pounding the old bearings out with a socket and pb blaster but I’m not making any progress. I did remove the circlip. Any tips? Thanks
I have a bad stator in my 700 and its a 2002 model and I cant find the whole igniton upgrade for this yr model..I have found them for 03-04 and part # is 2202602 and was wondering if anyone knows of the part # for my yr model 700 on this kit?
I bought a 02 Magnum 500 RMK and it was running a little ruff so I rebuilt the carb and put in new fuel filter with fresh gas. Before that it would bog down and I could barely get it to go over 35mph. Now it runs great wide open most of the time it will run 50mph but quick throttles from a start is still a little ruff and sometimes it wont go over 35 mph still. Im not sure whats going on. Any info. Would be great. Also it would help if I had a service manual
