I’m in the process of buying my first ATV. I’ve narrowed it down to two, the Outlaw 525 IRS or the Yamaha YFZ 450. I’m not worried about figuring out which one to buy as I like them both. I do have questions about the Outlaw though that I’m sure you guys can help with.
I’m going to be looking at an Outlaw 525 this week. It’s used and since I’m new to this I feel lost on a few things, so here we go:
1. It’s listed as a 2006 Outlaw 525 IRS. From everything I looked at it says that Polaris put the KTM 525 engine in the 2007 model. Did the 2006 come with that engine? He said it does have reverse if that helps at all. I have not seen it in person yet.
2. I’ve never bought a quad before. How can I cover myself to make sure that what I’m buying is not stolen an does not have a lean on it from the bank? I’ve been told that in North Carolina they don’t have title’s so that won’t help.
3. What are some Outlaw 525 IRS specific things I should be looking for when buying a used quad? He said everything is stock except the rims are "SS Rims" (no idea what that is). It also has a new battery, but everything else is stock.
4. Any other advice you can give me on buying a used quad?
Im working on a 2 stroke 50 Polaris for a guy and i cant seem to get it to crank. It has a new battery, and a brand new wire harness. And I ran a wire straight to the starter and it spun. However…it wont fire or crank on its own. Im about to replace the ignition switch but im wandering if i can bypass holding the brake to start it. There are two wires going to the brake and they are broke. Either they touch or disconnect or ground out. Ive tried all three and it still wont crank when i push the start button. Help!!
The original screws for holding on the gas tank side covers on my ’07 Outlaw 500 fell out long ago and I cant remember how or what they went into.
Apparently the screws I replaced them with were too big and too long and punctured the tank so it leaks gas from those holes now. I need to plastic weld those holes shut now.
What are the screws supposed to screw into? I don’t see a threaded hole on the tank itself.
Does anyone have a service manual for a 07 polaris outlaw 525 irs? I’ve looked everywhere and can only find the 09 service manual. This is my first polaris I’ve owned and I just got it a couple days ago and I want to look over it real good and check the valves cause its got a small tick. Thanks in advance.
Machine ran fine one weekend. Next weekend would not start with starter.
Could pull or push start though. Cleaned run stop switch, checked spark
Got one then none, switched to off then back on get one spark. Now I have none. Any ideas.
Thanks for the help

My daughter has ’12 outlaw 90 and it starts up fine and she warms it up and takes off and it bogs right down. Haven’t torn into it yet, any ideas? Hopefully it’s something simple.
looking at trading for a 2007 outlaw 500, add says its a special edition with fox podium shocks, bill balance exhaust, cant find much info on this special edition if any, also anything i need to check out before i pull the trigger on it?
Thanks
