So the wife and i decided we would get much more use out of a decent size boat since we are 5 min from the chesapeake bay And 45 min from the nearest place to ride. Ill prob pick up a beater dirt bike to ride around with the kids when we do decide to make the trip. So i wanted to see what a round wbout asking price should be. I craiglisted sportsmans in va and the new 500s are 6-65. Yet used (like 2006) 6 and 700s are almost 7k Doesnt really make sense. Mine is a 2013 500 ho camo with a polaris winch. I was thinkiń around 5k. If any one here would be intrested it will be in va by july. There crating it up monday. It has almost 1k miles but less tthan 100 hrs

I got the battery out but seems like it would be much easier to get back in with the fender removed. Is there an easy way to do this?

I blew out a rear axle shaft on my 500 Touring the other day, and I am trying to find one other than from the dealership. Are the Touring axle shafts the same as on the non touring 500s?

All the axles I have found outside of the dealership so far do not cover my model number:
A13DH50AX/AZ SPORTSMAN TOURING 500 HO

Figures I would have a problem right before I get ready to take a weekend off work to go out riding with my buddies.

Ok I am gonna post here because there is no ATP section and I was told it was basically a sportsman. So I changed the fluids (ie. Oil and transmission) last month well i didn’t have the torx bit I needed for the front gearbox so I got one. And changed the front today. Does anyone else have a hell of a time refilling it? It called for 5 oz according to the manual. I think there’s 10 oz of fresh fluid on my garage floor. Wondering for a future change if there is a trick?! I tried using a turkey baster thing to measure the oz and make sure I got the correct amount in, but I lost track with it running back out because I didnt get it all the way in and some getting stuck in the rubber ball at the top. I think I should be good. It was dripping out of the fill plug when I figured I had enough in there trying to compensate for how much I spilled. Sorry for the newb post, but who puts a fill plug sideways. Lol

I have a 1999 Polaris Sportsman 500. The Flywheel and stator went bad. It has a FF97 on it. Can I use a FF95

What 26in. rim and tire combo will keep 2014 570 within 50in

I just picked up a 2007 Sportsman 500 X2. I owned a 08 Sportsman 500 LE and a 2013 550 LE. I`ve noticed a few differences than the 08 already. Theres 4 brakes instead of 3. It has turf mode. Of course the extended wheelbase is easy to notice. It has a ADC fluid res but no switch? Please give me some more differences and opinions on this atv? I think I like it so far. I put 28x10x14 STI Black Diamonds on it and 14 inch HD4 rims with wheel spacers. Here are some pics.

So I have been working on this sportsman for way too long now. Fix 1 thing and another breaks kinda thing.

Here is what is new on it now:
Dynatek coil
Spark plugs
Tbap harness
Air filter
Fuel pump
Fuel filter
Oil and filter

Now it runs fine up high but stutters and pops and won’t idle. To keep it running I have to feather the throttle. Once the rpms pick up it runs like a raped ape.
