Hello, I’ve been having problems with my 97/98 Sportsman 335, it slips out of gear after I am up to 10-15mph, but prior to that, I parked it for the winter because it would not go after 5mph, it will now go right off the start, but seems to slip out of gear after a certain speed. Any ideas before I spend a ton for a bunch of stuff that doesn’t need to be replaced? Thanks guys!

Hello. I took my primary clutch apart to replace the one way bearing because it froze up one and now I can remember which way it goes back on. Which way should it spin. Thanks

I’ve recently re-acquired my 2004 Sportsman 700 from a buddy who could not pay for it. Several years back I decided I wanted a Ranger so in 2006 I sold the Sportsman, bought a Ranger XP 700 and kept my Rincon around. Yes the timeline is correct, the 700 was gone for almost 9yrs and only about 1/2 paid for over those years. Note to self-don’t sell to friends on payment…

I now have 2 Grandsons ages 3 and 6. Both love to ride anything with a motor especially with Grandpa. So I’m thinking that this year we are going to do some trail riding. The Rincon speaks for itself. Reliable, does nothing wrong and just a nice overall machine. My 700 needs work. I need to figure out the cooling fan issues, and possibly a water pump. I scrubbed the carb and it starts and runs like a champ It has EDL’s front and 27 vamps rear as well as EPI clutch kit. We used to play in the mud a lot. I also have the stock tires and might still have the stock clutching parts too.

I figure initially the 700 will get used, but I’m not sure how long that will last before I get sick of it. My initial thought was the X2. I really like the ability to open the rear diff as I do with the Ranger. Problem is the x2 is still a strut machine. I’d really like to avoid struts. I’d also like to have EPS based on how I like my Ranger 900. I’d also actually like to have a selectable front diff, but that’s not going to happen with Polaris. I’m probably in the minority here, but I find that the fully locked front pushes and will not climb out or ruts well.

For those riding the Touring and X2 how well do they work for carrying juniors? Are they overkill in size or are the kids pretty secure back there? Would I be better with a std machine and add a box with a back rest for the little guys?

I still have a little play in both rear wheels after replacing a lot of components in the rear wheel. Below is the list.

1. Replaced all bushing in the rear with jccapri bushing kit (upper and lower a-arm, shocks, upper bushing for wheel bearing carrier) for the Sportsman 500.
2. Purchased brand new wheel bearing carrier with new bearings, upper bushings, and sleeves.
3. Purchased brand new lower bushings and new sleeves for the wheel bearing carrier.

After replacing all these parts, most of the play in the rear wheel is gone; however, there is still some play. The only thing left to replace is the rear axle, wheel hub, and wheel studs. Just wondering if folks have had issues with the wheel hub or stubs. Please advise as soon as possible as I would like to fix this problem over the weekend.

2015 Sportsman 570. Trying to remove the access panel under the headlight pod to install the remote for the winch. I can pull it up and get three on each side clips to unclip but it seems not to want to keep giving. I don’t want to break my new toy so is there a trick? Tanks

Bought a 09 400 with The reverse not working. It stopped working when it was shifted into reverse and made a load bang. Is this a major fix? Any Polaris recalls or improved parts. Where can I get any special tools needed for repair? Thanks for any help. Jim from kenai,Alaska

I would like to place a 3 switch panel on my 2013 500. 1 to control a light bar, 1 to control small led underlights, and 1 to control a small led rear backup light. Just seeing if anyone has done it and if so post up some pictures. I’d like to get some ideas maybe where to put the panel.

Thanks guys

On my ’04 sportsman 500, are the headlights supposed to work together or do they work seperately? Meaning when the high beam is on the bottom two lights go out, and vice versa. Is that normal?
