Well I found out that I tore my rotator cuff and will be having surgery next monday. No riding of my goldwing or sportsman for 4 to 6 months. Kinda makes my summer seem less exciting lol. I will have to live thru others exploits on U tube so PLEASE post video’s

So I picked up a 93 sportsman model W938039, (I was told it was a 400, but motor says 350)(2 stroke) I picked it up fairly cheap and will be fixing it up for my wife to ride with me. They said it sat for 3 years. I cleaned out the gas tank, fuel lines, filter and Carburetor (3 times), I also checked the exhaust for blockage. Here is my issue…..After cleaning everything out I can get the engine to purr and rev up nicely. When i take it for the test drive it will accelerate and then when I go to coast it starts popping (assuming from back pressure) very loudly but then runs rough and dies. After this happens I cannot get it to start back up. The exhaust would pop so much that it would blow the exhaust off the engine hole. Any help on this would be very appreciated. It has done this 2 times after i get everything cleaned out.

Thanks in advance.

hi there, im new to this fourm, just bought my first atv 2015 sportsman 850,
i am having an issue with the bike, picked it up last wednesday, parked it in my garage, went to start it friday and the battery was dead.
charged it friday night, road it for a few hours saterday with no issues, love the bike, go to start it last night and the battery is dead again. i pulled the battery and charged it, load tested it and it passed, never droped below 11.5v at half of CCA’s but the voltage is dropping off steadily by its self, my question is any one elce ever get a bad battery from new? the dealer is going to get me a new one but i like to do my own reasearch first. also i had the dealer put a 3500lbs winch on the bike, is there a factory upgrade for the battery?

thanks

Hello everyone I’m new to the forum, just got myself the sportsman etx last week and I love it…I have no accessories or anything for it, bone stock. I was just wondering if I buy a bad land winch from harbor freight can I mount that on it or does it have to be a Polaris winch, and also is there any aftermarket parts available for it yet or no because it is too new?

I have a 2014 850 XP I don’t have any power to ignition or Gauges but do have power to fuse box, starter. Is there an Ignition fuse and if there is where is it. It worked good parked it for the winter and 2 days ago it wouldn’t start.

Made a post about an older 500 a few weeks ago, ended up getting an 09 400 tonight, with a blade, low hours, low km. She’s red. That’s about it haha
I don’t know to much about it, any tips, hints , thoughts on It would be awesome

2007 sportsman . when I push foot brake I get pressure in the hand brake master cylinder. Nothing at the caliper

same thing with hand brake. If I push it, it forced the fluid to the foot brake resivor.

If I push foot brake then use the hand brake everything works.

Right now I have foot brake zipties down so hand brake works.

Trying to figure out what I need to replace to get foot brake working.

Is there a check valve in there somewhere?

My sp700 is a carb model and for no reason will just start to spit, spudder and stall. After sitting a while it will run ok until the next episode. Could it possibly be some crap in the carb bowl? or what else should I look for. I did install a new fuel filter months ago.

Thanks!
