Removable winch mounts

I would like to see if anyone has pictures of front & rear winch mounts, other than stock. Would like to keep the winch movable from front to rear on my 11′ 800 sportsman, possibly same thing for the wife’s 11′ X2. Thanks for ideas

Starter solenoid hot and smokes

I have a 99 sportsman 500. Put a new battery in and when I use electric start it turns slow and doesn’t want to fire. User recoil and fires right up. When I crank with the electric start the starter solenoid next to the battery starts to smoke a little and gets hot. Can someone recommend some solutions or threads that would help? Thanks.

2015 Polaris Sportsman 850 shifting into gear and how to remove speed limiter

I bought a 2015 sportsman 850 White lightning a few weeks ago. Whenever I shift it into any gear I have to ease on the gas until it catches gear, and it feels kinda rough. Is this normal? I had an 850 a few years ago but don’t really remember much about how it shifted. My 2013 400 HO isn’t like that but this is a totally different machine. Any help would be awesome!

Also is there anyway to remove the speed limiter without voiding warranty? I mean its fast enough I’d just like to have it removed.
