Hey All, I’m the new guy from Tucson, AZ. Just picked up a 2004 500HO Sportsman with 280 hours and 2250 miles. All I gave for it is a Honda generator and a couple of second amendment items. It does need a starter and maybe the bendix too, won’t know til I tear into it. But it does start easily with the rope. Have been reading lots of good info on this site since I decided to look for a quad. I’m up in age now (75) and the little trail bike was getting harder and harder to push through the sand so I decided to go with a 4wheeler and really liked what I learned about the Polaris, especially the Sportsman. Gonna use it mostly for hunting small game, rabbits, coyote, squirrels, etc. and then just for some good times trail riding. After all, I can’t let you young dudes have all the fun!!!! Looking forward to learning a lot from all of you.
