I’ve had a sports quad for a few years (Raptor 250), but wanted to get something to carry my chainsaw gear, and pull a small trailer in to the woods so got this:
It’s a sportsman 850 EPS (but you knew that already!)
It came with rear box, front winch and spotts, heated grips and throttle.
Had a few bits to do, added mirrors, sorted brake lights (dodgy connection under front rack), wobbly headlight (one of the tags had broken off, which I’ve glued and reinforced with metal plate). Just now need to mount a front number plate to get it through its annual road test (MOT), and rear number plate lights.
I didn’t get an owners manual with it, so downloaded one from Polaris, however the 2010 manual didn’t seem to match, my battery is under the front rack, but manual says under seat. Had to go a year or two forward to get one that looks like it matches – anyone any ideas? It’s got French warning stickers if that makes any difference. I’m also after a workshop manual if anyone has any pointers please?
Finally I noticed a rubber piece under the small rear trunk/boot thing.. I had a fiddle and found some bits of what looks like CVT belt – so guess it failed at some point. The bit I can’t figure out is that rubber piece looks like it should connect to the CVT exhaust, however it doesn’t quite reach or look like it actually fits:
Is it meant to be joined somehow? If not, then the rubber is just blocking the vent to some extent which is a bit silly.
Can’t wait to get the road test done, then I can go out and play 🙂
