I am new to Polaris Forum (and to ATVs)
Under minimal research and curiosity, I was able to to get 2012 Sportsman Touring 500 HO. I was surprised how much premium 2UP takes (just to keep ex happy and yet she never tagged along).
ATV run fine, was clean so i simply happily took it on trails.
But on maintenance, i got stumbled a bit.
I changed oil (a bit unusual when comparing to cars) but I found loose hose that got me very worried. There is a hose by crankcase drain plug that goes to nowhere, and I fear that it may such in moisture or worse water into engine:
When removing seat I found that there is a broken connection so hose doesn’t connect to airbox (relatively obvious fix) but I noticed piece of aluminum foil covering port in carburetor.
I wonder if that’s where the house from under the has to go.
Lastly, obligatory picture of how my ride looks like:
