Hey guys, on my 91 fourtrax one headlight went out. So after I removed the light I couldn’t get the bulb to come out it was corroded in the socket. Is there a way to remove the lens cover from the light? Thanks

What do you think ?

I’m a new ATV owner and so far love my Sportsman. I have a couple LED Spotlights I’d like to install on the front rack (the only suitable location I can find that won’t interfere with the winch or get hit if too low) and before I worry about mounting them, I’d like to wire them up properly. When I say properly I’m assuming there’s a distribution block I can pull power from versus straight from the battery?? Can anyone provide advice from your experiences?
Thanks in advance… Hank

I just put on a 2017 set of Camso tracks on my outty 800. Questions:

1) I don’t have the special tension tool, how do you guys go about setting and checking tension?

2) When do you put it in high and when in low?

3) I have aftermarket shocks(GP Shox, similar to Elka stage 3s or 4s) should I keep the settings the same or soften them up a lot?

4) What equipment/tools should I bring with me on excursions?

5) How can you hurt or abuse these tracks? What should I avoid doing?

I am loving these things, not that fast but fun as heck. Driving to work in the morning is a lot more fun now.

Running the basic maint on the Polaris sportsman 400 4X4 2-stroke I picked up a few weeks back. Last night I changed out the front hub oil, drained and refilled the brake fluid, greased the grease points on the A-arms, steering shaft, and rear axle and changed out the counterbalance oil as well.

I noticed that there was a drain screw for the recoil, and then one for the crankcase. besides the hubs and the counterbalancer, are there any other fluids that need to be drained and filled on this machine?

I will do the transmission, but I have not received the AGL yet. so while waiting for that to arrive, are there any others. Since it is a 4X4, Does the front gear case have fluid in it?

How many of us enjoy riding in the snow this time of year? I love that early and late season when there is not too much snow but enough to make it a lot of slip sliding fun. Challenging to anticipate the deeper drifts and power through them, drifting around bends in the trail, heck making your own trail through the powder is a blast itself. The additional ground clearance of the SP is great too.

And I must admit I like the warmth coming off that right side this time of year. Hahaha! I do!

The only thing that I have had to worry about was the snow can get packed up into and around the radiator – I’d think that would perform cooling even better, but the fan still comes on pretty often even in the cold temps.

Word of caution to those who transport their wheeler in the bed of their pickup – the bed liner is quite slippery with snow on it. I have learned to crawl the machine up the ramps so I won’t go slamming into the front rail of the bed. I’ve always been one of those people who don’t like those few moments when my wheels are on the ramps so I tend to get in and out of the truck pretty quickly, and the first time I did in the snow I thought I was going through the back window of my truck!

These darn machines are SO MUCH FUN!

Merry Christmas to everyone here on the forums – I have learned a lot from you all!

what rims can I use on a 97 fourtrax 300 fw? looking for 12 inch rims. heard I could use Rancher rims. but not sure.

A couple years ago I picked up a set of almost new PXT tires as spares. The 489’s on my 500 are getting low and I was thinking about swapping these tires. How do the PXT compare to the 489’s? They appear to more of an aggressive tire. Should I just get new tires or will these tires give me the same performance and reliability as the 489?

Also the PXT are 26" and 489 25", will this give me any issues. They are both the same width.

Thanks

2014 850 sportsman 33 hrs and 200 or so miles. Hasn’t had 1st service yet. ran perfect when parked. It hadn’t been cranked in a couple of months. I backed out of the garage and it started right up. 1 lap around the house and parked it in the drive way. What did I find to my surprise almost all the oil running out on the ground. Nothing touching stick. Topped it off with a quart and a half. Cranked it back up and out it came. appears to be coming from the middle of the skid plates where the filter and plug are. Plug and filter have never been off. Any Ideas I’m heading back to dealer this week.
