AWD?…Nope 3WD..
Hi everyone, new to the Polaris family with a 2004 Polaris sportsman 500 ATP.
I just bought this off a guy who told me it all worked with the exception of needing new brakes. And after a test drive it appeared that the awd was working. Now that I’ve had it home for a few days and driven it around, I’m finding that even in awd the rear end would kick out a lot around corners and the front wouldn’t pull very well in AWD. So I’ve done some investigating and found that while raised up on jack stands and running, only the rear wheels and right front wheel would engage in AWD and turf :wtf: . The left front just spins freely with no resistance. I’ve been reading over other threads on similar issues, with only one front wheel engaging and it seems a common issue is a coil in the hub but my model doesn’t seem to use any coil system in the hub.

Anybody have any suggestions before I start tearing it apart?

Retrofitting a 1986 Fourtrax 350
I have a 1986 Fourtrax 350 with the stock 24x9x11 tires mounted on 11×7 rims. I am thinking that both the tires (which are totally shot) and the rims (which are dinged up and appear to have had silicone applied to them (perhaps for bead sealing purposes) need to be replaced.
Stock size rims appear to be unobtainium. What is a recommended setup for converting to sizes more readily available in 2017? My application is primarily for plowing snow in winter, and smashing down weeds in spring and summer.
I appreciate the help!

Moab Utah
A big group of us we’re out in Moab riding and camping last spring break, it also happen to be the same week As the jeep safari! It was awesome, lot of fun. We camped at slick rock campground and it was horrible! We are going back this spring break and we want to camp primitive. I’m looking for some recommendations of where to camp that’s not a camp ground? Thanks

TRX300 1990 spun cam bearing
I guess I got hooked. I bought a 1988 trx300fw and loved it. Then I found a 1990 trx300 that had a "broken cam chain". I got it for $200. I dont know how the shop thought the chain was broken. I pulled the cover off and the cam bearing was destroyed. I’ve ordered a used top end off ebay to replace it. The oil filter was in correctly and the oil looks pretty old.
Based off seeing the remains of a liquid gasket material, I’m assuming someone has been in the top end. The bearing near the cam gear was fine. Could they have over tightened the cam chain and thus the far bearing went out?
The other thing is I dont want to disassemble the engine to clean it. Can I just flush it a few times?
I checked the oil filter and didnt find tons of aluminum but it was present. I also filtered the oil from the crank case and only found two small "chunks".
Thanks in advance

Important Tire talk for my grizzly 700
Hey all, just a question for you experience grizzly riders. I just purchased a 2016 Yamaha grizzly 700 a few months ago and wanted to upgrade my tires. I am a trail/mud/rock/snow just a general rider, i was thinking 28inch maxxis zillas as i know they’re light a fit like 27s or 27 inch mega meyhems. Will i need any clutch mods or will i be alright for power. If i do need any mods should i go with shims or a spring. The help would be greatly appreciated cause i know i will lose some power and i want to gain it back, that being said i want my clutch engagement to remain smooth and not jumpy. If i lose around a little top end that isnt a big issue just want the bike to run like stock ( have good power etc) thanks for your time guys
