Yesterday I replaced the battery in my 2012 Sportsman 500 HO. Thought I was paying attention to details, but when I get the new batt in the holder and go to connect the cables, I see there is an extra, large red cable with an end that appears that it could be connected to the + battery terminal. I’m 99 % sure this cable was not connected to the battery, and the machine starts and runs fine and lights work. Also, this extra cable is not bent and formed as if it were connected to the battery. It appears to be left under the seat for some "optional use".

We have 2 ,2016 Grizzlies,2002 grizzly 660. 2007 400ex,2000 ,400ex,Dirt bikes ,Jeeps,
i have a 2005 700 efi sportsman has 60+ miles on it , i had put in storage after 2-3 years of use. enter problem, fuel was left in it by mistake and ended up solidifying in to sand like grains . long story short i replaced the fuel pump and cleaned all fuel system myself ( resisted the 700$ fuel tank price option from dealer). wouldnt start no matter what i did ,got frustrated an busy at work and project got shelved 1.5 years but i put additive in tank. i got back into it in the last 2 months as i need it to plow my drive as i lost my plow trk. i drained and cleaned tank again , tested and cleaned injectors, checked wires in and out of ecu (a ok, whew!)get fuel to fuel rail, (cont. test and volt test ok) finally read and tested fuel pressure test and i have 11-12 psi . i know its to be 39 +-3%, do i have bad fuel pump even though its only 1.5 and unused but submerged ? or my theory by reading threads that it is the pressure regulator plugged or stuck open? about to say f it and get full fuel assembly but have to do 150-175$ option when it might be a 40$ option fix, as it kind of tight financially and snows coming. is it worth the 40$ gamble or 200$ gamble? i see set of pumps and reg for 70$ but for convenience being thanksgiving weekend the jeep reg talked about maybe easier locally to get my hands on quicker
Bought a 2017 Sportsman 850SP seven days ago. I got a great deal and was excited to get it home. Backed it out of the truck and drove it out to show my brother. He was suitably jealous. While it’s a little out of character for me I took it back home and parked it and sat and read the manual. Later I took it out for another run. Total ride time – maybe 20 minutes. Pulled up in front of the garage, went to put it in reverse and it died. NEVER TO START AGAIN.
Less than 24 hours later its back at the dealer. No spark. Best guess is that the ECM went south. Dealer is working with Polaris but it is going extremely slow. I’m trying to stay positive but I have to admit that I’m nervous. I’ll be pretty hesitant to take it any distance for fear that it will die on me again. Some internet searches seem to indicate this is more common that one would think. For as long as engines have been controlled by computers you’d think they would be pretty bomb proof by now. Guess not…
I have a 98 recon 250 and was wondering where can I purchase plastics from besides eBay for my yr.. and also from what yr to yr does the 250’s use the same plastic??
I am looking to put 26x9x14 and 26x11x14 on 14×7 Sti HD7 rims. Will this tire and rim combo work on my 2009 xp850? Any issues to be aware of? If any one has these rims or Bearclaw HTR tires wants to offer opinions welcome. Thank You! Steveĥ
