Is that the way this site works?

Hello All,

Newly registered to the site but have been searching around for awhile now.

I have an 2004.5 Polaris Sportsman (not the square nose, but the 2005-2008 model) 700 EFI Hunter Edition with the original Polaris tires, 26x8X12(front) and 26X11X12(rear) and I’m in the market for a new set of tires due to blowing the side wall out of the front left on a rough trail ride a few weekends ago. I decided on the Kenda Bearclaw HTR but cannot decide on what size. I hear some mixed reviews on what size fits and what size doesn’t so I figured Id ask the question in hopes of a good response.

I use the machine very seldom but when I do I run a 52" Glacier Plow for my driveway, use it to get to my deer stands and haul deer, the occasional trail and fields ride(can get pretty rough with rocks, sharp rocks, loose dirt, snow and creeks.

Ive been reading a lot about the newer machines being able to handle the 26X9X12 tire but I am not sure about my older 2004.5 machine. Looks like it may rub the tie rod. BUT i’ve also read that the Bearclaw HTRs 26X9 are really a 26X8.5 at 5psi. I don’t want to run spacers and I know i can run ITP Delta Steels 4+3.0 offset, but I’d like to keep the original camo wheels if I could fit the 26X9X12 Kenda Bearclaw HTRs fronts. Sounds like the Rears fit no problem.

What do you all think?

Hello there!

i’m currently doing a big maintenance work on my 2009 Grizzly 700, it has about 6500 km (~4000 miles) on it.

I looked around and could not find any info about oil pump chain life expectancy neither water pump seal/impeller life..

Any one of you guys got a clue? I do not have any current issues with my ATV except wear and tear (replacing all 4 engine mounts, a busted steering knucled, adjusted valves, checked timing chain tension, will check compression, and will install HMF Titan QS exhaust and fuel optimizer)

The ATV is kind of halfway stripped, i do not wish to spend more and spend more time tearing in, but hey.. i’m almost there. Should i replace it or should i expect at least another year or two of trouble free regarding those two items?!

Thanks!

Hi all,

I’m a New Zealander living in southwest Missouri on a grazing dairy farm of 500 cows. Have been in the US 4 years and now call it home with a wide and son

Run two 420 ranchers and a CRF150F to get around the farm and am looking to do more repairs and maintenance myself to save some money.

Hoping to find some helpful advice on here

I picked up a trailblazer that sparks, has good compression, and supposedly original tires (a little dry rotted), but for $200, I thought I wouldn’t be out much. The ATV set for a few years, and there was a LOT of varnish in the carb. We’re cleaning that, and then I wondered if I needed to clean the inside of the engine. I’ve not messed with a 2-stroke before, and I know I don’t want to pull the engine. Also, I was going to disable the oil pump and mix the oil directly with the gas, so should I just plug the hose from the oil pump? Finally, the clutch cover was not screwed on, and the clutch is a little rusted. It pushes in about 3/16". What exactly is the best way to clean this up?

My kids use the 07 800X2 in two wheel so I don’t know how long it’s been out I can move the switch position to 2×4, turf or AWD but it just stays in 2×4, I
hope it’s a electrical problem. Does anyone have a link for wiring diagram or has anyone had a similar problem with their Polaris 800.

Sorry for the post, to be clear I drove the 800 into a marsh and tried backing out, rear tires would spin, front done nothing. After reading some post I think you have to press a button on the headlight pod to have AWD in reverse or something like that, is this the way it works? Guess I need to drive this thing sometimes and stay off the side by side, it’s tough being old.

just got a call on the phone from 1-800 number. said that a windows key did not work anymore and there will be problems, to call some other number. gimme a break…. i only had one xp key that quit, after switching HD from one desk top unit to another, or changing motherboards back an forth. you find the key problem out on your PC, not some phone call. scammers are everywhere. like ticks an mosquito’s.
