Looking at purchasing a new 2016 Sportsman XP 1000 EPS. I have never owned a Polaris product. Local Polaris/Arctic Cat Dealer is asking $8,900 for it. I read that the Sportsman has issues w/heat from the exhaust melting the plastic cab. Has this issue been resolved in 2016 or is it still a problem? Would appreciate hearing from owners of the 2016 Sportsman XP 1000 as to any other issues they have encountered.
In brand new condition, less than 1 mile, red, 4wd power steering foot shift model. Bought new in Nov. 2010, and ended up never needing it for anything. Always kept inside with a battery tender on it, and fuel drained and re-filled every year. Pics upon request. Located in N.E. Wyoming. Asking $4,800, but will consider reasonable offers.
I’ve got too many new in the box winches that I need to sell. Every time I saw a good deal on eBay, I couldn’t help myself. These are brand new, never installed. All prices are plus shipping. Will consider all reasonable offers. I don’t know how to post pics, but happy to e-mail or text pics.

Hey guys, I want your guys opinion, in buying an 850 sp 2016 model tomorrow and what’s your guys thoughts on it’s top speed and it’s power? How well does it ride? Anything I should look out for?
Hey guys, I’m more of an MX guy but I’ve been wanting an ATV so I acquired a non running 1996 Polaris Sportsman 4×4 with the 400 2-stroke. I got the thing so cheap I almost felt bad about it but they thought the motor was locked up. Turns out that was not the case. Just needs a lot of TLC. Just wanted to introduce myself. Is there anything I need to know about this model and any upgrades I should do? I do all my work myself so it won’t be seeing a shop. Thanks guys!
Hey all I’m new to this pulled a 04 sportsman 400 out of a barn and cleaned the carb, oichange, and got it running but then it wouldn’t turn off, took off the rack and opened it up and a rat got in there and ate all the wires, I got the kill switch, lights, winch back on but no 4×4 I found 2 sets chewed off that have reddish wire with white stripe and a grey wire I found a matching to this and it goes down to the right front wheel and now that side is working but is there not supposed to be one for the right? Are there more wires somewhere does anyone have a good diagram with color chart for this thank y’all
Question: does any one ever retrofit a hand starter? I see it is available on ATVs in Canada yet it is optional on recent Foremans here in USA. I am curious, has any forum member added a pull starter to their ATV?
The Honda manual makes a blunt statement, one can ride farther in an hour than most people can walk in a day. Frankly here in Arizona that is certainly true.
Id like to hear from riders who have made this retrofit and if they have ever been 🙁 stranded 😡 when a pull start may have helped. Thank you in advance.
but alsost right away it is hunting for a idel spot. put a timing light on it and the timing is walking then it back fires and go back to where it was starts walking again. this process takes only a few seconds and does it again.
things i have done so far
set valves
set timing chain
rebuilt carb
checked and replaced springs on CDI
set base timing.
now i will admit i am not the best person for carbs. (I like my fuel injection better lol) but I think it is pretty dam close to where it should be be it is still hunting.
what causing this to happen and what do i need to do to stop it.
