Hi guys. I have a 2000 sportsman 500. I have been trying to get rid of the clunk in the rear end when I turn left. I have replaced both rear cv axles and changed the fluid while I was there. No major metal on the magnet. All the bushings look good and i greased everything. The noise is even worse now after I did all that! I used polaris brand fluid. The noise only appears when making a slow speed turn left in 2wd mode. Haven’t tried it in 4×4 because it sounds so bad I just parked it. The noise stops if I turn hard right and doesn’t happen at all going straight. I had the wife drive it in a slow circle and put my hand on the rear case. It seems to be coming from inside there. Any ideas? Google hasn’t been very helpful on this specific issue. Thank you!!
what a pain in the —
got my new nrg quick disconnect steering wheel mount and a momo quirk steering wheel
when I went to install I took the retaining nut off and my steering wheel would not come off ,so I got my manuel and it says to remove the steering shaft assy. from the eps units so you don’t damage the eps says to install the nut 1/2 way and pound on it to loosen the steering wheel well after smacking it a few time with a 5 lb slege it still wouldn’t budge. and not wanting to mess up my steering shaft I finely had to cut my old wheel off
I cut a section of the rubber off to get access to the steel collar that goes onto the shaft then cut that to just above the shaft and took a cold chisel and split the collar then still had to use a brass punch to knock the shaft off the wheel what should have taken a couple minutes to remove ended up taking a couple hours but finally got everything done lucky I didn’t have a ride for the afternoon planned:sad:

2015 Rubicon 500 Deluxe (Black) – First Impressions
Just picked up a new 2015 500 Rubicon Deluxe (Black) Friday afternoon which is my first quad ever. I have had dirt bikes and motorcycles all my life, but never even sat on an ATV. I also picked up a new 2015 420 Foreman for my teenage son with both models having EPS, DCT and IRS.
After two mornings of riding and 50 KM under our belts, all I can say is how much fun the bikes are and how forgiving they are. The first morning was on some flat trails in the nearby woods to get a feel for the bikes. This morning, we ventured a little further and took in some muddy and water-soaked trails across some local farmland.
Common sense goes a very long way in making it back home safe and sound, but the technology in the bikes is amazing. We both have been using DCT auto shifting (ESP) and are quite happy. There have been some of the clunky shifts under power that I’ve read about, but nothing to surprise either of us and we hardly notice anymore after two days. The dealer told us Friday that we should see a lot of ESP improvement after a little break-in and the first oil change. Either way, I’m really happy with the auto shifting allowing us to focus on riding and getting a feel for the bikes.
The IRS suspension is unbelieveable. I have nothing to compare against, but the ride with the IRS and EPS is so compliant. We have very rocky and tree root strewn trails with lots of wet mud and have had no issues in tracking on a straight line. The only complaint my son had was that the 420 seat is a lot firmer than on my Rubicon and I have to agree. It’s too bad Honda didn’t make the 2" foam additon across the board, but hey, he’s young and can handle it. :laugh:
As for power, the 420 keeps up perfectly with the 500. We have maxxed out at 60 km/h just because we aren’t really used to the physics of how the bikes handle under different situations. No issues with takeoff power for either bike and the "under powered" Honda engines have all the power we need for riding the trails we have available.
The dealer was too busy with sales/service on our first long weekend holiday so we did not get our winches or AMS Slingshot tires installed yet. I made a mistake about 15 minutes into my first ride of trying to ride across a 10 foot "swamp" and brought up solid. I tried diffloc and rocking the bike, but no luck. Luckily, we had a tow rope and my son was finally able to get me out after about an hour and after putting a lot of fallen tree trunks under the tires. :icon_ cry:
Overall, I am so pleased with the ride, quality and finish of both bikes. I would have liked more storage for some additional tools and gear, but simply strapped a waterproof sports bag to my rear rack. I have owned Honda motorcycles and cars and take Honda quality and reliability as givens. Can’t wait to get the tires and winches installed so we can go have some messy fun.
Thanks again to all forum members who responded to my posts and other user posts about the same models.

Hello from NW Ontario.
I live in Alberta, but spend summers, in beautiful NW Ontario.
Bought my first quad, a used 2006 Sportsman 700.
Brought it with me to Ontario for the summer.

Busted front diff!
I have a 2012 900 XP with a low boost turbo. I just put 30" Outback Max tires on it and the first bog I hit, snapped the pinion snout right off the diff! Is this common?
My question is what the heck to do? I’m leaning toward the billet housing, should be cheaper as a lot of my internals are still good. I have read about a 1000 diff swap but also read it was a huge job. Plus the 1000 diffs are not cheap! Do the billet 900 housings work good? Thanks, Dan

Backfire!
Ok guys and gals I know we have talked about this numerous times. My 14 has always done it since new. Mostly when going down hill and engine breaking kicks in. I have Alba fuel controller didn’t help. Changed spark plug brands didn’t help. Thought well as the weather gets warmer it will stop. I just hate driving thru the woods with a group and people always asking what’s wrong why you backfire. Then younsay the same answer polaris says. It’s normal it’s how Polaris engineered it. I say bullcrap! What all sparkplugs you using. I am thinking of going back to crappy stock champion plug.

92 Trail Boss 250 4×4 Fuel and Oil *Newb Alert*
First time 2 stroke owner. Haven’t had a quad in 12 years. Purchased this two days ago on a whim after seeing it for sale on the side of the road. It really nice shape. Sorted some carb issues with a good cleaning.
- Do you have to mix anything with gas? (Didn’t think you did, but saw another forum post where someone mentioned 32:1 so was confused)
- The Oil tank has been at the same level (topped right off) for about 20-30 minutes of run time so far. Didn’t know how quickly it would be used.
- Engine seems to be making a loud metal on metal noise, though it seems as though it’s running fine, and has good power (I’m 345 lbs and it rips up dirt big time with me on it). Is this normal?
- Starter just clicks with what seems like a good (neighbor gave to me) battery. Should I run jumpers from my car to make sure and would this be starter or a solenoid that needs replacing?
This is my first list of need to knows. But if someone wanted to share how the heck you get at the spark plug, I’d like to stop scratching my head over that one.
