I am trying to figure out how to set up an LED light bar on my 2001 Traxter and activate it when I press the hi-intensity switch on the handlebar. Since the headlamps on my unit become brighter simply by sending higher current to the headlamps, I don’t think it as simple as tying into the wires leading to the lamps. I know that I can install a separate switch, and may end up doing that, but I already seem to have too many switches as it is…winch, grip heaters, etc. However, I have learned the later models (2005 and others) have an auxiliary light on the front of the handlebar pod. As I understand, this light is only activated when the high intensity button is depressed. This is nearly the same setup that I’d like to achieve with the LED bar mounted on my front bumper extension. Can anyone help me understand how this factory auxiliary light is wired? I suspect I can copy that setup. A wiring diagram would be great!

My 2009 sportsman 800 needs a t bap wire harness. Other than that i thought i should replace the plug(s) 2 i think and spark plug wire, clean out the throttle body and replace the fuel filter (does it have one) i never seen it. What else do i need for a tune up.
Thx Jack

Last year I purchased a 2015 Polaris 570. It does not have an engine braking system. I’m very satisfied with the machine. I recently purchased a 2016 Polaris 570 that comes with the EBS Engine Braking System. My first ride was a 42 mile loop in an Idaho mountain area. I was very disappointed with the braking system. It locked the wheels on the downhills. I am 66 years old and have ridden motorcycles and ATV’s my entire life. I raced moto-cross in my younger years. I would consider the Engine Braking System on the 570’s to be dangerous for someone with limited ATV experience. I have returned the 570 to the dealer, and am waiting a reply from the factory. Hopefully, something can be done to disable the EBS.

Due to having major back surgery a few years ago i had to sell my 2004 sportsman 500 ho so now im trying to get back into wheeling again with a 2016 570 .. i enjoy trail riding ether solo or with others. ill see how winter goes and the ice conditions but in any case im planning on using it for ice fishing.:Thinkingof_:

Hello recently found a nice big red just like i grew up on except that one ran, when I test the new solenoid with test light on either wire, neutral light comes on but will not come on without that connection made.

It turns over great .blue spark.put gas in cylinder valve cover open everything moving that’s suppose to.has compression no start

Trying to get my old 200SX running again. Ran a few years back and then wouldn’t start. Just disassembled and cleaned the carb. Poked all the holes out with welding tip cleaners and blew out with air. Reassembled and it won’t start. I am getting gas, as it overflows out the drain tube. Tried starter fluid and it will start on that, but doesn’t seem to be getting gas in the cylinder.

Took carb back apart and recleaned the seat and needle. Also carb cleaner in all the nooks n crannies again. Back on and still same.

3rd times got to be the charm.. nope still overflows. Spark plug is dry, gas overflows and drains out bottom.

Carb is currently apart again. I blow in the gas inlet hose and is clear, raise up on the float and valve works as it should. I can’t seem to find the problem between gas in carb and gas getting in the cylinder to go boom! If the float valve isn’t seating and allowing the overflow, wouldn’t it still have gas to start? Any help appreciated.

Anyone make an aftermarket lever?
Something a little less, well, polaris-esque?
Looking for something like this:

Not necessarily this color but something with a little more appeal?

I Was washing my 570 and on the cvt cover towards the front top side looked like it was gaped a little more than the rest of it. Anyone noticed this
