I’m sure this has been covered before and apologize if it’s a repeated thread. I’ve recently became the owner of a 2014 Outlander 500 xt that belonged to my brother who lost the battle to cancer. I for the life of me cannot locate the factory tool kit. I’ve looked everywhere on the machine that it could be and nothing. I don’t even see a place where it would have been stored, knowing my brother he likes to tinker with thing so it’s possible he removed it but I feel that is something he would have left on the machine. I don’t need the kit as I pack "better" tools to take with me when riding but would like to have all of the original pieces that came with the machine, more of a sentimental thing than a need for those tools.
Another question – what lines are ran up under the gauge cluster? I’ve been able to trace most of them but am not 100% sure of what they all are and any other I need to look for. His version of maintenance was what ever alert popped up on the gauge. I’m going over everything on the machine now checking everything to make sure it’s all in good working order. This machine was his pride and joy and it means a lot to me to have it and while I want to keep everything as he had it, what I don’t want to do it be out on the trail and blow something up.
This isn’t going to become a big mud/water machine as I have others for that but you never know what the trails bring. So far here in Alaska I’ve come across water crossings and some mud holes. Having the differential vents already up high is a plus, just wondering what other lines I have to look for.
Do they come stock with K&N air filters? This one currently has a K & N.

I am having a problem with my 2004.5 Sportsman 500 that I can’t seem to correct. After the bike gets warmed up, the "HOT ENGINE" warning will intermittently flash on the speedometer. There is no evidence that the bike is overheating – sometimes the fan will kick in while the display is flashing "HOT ENGINE" and other times it won’t. At this point, unplugging the thermistor will always trigger the fan to turn on. The thermistor resistance is always well above where it should be for the hot engine. Thermostat has been changed, ECM has been changed, water pump impeller has been checked, thermistor has been checked in a pot of water, air has been bled from rad. Wiring harnesses have been inspected from speedometer,ecm,thermistor,fan. The only other thing is that this began happening after the fan was replaced with an aftermarket unit. Is it possible that the fan is not compatible with the ECM? I know unplugging the fan motor also causes the light to come on. Any help would be appreciated
Having carb issues with my 400x. Anywhere from 0 to 1/4 throttle it pops and sputters and when going to straight to wide open throttle it has a little bit of bog. Running Hmf largest main jet and a bigger pilot jet. Guessing my problem is something to do with the Jets

good evening to everyone, I would like to postpone worries encounter on my Polaris 570 EPS tonight while he slept in the garage for a week, I wanted to restart the surprise and completely empty the battery. I ve reloaded the battery for three hours and luckily it restarts. i’ve removed the key, last run was a 7,34 km run without mud or water.. and my quad is stored in a garage without moisture. I wonder from where the problem can it come?
In your opinion? Thank you for your help. The quad is new (July 2016) and less than 400 kms.
While chasing my hard to start problems, it was recommended I clean the carb. I have done this previously when I installed a carb kit about 3 years ago. After cleaning the carb this morning, I went to assemble, only to find the bowl gasket or "o-ring" wouldn’t fit properly as it is now too big. It also appears the o-ring on the idle jet is soft and deteriorating also. I don’t run ethanol either. You guys ever heard of anything like that?
Not sure what brand of kit I used on rebuild, but I know I bought it at Honda shop. but maybe the rubber isnt quite right and stretched if I got some carb cleaner on it. No Chem-tool, just spray carb cleaner.
