2002 Sportsman 500 AWD not working
I’m new to Polaris machines. I inherited a very worn out 500 sportsman that had a Hilliard clutch come apart in the lf hud busting it up. I replaced the Clutch and armature plate and put it all back together and the AWD worked. On the first test ride i noticed moisture in the speedo and shortly after that it started acting up. (Needle jumping all over the place and not indicating the correct speed) At this time the AWD quit working. The indicator light works. The brn/wht wires going to the coils have had an extra ground wire added and I have full battery voltage on the grey wire at the upper connection. I’m very frustrated and need help from you experienced guys that have had this battle. I would not like to spend 300+ dollars on a new speedo so if there is a way of bypassing it please help. My speedo has a 6 pin connector.
Thanbks, Glen

RZR 170 added to my toy collection
I picked up a 2009 170 with the vent racing intake, 26mm carb, 180 big bore kit, and I don’t know if it has an upgraded head or not (I’m not sure how to tell). The engine is fairly fresh with just a few runs on it, but the tuning was horribly wrong. Not a little, but waaaay off. I’m in the process right now of getting the carb setup correctly so we can see what this little machine can do!
I’m hoping it will last my daughter 2-3 years, so we can then upgrade her to something like a 570 side-by-side (she’ll never use the 800/900/1000 power).
Me, I’ll keep with my dirt bikes, and we’ll see how my son grows, but for now, he’s sticking to dirt bikes too.
If anyone in Colorado wants to meet up and you have one of these little 170’s, let me know!
