I recenly bought a 1997 Polaris Sportsman 500 not running. I try to make it turn with the electric starter with a full charge batterie, but went it turn over the motor stop turning after 2 stroke. I remove the sparkplug and I put my compression tester and first stroke 30 pounds and second stroke 60 pound and then it seem that the compress air wont release. I need to release the air to make it turn again. Do you think that I have a valve or valves stuck?:th_smiliepullhair:
09 Big Bear speedo problem
I sure hope someone can help me out here. I recently purchased my first atv. The 09 Big Bear IRS seems to be a great machine and I’ve already been enjoying it.
When I got it the speedometer/odometer wasn’t working and the reverse light blinks after I get it up to speed (if I just putt along it doesn’t come one), so I looked into it and found that this is a common problem. I checked the end that screws into the back of the speedometer and it was loose. I tried reconnecting it but it still didn’t work. At this point I figured it was the cable so I ordered a new cable and installed it but still no speedometer or odometer.
I’m not sure where to go from here. Does anyone have any ideas on what I should check next?
Aurora LED whip Animators, NEW, Customized
We realize at times it can be hard to tell the difference from one LED whip to another, but the Aurora is truly in a class of it’s own. The Aurora has been engineered and designed for use in all environments, and all of the electroncis are environmentally sealed and protected from the elements. If you’re an off-roader that likes to play in mud, sand, water, dirt, snow, etc… None of that will affect the whips longevity or performance. And like all of our other LED whips, we offer our quick connect/disconnect mount to allow for easy installation and removal.
But all of that aside, for the first time ever, you can create an Animator that includes the color(s), color combinations, and select from the available animations to personalize your setup.
Every day we’re expanding our catalog of colors, color combinations and animations to provide you with new and fresh options.
To order a custom Animator, contact us by phone, please no PM’s or emails.
Ph: 702-943-0784
Aurora Animators will NOT work with other multi color whips.

Rear brake-adjust or replace?
Welcome to the forum. Please don’t post the same question in multiple forums. Tends to clutter up the board.
The cable is adjustable by tightening up the wing nuts on the rear brake cam. Try that and if it doesn’t help you’ve probably got water in your drum which will keep the rear brakes from working well.
Only way to fix is to take it apart, clean out well, replace all the seals, and all of that will be a temporary fix if you ride in water at all.
Rear brake help-adjust or replace
I’ve recently noticed a lot more travel distance in my rear brake handle in comparison to my front. Have to admit I didn’t think to check effectiveness of foot pedal until now. Do I just need to adjust the cable or should I consider pulling apart the drum? 2007 Honda Rancher trx420fe

2013 Grizz 450 Synthetic Engine Oil?
Read in the manual recommended engine oil is "Yamalube" 10W-40…….
Yamalube does not make a synthetic 10W-40 oil……they only have "mineral" oil in the 10W-40…..
Question is, I prefer to run synthetic oil in all my toys, I plan to keep them for a really long time……Can someone recommend a proper synthetic oil for me to use?
Which clutch do I need? 2002 Sportsman 500
Just picked up a 2002 Sportsman 500 for cheap due to the fact that the previous owner says it needs a new clutch. Found some new clutches online before I bought it and decided it was worth buying and fixing. Got it home and the clutch is indeed cracked, likely due to corrosion. Only problem I’ve got now is buying the correct clutch.
Went to the Polaris site and found part number 1321976 (replaced part 1321632) and part number 1321706, the latter of which is listed as a "wide" clutch.
How do I tell which clutch I need?
