blade length???

For those of you with snowplows. What size blades are you using? I am tryin to decide which to go with. 54” or 60” A lil concerned about front end squat. Was planning on a 60” at first. But not sure how well the stock front shocks will handle the heavier 60” versus the 54”. This is on the 570 Renegade. Any input would be great. Thanks

850xp Battery Issues

So I have a 2009 850xp w/EPS that I bought about 2 months ago. It has less than 300 miles on it and is in excellent condition but I have had a problem with the battery losing charge. I should mention that the battery was replaced at a polaris dealership right before I bought the machine.

So far from what I can tell the charging system is working, I have 14.4 volts across the batter when the machine is running. I also let the machine sit for 7 days and checked the voltage daily and the lowest the battery got was 12.65.

The issue seems to occur when using the lights or other accessories like a sprayer that connect to the battery with alligator clips. After night riding or using something like the sprayer when I go to start it the next day it doesn’t have enough juice. Unfortunately I have not put a meter on the battery at these times to see how low it actually is, I just throw my trickle charger on it and 10 minutes later it fires right up.

I should probably also mention that shortly after buying this bike I installed an LED light bar on it but I really don’t think that could be the issue since I used one of the existing accessory wires that only have power when the key is on.

Any ideas???

Swingarm boot

Hello all,
I am looking for a front swingarm boot for a 1986 honda fourtrax 350. I have contacted honda and they no longer make them. And the only used one I can find isn’t much better than mine was.
Does anyone know where I can possibly find one. Thanks in advance.

Brakes hear air?

Hi, new to the site, just bought a polaris wheeler a few months back. Nice machine, 2012 sportsmen 500HO.

I’m currently having an issue with the brakes. I only have brakes when i press the lever and the foot pedal at the same time.

If I just push the lever in or just push the foot pedal in it does not do anything at all.

If i push in the lever I hear this hissing sound. I can’t really find where its coming from, sounds like its in the middle of the bike at the bottom. I tried several times. I just replaced the rear brake master cylinder because i though that was the problem. Its not, any ideas would be appreciated.

02 Rubicon fan not working

Rewired an 02 Rubicon a while back. It’s an 02 and bought a used supposedly 01-04 harness that seemed to work fine, except the fan doesn’t work.

Coolant sensor on the back of the head looks screwy, so I grounded the wire, temp light comes on, but no fan.

Ran + and – directly to fan motor. Fan comes on, spins fine.

Now I’m stumped so I pull front fender and look at connection. Green from wiring harness is backwards from green on fan connection.

I reversed the wires, still nothing when I ground sensor wire (temp light still comes on).

So I go to checking and if I run + to fan motor it comes on. Apparently it is getting constant ground and NOT constant + like I thought it was supposed to.

Did the fan system change from year to year? Was it always a "sensor grounds system which turns fan on" system?

I’m stumped. I know I can run a toggle and make it work but I’d rather have it right.

There any other sensors in this circuit?

What is this?

Ok, I know some of you may laugh, but I just got this ’06 Sportsman 500 HO and cannot determine what these two rocker switches are for. The owners manual does not depict them. Can some one please let me know what they are and do. Thanks

At My Wits End

Could really use any help! I have a 2005 Polaris 500 Predator that is leaking oil out of the vent hose on the oil tank. The hose runs out of the tank and is capped with a filter via hose clamp (pic 1 and 2). there is an unbelievable amount of oil coming from here. I heard that hose goes to the air filter box, but I have a hose coming out of the back of the engine vertically (the thick hose in pic 3) that goes into that port. I also have a small elbowed pipe coming out of the back of the clutch case (pic 4) with nothing on it. Im at my last straw with this bike, and really need answers. Thank you all.
