Plastic Rivets

OK Guys,

Need to get at the starter solenoid and starter of a 2007 Sportsman 500 EFI. Hands large enough that the rear clip is going to have to come off.

Have found Polaris plastic rivet and a tool to grab them on Amazon.

What do I need to know about removing old ones and installing new ones?

Thank you VERY much!

Mike

ECM Power Issue

Hey guys I am putting my bike back together after having the motor out to repair a snapped throughshaft. I am running into an electrical issue with the ECM. Basically what happens is when i turn the key on and the power switch on nothing happens. No fuel pump, no podlights…. Nothing.

I do have the shop service manual and it has some usefull information under the engine management section. I have followed it and found the following results.

Fuse 4-good
Fuse 7-good
Fuse 8- cannot find
Diode 1-good
Swaped relay 1 and 2 no change

The manual then states to check ecm connector B for 12vdc. I check pin 11 as it states is the positive power supply, i have no power at pin 11. Pin 1 is the ground and i ran a continuity test on pin 1 to ground, there is continuity so i believe my issues is with pin 11 the 12vdc power supply pin.

Also please note i cannot find fuse F8.

The only other fuses i can find are 2 x 30 amp fuses which are enclosed in a black case near the back of the bike which i believe are to be for the charging system.

Any advice would be appreciated as i really do not feel like opening my wireing harness and chasing wires.

Thanks
