Third Light

Hey everyone I’m about to get all my stuff to together to build my bike up, its a 2015 sportsman 850 SP. Now I’ve never really thought about it till now when I’m about to start (go figure) what does everyone typically do about their third light on their bikes when they put the rad relocate and snorkels on since its basically useless at that point.

Just food for thought i guess.

2014 sportsman 90

Hello, new to the forum. my son has a 2014 sportsman 90 that i need to rebuild the upper engine on it ( has close to 2,000 est hrs on it) however I am having trouble finding a rebuild kit for the 2014. i can find all day long rebuild kits for the 2004,2005,2006 models but no cross referencing to see if it will work for the ’14. my next step is to check the much higher cost through the local polaris dealer where I purchased the atv from. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance. Joe

95 kodiak 400 hard shifting.

I’m having a problem shifting my kodiak with the foot shifter. Reverse works great. Just can’t shift the forward gears. It seems that the shifter is unable to go up or down in gears. With constantly moving the foot shifter up and down it will eventually shift. I was wondering if anyone had any insight on this or a way to fix this issue.

Few Questions

So i have a 2004 Polaris sportsman 700 twin

1. The bike only runs with the choke half way out and fully choked i can run the bike fine nothing wrong, my question is, does it have something to do with the new carb i just installed on it would I have to adjust the fuel adjuster on the bottom? the only way to adjust it is taking it out. (damn Polaris and the way they put the bikes together lol)

2. AWD doesn’t seem to engage I read the manual and it says it engages under 3100 RPM and i was under 3.1k and i was on sugar sand and it didn’t want to engage all that happened was the back tires kept spinning

any replies would be greatly appreciated 🙂

Shannon Campbell Wins King of the Hammers UTV Race

Polaris racers take top five spots

This year’s King of the Hammers (KOH) saw 75 side-by-sides, with most being Polaris RZRs, lining up for the toughest off-road race in the world. When the dust settled, RZRs would take the top five spots and seven of the top 10.

This year’s KOH was a family affair with newly signed Polaris Factory Racer Shannon Campbell taking “The Hammer,” and his son Wayland finishing second. Shannon’s daughter Bailey also raced going toe-to-toe with her father in the beginning of the race. She ended up finishing 15th. All three raced RZR XP Turbo EPS vehicles. Shannon dominated the race and finished almost 15 minutes ahead of Wayland.

“My RZR is one of the most incredible vehicles I’ve ever driven,” said Shannon Campbell. “It is much more-nimble on the KOH course than my Ultra 4 truck.”
