Hey there new here to this forum. Just picked up a new fall project it’s a 2000 sportsman 500 that needs lots of love. I have always had Yamaha’s so this is my first Polaris but I wanted a big bore ATV and fell into a great deal on this sportsman.

Had some front end damage to my Yamaha grizzly recently so I ordered all the parts online to repair it myself. Just having trouble putting on the plastic grill on the front that goes around the headlights and covers the radiator. Didn’t know if anyone could help guide me through putting it on! Or if there were any videos or walk throughs anywhere. Thank you!

I have an 09 Grizzly 700 camo with EPS. I bought it roughly 4 years ago from someone else. For the most part has ran great however sometimes it randomly dies when I take off at a slow pace, like just barely push the throttle. Sometimes it won’t start back up right away either. It also makes a strange whining noise after it is at running temperature and I stop and turn it off. The noise sounds like its coming from around the gas tank area but it’s hard to tell. I bought a new spark plug and a new fuel filter, just haven’t had time to install them. Does anyone have any experience with similar issues or have any ideas what else it could maybe be? I will update once I get the new plug and pump on but it might be a little bit before I can fully test it. Also, just FYI I have ~265 hours and 1,950 miles on the Grizz. Thank in advance.

Bougt a 2016 850xp and looking for cheap full coverage insurance. Thanks.

Ya. As it says above. Just picked it up sat. I’m from Newport Michigan. Would post a pic. Off my phone but I don’t know how.

Hi,

I’m Rob and I’m from Holland.
At the moment I’m driving an Outlander max 1000 LTD.
This is my 5th quad.
I started with a Barossa Skywalker (that’s why my nickname is Skywalker) following by 2 Raptor’s 700 and the last one was a CFMoto X800.

If you have any additional questions please let me know!

Best Regards,
Rob

Anyone with the barkers duals on a 2016 compare to how loud it is vs a 2r tip? I’m curious and it’s hard to judge how loud exhaust are on YouTube videos

A few months ago the starter stopped working again. I don’t ride it very much so I let it go and kicked started it. I have replaced the brushes several times so I finally got a new set and replaced them. Put the starter back on and it just spins but doesn’t turn the engine. It sounds just like an auto starter with a defective Bendix. I disassembled the gears from the starter and found that the large ring gear inside free wheels in the direction the starter turns it. It will not turn in the opposite direction. It first glance, it looks like the starter is turning in the wrong direction but don’t think that is possible. Does the ring gear have dogs that pop out to start then retract after starting? It was working fine when the starter quit. Thanks.

I have a 2001 trx350tm that I bought from a buddy, it doesn’t have spark. So far I’ve had to jump the neutral safety switch to ground so I could motor it over with the starter. I have all the plastics off the ATV; I’ve checked all the wires for continuity using a schematic I don’t have a peak voltage tester like the service manual calls for. I’ve checked all the CDI wires off the CDI and connected to the CDI with the key on. This is what I’ve gotten:
Plug disconnected from CDI
Bl/G (IGNITION FUSE) 12V. when connected to CDI 12v
LIGHT BLUE (THERMOSTAT) .31V. when connected to CDI 4.53v
Bl/Y (COIL POSITIVE) 0V. when connected to CDI 4.82v
Blue/Yellow (trigger) .72 v .320 OHMS. when connected to CDI .6v (when turning over)
G/W (ground) continuity good to negative on battery
Blue/R (oil light) 12v .87 when light is on 12v when light goes out
Bl/W (bat3) 12v. when connected to CDI 12v
Light Green/ R (ground for neutral) I physically grounded this wire to battery ground on frame. (the neutral safety switch is not working)
The coil is .4 OHMS testing positive to negative and 8500 ohms from negative to lug wire
The stator has .5 OHMS between all of the yellow wires and no continuity to ground but I can’t get any voltage measurement. (I checked by placing the negative on the multimeter to battery ground and checking each yellow wire while motoring). Am I supposed to be getting something out of the stator? Where do I take the reading? The service manual doesn’t show you. The stator doesn’t look burn or damaged the magnet for the trigger is still on the outside of the flywheel.
The R/R has also tested good all the diodes were around the same number placing positive on negative and vice versa.

Just replaced the timing chains on my 07. 650 outlander wondering how to do the timing? Do I time the rear cylinder first then rotate 280 degrees counterclockwise how do I get the 280 degrees? Thanks
