New Polaris Owner

I just bought a 2004 Sportsman 400. It has plenty of miles on it (7500) but the price was right - $1000. The seemed to maintain his stuff pretty well but the son really did a number on the plastic. I plan to clean it up a good bit.

The laundry list of things to fix starts with these
-rear wheel bearings
-rear cv shaft - wobbles where it slides into the diff - hopefully it is just worn splines and not the diff.
-key switch will not turn the ATV off - use kill switch instead


So far I have found a bunch of great info on the site.
