Ive purchased a 2004 Sportsman 600 with 800miles. The machine is very clean, but I bought it with the suspected front diff cage problem. I will post on that if I run into problems, but there seems to be enough info on the net regarding the fix.
My questions is to do with the alternator output. Since I plan on running in during the winter, I would like to run heated grips. Also, I am looking at a 2-up seat/trunk. It also comes with an option to hook up handlebar warmers.
What is the output on my alternator? Do I need to be concerned about the extra electrical load? Is there an upgrade if I do decide to run both sets of hand warmers?

After a fresh rebuild and 400mi, its gone again. Now polaris doesnt have a clue and they even say that they only sold 192 cranks worldwide since they make them vs over 9000 for the 800.

I can't seam to find any answers to this problem.

04.5 Sportsman 500ho. Was starting to get hard to start last fall, pulled carb off to find it very clean. Problem did not change but got worse to the point it will not start now. It will pop out the carb and exhst and has strong spark, just seams that the timming is off.
The day it would not start, the power to everything started staying on and and the only way to shut the gauges, lights ect off is to unhook the battery.
I first looked at the ing switch and kill switch, same problem when both are unhooked. I have unhooked the control box with no change. The only thing that will kill power is pulling the power distrubtion tab out of the plug on the lt ft under cowl. I have pulled all the wire looms off looking for a shorted wire and found nothing.
Is it poss the stator could be shorted which would explaine why all this happened the way it did or am I overlooking something. I know about the recall on the control box, with that unpluged I still have power..

What I mean by have power is the gauge pod is fully lit with LCD, Tail lamp and brake lamp, starter button is always live. It acts like the ing switch is on all the time.

Please help if you have any imput before this thing turns into fire wood.. ]]> Polaris Sportsman Copperzuk http://www.polarisatvforums.com/forums/polaris-sportsman/7623-500ho-elec-power-short.html http://www.polarisatvforums.com/forums/2011/7622-2011-polaris-sportsman-800-efi.html Tue, 07 Sep 2010 21:27:01 GMT Image: http://www.polarisatvforums.com/gallery/data/500/medium/2011-Polaris-Sportsman800EFIa.jpg The 2011 Polaris Sportsman 800 EFI ATV is our...

It is with a heavy heart to inform you that the

Lost Trails ATV Park has been shut down
EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY.

My family and I want to thank each and everyone of you for your support over these past 3 years.
We hope that for the short while that we were open You all felt you had a great place to enjoy ATVing.

Without going into any details, it is the landowner (Pocono Manor Resort) who forced the shut down.
Everyone else, the township, state agencies, local property owners and many of the business'
wanted and welcomed us. (Contrary to newspaper reports) We have been fighting this battle for over a year and
the resort has deeper pockets than us to carry on the fight.

We are planning on relocating on a larger parcel of land just 25 minutes from our old site with plans to be
open for the 2011 season. The location has more trails and even "Paved parking lots".
We will keep our website posted about this in the near future.

In the meantime, for those of you who ride "Sports Quads and Dirt bikes" we are opening a Practice Motocross Track.
Opening day is August 13, 2010
Sorry, no utility quads or trikes.

For more information on the Motocross Track visit the website HeadQuarters Moto Facility

Again , we want to thank everyone and we hope you feel we provided you with a good place to call home for your ATVing fun.

From my whole family,
Leslie, Chris, Craig and Jocelyn,
thank you.

Please help us get the word out by posting this on other forums.
We don't want people to be traveling to the park and find the gates are closed.

New memeber here needing some input from the pro's...

My 2003 330 Magnum 4X4 has been giving me some issues lately.

I was pushing a buddy's quad down a long muddy road to get him out of the soup... I was doing fine but suddenly started backfiring and missing really bad.

The engine started running very rough, lights got dim and eventually the engine died. It was like the battery just went dead.. it had enough power to light the lights dimly but not enough to turn the engine over.

I was able to jump start it and get it to the house. I bought a new battery and put on it.. it ran fine for a day but then started doing the same thing again after another hard day.

Could it be overheating and not charging the battery?

Any other ideas on what's going on?

Thanks in advance for the help
