Ignition upgrade on '07 700 Sportsman

[SnowDrift]

Hi there. I'm new to the forum today, as this is the first I knew this site existed, but it's good to see an exclusive Polaris forum.

I'm in need of information for the ignition upgrade for my '02. I bought the whole kit with stator, coil, CDI, etc. to replace the OEM system. There are three jumper wires that are talked about at the end of the instructions and I'm unclear on how they hook up. I understand that all of them may not be used, but can anyone tell me, specifically, which ones are to be omitted on my model?

I contacted Polaris and they wouldn't help me and told me to call the dealer, so they could contact Polaris technical support. I did that and was told they wouldn't call tech. support on my behalf, so it looks like I'm on my own.

The system is installed except these jumpers and it won't start, so I assume I have something not yet hooked up correctly.

is the kit an aftermarket kit or was it made by polaris?

It was made by Polaris and was, apparently, used on several models to correct the poor stator and coil quality on early units. I guess, if someone has a manual for a newer model with the separate coil/CDI, it could be back-tracked from there.

have you tired contacting a different dealer about this? the dealers have a nifty little fuction called "ask polaris" where they submit their questions and polaris answers them within 4 hours typically. i have done this a coutless amount of times, its doesnt take much time to type it up. kinda crap the dealer wont help you. i would try another dealer to see if they will. a dealer focused on customer service will help you...

do you have a PN for this kit?

Edit to title - this is for an '02 model, not an '07

I tried the dealer I purchased the kit from and they wouldn't help. I tried another, but felt bad about it since I didn't buy the kit from them, so I didn't really press the issue. I may try another to see if I get a response. Thanks for the tip.

Looking at the photos, you can see the wire that seems to have no home.

Kit # 2202602

What is the dealership you use to get that type of turn-around? I've been waiting two days for the one I called to get back to me. Snow storm supposed to come through this weekend and it would be nice if I'm not spending the whole weekend with a shovel in my hand.

it was the dealership i work at during the summer....did you get a copy of the installation guide?

[SnowDrift]

Yes, I did get a hard copy of the installation instructions and it went pretty smooth until the last page. Basically, I have everything like the photo shows, except I have no home for the red wire you see in my photos I've uploaded. I think I only need to supply 12v to it, but would think there should be a lead somewhere to hook to without having to supply my own jumper with ends, right?

[blueline15]

should be. now that you supplied the PN# kit i am able to see those instructions on a PDF file on my computer, so i was trying to figure out where you were at. let me look over them again, and ill get back to you : )
