Hello Polaris people!
Total ATV newb here, just picked up a 2004.5 Sportsman 500 HO in blue. Has 3800 miles and 433 hours. Dealer recently rebuilt the carburetor, replaced the clutch and replaced inner CV boots. Came with a winch and Moose plow less than a year old, and has a brush guard. It was adult owned and BABIED, and it shows.
Only thing it needs is a rear brake master cylinder as, according to the PO, it leaked and drained the fluid and the aux rear brake is now inoperable. I will be looking around here for tips on replacement of that.
I'll be using it to plow my driveway and tug a utility cart around my property from time to time. I'm not really a big ATV rider extraordinaire, but my brother recently got a 2006 Sportsman EFI and encouraged me to pick one up. It runs good and I'm hoping to get many years of utility out of it. Only thing I want to do right now (besides the master cylinder) is a cargo carrier of some kind for the back.
So far this forum has been very helpful and informative for me in making this purchase decision!
