    I am being offered the opportunity to purchase a 1998 Polaris Xplorer 400 4x4. The asking price is $1,000. I’ve only ever owned one ATV in my life and it was a Honda so I know very little, if anything, about Polaris products and pricing. It has new chain(s), a new CVT belt, new battery, the...

    Looking to swap engines, here’s a little introduction. Picked up a flawless condition 1989 Sportsman 400. Got it knowing the little 2 stroke was hurting, and before I got a chance to rebuild it the skirt of the piston wore thin, it peeled off then fell down between the crank and the case...

    The oil change issue has me confused. I know about the 10w/30 counter balance and AGL transmission oils, but everyone says the front crankcase has no oil. Even Polaris mechanics with decades of experience. Then why is there a crankcase drain plug right next to the counter balance drain plug? And...

    Hello Guys - I friend just gave me a 1996 Scrambler 400 4X4 that won't start. He said it was running a month ago, but died while his son was riding it. When we press the start button, the starter solenoid just makes a single "click" sound. We cleaned (wire brushed) all the battery/selenoid...
