    I just swapped my starter on my 250cc Polaris trailblazer it was working amazing yesterday now suddenly it's making this crank noise then a hum noise, almost like it's not engaging. My battery may be dead cause it seems my head and taillight are dimming/turning off while the start button is...

    I have an issue with the battery not charging. I have replaced the ECM, the battery, the starter, the stator and the solenoid. I'm so frustrated with this 4 wheeler. What else can I do? I'm just sinking money into something I can't use on the farm. Even when I put the brand new battery on it...

    Hello everyone. I’m new to this forum and thanks for any help in advance. My 2006 sportsman 450 battery will not stay charged. There are also other little “gremlins”. Sometimes when I hit the throttle, the engine dies (when cold). The taillights will turn on and off when I hit throttle. I...

    Hey all. My 2014 sportsman 570 all of a sudden won't start. New battery was installed a couple weeks ago and machine was used a couple times for hunting since then with no issues. Went to start it today and immediately after turning the key to the accessory position all I get is a glitch dash...

    My 2021 Ranger 570i sits sometimes weeks at a time between uses, then maybe gets several days of use… This past winter, while we had a relatively colder winter than usual (the time of year this thing would normally get the most use (hunting seasons), it stayed parked due to a shattered heel...

    I have a 2023 Polaris Sportsman 850. I live in a subdivision, but I do periodically start it up and take it for a ten minute ride to get the juices flowing. I take it out to the trails a few times a year. The majority of the time it is stored in my garage. My question is related to using a...

  8. ATV Repair and Maintenance
    This is about a 2018 Sportsman 570, bought brand new with no issues until now. I won't bury the lead here. I plowed the driveway and then ripped around in the snow afterward, everything ran fine. It was packed with snow underneath, and I do not have a heated garage so it did not melt off over...

    Does anyone know if a Polaris sportsman 500 EFI would need at least 12.5 volts to run properly? I have read before that EFI models need at least 12.5v to start, but does it need at least 12.5 volts to run properly? I can get my Atv started with a booster, but then it stalls right after. I also...

I ran my atv to plow my driveway today and 20 minutes later the battery was completely drained of juice and the winch no longer responded. I plow for a living with this ATV. Has anyone ran into...

    I recently bought a used 1998 Sportsman 500 4x4 and it only had 1,500 miles on it. Ran beautifully until today. I installed a winch on it yesterday and ran it for a while. Today, I went to start it and everything was normal. Rode around for a little bit and it shut off. I went to start it and it...

I have had a 2010 Sportsman 550 for a couple years now and had my first major problem. seems the screw on the negative on the battery wore loose didn't tighten down real snug when my son and I re installed it this spring.

    So with a rad relocate and snorkles, I cant get to my battery at all. Cant lift the hood without disconnecting snorkels and rad. I want to relocate it down where the rad originally was. Anyone know of a kit or DIY way to do this? The ONLY kit I’ve found was this Cecco Racing one (link below)...

    Hey guys, This is probably going to sound dumb - but has anyone had difficulty replacing their battery? I’m in the process of replacing mine - because of course the one from the factory was crap. I have the new one in, positive terminal connected - but when I try to screw in the negative one...

    I have a 1998 sportsman 500 I got from my aunt and uncles that are 80 years old . They bought it new and and used it around the farm some so over al it’s in good shape when I got it the starter wouldn’t catch every time you hit the button and would slowly turn over. So I figured it was the...
  19. Polaris ATV How-Tos
    I've posted info in the past about my concerns with the 570 Sportsman and battery being mounted low and too close to the exhaust. The battery has finally been moved up to the front storage compartment for 2021, but with the older ones, one cannot see the fluid level unless the battery is...
