Im thinking of ways to get a little more umph out of my wheeler, She's an 05 400 and does about 45 top speed, which is not bad for the size but it would be cool to get a little more power out of her. I figured that the easiest/cheapest/quickest way would be to get a clutch kit. Anyone have a...

Hey Guys. I'm pretty new to this Forum, never posted any threads yet but frequently visit to figure out issues on my atv. I have a 2011 Sportman 850XP EPS with 80hrs on it and my issue is when I start to accelerate from a standstill, it almost feels like the back wheels spin. Its hard to explain...

Do Sportsman belts typically break or start slipping when they're beginning to fail? Or could it be either? I just got a great deal on an '08 Sportsman 500 HO EFI with about 1300 miles on it. Haven't even take it out for a long ride yet. Should I replace the belt? Inspect the belt? Can I...

Took my new polaris 500 ho out last night and got stuck. Now my quad doesn't get going till around 5000rpm and doesn't go faster than 30. I think it's my drive belt. I took the plastic cover off we're the belt is and a black watery liquid came out, looks like water and like a rubbery dust in it...

Hello All, I was wondering if anybody could guide me in the right direction to replacing the engine mounts. It's on a 95 Sportsman 400 4x4. I'm replacing the rear one. I have removed the brush shield exposing the mounts. I got the bottom bolt where the actual mount bolts to the frame off. Now...

hi i have a problem with my 850 (2011, 980 kms), it seems like the clutch is not fully disengaging. when i come to a stop it is hard to shift and when i put it in neutral the belt starts spinning. if i let it sit for 30-60 seconds in neutral it stops and shifts fine but as soon as i move again...

I have a 97 Xplorer 400L and the drive belt keeps ripping. Im going on my 2nd replacement in two weeks. I just adjusted the idle to a lower rpm, I'm going to reseal the outer seal on the transmission case, and then get a high performance belt. I noticed belt marks inside the case. Could that...

Since you guys have been so helpful in fixing my last few problems.... 1996 sportsman 500 I changed my belt last fall and thought I had fixed my problem. It started right up today and runs good, idles fine,but I do not have much power. In fact i feel i could be passed by a turtle. The carb...

I was driving down my driveway @ 55mph and a whole bunch of smoke came out, smelling burning rubber. Will this problem be covered by the warranty? It dosen't even have 200 miles on it yet :werd: :damnit: :kabong:

Hey guys i am having trouble with my 2002 500 Ho sportsman. The clutch will not completely disengage and keeps enough grip to move it and makes it extremely hard to shift into gear. I took it apart, and the part that the belt rides on in the clutch free spins and moves a little left and right...

Hi there. New to the forum but have ridden Polaris for years. But now I have an issue that I can't find the answer to. 2005 800efi. Starts fine, no abnormal sounds, shifts fine then when I give it throttle it won't move at all until I'm almost topped out and then it only moves about 2mph. Belt...

Maybe a stupid question but what type of lube/grease do I use on the transmission belt and pulley. I just pulled and re-installed and need to re-lube it now. I could not identify the grease that was on there other than it was not thick... Almost film like and was nearly impossible to wash off my...

I just recently purchased a 2002 Sportsman 500 HO, and im getting some strange noise and vibrations from the engine-belt. It has 2000miles on it, and i believe its got the original belt on it, and i dont think the clutch has ever been rebuilt. The noise is intermittant at idle, and its not a...

Hey all, I'm brand new to the scene so please bear with me here. I am currently working on my brother-in-laws 2002 sportsman 500. Last week we had to replace the drive belt because the old one shredded apart during a ride. We had to remove the secondary pulley in order the remove the nylon...

Hey guys I'm new to owning a Polaris. I have been doing a lot of work on my used 2001 Sportsman 400 4x4. I had noticed the new belt was loose that I installed but didn't know how to tighten it so I took it for a ride this weekend to see how it ran. It ran well on flat ground but when it came to...
