    Hi everyone, maybe I was a bit too hasty when I bought the 1999 Big Boss. Every screw I losen leads to a new job on a seemingly never ending todo-list to bring this 6x6 back to working condition.. The most recent entry on that list is a blown rear strut. The problem here is that the strut is...
  2. ATV Repair and Maintenance
    Hi everyone! New to the forum and Polaris. I got a ‘96 bigboss 400 2 stroke 6x6 and cannot get it to idle by itself. If I feather the throttle I can keep it running but If I start driving it feels like it floods out and won’t restart unless I try with full choke then no choke. It seems to be...
  3. ATV Repair and Maintenance
    Hello everybody! I have a Polaris Big Boss 400L ’95 that does not start. A few months ago the starter engine stopped working, and one day the recoil rope broke, and after replacing it the there was no way of starting the engine manually either. After the recoil rope broke the ATV was left in...
  4. ATV Wheels & Tires
    Hi there, Anyone here have a Polaris 6x6 Big Boss 250-300 ? I need some spec info. I'd like to know the distance between the front and back rear axles ? More specifically the distance between the center of the two rear wheels. I purchased a kit of tracks and skis for my 1995 6x6 But, the track...

    I need some box cover ideas. The picture I put on this post is of my brother's 2019 Can-Am 6x6, he built one out of wood and then fiberglassed the outside... It's cool and all but it took him way too long and we will have to see how it holds up this year. My father-in-law had one on his old 6x6...

    Yesrerday we meet some friends who were all on sleds and rode with them to the middle branch of the Ontonagon river. This is all on forest roads in the Ottawa NF and a few miles north of Bruce crossing MI. Our freind had said there was an interesting cabin to see out there, and knew its...

    Hi all! Im new here. Im looking for a used part vender / atv dismantler for my 94 big boss 400L 6x6. As you may already know, many parts are no longer available for such an old ride. I need a middle axle, or at least part of one. The part number is 5020533. I've scoured ebay and google but so...
  8. ATV Repair and Maintenance
    I have a 2014 big boss and the gauge cluster is shot. Polaris seems to change a part number every couple of years just to keep things interesting I guess. I would like to know if a cluster from a 2012 will work. The plug ins are the same and all the numbers match on the screen. I figure...
  9. Polaris Trail Boss
    I am trying to restore to a good useable condition a 1991 Big Boss 6x6 250. I bought it without a seat, and it seams the seats are nearly impossible to find, even at salvage. Has anyone ran into this issue and tried to retrofit a TB seat onto the frame? I don't have exact measurements, but it...
  10. Polaris Sportsman
    I just purchased a 2007 Sportsman 500HO 6x6. I have some questions and couldn't find a 6x6 thread on the forum.
  11. ATV Brakes & Suspension
    Trying to figure out if there are rear struts (not the shock in the middle) that will swap into the 92 model. OEM struts are long gone and the specific ones to this model only cross to the other early Boss's so I'd like to find some measurements from modern struts to see if any could be made to fit.
  12. ATV General Discussion
    Hi All, Hoping that someone can point me in the right direction. I'm having a lot of trouble finding a stainless steel off the shelf replacement for the stock exhaust system. Does anyone know if such a thing exists? 2 people in Western Australia have told me that it will be easier to...
  13. ATV General Discussion
    I have a 14 big boss and I want to add a couple of inches of ground clearance by lifting my 6x6, but for the life of me I cannot find a web site that sells "lift kits" for a big boss...... even though I see pictures of lifted big boss so what I am basically asking is what are my options ( I am...
  14. ATV General Discussion
    I have a cabin and the only way to access it is a three mile trail which is mainly just swamps, I want to buy a new 14 but I cannot find the tracks that go over the wheels, a buddy of mine said they do not make those any more is that true? (I don't see it worth buying the tracks that Polaris...

    Hello all, new member, just got a 96 Big Boss 400L 6x6 today for a heck of a deal. Absolutely nothing wrong with it, just needs a good cleaning. I'm here seeing if there's anyone out there with knowledge as to any performance upgrades for this model? I've looked a bit and haven't really found...

    Well, as a noob with my first Polaris I just wanted to give a shout out. First props to Darren who hooked me up with pdf manuals. I got my big boss used about 4 months ago and didn't run it much before I bought it. I get to use it every month or two. As with my motorcycle forums, when I think I...

  19. ATV Repair and Maintenance
    Hello fellow atv'ers, My father has a "new" Big Boss 500(Sportsman 6x6) and I was wondering what kind of maintenance is the most important on a weekly basic? There was a problem with one of the front hubs that wouldn't engange but it was just a loose cable, other than that it has worked like a...

    I am so glad that I found this forum. This is my first post here and thank all of you for making it a great forum. While not new to auto mechanics, I am a little frustrated with my '91 Big Boss. Sometimes it will start in Reverse and sometimes it wont - but in either case the engine will...
