I just bought a 2017 Sportsman 450 HO from a private party - only 40 engine hours on it, but its out of warranty. The battery was dead after we took it out riding for a few hours and I had to charge it. I took the battery to NAPA and they said its fine. I read a forum on here from 2013 on how...

The battery for my 2004 polaris sportsman 500 HO was recently put in backwards and began smoking when the key was turned. I have switched the battery and put wiring back to make sure it is correct. I then turned the key and found that I still have power to the machine and it does crank. The...

Just bought a used 2013 sportsman 500 ho, this is my first 4x4 quad. Worked fine for a month and battery went dead and nothing would power on. Changed battery and while tightening the positive terminal, my wrench touched the ground and made a spark. I turned the ignition on for power to my...

I have a 2005 phoenix 200 I am looking for a wiring diagram. I was having problems getting the machine to start. It was just clicking. I purchased a new battery and charged it overnight. Still nothing but clicking. I had my son look at it and he said it may be the starter or solenoid. When he...

I have an '03 Magnum 330 and the CDI box burned up, which I now know is a common issue with this CDI box. Problem is they are not cheap, $250. A '02 Magnum 325 CDI box is the same physical size, has the same connection and is 200 bucks cheaper ... but is a different part number. Can the 325...

Ok, been having overcharge issue for a couple weeks now. I bought new ecm thinking it was voltage regulator as battery was metering at 16-18 volts at 3000-4000 rpm. After new ecm (regulator is built in on this model year), same overcharge issue. I tested stator legs and they are ALL showing a...

I have recently acquired a 2006 Sportsman 450. The ECM was replaced on recall in August 2015 (previous owner, confirmed by dealer). As luck would have the NEW one also crapped out. The internal voltage regulator, inside the ecm of course, is not working and battery over charges to 18V at 3000...

If the pod mount receptacle receiver is plugged in the two leads it will blow my ACCY fuse also my winch will not work, if i unplug the leads to the pod mount receptacle receiver fuse will not blow and winch will work. I thought i found the problem because the positive terminal was loose. i...

The other weekend while riding my atv I had the headlights on and while the four wheeler was at idle and I was using the lights to find some things on the ground they just went out and won't turn back on. I have checked the fuses under the front rack and they are all good. I have not checked to...

Hey everyone, I have been having running issues with my 2004 Sportsman 500 HO. I start it, but it will only run for about 5 seconds then it dies. The only way I can get it to start back up again is to flip the kill switch off then on again, but it still only runs for a short amount of time. I'm...
