Hello everyone. I have an intermittent issue that I haven't found anyone describing. I bought a 2005 Polaris ATP 500 a few months back. a handful of times so far I have shifted into reverse and the engine revs up and just as the machine is about to start moving, the motor throttles down. It...

I have been restoring a 1986 Polaris Trail Boss 250 and have been riding it around to break in the new piston and honed cylinder. When I first start it, the ATV does not want to go in reverse (makes a loud grinding noise). I have to ride a couple inches forward before it will shift in to...

Hello, I looked around a bit but found nothing....so here goes. Was all set to plow some of that wonderful white stuff that was dumped here in Michigan yesterday, brand new plow, ready to rock. The old 700 in low gear, in AWD mode is awesome....except....when I shifted into reverse...it...

Hey guys. New to the forum and new to Polaris ATVs. I'm not new to repairing things but I have a couple of questions about my ATV that I would like to get some input on before trying to fix something that may not be broke. I just recently purchased a 2008 Scrambler 500 HO AWD for my wife to...

Hey guys, new member but not new to the forums! I got a 2013 Sportsman 500, bought it new in August. Anyways my front diff on occasions locks solid (hard, heavy steering) and wont unlock even with the switch is put back in 2x2. Stop, start and stopping again on flat level ground again doesn't...

Had my 05 700 efi serviced today and wanted them to check my ride. I informed them that the speedometer is not working and my reverse override and 4 wheel drive aren't working either. I asked them after the oil change if they could do a test to determine if the issues were all speedometer...

This machine runs great going forward. But when I put it in reverse, it starts sputtering and coughing so bad that it won't even move! Any ideas why it would do that? I recently replaced the intake valve and might have gotten the timing chain off by a tooth, but it runs great except in reverse.

Anybody got a 2003 500 HO they are parting out or know where one is? I need a transmission for my 500 HO, reverse is locked up and the guy at the shop said I could find a good used one cheaper than fixing mine. I bought a fix er upper with only 300 miles and 48 hrs but the trans is locked any...

Just noticed today, when I was backing up my Polaris turns itself to the right. I Disengaged the on demand 4x4 and it stopped pulling. I know in the Manuel it says to stop and shift to drive and back to reverse because one of the hubs is not disengaged/or engaged. Was it pulling to the right...

When plowing with my 08 Sportsman 500 HO EFI I get on a slippery or rough surface and go to back up. There is a clunking noise coming from, I'm guessing, the front gearbox. Mostly in reverse, but also in forward, when stuck. (on a log) It never does it when there is traction to all four tires. I...
