    I just bought a used 2016 Sportsman 450 that needs a new starter solenoid. The previous owner was using a screwdriver to jump the terminals. Where should I purchase a solenoid? Prices are all over the place online: $10 on up to $83.99. Does anyone have experience using the replacement...
  3. ATV Repair and Maintenance
    Hello - I am trying to replace a solenoid in my 2004 Sportsman 500. It has 4 posts like the old one I replaced. I, of course, didn't take a picture of how it was wired before taking it apart. There are 4 posts on the solenoid. I believe I have the two smaller posts on the left (in the pic) wired...

    I have a 2004 Polaris 500 HO that I am in the process of bringing back to life after 10 years in the garage. Originally it went down with a bad starter. I have replaced the starter, battery and the solenoid. I am not sure the solenoid is the correct one. So far I have power to the gauge...

    Initial Issue: after an electronic start I had a high pitch sound. A noise I had never heard before. I was in the field and I immediately trailered the ATV. After reading advice from this forum, I replaced the battery(needed replacing), and cleaned the connections to the solenoid. I still...

    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...

    Ok I need some help. This thing has been down all winter. Long story short, had no power, cut out 3 fusible links and replaced . ( bad advice ) I found out the solenoid was bad. Then shorted it out by using a cheap one, the studs swisted and caused wires on solenoid to burn. I took to local (...

    I have a 2009 Sportsman Touring 800. After I went riding yesterday, I tried to start my ATV and I didn't get a click, but my gauges all worked. I jumped the solenoid and it started right up. I thought the solenoid was bad and put a new one on, nothing changed. Any suggestions? Has anyone...

    I was just using my polaris sportsman 500 yesterday in the yard. I went to get back on it and it would not start. I would just here a single click and then nothing. I did a few test and solenoid and starter were getting the 12v they needed. I went ahead and replaced both starter and solenoid...

    I picked up an 08 sportsman 500 ho with a winch and plow setup this fall. I used the winch a few times and I noticed ever so often the solenoid/control under the right front fender would click and not release the winch cable. I took it all apart, cleaned and sprayed everything with WD-40 to keep...

    Hi all - Polaris Sportsman 400 2005 model. I'm replacing starter, drive, and now solenoid. Started and drive went in well.

    So the other day a friend of mine came into our garage that my mother made my dad have built for all of our extras. 4 wheelers, dirt bikes, and a 1972 VW Superbeetle. All of which do not run. He says," dude this thing still does not work?!" so needless to say later that night I drank a red bull...

  15. ATV Repair and Maintenance
    Can anyone point me in the direction of some instructions on how to rebuild a starter for my '07 Sportsman 800? I see that the kits are pretty inexpensive (relative to a new one anyway) and I'd like to give it a shot. I'm guessing that the rebuild kits don't come with instructions...or am I...
