    I'm having a problem with my 2020 Sportsman 450 HO EFI shutting off at idle. It starts fine but the engine will start to miss and finally shut off when the rpms come down to below 1300, certainly by 1200. This happens until engine temperature is above 150º or so. Then, it idles fine. Here is a...

    Recently got a used 450, when trying to start engine, it makes a click noise and I can feel the click coming from the ecu. Thinking it could be something behind the ecu but not sure. Any help is welcome. Thanks

    Hello. I have a 2020 Sportsman 450 awd efi. Not too long ago, I bough an aftermarket K&N PL-1003. I heard that it was supposed to give you more power. The second I installed it and put a pre-filter on, I saw an immediate increase in power. It was a lot but it was noticable and had a better...

    Hello everyone, new around here. Got a 2021 Polaris Sportsman 450 this year as a gift. Has a winch on it and I'm looking to get a plow now. Problem is, we have about a half mile lane to plow and 3 decent driveways (we live in the country). We used to use an old farm truck with a plow on it..but...

    so i bought this fourwheeler about a year back and so far i’ve had to replace the ecu and headlight cluster due to other issues. since I've bought it, it never liked full throttle and i thought that they may have been because it sat for 4 months and the carb just needed ran through and possibly...

    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...

    Hello everyone, new to the whole atv thing, and not to beat a dead horse but I'm trying to wrap my head around the offsets. Now I got a good deal on some ITP terracross R/T tires, 26x8-14 and 26x10-14 sized. This keeping the stock width of the tires, just increasing the tire height and rim size...

    Hello, I am new so thank you for your patience. I have a 2016 Sportsman 450 that won't crank. When I turn the key over nothing happens, no clicking, no cranking, no nothing.

    Beat the hell out of my machine today...not the first time.. And now..when I'm in high, and I smash the throttle from a stop, it revs really high-like stuck in low gear-before it abruptly transfers to a higher speed. Some noise coming from I believe the belt area..particularly at lower speed. I...

    I'm having problems with my 450, I am new to ATVing and not much of a gear head, but pretty mechanical capable and willing to try and tackle anything. The problem I am having is lack of power transfer, I think. I've searched the threads and thought my problem was a worn belt, changed belt...
