  1. Polaris Sportsman
    Couldn't get spark, so I replaced stator. I got good spark, but lost it when I put the CDI back up in the frame. Used an ebay CDI and got spark again (despite being 1/2 the size as original and having 1 less wire than the machine-white/blue wire I think). Ran well. Noticed that I would only get...
  2. Polaris Sportsman
    Found a 2012 Sportsman with like, 5-hours on it. Got a great deal, but there are certain gremlins as with all bikes, especially ones that sit. It starts easily, and I got the idle dialed in, but after riding for 30-60 minutes, it tends to stall when my son comes to a stop and goes to...
  3. Polaris Outlaw
    So, it's a family thing now. Both of my boys (5 & 8) are riding on a Polaris 50 Outlaw and Sportsman 90. However, I can't seem to find liability insurance on the Outlaw 50 anywhere. We are in PA, and state lands along with some riding areas like Famous Reading Outdoors requires registration and...
  4. ATV Repair and Maintenance
    Needing a little help with a 4 stroke sportsman 90, 2008 model. Got it on a trade, wasn't charging the battery. 1. Here is what I've done so far, replaced starter and Bendix gear (both were stripped and starting to skip) new stator, reg/rec, new battery. 2. Tested continuity from stator...
  5. Polaris Sportsman
    Hi, new to the forum. I've searched the ole intewebs and have come down to asking for assistance on my sportsman 90. So a bit of the backstory is that the carb bowl drain screw leaked and caused a fuel fire on the machine. It got put out fairly quickly but not till after melting the fuel line...
  6. Polaris Sportsman
    Hi, I though I had already posted this but cant find it. If so - sorry. When running our 2007 4 stroke sportsman 90 for a while (say 30-60 mins) if you shift from forward to reverse it does not seem to want to come out of reverse again. I had to turn of the engine to shift and then it was...
  7. Polaris Sportsman
    Hi, I have a sportsman 90. When starting cold with choke it is starts and dies unless I give it a little throttle. When started it will die at idle without a little throttle. After I run for 5 to 10 minutes it starts fine and idles will. I inspected the carb recently and cleaned all holes with...
  8. Polaris Sportsman
    I picked up someone else's winter project and was given a bunch of hoses:crying. I'm mostly confused about the two hoses that come off a splitter at the top of the tank. A handmade drawing will be fine:grin

    Hi! I picked up a couple sportsmans. They are both 90s. Also both need some work. I am looking for resources like a parts and repair manual. First time wrenching on an atv and I'm kinda lost ! Any help pointing me in the right direction would be so appreciated. :)
  11. ATV Wheels & Tires
    We picked up an '02 Sportsman 90 for our 7 yr old son in the late fall. We had our first snow of the season (16"!!) After I plowed the driveway I got out his wheeler to let him have some fun. NOT! He's a lightweight at maybe 60 lbs with winter gear & helmet. All he could do was sit and spin. I...
  12. ATV Repair and Maintenance
    I picked up a pair of 2001 Sportsman 90's for the kids. Both start right up, idle with no issues and run without hesitation. The problem is that they smoke so bad, there has to be something wrong. I have two other larger 2 stroke bikes that have no where near as much smoke coming from them. It...

    Hello All, Newbie here. Just got a mint second hand 2012 Sportsman 90 for my daughter and noticed an excessive amount of lean on the front tires when we got it home and she was riding it. As she went around turns you could see the tires shift back and forth. I spoke with the dealer and read...

    I have searched all threads fpr Sportsman 90 and couldn't find one to fit my issue. I have bought my daughter a 2004 Sportsman 90 for Christmas and I took the plastics off today to get it cleaned up a bit and after reconnecting the battery I have no power at all. No dummy lights, nothing. The...
  16. ATV Repair and Maintenance
    I have been working on this problem all summer. My daughter has a sportsman 90 that runs fine, until the battery runs down. Then if I charge the battery overnight, it runs great again, until the battery dies again. I pulled the stator and had the shop test it. It was bad, so I replaced it...
  17. ATV Repair and Maintenance
    This bike has been sitting up for years. as far as I can tell it's a 2007 sportsman 90 4 stroke I went through the fuel system including the carb. cranks fine, rough idle but I can't tune it due to that fact that it won't power up past an idle. It acts like the rev limiter is out of whack...

  19. ATV Repair and Maintenance
    I am trying to fix my daughter's 90. We went riding one afternoon and everything went great. The next day she was riding it and it just stopped. I charged the battery but could not get a good charge on it. I replaced the battery and the bike ran good a few times, then dead again. When I...
