Today I finally completed my project so took it for a first run out for a shake down. This quad was stood for over 10 years so there was bound to be something go wrong. Everything ran well but there was a noticeable front end wobble at speed. I checked and the front steering rack seems to have...

My 05 sportsman 500 rear suspension takes a ton of weight to make it compress even the smallest amount. It's fully extended all the time and it's puts the axle on such an angle, I'm worried it might damage them over time. My shock adjusters are all the way to one side. Looks like the notch that...

Hey everyone, so I finally got the old 6x6 running well but the rear strut is shot and is making for a bouncy ride. The original Polaris part number 1580078 is discontinued and I can’t even find a used one on eBay. I’ve resorted to buying a generic shock and welding the bottom bracket onto the...

Hey yall. I am the new proud owner of a 2000 Polaris Sportsman 500 and 2004 Polaris Sportsman 400. My issue is on the 500. It has a lift kit that is putting the CV axles in a decent looking bind and I want to remove it and go back stock. These are just going to be used to some trial riding and...

I have a 2004.5 Polaris sportsman 700 that currently has a 2” bracket lift on it. I’m taking it off due to the issues it’s causing with suspension geometry, front axle binding, etc. it’s an old quad and has a sag in the front lifted or not. I’ve heard about these hd (I assume heavy duty) springs...

I've got a 2013 Scrambler 850 XP that I just noticed is missing the rear sway bar. If anybody happens to have one that they took off and don't want to put back on, ya interested in getting rid of it? Got this quad kinda beat and I'm trying to fix it up

Hi. New here. Had a sportsman 500 in the past, just bought a 2004 700 last fall. It's got low hours, doesn't seem to have been used too much, (was used as an extra machine by a Maine Guide for hunting trips), but it's also never had anything done to it besides general maintenance stuff like...

Looking for #26 on this parts diagram. Lost it tooling around my property and now my wheeler is out in the middle of a field. Need to get something in there to get it back to the house while I wait for new parts and bushings...

Hello All, I've been having an issue with my 2017 Sportsman 570 that pertains to the rear RH sway bar link contacting the exhaust muffler when the suspension is at near full travel. I brought the machine to my local dealer and tried to get it checked out under warranty. Since the service...

Hello and glad to be here, I have a 2016 570 touring eps and was wondering if the spring spacers for the front would even make a notable difference when using a plow. Obviously, the front end dips when lifting the plow, but will the spacer (even with two per side) really be worth the purchase on...

Hello and thanks in advance for your help. I have a 2005 MV7 that is used mostly for pushing snow. The front end feels "spongy" leading me to the conclude that it's time to replace some parts. I see lots of references in the forum to replacing the springs but none about replacing the struts...

Hey guys. My 2011 Sportsman 850XP quad is leaning about 3/4 of an inch on the right side. When you look at it straight on, it is noticeable. I did roll it once pretty bad. PSI is tires is even. Any suggestions on what might be wrong? Will adjusting the suspension do anything? Bent sway bar?

Hey guys, I want to order some hd springs for my 2013 sportsman 500 . As far as I can tell, polaris only makes springs for the front, and I can't find a listing for the rears with Epi or highlifter...the listings only go up to 2012...has anyone put these on a 2013?

I have a 2007 Sportsman 500 deluxe. The bolt on left side rear shock broke and bent the rear control arm and drove the shock into the tire. I went to order new parts, and the parts diagram don't match the lower control arm, on the diagram and the service manual the shock bolts into the control...

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've been Doing an inspection on the 2010 550 just purchased. 47 hours on the dash. My question is ---The bike has some front to back movement when you push / pull on the bars. I'd say about 1/8 inch at the top. Is this normal with EPS?

Hey guys does anyone know of aftermarket A-arms for the 850 xp? I just noticed that i have a slight bend in one and was looking for replacements but havent had any luck. My dealer wants $140 for one. I think thats a little steep and thought someone might have made something a little stronger for...

Alright, I didnt get the name BigMoFo because Im a small guy, I need some beefy springs in the rear. The biggest spring rate I have seen for my 02 sportsman 700 is right around 140# from EPI. I was wondering if Ranger Springs would work?? Im looking at the biggest the have for Polaris, any...

So I upgraded my 2002 Sportsman 700 to 27" tires and also added a 2" High Lifter lift. The tires are absolutely great and I love the new clearance I have with the lift. I went through places I have never been able to get through before. So as far as mud and offroad performance it's wonderful...
