What have YOU done to your Polaris today V2.0

Well lately it's been work on the 2005 Sportsman 400.....

Over our MEA break this past week we went on a day trip Friday, ending in the 2005 being towed back to the trail head / trailer. Long story short... It lost all power after being shut down for a rest break, after running just fine for the 2 hours prior. So, Sunday I started trouble shooting / diagnosing it had power at the battery, then solenoid, then key.... of which it did. But nothing at key turn. Kill switch on run, check?? Probed leads from ignition supply harness and pins on key switch.... something seemed off. I'm stumped at this point?! I then decided to tear apart kill switch housing and found a melted spring blade terminal on the kill switch. Carefully 'repaired' that back to operation and now all is well again!

Then last night we put pulled it into the garage again to add new LED spot lights on the 2005 front bumper.... in the hopes of a 'night ride' before the snow flies or for the need during hunting. Should be just like day time now!

Next up will be maintenance on everything this winter..... all fluids / filter on all 3 machines. And a general look over. As I'm thinking my machine (800) need a review of the clutch / belt.... seems a little grabby / jerky (like the feeling of slow rolling tire tread or belt ribs grabbing) when first bringing up RPM's as it engages for take off??? May be time for a clutch kit.... or good excuse to finally do one!

Finally got time to take a quick loop in the dark.

Here are the pics taken in the yard about 35-40 feet away from garage door:

Front of garage no lights

Front of Garage, 48W headlights (flood beam) Only

Front of Garage, 48W Headlights and 18W spotlights on bumper

Sitting at the bottom of a small rise on the farm to get a decent pic of beam pattern and distance. Top of the pic is at least 100' away, probably further since the wife and I'd had a couple beers with dinner earlier and my estimating skills weren't 100%... :grin:grin

Let's pop this to the top!!! Nothing to impressive here but I was running some errands filling the trucks up with diesel and figured I'd pull the 570 out of the upper shed and bring it down to the casa to charge the battery. I have over the past few days been moving the float charger around to the various machines and equipment to charge their batteries. The 570 hadn't been done and was the last to be done. Well the light bulb went on and I figured since I had the pigtail from the 800 off I'd throw it on the 570 since everytime I have charged it in the past I had to pull the hood off which is held down by 4 Torx. So quick little project which makes life a little easier. Don't forget to insulate your wrench!! We don't want any thing to go "POP"!!! FYI it's very very VERY important to match the insulating tape to the color of the machine you're working on 🤣🤪🤭.

I installed my boost switch.

That switch activates the torque converter in the exhaust which boosts HP by activating the flux capacitor.

Santa brought some Rhino 2.0 rear axles for my 2020 Polaris SP 1000 Touring ATV.

I installed my rear frame braces , so front and rear are done now .

Not really today, but I finished My dual battery setup / air filter box delete. Follow the link for additional info.

Here you go unable to take pics of front because of winch drain plug on front will be replaced on next fluid change
