2005 Polaris Sportsman 500 Instrument Cluster Issues


Recommended Posts

Hey Barry, welcome to Quadcrazy! 
The cluster on the dash should have nothing to do with the high/low beams. 
If the cluster is working properly aside from the illuminating portion then there may be a problem internally with the cluster. I would move some wires around going into the cluster and see if it comes on like a loose connection.  I am not 100% sure but my guess would be if the cluster has power and shows the diagnostic portion (mph/rpm) of the atv and  the illumination portion should work as well.

Hey Frank! Thanks for the reply!  Sorry I didn't state there is no illumination on the cluster at all, no diagnostic display at all.  Just assuming the key turned on allowing the lights to turn on means I'm getting power to the pod? ]

 

I moved this unit from one garage bay to the another garage this morning it was fine, went back in an hour or so to move it back and it did this.  I can't grasp what the issue is.....possibly a ground issue?

It could be a ground issue or a corroded fuse. I would go get some dielectric grease and start taking plugs and fuses apart, clean all areas and apply the grease and reconnect.    Some plugs may be tough to get to since they are located under the front plastic right where that cluster is located so you may have to pull that plastic off.

      I did a compression test on my 2005 Bombardier Traxter 650 CVT and it's 75 PSI.  service manual only talks about leak down test.  No specification for engine compression the manual.  What does 75 PSI tell me?  Thank in advance.
       
      A little history of this machine.  640 miles.  Picked it up about 2 years ago, not running. Probably the computer.  Tested all circuits and confirm it was the computer.  Long story short, I watched a Youtube video and fixed the computer. ATV now started and runs.  BUT, it tops out 20 MPH.  I cleaned the carb 3 times also using a Mikuni carb kit after the second time.  Slide in carb is going up and down.  Only adjustment for fuel is at 1.5 turns out.  NGK Sparkplug had soot on main part but brown on the electrode.  Champion sparkplug is brown.  I check CVT clutches and they both appear to engage like they suppose to.  Checked valve clearance it's 0.00, I can't get any feeler gauges in-between.  I check timing chain I believe it's in the correct position and hasn't skipped.  I removed muffler plug and drilled into muffler to try and make sure it wasn't plugged.

      Hi guys. I have a problem where the quad will start and run well for about 5 minutes and then it dies. On inspection the airbox has oil in it (quite a lot). The oil is pumping through the cylinder head breather hose. This problem first happened suddenly. I have since done the top end including, piston, gaskets, rings and valves. I have also done the carb (not that I thought that this was the problem). The compression seems normal. The only thing that I can think of, is that I did not grind the valves well enough. Anyone experienced this? If so, how did you fix it? Any other thoughts?

      Hello i have a 2005 Bombardier Outlander max xt 400, i recently split the case to fix a oil leak. while in there i took out the oil pump and i cant find the torque specs for the oil pump to go back in, i tend to over tighten everything so im trying to go be the torque specs so i dont break anything.
