Polaris Sportsman 110cc rear end damage


Recommended Posts

I have a 2018 Polaris Sportsman 110cc that my son rides.  We are active riding in the Colorado mountains.  My son struggles to navigate trails with rocks.  He follows my line and occasionally hits the rear end.  Well the pictures show the damage well.  After a weekend of riding almost 60 miles, he hit one rock and nearly ripped the rear axle off.  There was about 1/2" of metal still attached on one of the tubes.  Luckily I have a neighbor that is a big fabricator as his help will be needed on this one.

Definitely not great photos.  I got new bearings and seals, everything put back together and the ATV ready to ride again.  I feel pretty good about everything.  We are going out this weekend so will see how it holds up.  These youth quads are definitely not built for rough Colorado mountain trails. 

The OEM welds on these units are also not great quality.  Some welds just ran off into space, cold welds and other issues.  This repair is of much higher quality and added a bunch of steel to this rear end.

      The studs in the sprocket hub are stripped out. The hub is probably walloed out also. Probably will have to have a new sprocket hub. I doubt I have the ability nor the tools needed for this job. Thanks for all suggestions/opinions!

      What are your riding location preferences? Mud Park? Personal Trails? Public Land?

      Does anyone use GPS, whether on a device or app to record their ATV trail rides? I have been thinking about a section where our members can upload let's say a .gpx file and share their rides on a google map for others to see where there are riding areas. Not sure if this is something of interest or how much it would be used, so just trying to get an idea.
      Importing routes from files like xml, lmx, tour, freshroute, gpx, kmz, kml

      I'm assuming, it's alright to test the engine after adjusting valves without the rear axle installed? Can someone please verify this? I'm waiting on axle parts and wanting to get that done while waiting. Thanks! 🙂
