I own a Touring 500 after 8 months and out of the factory warranty period a bolt came loose inside the transmission and broke the chain drive and chipped the gears. Cost over $900 to get it fixed so my next quad, a 525 Outlaw I bought the extended warranty and another bolt came loose behind the clutch the extended warranty wouldn't cover the repair, cost $210. Stay away form Polaris is my advice.

      whats the best way to seal the bead on a tire

      So I decided to pick up a small trailer if I could get one for the right price.  I found this one for a few hundred bucks on Craig’s list.  It is  a galvanized trailer which is exactly what I was looking for. The wood was shot and needed some minor repairs which I could care less about as long as the chassis was good. 
      I striped it down and put a new deck on. I had some vinyl realtree graphics that I had laying around so I added them to the fenders which I think worked out well. Very happy with this little guy.  
      I'm having the iron workers at my jobmake me up a few lightweight side rails that will have a 22 degree bend in them to accommodate the tires that slightly hang over the edge and will incorporate some tie down points as well.

      Hi,
      This weekend went on a trip with my all brand new cforce 1000 touring, went from tarmac to reach the small muddy places and dirt and even sand.
      Was running great until tre situations occurred:
      First, after putting 50km without problems and still respecting the break in on the engine, we came across a sand small uphill and just turned the 4x4, and almost reaching the top, got a strange loss of traction with a noise like something was slipping, the noise looked to came from the front but cannot give 100% sure it was the differential or not, but something was definitely slipping, also i disconnected the 4x4 and tried to make the uphill only rear traction and almost reaching the top the same noise. I got a friend that was on my old 850XC and it drove pass this small uphill almost at idle.....what do you think??? Belt Slipping, Front differential or Gearbox/CVT?
      Second, after this situation, i had the engine light going from on to off on the trail back home, but on the trail back home, i had no issues with temp rising nor noises nor anything, we drove normally, but without sand nor uphills, just rolling normally on dirt roads.
      Third, a strange situation, riding on normal mode, i was going at 38 to 40km rolling but the engine was revving on 4000rpm at those speeds, i feel that it was a little bit more reavs than usual for that speed, but this is my perception, what do you think on this???

      I bought a 1996 Sportsman 500 4x4 about a month ago, and I love it. Unfortunately, I've been experiencing a few problems with the high-range gear. The first problem is that the gear selector will intermittently pop out of high and into neutral. This problem will sometimes occur when starting from a stop and sometimes will also occur while at cruising speed. The last time this happened I stopped and put it back into gear, however, as soon as I tried to throttle the machine would die. I turned it on again with no problems put it back into high and it died again. Once again I turned it on with no problems put it into low instead and it worked fine with no problem. I drove in low down the road slowly for a little and then shifted back into high with no issues. 
         I plan on working on it this weekend and would just like some opinions or feedback from anyone who may have experienced these problems before. I'm very mechanically inclined but im unsure of exactly where to start as this is the first Polaris ATV that I've owned. Any feedback is appreciated and thanks in advance
