Help! I'm stumped, We have a 1995 Polaris Magnum 425 4x4 in our shop. The customer's complaint was when it warmed up it bogged badly, he said he would stop shift the bike into nuetral and rev it up a bunch of black smoke would come out and then it would run fine for a short while then he would have to repeat the same proceedure again. Now don't get too excited I'm fairly sharp with mechanics. First I started the bike and ran it around the yard for a good ten to fifteen minutes the bike seemed somewhat sluggish and non-responsive running extremely poor and backfiring a bit. Next I removed the air filter, no improvement, I left it out and removed the exh. springs and seperated the exh at the cylinder head, loud but no inprovement so a hooked it back up, next I removed the carb for the second time and throughly cleaned it, it's perfectly clean the needle and seat are the best I've seen the jet needle in the slide is locked propperly by the spring and the diaphram's perfect. I hooked up the carb to a gravity fed tank to bypass the fuel pump and still bike idles perfectly but when you throttle up it starts to stutter, I'm aware of the rev limiter and it does act any differently when the button is depressd I opened the throttle bay and the limiter switch is 100% operational. HERE'S THE KICKER with airbox completely removed from the carb the bike throttles up perfectly, BUT as soon as you hook it back up it won't rev. this is with the airfilter out completely vacant box ABSOLUTELY NO RESTRICTION GAURENTEED, AND NO IT'S NOT COLAPSING UPON ACCELERATION. You can literally rev the bike with the air box sitting 1/2" off the intake throat on the carb and while your revving it slide the airbox intake tube on the carb and it falls flat on it's face, and I mentioned THERE ARE NO OBSTRUCTIONS IN THIS TUBE. P.S. I pulled the valve cove and set the tappets to .006" according to service manual, they were almost perfect, i would say I may have increased the tappet clearance if anything by a thou or two.

PLEASE HELP I LOOSING SLEEP!!!:aargh:

      How did you get into Quads?
      By Mikey69
      Heres my story. Kinda long. I guess I was a late bloomer when it comes to quads. I had never ridden a quad in my life. Rode Dirt Bikes as a kid growing up. Back in Oct of '06 I found a Mustang on craigslist. Took it for a test drive one morning before work. Fast car. 351 Cleveland. I had planned on meeting the guy again after work. For some strange reason thats still to this day beyond me, I stopped in Hillsboro MotoSports on the way home from work. I had 6 Grand on me. There was a left over '05 sitting by the front door. It was on sale for $4999. It was $5499 OTD. I didnt even look at anything else. I knew nothing about quads accept I thought it really looked coool and I had the money in my pocket to buy it. I was sitting on it when the salesman walked up and asked... "Can I help you?" Without hestitation I pulled 60 Ben Franklins outta my front pocket and said "I want this Quad. Load it up in my truck." It was just about dark by the time I drove away from the shop. BTW, I didnt bother to ask my ol lady if I could buy it. LOL. Anyway, I took it by the house and showed her. She was kinda stunned but not mad. We drove over to a friend of mines house and unloaded it. I took it to the field across the street from his house. HOLY CHIT!!!!! I was surprised by the power. I had it for about 2 weeks and took it to Sand Lake. I was there a few hours and rolled it on a banked turn at the top of the bowl right before you get to the one-ways. When it rolled, I flew off and landed on my belly. The quad came bouncing and landed on my back. For a month I couldnt even walk. I was scared of it. I considered trading it for a 250EX. Went back to the shop. The salesman said..."Dude!!! You dont want a 250EX!!! Trust me. Just get used to it" I still wasnt convinced. I put it on craigslist for $4000. Calls were coming in. I had a guy that wanted to come look at it that evening. I decided to take it for one last ride at Browns Camp before I sold it. I was still afraid of it. After about 5 minutes I started feeling comfortable on it again. I decided right then, I loved my Honda 450 and would learn how to ride it instead of selling it. That was late Nov of '06. Work was slow for a Painter in Oregon. My new job everyday? Going to Browns Camp and ridding my Quad. I bought my Girl Friend an '02 Blaster. I rode my 450 for 4-6 hours almost every single day for 3 months. And yes, I know my way around Browns Camp pretty well. LOL. In March I bought her an '06 TRX250EX (Thank God I didnt trade my 450 for one of those) LOL Since then, I have become totally addicted to quads. I love them. Couldnt imagine not owning at least one quad. Luckily I have two. My "07 was $6500 OTD in July of '07. Bought it for my Girlfriend. Traded in her 250 EX. A month later we broke up. So, I wound up with two Honda 450's.

      2006 polaris sportsman 500 ho issues with the unit like the belt is slipping
      By Spritee1
      having an issue with the unit when running under a load up a hill or in high gear, seems like the belt is slipping, there is a clapping sound coming from the primary clutch like it releases and snaps back in. i don't think I should have a noise like that. this is a friends unit and he has already replaced the primary twice with the same result.
      not sure where to look next

      2010 Polaris RZR Replacement Seat
      By Johnfj44
      The stock driver seat cushion is separated at a seam. I took the seat apart and found that the material has torn and cannot be re-stiched. I'm trying to find a replacement seat. Any suggestions? Hoping for a used seat but couldn't find one on Ebay.

      By HSTAR
      Hey I have a 1997 big bear 350 4x4
      I replaced the shifter shaft and the shift arm linkage and the rod when I installed them all I was unaware that you had to line the dot on the shifter shaft with the gap on the linkage arm gap put it all back  together and rode it I can't get it to shift in the right gears  I can move the shift cam by hand and goes in different gears but with the shifter shaft in it riding I can't put it in R or N 
      Anyone know how to line up the shifter shaft and the shift cam s

      Polaris Sportsman 570 6X6 2017 DTC "520 285 2"
      By Slitzer
      Hi,
      Got a Big Boss produced 2016 YM 2017 that gives DTC 520 285 2 (random)
      What I understand is correlation code for brakesensors, very little information in workshop manual.
      Removed front plastic to discover that no connector was mounted on the brake pressure switch!?
      The only "brake" information seems to come from the micro switch at the brake lever.
      Does anyone know if Polaris does anything special on the 6x6 or had this issue?
