2002 Polaris Sportsman 500


Recommended Posts

I need a pdf of the service manual for the 2002 polaris sportsman 500 if any one can help me.....

I have to locate the fuses to trouble shoot.

What happen is I let someone put in my new battery (because I was busy) and they reversed the polarity (and i did not check their work b4 I started it up) and when I turned the key and tried to start it, it made some clicking sound as it was going to start and then started smoking immediatally somewhere under the seat.....anyhow, I discoverd the screw up with the reverse polarity and I corrected that and now it will not do anything when I try to start it.

So, the battery reads charged.....but i am gonna stick it on the charger tonight. But I must learn more about the fuses and their location and such.....

ANY SUGGESTIONS WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED...Tryen to save money and do it myself....

thanks....Teri

if you look under the seat and take the breather off the wires are right there some are a little tuff too get but you can see if there fried or not i had a simmler problem and looked for the wires and there they all were and if you go to the front of the quad and take off the plastic where the radiator is theres all the fuses they should be in like black packs probably need a ohm tester good luck bud i already discovered all this stuff and i have a 2003 not much of a difference

      Sorry I suck at these forums so if you see this submitted under update status, my bad. Anyhow this is a new shock for a 96 Yamaha Kodiak 400 4x4 it fits my 96 Yamaha Timberwolf 250 4x4 perfectly. Little narrower are the bottom than the original but everything else is perfect. I extended it to almost a half in from full extension because I’m pushing 350 pounds.  It rides and hold me well. So if any of y'allRace driven shock. have been looking for one and didn’t want to do the research here it is.

      Hi Guys!

      New member and could really use your advice. I would have to believe this has been an issue for others but a search here came up with nothing......? (Probably me not doing search correctly)
       
      I have an 87 Big Bear 350 YFM350FWT
      The OEM Mikuni BTM carb is shot and would rather replace than rebuild.
      It is no longer made and I have had good luck with NICHE carbs so I ordered a #K-CRB-0006 This was what they said was replacement when ordered. This Carb only uses 1 Throttle cable. The Slide is linked so it uses one. (OEM had 2nd cable coming through top to move slide)
       
      Problem is when I ordered a replacement Cable from NICHE (#C-CBL-0061) the Cable wire is a little short, not allowing Throttle to return all the way down to Idle position. I called NICHE and they are at a loss. Haven't gotten back to me after 2+ weeks.
       
      What would you recommend other than a carb rebuild?
      Can I just use 1 of the OEM cables (It is the right length) and snip/disconnect the other that went to top of Carb for Slide?
      Or ??
       
      Thanks in advance for any advice you have!!

      I have been exploring all the options available, so many, its hard to choose. I have kind of narrowed it down to the Honda Pilot, Subaru Outback, and Kind of looking at the Outlander, although its a little small,  the new one is nice looking. Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations or gripes with any of these rides. I have driven Jeeps for the past 25  years and they have been great, but their price point has gotten to high. Expieriences good or bad would be helpful. Thanks!
