2008 polaris 500 EFI sportsman starter issue

[Candy 10]

Hoping someone can help me out here. Just stumbled on this forum while searching for info on 2008 polaris sportsman starter issues. I've got a 2008 polaris sportsman 500 EFI. I'm currently putting in my 4th starter! Does anyone know why I'm going through so many starters?

the 500's usually don't have problems with the starters unless it's binding, a voltage or heat issue. when you replaced the starter, was it polaris or chinshu? get the polaris if it was a chinshu before.
