I bout a 2003 Polaris Sportsman 500 HO 4x4 last month and have been riding with my brother (experience trail rider on a honda) so i could enjoy time with my bro and the ride.

Im glad i did it, worrth every penny i payed for it, But i have a small problem.

The shifter jams on me and i have to take the side cover off and use the linkage to put it in neutral to get it unjammed (Like and old pickup with 3 speed on the tree) how do i fix it so it dont jam.

Please help

I think what is happening is one of the levers on the transmission is jamming up because it is not fully shifting out of gear before you try and select the next gear. Take the nuts off of one end of the rods. make sure everything is in neutral. Now adjust the rods so that they drop into the holes exactly without putting any pressure on the rod ends in either direction. If that doesn't work out for you, you may need a new shift assembly. My friend had the same problem ...

here's a manual to help you out ,,, https://www.yousendit.com/download/UW16S3d0dENsUjlqQThUQw

      Trail Tire Valve Replacement
      By Gwbarm
      Have you ever been on the trail and your tire valve goes bad. No way to break down the wheel and replace it. A lot of you probably know about this already i had heard of it but never used one. Just punch out the old one insert and tighten down the nut
       

       

       

       
      So far it has worked very well.

      2 problems with 2000 Timberwolf 4x4
      By Tim Keiper
      1st problem, Does anyone know where I can find a stock carb for my Timberwolf, I have tried two different aftermarket carbs and they both suck. The machine runs great until it gets good and warm, then it keeps stalling unless I feather the throttle. it will even stall while I'm trying to go from 1st to reverse or vise versa. I took it to a buddy of mine who is a bike mechanic for years, and he told me try to find a factory carb. When I look online from dealers it says "NOT AVAILABLE" anyone have any suggestions ?
       
      2nd, The small tab on the rear axle for towing is to short for even pulling my small yard trailer, I can't even turn a little bit and hit hits. I tried making an extension which worked great as far as length, but it bends the tab and then the extension drags the ground. I have an idea of what to do to fix it, but wanted to see if anyone else has had this problem and see how you solved it.
