I live near 100 Mile House, there are trails in every direction around here. It's kind of rocky and slow going around my place but there are many lakes to explore.

Howdy from the still frozen Cariboo - 100 Mile House, BC

On some of those older Yamaha's I found those relays located under the back fender, near the taillight. Really not the greatest place to get access to but worth checking out if you're still looking.

I suppose you could try the one that's still available, it might work - worth a try, right?

Actually, the number you wanted was this one. https://www.ebay.com/itm/286748237462

I responded to your other posts and see that a limiter is what you're searching for. I don't know if the part being one number off makes any difference. There is a used one listed at PSN I'll send a link for. I've used that company before and they're legit. https://www.powersportsnation.com/polaris-xplorer-400l-4x4-98-rev-limiter-lr44-2-400-4060203-42046.html?srsltid=AfmBOorEyMmNpOvJURwCCgkADhqR-7vwISUUr6ZG7kRAHwTZSPYwFxU9#:~:text=Polaris Xplorer 400L 4x4 98,SKU%3A 2194284

It's possible that your ETC (electronic throttle control) is acting up. They cause issues when the throttle cable isn't adjusted right. Those limiter modules are also known to fail. That's the black box thing next to the ignition coil. I seem to recall that unplugging the black wire would bypass the system (not sure if this works on all models). If you can try another module, that might help in diagnosing this.

How'd you make out, working better yet? Just consider that the belt itself can be to blame, try another one & see if that helps.

Hard working Grizzly with lots of issues, barely made it off the trailer (and only in reverse)!

Check for a leaking intake manifold, could be cracked or missing an o-ring??

I live just north of you in BC, Canada and Polaris parts are really overpriced up here. I needed a steering knuckle for a Sportsman ATV and the price was over $600 Can but is only half that in US dealers. Too bad they don't sell across the border, rules forbid it (same as BRP). In the end I bought a used one from Power Sports Nation in Norfolk, NE which was around half of new $. Even with the dollar difference & shipping/taxes, etc. I was way ahead by using them. Highly recommended and their inventory is Huge!! Check out their website, excellent service. Hope this helps.

Can't say for sure but it's possibly from the one way bearing that's connected to the engagement clutch that works with the drive clutch. You'd need to pull the drive (primary) clutch first - the one mounted on the crank that turns the belt. In behind is the clutch/bearing that runs in oil which does the engagement. They are known to wear out eventually.

It sounds like the drive (primary) clutch is getting hung up somehow and can't move properly. I've seen bits from a broken belt get into the sliding sheave bushing making this happen. You'd likely need the proper clutch puller to get it off to clean & inspect.

Here's a suggestion for pulling a stuck axle out of a diff. I use a regular 6' tiedown that I wrap one end around the axle & the other is wrapped around a large hammer/sledge hammer handle, just below the head. With everything lined up right, you can swing the hammer which yanks the axle with more force than just pulling by hand. Give it a try, what's the worse that can happen - right?!
