What's this vent?

What's this vent?

I was looking at a used 2019 Polaris 500 today and I noticed a bluish type smoke coming from this vent. What is this vent for and what could that be?

Polaris Ranger not turning over

I have a used Ranger that has been having small problems here and there. Last week I replaced the battery and ignition key switch because the battery wasn’t holding a charge and the key wouldn’t turn past the on position to start the engine. Since then, I ran the machine a handful of times but it took a while to turn over, and sometimes required a couple blasts of starting fluid. Now, even starting fluid won’t get it to turn over.

I’m not sure if the sound that I hear when I turn the key to the on position is the fuel pump, which I hope would indicate that that isn’t the problem.

Could it need new spark plugs? A problem with the exhaust?

Please help me diagnose this🙏

The zero percent financing non-event!

What a joke-
Decided to buy a new Polaris General when I saw the latest offer from Polaris. Can’t beat 0% right?

Called the local dealer in Halifax and verified with the one in Moncton they YES they have the one I want and YES they have 0% - BUT I forfeit the discount rebate of $7,500. I said the current offer is a forfeit of only $3,000. But Dealer said, we have a better discount and you can finance at 9% (higher than any other companies btw) to get the advertised price.

So obviously there is NO 0% offer because who’s going to give up $7500 ?

So insulted by this idiocy!

Need rebuild help

I got a 1990 trail boss 250 over the weekend and it had about 60 psi for compression. Took off the head, cylinder, and piston head. Should I replace the cylinder or should I be ok running this one with a new piston head, rings, and gaskets? Also what’s a good cheap kit to use? Thanks in advance

This is a bit long, but I'm looking for advice/tips. Bought a 2026 Ranger XP 1000 Northstar in February. Noticed it had a small leak at the end of March. I called the dealership and was informed it would be 3 weeks before they could look at it. OK, not ideal but I'll survive.We parked it as we did not want to do any damage. Dropped the unit off on 4/23. Two weeks later I called said dealership and was informed the parts would be here ​this week, and we should have it back before the weekend. Today I got a call saying that actually the parts are on back order, and not expected until July 15th. The dealership seemed nonchalant and said something along the lines of their hands were tied.

I immediately asked for contact info for a territory rep, but they seemed unlikely to give out their information. They gave me a case number and advised I call the polaris customer service number.

I then called Polaris, and the person I spoke with was aware of the issues, and again said its likely to be awhile. I was told to call the dealership, and have them start the process of a vehicle down order, to try to expedite the parts. Annoyed (this should not be my responsibility to have this started), I called the dealership back and relayed the message from Polaris.

I was told they would see what they could do, but dont get my hopes up.

I have significant amount of experience dealing with manufacturers and warranty situations in the outdoor power channels, and have never heard of a situation with such a long delay. Potentially 4 or 5 months down on a brand new 32k dollar machine is unacceptable. I love the machine and I am not afraid of legal action if necessary.

Any tips out there? Advice on who to get ahold of at Polaris?

Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙏

The plug for my display is damaged, one yellow wire came out the plug completely and I am not sure which number/pin it belongs in. I can’t find a schematic.
