r/Polaris

Here's what's new:

Spark plugs

Pedals

Fuel pump (im at 58psi exactly)

Fuel line

Oil flushed and changed/filter

Here's what is fixed/verified to be good:

Air filter

Throttle body

Valve lash

As far as I can tell, injectors are firing, but i have no way to test pattern/consistency.

Vehicle wont start without pressing the throttle in, and it just wont idle under like 1600rpm.

With that problem, and the things above, any information on what to do next would be very much appreciated.

Thanks.

Is there any good replacement fuel filter to get more than 10 hours out of. And is there any aftermarket kit to cut out and install a flap door in place where fuel filter is located so that You Don have to halfway disassemble the machine to change it?

I have a 21 Ranger XP1000 that I'm planning on doing a service on. I've had it since new and have been reluctantly putting the polaris stuff in a few times a year, but now in between jobs, want to go good, but cheaper options.

Oil: I always have T6 on hand for my truck.

Front axle: still have a few changes left in a jug bought from polaris. But don't mind getting something else.

Rear/ Trans: I'm open to options.

The dealer near me isn't always open or have a whole lot in stock majority of the time as well, so trying to source stuff locally and soon-ish isn't always an option for OE. I've been goggling for answers and get a myriad of this and that, but for all sorts of generations and different machines. I appreciate any insight from y'all.

The machine has some hours and over 4k Km on it by now, no major work or issues. A few belts here and there, just regular maintenance for my adventuring and would like to save the cash where I can

Hey all, I'm the lucky 3rd owner of an 04 sportsman. As far as I can tell, early not mid year release. The previous owner had it pretty caked in mud, radiator was plugged, fan definitely couldn't move, etc. They said the gauge pod flashed hot as soon as you started it, the choke cable was stuck, and there was an axle issue. I stripped it down and replaced most of the rear suspension and axles, relocated the radiator and replaced the temp sensor. The radiator had almost no coolant in it so I thought maybe that's why it flashed hot immediately (I didn't realize it was *immediately as soon as it started).

So long story short it's all back together and the gauge still flashes hot immediately after it starts. According to what I found online it could be a grounded out sensor lead, and ECU, or a blown inline breaker. I don't see any evidence of an inline breaker on the fan lead. I unplugged the temp sensor and the hot warning didn't go away so the sensor isn't the issue. I don't see any relay or anything an early year 04 is supposed to have so maybe it's a .5? There's an aluminum finmed box that I assume is the voltage regulator, and another black box above that that's probably an ECU? But no fam relay, no breaker, or anything else. Direct 12v to the fan turns it on so that's not an issue.

There's no rubbed wiring harness I can see. What else might cause the immediate hot warning on the gauges? Could it just be an ECU issue?

The fun thing about taking on a 22yo quad is having no idea what's stock and what someone cut out or changed along the way.

Just cleaned the carb and drained all fluids on my son’s 2005 Polaris Sportsman 90 with oil injection. We haven’t owned it for long, and wanted to do things the right way moving forward.

The ‘05 manual calls for (Polaris) VES II 2-stroke oil for the injection system, separate from the gearcase oil.

I don’t mind spending the money for the Polaris brand oil, figured I’d play it safe and follow the manual. The current VES formula on the market which supposedly replaced the former VES II and Gold synthetics advertises for snowmobiles (seemingly exclusively). I can’t imagine that’s ideal for off road riding in July.

What do I use for the oil injection system? Hoping to hear some tried-and-true rec’s. I know I’m probably crazy for even considering the Polaris brand due to the price.

Thanks in advance

Ok well I was trying to fix stupid but stupid won! Now I have a bent A arm on my sportsman 570 and dealers say on back order, maybe October, November. Any ideas where to get one? I’m in the interior of British Columbia (Kamloops).
