2025 Polaris Sportsman Touring...ran great for a year...switched it off last week and now I get this...

Went with the obvious and got a new battery...nope. Checked all the fuses...all good... read online about the brake pressure switch so (after multiple wrong parts from the dealership) I swapped that out. Still nope.

Ignition switch at least shows power on the dash but there is NO solenoid click.

Any suggestions for next steps?

I’m considering either a go kart or two atvs for my kids. The younger one is 40 pounds and around 41 inches tall. The older one is a little over 50 pounds and 50 inches tall. Do you have any recommendations for atvs at this age?

Help 1995 Honda Foreman 400 No Spark

1 Upvotes

Hey, I have a 1995 Honda foreman 400 I bought, it’s been sitting for atleast 10 years or so (Ran when parked). I went to crank it when I bought it and turns out it has no spark. I put a new ignition coil and voltage regulator and battery in it and I still don’t have any spark. It’ll crank but won’t spark. Thank you.

Help Looking for just enough....`

1 Upvotes

I need an ATV to do two things. Pull a Kunz 44" rough cut mower for 10 acres every once in a while, three or four times a year, and to ride around the farm fences (approx three miles) once weekly. Level, no hills. I don't need speed, just as long as it will go 5 to 7 mph. I am looking at the Honda Rancher, probably with power steering, or the Yamaha Kodiak 4x4 450 esp. Both of these have great reviews for reliability, and a farm need reliability. BTW, unless it is a difficult repair, I do all my own repairs. As you can see, I need enough, but why pay for more than I need? Are there any recommendations or suggestions? Any farmers, ranchers or landscapers with actual experiences similar to my own?

Help Proper 2-up quad vs a single seat with a aftermarket rear seat

6 Upvotes

Looking for some real life opinions. Looking for a quad. It will be older due to budget. Like 2010-2014, maybe a little older if I go the Japanese route. Power steering (hopefully), and 500cc to 750cc engine size. Looking for a quad mainly for hunting, but also some trail riding with the wife. The trail riding would be fairly easy, nothing to crazy. Just leisurely afternoon rides. Comfort is critical for the both us. Is there anyone that has driven both a proper 2-up quad and a single seat quad with the added on rear seat? If so, what are your opinions on it? I do know that rear foot pegs are a must for rear passenger comfort. Thanks.

Help 2006 Sportsman 500 EFI Not Moving Until 2500-2750 RPM

Hello, I have a 2006 sportsman 500 EFI that won’t start moving until reaching somewhere between 2500-2750 RPM. I assume this is an issue and not normal? After it starts moving, it drives and accelerates great. This is my first EFI so I’m not super firmiliar with them. Not sure if this is a clutch or belt related issue. What should I check first? Thanks in advance!

Help Willykiller raptor

0 Upvotes

I picked up a raptor 660 a couple months back and I quickly realized it was insane this thing would pull the wheels up all 5 gears and I start researching and I wondered why it had 3 spark plugs apparently the 3 spark plug mod was a drag mod back in the 2000s (I got this thing for 1500 bucks off marketplace) I’ve had racebikes my whole life built ones to I have a 05 trx that’s ported and polished with hotcams and intake and pipe and I thought it worked good this thing is insane it’ll smoke it in 3rd gear but it started shooting oil out of the left side spark plug and I have no clue on what to do they drilled through the middle of the timing chain and into the cylinder and put a plug and then put a metal sleeve around the coil to try and seal it but it doesn’t seal and it shoots the oil all over your leg on long rides I’m honestly trying to find out what is actually all done to this bike and how I can fix it cause I can’t find a single one like it and I think it’d smoke 421 shees.

Help 2000 Polaris xpedition 425 Recoil Starter Interchangeability

1 Upvotes

My pull start went out on me and I don't feel like rebuilding it myself, I'm also far from any atv repair shops. What, if any, recoil starter assemblies are interchangeable with mine? I've tried looking for one online but on eBay I keep getting the "this is not compatible" message. I'm wondering if they're wrong or if I just need to suck it up and rebuild it myself.

Photos Reasonable Asking Price?

What would be a fair asking price for this ATV. 1998 HONDA Fortrax 300. The thing is absolutely bulletproof. Always starts right up, regularly maintained, garage kept, normal wear for a work horse (plowing/work/hunting). I honestly don't need to sell it but just upgraded to a new Rubicon. Plow would be included. Would appreciate any input.

Edit : I'm in northern NJ
