Polaris Sportsman 500

[innocent_bystander]

Well out at holeylands this weekend my 4 wheel drive took a dump. A 700 pound 2-wheel drive quad dont do too well in the mud. After screaming and yelling, and wondering how much this was gunna cost me, I tried to start my quad. The battery was dead.

Well after I jumped my quad, my buddy just happened to have ATV jumper cables which was very cool, my instrument panel didnt work, and neither did the 4-wheel drive. I was wondering if the battery was the problem. Does anyone have an opinion, or any experiance? Im getting a new battery tomarrow, gunna see if it fixes it.

I've read that your 4x4 will not work if your speedo goes out.  That may just be out due to lack of battery power..but if it's out with new battery, you will need to replace the speedo...that will get you from 2x4 to 4x4.  So, it's not as bad as you think...you should only have to replace battery.  Good luck and let me know what it was so I can watch it on mine too!

It's a Polaris Aee!

From my experiences with Polaris problems, which is many, they don't like to get wet. Most of the time they work fine once dried out. I'm going to the Holey Lands Saturday. If your there I'll pull you out
