NOTICE: RECENT RECALL ON MANY 2004-2005 POLARIS ATV's

Hi guys! Quaddawg here. I have decided to start a collection of articles, reference material, tips, trick and mods for various Polaris machines.

Instead of making a bunch of topics "stickies" I have decided to use this one topic to list links to other posts, links to web pages, sources, etc...

I will be happy to include anyone's tips, just post a reply to this thread, I will check it out and add it, deleting your original post to keep this topic rather short.



If I link to ANY retail source, I DO NOT work for this source, I list it only as a benefit to the members and visitor to this site, if any information I link to is on a retail site, I am not necessarily endorsing that site.


First off, for an online parts manual or Owner's Manual for your ATV, you can go to Polaris for a great parts breakdown with OEM parts numbers. Makes shopping for new or used parts online, MUCH easier. Also, when you know the part number you need, you can call your dealer and get a price and availability MUCH easier than trying to explain to them what you are wanting. Just click the link and enter your specific information at the top of the page

Parts Manuals (online)

Owner's Manuals


Next, Currently, this site has the cheapest prices for online OEM Polaris parts that I have found

That is all for now, feel free to comment, leave suggestions or otherwise improve this post.

I will be writing more articles as I think of topics. If you would like me to write a specific article, let me know, I will give it a shot!


Thanks for contributing!! Quad...

Some of your links are dead?
How did the gear shifter mod work for you?

I have a 2000 Sportsman 500, recently changed left tie rod and a-arm. The tires look close to being properly aligned but am getting some drift to the right. How do I string check it?

Check this out.
