Hey all,
I just went off the deep end and bought a couple bikes for myself and the wife. I got a 05 sportsman 700 and for the wife an 05 trailblazer LE. Just looking for advice and some pointers for these bikes. Will post Pics as soon as I can.
I have some questions for you all. First thing. My sportsman has a clicking rattling noise in the back right hand axle (I think) when I turn at low speeds and accelerate to put torque on it. It is bothersome and I hope that nothing is wrong. I also can not seem to figure out the small wheel selector on the headlight/handlebars that change the informantion on my display. will only show my rpms and will not scroll through any other settings.
My wifes TB is fine. Just want to wake the little guy up a bit. To doggy for my taste, especially for a 2-stroke. Was considering the RCR stage 1 kit for starters. Anyone have any input on these systems and any other cost effective mods that I can do for this bike. I want to get my sportsman able to wheelie too, is that out of the question or are there any modders out there that have a mean sportman that can get the front tires off the ground.
You guys rock and I look forward to sharing my experience with you all, that is when I have the experience to share. Just a noob now. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

 

Welcome to the fourms its nice to see another Tennessean. The click on your 700 might be a cv joint clicking you might need to take it back to the dealer and let them listen to it. Something might be wrong with your selector switch it should toggle threw the display mode every time you push the button. Click here for 700 wheelie pics.

Welcome.

The RcR stage one is the way to go on the TB, a pipe will really wake it up.

ATV 4 wheel action just did a 700 carb/efi shootout and said it will wheelie.
A higher engagment primary spring would help or a full clutch kit.

welcome to the forums..

have a good one

later

 

Deathbloom, welcome to the Polaris family. Yep, that noise may be a CV joint, I would have the dealer take a listen. In order to toggle through the information display press and release the reverse override button when in any gear but reverse. That wheel you mentioned you were turning is to aim the high beam headlamp.

Good luck

 

My SP 500 was making a rattling noise also and I later found out it was the CV joint when i was out in the woods and only the left rear would spin so I would have the dealer take a look at it ASAP.
