I have a 2005 polaris sportsman 500 ho and my speedometer stop working. Any help are suggerstions would be great. Thanks

 

wheel speed sensor called the hall effect sensor most likely. same thing is wrong with mine. good chance its that, or the wiring to that if the awd still works.

 

need a little more info. saying it dont work is kinda wide range.

dose the speedo tell u ur speed? if not its most likly the right side hall sensor. located on the brake disk bracket. you can test the hall effect sensor with a 9v battery and a led.

dose the display function? if not it would most likly be eith a power, ground, or and igntion wire.

4x4 work? the awd indactor light come on? if not could be the switch, or the speedo. if the indacator light dose come on. it could be the wire to the speedo, or the other side of the coil wire going to the sure module that controls the other side of the coil wire.

the worst case could be the speedo has crapped out on ya.

 

if it's just the speedo not reading speed and everything esle works then maybe sensor is the issue.

 

On my 03 700 Sportsman the speedometer works fine but the miles dont change..What would cause that?

 

not sure if that would be a mechanical odometer in which maybe the gear or rods are not letting it spin over the mileage?

 

No..not mechanical..digital..trip mileage and total mileage does not increase but the speedometer works fine.

 

don't know what it would be if the speedo is working and milage is not then unless it reads milage other then the speed of the bike thru the wheel sensor.

 

Yeah..it is very strange. Why would there be 2 different sensors for speed and mileage?

 

My 02 speedo does not work. how do you test the sensor?
