Default 02 Polaris sportsman 700

My bike is moving in gear at idle with no throttle. And I've done tried adjusting the throttle cable and that wasn't the problem. So if anyone out there know anything about this I will appreciate it. Cause hunting season is in and I need a vehicle to get to my location

Sounds like the belt is moving over on the one way bearing in the front clutch and the belt is touching the inner sheath.This just puts pressure on the drive clutch making them hard to shift and causes creeping. If the bearing has a lot of side to side play probably time to replace the metal and fiber washer in the drive clutch. Items#2 and 18. Plus if the motor mounts are worn or broken they can cause the clutches to get out of alignment causing the same thing. If the washers are replaced make sure the belt tracks in the middle of the one way.If it doesn't the rear clutch can be shimmed out to help. Look at this post also. On the 500 but had the same problems. https://atvconnection.com/forums/pol...-creeping.html

Will it be alright if I just buy another primary clutch, because I've experienced this problem before. And if I'm going to fix it I might as well buy a whole clutch

I don't know why you would want to buy a whole new clutch if it just needs a couple of washers, but it's your money. I saw a new one on ebay that cost over $500 but you should be able to find one cheaper.

Default Bike won’t start by switch

My bike won’t start by switch, but it will start by touching both posts on solenoid. I’ve changed starter, solenoid, ignition switch, and my hi/lo beam, and kill switch thing on handle bar, but still no sound when turnt over by switch.

Use a meter or test light on the small wire leading to the solenoid from the ignition switch. If it's not powering up when in the start position,sounds like you need to trace it for a short. I don't have your year model manual but on the 2005 700 the wire is a white/red.
