Yesterday, I went for a little ride, and the shifter got stuck in low. The position of the shifter looked to be in neutral or high, but the bike was actually in low. I could not get it to change from the position it was in for several minutes. The next time I stopped, I tried again, and it finally moved. Worked flawlessly as usual for the remainder of the ride. Has anybody else had this problem? How was it remedied? Was it a one-time thing, or is it for sure that my bike will start doing this on a regular basis? Thanks in advance.

 

I have had mine get in a bind before and it corrected itself like yours. I was riding with Tony H. and His SP335 got jammed into low and we couldn't get it out until that evening. I was repairing a Yamaha while Tony and Sumthin4nuthin repaired the shifter. They had to take the shifter apart and it was in a bind. They also found that it needed to be greased??? Anyway, the whole process only took 20 minutes and his has worked flawlessly since. Sorry, I am not much help. I didn't watch the process or see what had actually happened.

Greg,
Thanks for the response. Last night when I got home from riding, I took the top off the range selector, siphoned out the fluid in it, and refilled it. I'm not sure what caused the problem, but maybe it won't happen again. I just talked to a polaris service guy, and he said he has seen 2 that have done that this past year. He said that one of the linkages needs a little adjusting due to the shift box "breaking in". I'm going to call my local dealer and see what they have to say.

 

My SP 500 HO has developed the same problem..It started acting up after I had belt trouble .I had a hard time shifting then and might have pushed to hard trying to shift it..I will check out the sfifter box..thanks
