I recently bought a used Polaris Sportsman 500 H.O. and love it! However i am new to ATV's and rolled it over. I want to be able to fixi it myself because the place i brought it to wants to chargs $600 for what seems like simple work.

I think i can fix some of it, but i have some questions. Any help you can give would be awesome!

My damage:
My speedometer broke, and i know it costs a lot, but found a cheap replacement - Is it easy to replace and how?
ATV angle drive fluid needs replacing - This seems easy, but where is it?
Premium HUB fluid - same deal where/what is it
AGL/ATV Gearcase lubricant - sounds easy to replace, but how/where?
Small in-line filter - assuming the gas line?


The rest i think i have to pay to get done like the handlebar and fenders, but any i can do myself will save me much needed money!


Thanks,
Shaun

 

All that is easy stuff even the handlbars, youll see when you go to replace the speedo.
You just have a few wireing harness plugs here.

You need to get an owners or service manual to find the drain plugs and fill levels, they are not just "top off".

You can get the onwer and parts manuals onloine at..

I 100% agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! buy the book!

 

I third the manual suggestion. Also go to the Polaris website and download the parts manual. It's free, and it's a great companion to the manual.

 

Fine the part number you plug it in here for price or look up the model here and then act like you are buy the part. The web page will show you the part number.

Now for the BIG question.....

What did you do to roll your 700 pound machine?

Man, I am constantly amazed at what people do with their ATV's!

 

I hit a gulley and a wierd angle too fast and it just popped the machine around. I was surprised at how quickly and easily it went.
