question about sportsmans
The first diff with the centralized engagement came on the 2002 sp 700. There were alot of problems with this. I personally blew up the roller cage in mine. Replaced it and at the same time polaris had made a change in the 2003 diff with a different part. (the armature plate) I put that one in, and no more problem. The newer ones have the new plate, an adjustment on them, and the newer ones yet, 2007, have the front drive shaft comming into it at a different angle which I was told reduces vibration and static elcetricity/friction.
My mechanic told me it happended because the excess vibration and static electricity would engaging the magnet in the front diff even with the power/electric current turned off to it with the switch which would thus engfage the AWD with the switch in the off position and rear tires already spinning at 30+ mph.
Just what I was told a few years back.

No, and I have never heard of anyone doing it. Just what I hear from my mechanic. Is a little allen had screw on the right side by where the input shaft goes in. I think they added it in 05 or 06.
