ok i am looking into buying a sportsman soon after i sell my scambler but i just read a few topics about the clicking awd and stuff. i drove a few but never drove ehm that hard. iv heard that if you spin the back tires alot and they spin to much faster than the front the front will kick in? is that true. that is stupid if you ask me. you would never be able to do a donut on the ice or anything? wouldn't that do damage if you were spinning the back tires and all of a sudden the front just clicked in? I would think that that would tear up all sorts of stuff. is there any downfalls to the sportsman besides that? thanks.

 

If you wanna sit there and do donuts you need to take it out of AWD and put it in 2 WD..

yea i know that but some people are saying that in 2/4 if tehy spin teh tires to much in the mud or something it will all of a sudden click into 4/4 even to the switch is still in 2/4 how many people have this prob is it easy to fix is it not a problem but just how it was dezined. how much work and money does it take to fix this if you do it yourself?

 

my 2004.5 600 does that sometimes. it only does it on ice though, never in the mud. don't know why it does it?

 

Could it be because your rear wheel speed is much quicker spinning on ice than in mud?? Just an idea...

I've heard of a story where that happened but not sure why but it was on ice....I thought the excessive wheel speed had something to do with it but not sure..
John

 

that sounds reely stupid to me that could break all sorts of stuff

 

I'm not saying that it's supposed to happen.. Sounds like an electrical malfunction..

i don't reely plan on doing any donuts on my sportsman amyway and if i am ever going to spin the tires alot i will put it in 4/4 i have the polaris sport 400L that i am keeping if i whant to do donuts.

 

Sorry I wasn't too much help.....I told you just about a story that I heard...It never happened to me...
