When i go to start my sportsman, it'll crank, start, and the starter wont stop.. it continues to crank for 2 secconds to long... if i dont hold it long enough, it just wont start...
it seems to work better in N or Park then in drive...
is this normal?
thanks, erick

The starter is engaging the bendix ,which engages flywheel. When starting,blip throttle and bendix will kick back eliminating noise and excessive wear on bendix. If bendix still engaging too long,may need to remove recoil housing,grease bendix. Hope this helps.

That is what I was seeing when I picked up the wife's 500 as well, even asked on here about it. General consensus was, "that is normal on a 500"
I have to admit the "trick" posted by Old Polaris Tech makes the most sense and coincides with how a 500 seems to start up vs the 800. The 800 of course being two 380cc cylinders and firing on every revolution spins up lots faster from starter to idle.
That big one lunger "500" has to go around twice to produce a power stroke or acceleration of the crankshaft rotation. so it takes a bit more for it to get "up to speed" as it were which would disengage the bendix.
Thanks Old Polaris Tech, I'll give that a try.
