Have a 2000 model sportsman 500 with a non- functioning digital speedo. Four wheel drive and the back-up govenor also do not work. It is my understanding that all of these functions go throught the speedo. Any way to repair or do I need to replace the speedo unit? Very poor engineering if you ask me! I'm new to the forum so any help will be appreciated. John

Have no fear! There is a easy rewiring trick to bypass the speedo and have a normal operating AWD. I do not know it off hand, but use the Search feature on this site with the term "Speedo" and you will find many post about it.
Yes it was a retarded move by Polaris to have the Speedo involved with the AWD operation, especially since some Polaris models have no speedo whats so ever and use the same AWD system.
