That noise is comeing from under your handlebars. In the steering shaft there is rubber that when it gets wet it squeakes. I have the came prob. I have a 05 polaris sportsman 500 ho. i spray spray silicone in the steering shaft.If you look under the pod spray it where the handlebar thing turns on top of the steering shaft. It will then go a way for a little bit then it comes back. Either replace rubber or just keep spraying silicone ow w-d 40. (its cheaper)

Whats the trick to loosening the top strut mount to get to the bushing? Where you need the 2 wrenches, I can't get it to budge. I sprayed pb blaster and still won't. Is it ok to use a impact on it?
Its a nice machine, but the little things are enough to drive me nuts though. I can only hope to make it better.
I ride with 3 other 08 500 sportsmans, mine being the only efi. So far all of them has needed breaks, 2 needed flywheel keys. 2 torn boots, 1 rear master cylinder. All of them the drive selector is a pain to use.
