Default polaris sportsman 500 h.o moves by itself in gear with no throttle

i just put a stator in and the quad creeps by itself at idle and the shifter gets stuck wheni put it in 1 and try to go to reverse or just high gear to reverse. any sugestions. and i was wondering, my front right tire never spins when it is in awd. is that normal? its a 2002

Default rpm

what is your rpm @ idle? As for front wheel spin. As for my Scrambler and the sportsman 400 I had. Both of the front wheels spin.

there a post just like this one a few dayts ago you may want to check out. also no it's not normal for 1 wheel not to spin while in awd. have you changed the hub fluid lately?

If both front wheels do not turn at the same time you have to look into it. Here is a link on how to maintain the 2 hub awd system.

im not sure what the idle rpm is. does anyone know why the gear shifter would get stuck putting it into high then reverse. but it really gets stuck in low then trying to put it in reverse

You take of your side covers and there you will see two linkage rods you can adjust from the shifter to the tanny.

if your belt is still engaged making it move (creep) in either direction that is putting pressure on the tranny making it very hard to disengage it form any of the gears. it should only be ilding around 1200 rpm's
