Most likely the speed sensor by the right front wheel.

What ATV do you have mabe the speedo cable broke. We have two SP500s one with wheel sensor the other with cable.

If your AWD also is not working then the speedo is shot,there the newer ones with a wheel sensor. A backwards improvement on Polaris's part.

Than the
SENSOR,HALL EFFECT
4010298 is shot or the wire from it to your wheel is diconnected. $40.83 from this place. OEM motorcycle and ATV parts from Honda, Yamaha & Polaris – Cycle Parts Warehouse
Mine has not worked for 3 years to lazy to change it. Only your Hour meter will work without it.
