Default Polaris sportsman 500 not engaging

Hello,

I got an Polaris sportsman 500 which when I was riding, it was acting like in any gear that it was in neutral. It starts and runs, the tranny is working, but it won't engage into any gear but neutral and park. Where would I start looking?

Thank you

Sounds like you need to check the clutches and belt out if the shift linkage is working properly.

Left hand side plastic cover has to be removed. Depending on your model you can download a free pdf manual here to help you.
Or if it's a later model,as cheap as 5 bucks here.Polaris ATV Service Manuals PDF Download
