Good video. Thanks for your determination. That bottom bolt is what's making me want to take it to the shop. But I see it can be done with the right wrench. Thanks for the inspiration.
@@abreubrian819 I removed starter, bench tested, its good. Now l tear down power head and ready for a total rebuild with new and good used parts. (I ran it briefly before tear down)
I think i would have taken the plastic belt cover off drilled a hole in rear panel as to fit a socket from my 1/4 in drive socket to get the right 10mm bolt out .then put a plastic body fender plug in the hole i drilled . easier than cutting bolt i think for replacement . you got it done and thats what counts . good job !
If the starter button doesn't work to start it but it lights up at the starter switch but doesn't start the starter so far I've been jumping solenoid and tapping on the starter for it to work the quad I do have is not a sportsman but it's a magnum 500 everybody says Sportsman and Magnums are the same but anyway my main question is where does it truly ground out at from the starter I know the starter needs to be ground but doesn't need to be ground to the battery or the frame?

Of the 6 I've looked at, yours is the best
Thank you!
Thanks buddy I appreciate you showing me the easier way to change that.
Awesome video! Getting ready to do this myself and I was hoping I wouldn't have to pull the clutches! Thank you sir!
Thank you. I was debating to take it in but, I’m going to attempt it. Im shure I’ll have to revisit your video.
Let us know how you make out!
Super, Sir, my 2000 Scrambler 500 from hard to crank to clicks now. Your video helps indeed.
That's how mine is as well it's hard crack and then clicks then it starts! Should I just change the starter?

Thank you for sharing
Is the starter is the same on a polaris 500 and a polaris 500 ho
Yes, I believe so.
Thanks!
On my 2005 500 HO the clutch cover vent wraps up over the gas tank, would removing the air box allow access to starter? thanks
Not sure on a 2005. But the more you can get out of the way, the better.

It grounds through the motor/frame. Sounds like a bad solenoid to me. Does the solenoid click when you hit the button? If not, probably the solenoid.
Whats a good online site to buy Polaris 500 Sportsman Parts? I am tired of using Amazon
This one I use a lot. www.ebay.com/str/fixmytoysonline
Is this the same configuration as the 2004 600 sportsman.? Is the clutch cover a real challenge as well.
I think they are a little different. Yes the clutch cover can be a challenge with the footwell in the way.
I HAVE 02 EXPLORER 400, CANT FIND INFO FOR PULL START SIDE

GREAT !! Thanks I think the odd sound is the Bendex not releasing Have you had to replace it since this Vidieo?
No, it's working properly, just a bit noisy. And it's still working well.
Take air box off 700 change starter in 10 .ins
