SOURCE: how do you line up timing chain,gear,and flywheel

try putting both cams down one tooth. i took mine apart and and drew a picture of the cam locations and they did not line up with the manuals picture. so i thought that my pic was wrong so i changed it to what the manual said, and it did what you said just back fired. so thats when i took it back apart to put the cam gears down one tooth so they looked like my picture that i drew. then i put it back togther and she ran great. you just want the left one just below and the righht just above if you see both bottom dots its not right.

SOURCE: polaris 500 sportsman awd not working

the usual problem with those is either the switch itself or the magnetic hubs at the front wheels
The factory service manual will tell you how to check both

SOURCE: Sportsman 500 HO, stuck in reverse

Solution#1 worked perfectly. It only took about 15 minutes all together.
the side panel removes easily. It just slides out of the other panel. Once you have removed the handle (Shifter) and the other two bracket bolts, just place it back into the shifter housing and move it around. I was amazed at how easy this was to repair. I also turned the ignition to the on position to see if it was changing gears and it was.
Solution #1 repost originally posted by Jpach
I tried this today and it worked. Pull the sideplate from the ATV so that you have access to the gear shifter assembly. Unbolt the gearshift assembly from the mounting bracket. There are two bolts at the rear near the two rods that exit the assembly and three on the bottom. When the bolts are out, remove the assembly from the mounting bracket. Hold it in your hand and move the shift lever through all of the positions. This won't actually shift the transmission, but it should free up the rods in the assembly. Remount the assembly with the five bolts and it should now be able to shift out of reverse.

SOURCE: Service manual for a 2006 500 Polaris Sportsman HO

I have a 2006 Sportstman 500HO ATV, EFI. Sometimes it will run 100% correct, other times it will start, idle fine but then when giving it throttle will will start to surge almost like it's hitting a rev limited. Sometimes it will backfire and stall. I already replaced fuel filter, flushed the fuel lines and gave it fresh gas and installed a new spark plug, but no good. I also checked the throttle switch and it's not making contact to stall it. I download the service manaul and tested each sensor and they tested fine which is probablt why I get no check engine light.
This ATV is mainly used to plow snow in my driveway, no salt. It's used around my property but very lightly. It's still as clean as it was when I bought it and it doesn't have but about 40 hours on it.

2005 Polaris 500 will not start even with either , but has a spark ? Need to start testing somewhere?

Check to be sure the Flywheel hasn't slipped on the Crankshaft - Take a look at the Cam Timing marks and make sure they line up at TDC Compression with the T mark on the Flywheel.

Polaris Sportsman 90 it bogs down/stalls. new carb. it will rev up in neutral. however when you put it in gear bike will only run for a few minutes and then stall or quit running. will restart .

Check the Flywheel key. It should be locked under the pull cord, where the stator is located. I will be a small piece of metal that slides into the spline from the engine and the stator. If it is worn the stator will rotate off the spline and the timing will be off, she won't start and if she does will be really rough and backfire, sputter and have power loss.

2005 polaris sportsman 500 clicks fast only in gear and moving. What could it be?

Check your u joints or CV joints. Does the clicking speed up when the ATV speeds up? does it click worse when turning? Is there a stick or something jammed up in there somewhere?
