For many models, there is a tube from the engine block that ports fumes back into the air box similar to positive crankcase ventilation. The idea is these fumes get sucked back into the air stream to get burned on the return loop. If your oil level is too high or you are riding really tough, some oil can be burped into the air box. Check your oil level, replace or just clean your prefilter/filter. We use fuel in the field to clean the excess oil it when this happens and just give it time to dry....If the bike shut down as a consequence, you may need to clean the spark plug and/or use a carb/fuel injector spray to remove in line gunk.

SOURCE: ATV RUNS BARELY SOUNDS LIKE IT IS EXHAUSTING BACK THROUGH CARB

Check the cam shaft. The exhaust lob is the weak spot. They will wear down to nothing.

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.

The screw on the brake caliper front break is leeking Tried to tighten it but it doesnt work. Do I need a new caliper? This is for a 2011 4x4 Polais 500 Ho.

If that is the bleeder screw, replace it for 2 dollars because the whole caliper is 215 dollars
