The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) of your Polaris ATV is a unique number used to identify your vehicle. It is stamped on the frame of your ATV. On vehicles from 1997 and newer, the VIN is 17 digits. Prior to that, a VIN was only seven digits.
What year is y in polaris? That tells you what year it is. “Y” is 2000, “1” is a 2001 and so on. Just as important to you when buying parts and accessories for any Polaris is the model number.
What year did polaris magnum start? Starting in 1995 with the Polaris Magnum 425 4-stroke ATV and in 1997, with the introduction of the “twin 700” snowmobile engine Polaris started the development and production of in-house produced power plants, known as the “Liberty” line of engines, now found in many models across their current production lines.
When did the first Polaris ATVs start showing up? After 30 years of building snowmobiles, the first Polaris ATVs began showing up on dealer floors in 1985, throwing a wrench in an industry that up to that point was completely dominated by Japanese brands. Not only were these 1985 models the first Polaris ATVs…they were the first American-made ATVs.
What is a Polaris ATV? Polaris ATVs have pushed the boundaries ever since and the brand saw huge success with the venerable Sportsman 500 and its innovative front storage system. But when most people think of Polaris, the first thing that comes to mind is the RZR.

– Find the 17-character vehicle identification number on the frame of your four wheeler.
– Look at the 10th character of the vehicle identification number.
– Use the 10th character to determine the year model of the four wheeler.
Read the tenth digit. This digit represents the year that the ATV was made. For example, A=1980, B=1981, Y=2000, 1=2001, 9=2009 and A=2010. This letter or number can repeat (the “A,” for example), but the codes of the other digits in the VIN allow you to know in which year the ATV was made.
– On vehicles from 1997 and newer, the VIN is 17 digits.
– For Sportsman 400, 450, 500, 570, 800 and ETX models; 2013 Hawkeye models and Sportsman 6×6 models from 2011-14, the VIN can be found on the left rear frame (1).
So why is the light still on? Here’s something you probably don’t know: after clearing the car’s computer you will need to drive for about 50 to 100 miles. As you drive your car the computer will monitor all the sensors and register the results.
Check that the 10th digit matches the year of manufacture. From 2000 onward, it is a number, and before 2000, it is a letter. For example, a 1998 model will have the letter W in the 10th position. Determine the plant where the ATV was made with the 11th digit.
Interpret the 10th character to find the year the vehicle was manufactured.
The letter S is used for 1995, T for 1996, V for 1997, W for 1998, X for 1999, Y for 2000. The number 1 is used for 2001, 2 for 2002, 3 for 2003, 4 for 2004, 5 for 2005, 6 for 2006, 7 for 2007, 8 for 2008 and 9 for 2009.
Turn the ignition on and wait for the “service engine soon” light to blink and shut off. This will reset the light on your dash.
The flashing service wrench icon on a Polaris Sportsman’s speedometer can lead many riders to panic. In most cases, this icon is triggered by the engine’s hours of operation reaching a programmed interval, and it acts as a friendly reminder that your ATV is ready for a routine servicing.
Can you reset check engine light without disconnecting battery? You can reset the check engine light without disconnecting the battery by using an OBD2 scanner.
If you drive long enough after fixing the problem, the check engine light will on most car models go away by itself.
A Polaris ATV vehicle identification number, which contains the serial number, is typically on the left frame rail inside the left-front wheel well next to the fender on the right hand side. The last six characters of the VIN are the vehicle’s serial number.
The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is a unique 17-digit number used to identify your Polaris RANGER. Your RANGER’s VIN can be found stamped on the frame.

Insert the key in the ignition, turn the car on for a second, and turn it off for another second. Repeat this process three times. Once you turned your car on/off three times, the check engine light should go away by itself.

Use the SITE MAP page. nine0003 - If you know where it is installed, then use the assembly drawings on the official website of POLARIS CATALOGS and find its number. 
nine0003 On the pages of our site there are interactive diagrams of gearboxes, gearboxes, variators and other components. They will help you with the right choice of parts. 
(bring your equipment) In Russia there is a saying: "To fall in love is like a queen, to lose is like a million." Russians are not accustomed to half-measures, and if we have a desire to treat ourselves to something like that, then by all means the best.
For avid hunters and fishermen, an ATV is by no means a toy, but the most that is a means of transportation.
And they approach the choice of transport fundamentally, which is called taking into account their needs. For miners, it is extremely important that the all-terrain vehicle be reliable, not whimsical in operation, have all kinds of luggage racks and compartments for transporting various things, and, of course, that it be a two-seater. In a special favor among those who like to wander with a gun are powerful ATVs. It is understandable why. If you take a 500 cc machine now, ride it for a month or two, and you will understand that this volume is catastrophically small (especially when driving together) and the soul asks for something more. As a result, you will sell the unfortunate "five hundred" for nothing and - one goblin! — buy the most powerful ATV. nine0071
Of course, if you're hiring an ATV solely for picking mushrooms and berries three times a year, there's no point in chasing power figures. However, for the needs of seasoned hunters, when you need to climb into such a jungle where the tank will disappear without a trace, and then drag a large trophy in the form of a wild boar or elk from there, then horsepower plays a key role.
Polaris Sportsman Touring XP 1000 is equipped with a two-cylinder power plant with a capacity of 88 "horses". With a weight of 403 kilos, this two-seater ATV has enough power for the eyes. Even when you fully loaded the luggage racks and put a well-fed passenger behind you, these circumstances do not affect the acceleration dynamics at all. nine0071
How much "litruha" jump from the spot? Suffice it to say that this is the most powerful model in Polaris' ATV lineup. You step on the gas and it feels like the acceleration will never end. At the same time, the setting of the variator allows you not to break the wheel slip when starting off. For example, when during the test we drove into a swamp and stopped, such a gentle setting of the variator allowed us to continue moving through the mess without “burrowing”.
As we have said, the Touring XP 1000 is a thoroughbred two-seater. When driving in tandem, neither the helmsman nor the passenger feel any inferiority in ergonomics.
There is more than enough space for both. Although in fairness it should be noted that the passenger rides with great comfort, because he sits on a real soft throne with an additional shock absorption system. By the way, despite the fact that the hero of our story is a comfortable two-seater ATV, you cannot call him a clumsy limousine. Polaris has outstanding maneuverability, in the literal sense, it can spin like a snake between a palisade of growing birch trees. nine0071
A powerful engine requires the technique to strengthen all adjacent components. In particular, in order for the liter Sportsman Touring XP to endure all the hardships of Russian off-road with dignity, the manufacturer strengthened the front drives by 50% (in everyday life we call this part CV joints), added strength to gearboxes and gearboxes, and increased the performance of the brake system. Well, in order to easily “breathe” the motor off-road, I increased the air filter.
In terms of aesthetics, no matter how strange this phrase may sound, the "thousander" is also strengthened.
