  If your Polaris Offroad Vehicle experiences front end push, check for worn skags. Also, check for binding front suspension shafts and steering components, grease all pivot points (elevate front of machine). Verify the sag dimension (see set-up decal). Adjust torsion spring blocks or install optional torsion springs to achieve correct sag dimensions. Increase IFS preload (premium only) (see page 44). Move the limiter strap on the front torque arm to the high position (see set-up decal).

What to do if my Polaris 2005 RMK 900 engine turns but fails to start?
- A
  Alyssa CochranAug 23, 2025
  If your Polaris Offroad Vehicle engine turns but doesn't start, the issue might stem from several causes. First, try installing new spark plug(s). If the engine still doesn't start, check for spark. If there is no spark, it is recommended to SEE YOUR DEALER. Another potential reason is no fuel reaching the engine. In this case, check the fuel tank level and refill it with the correct fuel. Also, ice might have formed in the fuel line, filter, or pump, so add isopropyl alcohol to the fuel system. Finally, poor engine compression can be a cause, indicating a major engine problem that needs repair before running the engine, so it is recommended to SEE YOUR DEALER.
