  If your Polaris Offroad Vehicle engine turns but doesn't start, there could be several reasons. First, try installing new spark plugs and check for spark. If there's no spark, consult your dealer. Another reason may be that no fuel is reaching the engine. Ensure the fuel valve is on, the fuel tank contains fuel, and check for ice in the fuel line, filter, or pump, and if so, add isopropyl alcohol to the fuel system. Poor engine compression could also be the reason, which indicates a major engine problem that must be repaired by your dealer.

  Poor low RPM performance in your Polaris Offroad Vehicle can stem from several causes. A worn drive belt may be the issue, so inspect and replace it if needed. Excessive belt/sheave clearance or a sticky clutch could also be the reason, and you should consult your dealer in these cases. Also, poor fuel quality can contribute to this problem, so ensure you're using 87-89 octane fuel.

  Nancy MoodyAug 29, 2025
  If your Polaris Offroad Vehicle fails to move, there are several potential causes. The clutch might be jammed due to a twisted belt or broken spring. Check for these issues and consult your dealer. Another possibility is a jammed track, where a foreign object may be caught, or the rail slide melted to the track clips due to lack of lubrication, or the track may be iced up or frozen to the ground. Lastly, the chaincase sprocket or chain could be jammed or broken, possibly due to a loose or broken chain or a loose chain tightener, and you should consult your dealer in this case.

  If your Polaris Offroad Vehicle engine is continually backfiring, it could be due to faulty plugs, which should be changed. Another cause might be related to the fuel system, where dirt or ice could be present. Make sure to add deicer to non-ethanol fuel to prevent fuel line icing. Finally, incorrect throttle freeplay or a faulty switch could be the reason, and you should consult your dealer in this case.

  Noise in the drive system of your Polaris Offroad Vehicle can be attributed to several factors. It may be due to broken drive clutch components, bearing failure in the gearcase, jackshaft, or front drive shaft, a loose drive chain that needs inspection, adjustment or replacement, or a worn drive chain with broken sprocket teeth. Flat spots on the drive belt surface can also cause noise, so inspect and replace as needed. For issues related to broken clutch components, bearing failure/gearcase, or worn drive chain, consult your dealer.

  If your Polaris Offroad Vehicle engine doesn't turn, it could be seized, a result of poor lubrication, inadequate fuel supply, broken parts, or improper cooling. Consult your dealer. Another cause may be hydrostatic lock, where fuel has entered the crankcase while the vehicle was standing or being transported. Consult your dealer to correct the cause. Drain plugs are located on the lower crankcase for emergency draining.
