I have a 500 sportsman, I love the quad but it has a issue. it is slow to turn over when cold. The starter is remand and the stoke battery has been removed and replaced with a larger lawnmower type battery. I did this because the charging system cannot keep up with the winch when I am plowing snow with it. I has plenty of battery power. ANY ideas?

I have one also. There was a recall on them for the computer. It controls the charging circuit and I had the same trouble with it not charging the battery. Call the place you bought it and ask about the recall. Mine was fixed for free.
mine is the carbed version, I dont think it battery because I can put it on a charger and it still does it.

Mine is also carbed. Mine was doing the same exact thing. Where did you buy it at?
It was used what year do you have?

Mine is a 2005. You may want to call a Polaris dealer and they can check to see if yours was recalled and fixed or not based on the serial number (VIN if they have it, have not checked).
