If you’ve been looking for a chance to score a brand-new UTV, Polaris just launched one of the most unique giveaways we’ve seen in years. To celebrate America’s upcoming 250th anniversary, Polaris has announced its Celebrate American Heroes Giveaway, offering one lucky winner a custom-built Polaris RANGER CREW XD 1500 NorthStar 1776 Edition along with an all-expenses-paid trip to Nashville, Tennessee. The giveaway isn’t just about winning a side-by-side. Polaris is encouraging people to nominate someone they consider an American hero—whether that’s a veteran, first responder, teacher, volunteer, tradesperson, community leader, farmer, healthcare worker, or simply someone who makes a positive difference every day. Entrants can nominate themselves or someone else by sharing their story and submitting a photo. What’s Included? The grand prize is a highly customized RANGER CREW XD 1500 NorthStar 1776 Edition featuring: Exclusive 1776 commemorative graphics and badging Custom American-themed design package JBL 4200 audio system 50-inch LED light bar Rear winch Additional factory Polaris accessories All-expenses-paid trip for the winner and a guest to Nashville, Tennessee to receive the vehicle in person at the Polaris Dealer Meeting. According to Polaris, fewer than 100 of these special-edition 1776 models will be produced, making it one of the more unique RANGER builds we’ve seen from the factory. Why the RANGER XD 1500? The RANGER XD 1500 NorthStar sits at the top of the Ranger lineup and is designed for serious work and recreation. With its enclosed cab, heating and air conditioning, premium comfort features, and heavy-duty capability, it’s become one of the most talked-about utility side-by-sides in the industry. Whether you’re using a UTV on the farm, around your property, hunting, trail riding, or for work applications, the XD 1500 is one of the most capable utility machines Polaris has ever built. Entry Information The giveaway is open to eligible U.S. residents 18 years or older. Participants must submit their nomination story and photo through Polaris’ official entry page. Polaris is accepting entries through early July, with the winner receiving the vehicle at a special event in Nashville this August. https://www.polaris.com/en-us/off-road/sweepstakes/celebrate-american-heroes/ -
You need to do some checks before pulling the electrics. Resistance test of stator 3 Ph "Y" connection...3 heavy wires coming out...all the same color. The 3 windings have common connection at the center.....just like a Y. Measure the resistance from A to B.......B to C.......C to A. None are marked....you label them (in any order you want) with a marker on the pigtail connector.. Resistance will be under 1 ohm and most meters don't start at "zero" when the test leads are shorted. If your meter starts at say 2.3 ohm with the leads shorted.....expect a reading around 2.8 between pairs at tested leads. Check for Shorted stator windings (A B C) to ground......go to your highest resistance scale.....should read OPEN. VOLTAGE Live test....motor running at idle.....Meter to AC VOLTS. Voltage output (Leg to Leg to Leg) should be in the 30 VAC to 50 Vac (at idle). Increase throttle to half speed.......expect a higher output voltage....say 80 Vac. Be careful as this can really ruin your pants. CURRENT Load test......motor at idle. Using a 120 V "banned" 60W incandescent light bulb for the load, connect to the A-B, B-C, C-A terminals on the pigtail. light should glow.....bump up idle-----brighter. You cam blow (over voltage) the light bulb if you go too high on the Rs. If the above tests are good.....and you stated a new voltage regulator-----you need to check for the Regulator wiring connections. +12 Vdc lead from the battery. Use a test light with a 12 v bulb. I changed one over with a old Chevy dome light (these get hot...remember how the snow would melt off the roof if the door lock iced up and the door stayed "open"). OR make one for a 2 A load from a brake light bulb ----1156/1157 bulb with a socket and pig tail leads will work. Connect one lead to the Neg battery lead for this test. Check the test light circuit by probing the other lead to the + battery post.....bright. Move to the Regulator + output (heavy RED wire) Move the test lead to battery connection at Regulator....bright again.....HOT side wiring is good. GROUND lead from battery. Same as above but connect to the Battery POS terminal this time. Tap the NEG terminal....bright. Tap to the frame/motor case......bright. Move the test lead to the Regulator Neg (BLK) terminal.....should be bright. -
just an update....we did have a first ATV ralley and planning the 2nd for this summer. We are still looking for fun ideas. -
Have to go to the tube for small engine stuff myself but, have you made sure the -wires- are ok? Sometimes the connections can corrode all the way down inside the wire. I've had to replace a few over the years on different stuff, you would be surprised on how far down the wire the corrosion goes. Granted the machine isn't too old but you're talking overseas suppliers. There are probably other brands on these forums that have similar issues so if you haven't already you might do a search for the same issues? May not be the same motors but they all basically use the same charging system./ Just throwing my 2 cents worth in......... -
I had been driving for about 15 minutes, everything fine. All of a sudden the engine was surging, losing power, would run with 1/2 throttle or greater and was backfiring badly. Luckily I was close to home and got it back. The tipoff to me was that I thought I was hearing intake noise. Sure enough, the rubber boot which connects the air cleaner and intake piping to the throttle body came loose. Obviously the computer was confused. It turned out to be an easy fix, but this is now added to my inspection list. Just thought this might help someone else.
