Can a Polaris Sportsman 400 go wide open?
I have a 96 400l sport that my wife or middle grand daugter rides. When the battery was junk and you had to pull start it no problem. After putting a new starter and battery in the reverse switch/rev limiter reared its ugly head. If you bypass the rev limiter and you break a throttle cable it will go to wide open throttle instantly.
Is there a reverse overide mod for Polaris Sportsman?
This mod will give you 4wd and full power when in reverse without having to push the override button. This is for all Polaris Sportsman models with the new style Speedo (2003) and Sp700, 02. Continue down below for pre 03 model instructions.
Can you run a Polaris Sportsman without the cover?
Sometimes, with the cover off and the engine not running, you can move the belt back to center, start the machine, and then get it in gear normally. But once you rev the engine to engage the clutch, the belt will move again. I don’t recommend trying to run the machine without the cover, very dangerous. You can post now and register later.
What’s the problem with the Polaris Sportsman Speedo?
This is for all Polaris Sportsman models with the new style Speedo (2003) and Sp700, 02. Continue down below for pre 03 model instructions. The problem with the new style, is that the function button for the Speedo is combined with the override button and it is not as straight forward as the old style Speedo.

What to use to test Polaris reverse overide?
Use dielectric grease at all electrical connections to prevent corrosion in the long run or even better, liquid tape. To test, simply put it in reverse with the engine running, if the Speedo flashes the word “SLOW” (just like it did before the mod, when you pressed the override button) you did everything correct.
Where is the override button on a Polaris?
Pre 2003 and almost all models that do NOT have the combined override/Speedo function button. Trace wires from the override button (gray/white & gray/orange) Cut the gray/orange and tape up both ends. Cut the gray/white and tape up the end which goes to the override button.
