I have a 2012 xp900, machine was running fine. Next day I tried to start the machine, it will not turn over, just a single click. I pulled the plugs out, and belt cover off, the primary turns freely. Is this a starter or solenoid issue? How do I diagnose?
Had the same thing happen a while back, x2 on checking your connections at the battery. Felt real dumb when I realized this was the issue so I gave all the connections a nice cleaning while I was there
battery is new, connections are fine. I jumped the solenoid and the starter wont turn over, makes noise but no turn over. I pulled the starter, bench tested it and it takes about 3-5 seconds to wind up to speed, I think I found the culprit.......
The Polaris starters are notoriously terrible. I replaced one in my buddy’s 800. Thought it was a bad battery at first. Do yourself a favor and buy the $35 one on Amazon instead of the $380 one from the dealer. Works great and the ratings/reviews are actually higher!
