Did you try and adjust the rockers? The cam wears and the rockers need adjustment after a while.

What heatshields do you have by your right side where the exhaust pipe goes thru to prevent overheat

I had same exact noise and it was heat shield to lol.

i acually think 1 of the cam shaft lobes is worn down and making the dull tick . it is a very common problem for 500 sportsman .

the bike im working on does the same thing but it goes away after a bit

Primary or secondary clutch.

My starter bendix gear only knocks under acceleration. Has been doing it since 1,200 miles. I now have 2,000 and nit any worse.

Did you find out what it was

I think it's the starter Bendix gear

My 07 450 does that sound but only for a little bit after I start it and it just quits

That’s the exact sound that my 2002 magnum makes. 😔

My starter Bendix makes a noice just like that but for only 2 or so seconds when just starting my atv

I did. I even ran it with the starter out. I ended up selling it but I believe it was the balance shaft.

Sounds like a bad rod or main bearing.

NATHAN JOHNSON , good idea but I took it out and ran it and had the same noise. It's gone now... sold it.

She’s done

yeah the engine is gonna blow up soon it's a race going out and it blows thecasting out

its coming from the crank area. It's the balancer shaft. THey put junk bearings in the balancer shaft. You'd have to split the case and rebuild the whole damn thing. Just go with a Honda.

@@bryanmiller9324 well that sucks. Sorry to hear that. I’ll be posting a video of my own soon on diagnosing this noise and how a top-end replacement fixed my issue, at least. All we can do as a Polaris community is combine our knowledge to try and avoid these very unwanted fixes!

Hello Sir can you tell me what the finaliment problem was? I'm in the same situation as you friendly

starter bendix $30.00 cheep fix

Flux Capacitor

its the starter easy 80 dollar fix

It is rod slap you will eventually need to build the top end for any future wonderers common problems with them old sportsman's sorry for the let down.

Sounds like the clutch to me. Maybe the hootinator valve? Could try doing a laser sweep on the crystal diodes? How many gigawatts of power is the flux capacitor getting? Should be 1.21

Ha ha, you're just kidding. It's clearly the balance actuators on the rotary girders divided by the rotational spacer weights on the automatic clutch shaft.
