Hello everyone, I am a new member, old guy with a few toys and a lot of questions.

I have been riding a Sportsman 500 since '02, and enjoying it immensely, but have recently stepped up to a Ranger, '07 XP, 700. I like the machine, and have had some great experiences and rides. I am also a hunter, and decided to try a soft cab(polaris stock) for the Ranger this winter for an elk hunt. While I appreciated the warmth and shelter from the elements(snow and sleet), I found a problem that I thought perhaps someone on here has had and solved. The doors do well at protecting one from the weather, but are not user friendly. The "latching system" consists of what seems to be a battery box cover tie-down rubber bungee/metal hook arrangement that is difficult to open or close, due to the positioning of it, and the door opens similar to a normal vehicle door, causing exiting problems due to the side safety bar. Has anyone else had this problem and did you find a solution? Any help would be appreciated.

      Where you like to ride and what riding does for you?
      By BuckBilly
      I like to ride in wooded and grassy areas. It takes my mind off the everyday routines and helps me deal with my father's cancer. Also gives me a reason to get involved with forums like this one.

      1996 Polaris Sportsman 500 4x4 Issues with high gear
      By Sportsman500guy
      I bought a 1996 Sportsman 500 4x4 about a month ago, and I love it. Unfortunately, I've been experiencing a few problems with the high-range gear. The first problem is that the gear selector will intermittently pop out of high and into neutral. This problem will sometimes occur when starting from a stop and sometimes will also occur while at cruising speed. The last time this happened I stopped and put it back into gear, however, as soon as I tried to throttle the machine would die. I turned it on again with no problems put it back into high and it died again. Once again I turned it on with no problems put it into low instead and it worked fine with no problem. I drove in low down the road slowly for a little and then shifted back into high with no issues. 
         I plan on working on it this weekend and would just like some opinions or feedback from anyone who may have experienced these problems before. I'm very mechanically inclined but im unsure of exactly where to start as this is the first Polaris ATV that I've owned. Any feedback is appreciated and thanks in advance
