I have been thinking about adding a 12 Volt accessory plug to my sled. Has anyone on here done this or know how to do it? What is the output voltage of my sleds electrical system? I know i can find it myself, but every time I remember to check, my sled and a multimeter never seem to be in the same place at the same time. I was just wondering if I have to put in some kind of voltage rectifier to go from AC to DC, or some kind of transformer to step down/up the voltage. Thanks in advance for the help.
By the way, not that it should matter, but the sled I was thinking about doing this to is a 2001 polaris (not sure if the electrical sytems of all the types of sleds is similar or not)
On the side of the machine down by your left foot you will find a 3-4 wire connecter.
Looks like the flat trailer type wiring connecter.
Their should be an empty female bullet type connection to a yellow wire. This is 12V positive. Buy a male bullet connector and simply plug into it.
For ground I just used the little bolt that holds _________ (not sure what it is) that is in the same place. Just unscrew the bolt and attached the necitive wire to it and tighten back up. It's just a chasis ground.
Hope this helps. Again it's in the foot well area on the left side up by were your toes would be if you were riding.
It helps if you remove the black plastic shroud around the fuel tank. You'll need a torx bit to remove it.
This yellow wire that you connect to is Polaris' factory hook up for an electric shield which is 12V +.
Hello everyone, I recently bought a 2015 polaris indy 550. I want your guys opinions on these sleds. I’ve heard the ones with the edge chassis were unreliable but I think the newer ones are more reliable correct?
We tried the group meeting last year and nobody showed but the breakfast was a hit. Anyone up for meeting again this year before the chaos begins? I will probably be coming up with Mark and Dave and going to Big Boy before we get there so if anyone wants to join us here is your invite.

I have a 2002 MXZ 700 RER Sport with Boysen reeds and MBRP can. I ride in temps from the teens to low 30”s too me it seems like it runs rich. What is my stock jetting and should the jetting be changed for the kids? If so to what?
I am sure the Thundercat is one....but what else is a fast sled.
I have a v-max 4, and now want something faster.
Please tell me what years to keep an eye out for also.
Thanks.
It wasn’t long ago that we were at the Wawa Motor Inn, just north of Sault Ste. Marie, sitting in front of a warm fire after a day of boondocking in Northern Ontario backcountry. Read More >>
