2016 Polaris pro s Switchback 800 electric start issues

[Cason Schmutzer]

I have a 2016 Polaris Pro S Switchback 800. The electric start will work if it has been sitting. Once I drive it and it the machines bounces around a bit, the electric start does not work at all. I'm thinking there is a loose connection somewhere. Any ideas?

Try cleaning the starter gear by manually extending it and wiping it down with some cleaner. They have been known to gum up. If that doesn't help Then I'd start looking at relays or anything else that doesn't like heat.

I also have seen some issues like this. There is a starter relay above the battery that I changed out. Seems fine now.

Keep forgetting these are the years with the garbage chinese relays. Search the older threads for the Panasonic equivalent that everyone is switching to and change all the relays in the sled.
