This video will demonstrate how to, and how relatively quick it can be to remove the plastics from a 1999 Polaris Sportsman 500 and similar models. While I know its not practical to pull your plastics off for most basic repairs and maintenance. I have a few things to do on this machine and it'll give me the opportunity to really go through it. And an opportunity to show viewers some things with an unobstructed perspective. Hopefully helping some things make more sense. And make it easier to visualize what you're digging for, when you're doing stuff with the plastics on. Or maybe you're just here to see how to take yours off. Either way. I hope it's helpful. And check for the other videos I've made while I have it apart. I cover fixing the AWD, Speedometer, The rear brake, Recoil or pull start handle and/or rope, as well as some other things while it's all apart. If you find them helpful. Feel free to subscribe. Many more to come.
