Spent 4 hours chasing a no-start on my 2016 Polaris Sportsman

Turns out it was just a corroded ground wire behind the battery box - not the starter solenoid I replaced first. Anyone else waste a whole Saturday on something that simple?

My 2005 Kawasaki Prairie had the exact same trick hidden behind the airbox... I replaced the battery, starter, and solenoid before I found a loose ground bolt. Three weekends gone and $200 in parts for something that cost zero to fix... Makes you want to kick yourself, but hey, at least we know now.

...and then you find out the whole time it was a ground wire, same thing happened to me on an old Honda fourtrax. I'd already ordered a new carburetor by then.
