OEM starters go for $400-$500. Aftermarket $30-$50. Anyone have any experience with the aftermarket starters?

Polaris dealers will rape you. Buy an aftermarket on Amazon and you can return it if its no good.
Polaris dealer got me $80 for a filter and 2 qts of oil.

Replaced my 2004 Ranger started with a aftermarket from amazon, that was 2017, good so far. at the time, I think it was about 60.00 bucks. Don't what year your working on, but my carb went, 600.00 for an OEM if you can find one , rebuild kit was 40.00

Whats wrong with it? Take it apart and check the brushes. Aftermarket brushes likey only $10 range. Recently replaced them on my honda Foreman.....just a thought

How far of a walk back do u have if it doesn't start?
Price one from Rick's. They are an electrical company that rebuilds motorcycle and atv electrics. I think new hampshire? I used them all the time when I worked in bike shops. Never had an issue.

I had a 2007 Polaris ranger 500 that I put a brush kit in at about 600 hours. It was still working when I sold it last year with 900+ hours. I had to replace the starter on my Suzuki atv because the magnets came loose. Local dealer sold me a Firepower brand replacement for around $120.

Thanks for the replies.
