Running tracks and adjusting speedometer and odometer?

[Clubin]

On my 20 ranger I bought a speedo healer it was set to 40% to adjust for the tracks. Is there any settings in the 1500 that allow you to do this?

I run tracks a good part of the year. If I don’t adjust the speedometer it racks the miles in so fast!

I haven’t seen any tracks for the 1500 besides the dura clutch brand. Which is a little rich for me for how little I’d use them. Doesn’t look like camso or Polaris have any available yet.

I have a set of Mattracks I had on my xp1000 that I bought the conversion kit from Mattracks for the xd 5 bolt.

I just sent these guys a email. They’re the guys I always used.

No new news. For us running tracks this sucks

Email from healtech below. Any one know where to access an online service manual?

We don’t have direct experience with this model and don’t have access to the wiring diagram to confirm compatibility.

If you can send the full Electrical Wiring Diagram/full Service Manual of the Ranger 1500 we can take a look and advise. Maybe your local Polaris dealer could help with that.


Kind regards,

I sent them a pic of the wiring diagram from the shop manual. This is what came up. I just ordered is and can not confirm it works. When I get it and install it. I’ll let you know.

I am looking forward to this, due to the 35"s when mine says 50 it is very close to 55

Do you think going to 32s from the stock 30s affect the speedometer much? I put the BFG km3 32" tires on. Wondering how accurate the speedometer is now.

It will be off a bit but it’ll be very little.

1-2 mph

 

[Woods Ranger]

Not enough to worry about. Thank you.

The stock 30" tire at 65 mph should read 65 mph, if you jump up to a 32" it will actually be doing closer to 69.33 mph. I also have the 32" BFG KM3's and they are likely more than 2" taller than the stock tires. That said at full throttle I'm sure I'm going at least 5 mph than what my speedo says, I confirmed this with a GPS several months ago. You can find calculators online that do the math for you.

Here is tire diameter calculator from Interco :

If you changed the size of your tires but didn't re-calibrate your speedometer, you'll want to know how far off it is. Use this calculator to figure that out.

Is there a way to re-calibrate the speedometer?

Well. I installed it. Set it up for 60% reduction.

This is what I can report. Speedo read as normal. It does not start good, check engine light came on, and I got a power steering fault. I power cycled the key a couple times. Tried it again same results.

I disconnected the wiring harness from the ranger and cycled the key. Restarted it it started fine, no fault codes. I’ve sent an email off to the manufacturer, I will see what they say, and report back. But as of now, I would say this is not going to work.
