Vehicle Information
Polaris Scrambler 500 ATV (1997-2012)
The Polaris Scrambler 500, produced from 1997 to 2012, was a popular sport-utility ATV known for blending performance with off-road capability. It primarily featured a liquid-cooled, single-cylinder, four-stroke engine, with a displacement of 498cc or 499cc. This model was offered in both 2x4 and 4x4 configurations, with the 4x4 being the more common variant, utilizing Polaris' On-Demand All Wheel Drive system. Throughout its production, the Scrambler 500 saw several key updates. A "High-Output" (HO) engine was introduced around 1998-1999, enhancing performance. A more significant revision occurred in 2010, bringing a beefed-up steel tube chassis, improved suspension and braking systems, and ergonomic updates including new handlebars and a re-contoured seat. The fairing and fuel system also received updates, with the 2011 and 2012 models largely carrying over these enhancements.
