I just sold that exact model 2001 scrambler 500 4x4. i had it for 4 years and it was a maintenance nightmare most of the time. When I purchased it (for 2000) It needed a lot I didnt realize as well. new primary clutch,belt, breaks, master cylinders, caliper, petcock, tie rod ends, wheel and axle bearings carb kit and tires. Always ran great though..... Had it up for 2000 on marketplace ( all fixed)ended up letting it go for 1500. Good luck I'd run but I am nowhere near as skilled as urself.

My Mom's ex husband used to have a 500 Polaris scrambler, it was prolly around an early 2000s model and looked similar to that one, maybe a little more sportier, it ran pretty good. I think it was a 2 stroke, I could be mistaken or he didn't know what he had but I'm pretty sure he said it was a 2 stroke. It didn't sound like a conventional 2 stroke like a 250R or any others but it was an automatic and wasn't a racing 4 wheeler so it didn't scream but I don't remember it sounding like this one. But I rode it a couple times and I liked the fact it was an automatic, makes trail riding more fun.

400 were 2 strokes the 500 were 4 strokes if I remember right, been a long time.. had a few with bad transmissions (must have been common as I had a couple), or the 4WD didnt work (like this one). pretty easy fix (4WD), taking the transmission out not so fun.
