Frequently asked questions

Which Polaris Scrambler 500 years share parts?

There is no single year range you can assume shares every Scrambler 500 part. PirateMX covers model years 1997 to 2012, but electrical, engine, body and drivetrain fitment can change, and the 2x4 and 4x4 have separate parts pages. Check the fitment chart for your exact year, make and model before you order.

When should I choose a used OEM Scrambler 500 part instead of a replacement part?

Choose a used OEM part when you need an original assembly, mounting points or body piece and the note on that part shows it suits the repair. A new replacement usually makes more sense for wear and service parts such as batteries, chains, seals, bearings, pistons and rebuild kits. Buy brake pads new. In either case, check fitment for your exact year, make and model.
