It sounds as though your ignition switch is not hooked up correctly. Follow the harness from the ignition switch to the bullet connectors under the front body plastic. Make sure the colors all match up.

SOURCE: My polaris sportsman 570 will not start when I put the key and I have power to the lights on the dash but the engine will not turn over. I did turn it off in gear accidently.

If engine does not turn over you need to see if the starter is getting power and if it is any good. Also look for an inline safety switch for the starter that may be stuck in the open position and not allowing the electricity to enter the starter motor.

No power to four wheeler Polaris sportsman 400 4wheel drive

Check the battery terminals for connection. Check the fuse box to see if power is getting to the fuses. Check to see if the starter is getting power from the ignition switch. Make sure the shifter is in N. Move the shifter back and forth while having the key in the start position.
