On a 2005 Polaris Sportsman 500, the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is typically located on the frame, specifically on the left side near the front of the machine, just below the handlebars. You can also find it on a label attached to the left rear fender. It's important to check both locations for the VIN, as one may be more visible than the other.
We have a 2005 Polaris Sportsman and have had virtually no problems with it. The previous owner is a good friend of mine, he bought it new and I know for a fact that he had no problems with the eight year old machine.
