Hello,
Last September we bought a 570 Sportsman EPS for my wife. Brand new, 0 miles. Since day one, we have had battery issues. So I replaced the factory battery with a sealed battery from Advance Auto Parts. Completely charged the new battery prior to install. If the bike sits for more than a day, this battery is also dead. There are NO aftermarket electrical accessories added to her machine. Only new wheels and tires. Only thing not factory on the electrical system is a battery tender plug connected to the terminals under the headlight. I have the plug connected to the ground post (far left looking at the bike) and constant hot (far right looking at the bike). The middle post is unused.

What could be causing this battery drain? We turn use the handlebar on/off/on switch as well as using the key.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

I have a 2017 Can-Am Outlander Max XT 1000 and have a question about the high/low beam headlights. When I switch the high beam on, the low beam bulbs turn off. Should the low beam stay on when the high beam is switched on? I can't say for sure if it was like this from day one or not because I haven't noticed. I do have a friend with a 2014 and both high and low beams are on when high beam is switched to the on position. Is there a problem with the switch or somewhere in the circuit? I know they changed the switch at some point, not sure if it was 2015 or 2016. Thanks for any input.

Guys im looking to put front and rear bumpers on my 2010 Sportsman 550. I have been looking at some and these one seems to be the best. Im trying to avoid the plastics cracking or breaking.

ive come up with this one so far polaris 2876102-418 is $119.95 i cant seem to find a rear that will protect the lights and side?

Thanks!

pics would be helpful!

Hi, I have a question re: which type of fuel I should run in my HD8. I have been running non-ethanol 91 octane, but wondering if it's necessary. Are these engines designed to burn 87 ethanol blended fuels??

So I bought a 2014 can am xmr outlander 1000 this past week. Love the bike. Now for the problem. It has the air ride suspension. It works in the rear all the time. The front works when it wants to. I don’t see any leaks. Is there anything I can do other than buying new shocks? The bike has 800 miles and 110 hours. Also what’s the cheapest way to delete the air suspension? What shocks work?

Hello guys. I’ve been looking for an polaris to fit my height-weight. And i checked 570 sportsman and 1000xp’s dimensions , then realized they were almost the same. It goes like this;

Polaris 570 sportsman
2108 x 1219 x 1219

Polaris sportsman 1000cc
2114 x 1209 x 1289

I have questions about these,
I’m 5’’9 and 105 pounds. (Woman), so i dont actually need the most powerful engine and i dont think i can be able to use it anyways. Im just wondering that, if 570cc and 1000cc’s are the same looking vehicles, why are there huge price differences? Just the torque, performance? If cc only means the “engine size” im gonna go for the 570 . But if these dimensions are facts and they are actually looking the same, im not going to consider cc’s and buy the 570. shouldnt 1000cc be bigger? And why are they literally the same? Thanks!

Hi guys, you have probably seen this done a million times before but I added this 12 volt waterproof socket to my 570 today. I figured if I needed to charge my phone when I'm out hunting, so I installed this to keep my phone or whatever else is charging out of the elements rain/dust/mud. I attached it to the side like that because there is nothing in behind there to interfere with.
