Switching my sand tires back to stock rims I noticed I had a stud that is messed up at the end. Just wondering if anyone knows if the studs are replaceable or do I have to replace the hub? I was in a hurry to play in the snow so I just installed the three lugs and called it good for one day. Now to fix it. 2016 1000Xxc.

Purchased a left over 2017 570 Touring EPS Last night. Will be picking it up on Saturday. Got $1000 off MSRP with it being a carry over, but all that did was cover sales tax, Delivery, set up, title and license. Got the 3500 lbs Polaris winch, and the front utility rack. Eventually I'll be swapping the BlackDiamond ATRs onto the Sportsman and putting the stock tires back on the Hawkeye. But I'll probably wait until after my trip to Utah to do that. Pics Saturday.

I bought an 03 sportsman 500, previous owner did a top end on it (including a new cylinder off of eBay), According to him the bike burned oil previously. Anyway, he said he was getting coolant in the oil after changing the top end. I'm a diesel tech by trade, so I'm familiar with mechanical stuff, the only thing I don't like is someone previously had this apart, so I don't know if something was left out. Are there any orings or anything like that involved in doing the top end? Can the base gasket cause coolant to get into the crankcase? Are there any links available about doing a top end with torque specs? Thanks

Can you guys tell me what the name of the plastic (I assume) part that goes in the center of the machine just below the front rack? It's an 03 sportsman 500, and was missing it when I bought it. From pictures it looks like it says Polaris on it. If anyone has a used one I'll take it?

Anybody have the manual for 2015 sportsman 850 sp? I am about to tear the bike down for some work and would like to have the manual for parts reference.
