Hi, new to the forum. I own a 1999 Sportsman 500 use it mainly for hunting. I'll be posting and asking for advice on some problems I'm having with it. Hope to help others also as I do most of my own work on my vehicles.

Question about the Can-Am HD Springs (part# 715003199). Does anyone know if they will fit on my 570 XT? According to the website it says base model 570's, or XT's with a 650 engine. Doesn't makes sense that they would fit the base model but not the XT! I'm looking to just do the front, to help with the sag while plowing. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Started up my quad this morning loaded it up with no issues.. got to the park started it up and unloaded it no issues..got on the trail, went up one hill, down another and started up another.. was waiting on a buddy to catch up and decided to shut it off to wait. he caught up and I went to crank it.. Nothing. Display comes on, pump primes but the starter doesnt even click.. checked the connections everything is tight.. Anybody else had this issue?

So my quad will be parked in an outdoor shed. It won’t have the luxury of a heated garage to help it dry out after use. Also it’ll be a 4 season machine. That being said what are the thoughts on undercoating it with a few cans of Krown or rust check?

My brake fluid cap on my 2017 Sportsman 450 H.O has been leaking because somehow the brake cap fell off while riding. Wondering how I would go about fixing this and if I could go to Polaris and buy a new one or not?

I’ve got a 2013 outlaw 50 that runs and revs well but won’t go more than about 5 mph. I read on another post that it could be the secondary clutch not engaging the belt properly. So this morning I opened everything up and there was a lot of corrosion in there so I took everything apart and cleaned it up and put it all back together and I still have the same problem. The belt still looks brand new. What else could be causing this problem? Could that clutch just be bad? Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!

I am looking for some help with insurance. I am buying a new unit this spring and going to insure it, do any of you have recommendations in what kind of insurance to look for, good companies to work with or ones to avoid?

Like with auto insurance there are components:
Liability if you damage someones property or hurt someone else.
Comprehensive to replace your vehicle in case its stolen, vandalized, damaged by fire...
Collision to repair your vehicle if it is damaged in an accident.
Medical to pay for if you are injured.

Does the same apply for ATV's? Are there special waivers or coverage's a person should look for?
What about if you dump your quad in a lake or stream, is that covered? I know in some cases if you drive a car on ice and it breaks through or you intentionally drive into a stream and gets flooded you are S.O.L. does the same hold true for ATV's?

Sorry if this seems like a dumb question, just want to know what to ask for before I talk to an agent.


Thank you

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to this forum.

I have a new 17 - 650 XT, I had a 2010 800XTP before and kept the wheels & rims, 27x11-14 & 27x9-14 Swamplites, Do i have to do anything to the stock clutch to run these ? Thanks in advance.

good day, i am currently fixing an old 2003 rally 200 for my father. I do not have access to special bombardier tooling, and was wondering if somebody would have the thread pitch/type for the special tool # 529 035 883 , it is actually the bolt that comes in the magneto puller PN 529 035 748.

tried searching the forum without chance! thank you very much!
