2018 Textron Off Road Alterra 150 vs. Polaris Phoenix 200: By the Numbers



The Textron Off Road Alterra 150 and the Polaris Phoenix 200 square off by the numbers for the title of pint-sized off-road ruler.

Kids love ATVs just as much, if not more than adults do. The smaller-sized ATVs are a lot of fun to watch your little guys ride around on, but what about the younger teenagers who don’t quite fit the 16-year and up rule for the full-sized machines? There are some great options available to keep the kids riding and loving the sport. Textron Off Road has one in the Alterra 150 and Polaris keeps things sporty with the Phoenix 200. How do they stack up? Let’s take a look.

2000 Xplorer AWD Excessive engine smoke

Noticed that there is excessive smoke out of the exhaust, had to rebuild the water pump last year took apart the oil pump per the manual. Is there a way to modulate how much oil is going into the gas OR is there an adjustment on the carb? New head gasket and piston rings last year about 100 miles since then.

It really smokes!

Tires for 2017 570sp

Hey guys I'm looking for real world reviews and replies on the best tire for my 2017 570sp. I've been reading around the forums quite a bit and haven't found something that really works for my application.

I'm riding 95% of the time 2 up.
Approximately 15% on pavement/rock
10% mud
70% hard pack trail
5% in snow (plowing the drive)

I'm looking for something that looks good and will last. I think I want to run 27s, 9" up front and 11" in the rear.

I've narrowed it down to 3 tires that I'm between, although real world reviews will sway my opinion.

Zillas
Swamp lite
Mega mayhems

I really like the mayhems, they look sweet and have a pretty aggressive lug.

Any recommendations are greatly appreciated, also where you guys bought them, thanks!

What is Wrong with My UTV Wiring?



What is Wrong with My UTV Wiring? This is what a Polaris Ranger owner needs to know and he turned to the ATV AnswerMan for help.

Here is exactly what the reader asked the AnswerMan, followed by his response:

Quote:
I’m not sure what the issue is but if someone could help me that would be great. I have a 2010 ranger [800] and it seems to be having trouble running sometimes but not always. I Took it up to my hunting spot when I tried to unload it from the trailer it was idling rough and seemed very sluggish. It would jump around 1130 – 1100 rpms then go way down to 900 rpms. I finally was able to get it going and after roughly an hour it was still just lacking power and not idling well. Then it started dying on me before I went to load it back on the trailer. Has fresh fuel and no water in the gas tank. The dealer did the 50hr service on it with new plugs and stuff. Never had any problem with it idling before. For how much this thing cost me it should hold up way better than this. Please help.
