I recently picked up an RVS clutch kit for my 2017 sportsman 570 that I am getting ready to install and I had a few questions. What tools will be necessary for my install? I watched a few videos and understand the process, but I don't want to buy any more tools than I need to since this is prolly the only time I will use them. Can I install the primary clutch spring, shims, and weights without removing the primary clutch from the machine? And is there a trick for checking the clutch alignments while I am in there? I hear about the clutch alignment needing to be shimmed sometimes and I would like to check mine. I welcome any and all tips, tricks and advice before I tear into it. Thanks

Gents,

I have an issue with my EPS. As soon as I turn the ignition on, the EPS starts wigging out. It just sits and chatters until I grab the handle bars. Once I let go, it starts again. The relay up by the steering column was corroded so I replaced it, but it didn't make a difference. Any help is appreciated.

The atv is a 2011 Polaris 850 XP. Here is a video of what it's doing.
Thanks

So bought a 2011 500 ho carbed; a pretty basic model but tried and true; has more power than most will ever use and has off road capabilities beyond what most will use 95% of the time ... then theres the other 5% ...lol. So

Question is; with out mods it would be helpful to post problems you've had and I'll try to make a list below for all to future reference; ie I've hear at one point Below #1; (don't know if this is 100% true; but an example).

Problem; Year; Model; Solution; Cost

1- suspension bushings - were warring out prematurely with rougher riding; all years; all polarises; solution to install aftermarket bushing package $50.

2- Carb Problem - jet warren or carb fouled by ? 09 Sortsman 500 ho; replace carb needle & seat & jets; didn't fix; replaced carb in the end solved problem; $600 later.

Anyone know where to buy rad relocate for 2016 arctic cat altera 700 looked everywhere can’t find one my brothers looking to get one for his boy for Christmas any help would be greatly appreciated.

My 2017 Polaris Sportsman 850 SP only has 800kms and the front pinion cover is blown right out of the diff.. and wrecked the pinion gear and diff casing.. running stock tires and everything else is stock. I see on the website that these 850's now have a whole front replacement differential, instead of running diff #1333570 the new diff part is now #1333965 but I don't see a recall. Machine is still under warranty will this be covered? Has anyone else had this problem?

I just picked up my Backcountry Tracks. Here's a video with a little comparison of the Backcountry Tracks to my Tatou 4S tracks. I've had the Tatou's for 9 yrs & they have been excellent tracks. I hope the New Backcountry Tracks give me as much enjoyment.

Before anyone wants to tell I should of bought a sled, understand, I didn't want a sled. And I did not pay list price for the tracks. My dealer gave me one hell of a good deal. :th_smiliebanana2:

I will say this, it's gonna suck to go back to tires in the spring ... :eek

I'll be doing another video next week of the bracket installs & a few other things I've to prepare for running these Backcountry Tracks.

Now, I just have to wait for it to snow here. :sad11: ... :lachtot:

Hi Everyone. Looked through the threads but could not see a clear explanation of how to remove the CV from the shaft in order to replace the boot. I believe it is the inner that is to come apart, while the outer should not be dissembled. Does anyone have experience who can tell me the trick to get the CV off the shaft?
