So I am a fairly new Polaris owner and picked up a 2013 sportsman 500 HO this past weekend. I talked to a buddy who has had several sportsmans and he told me to be aware going in that the engines were noisy. But this just seems like a knock to me and I want to get more opinions from people who use these machines often. Here are a few videos, engine is warmed up and outside air temp was 57. Oil was just changed and was primed properly.
New Renegade 1000R owner
I just purchased a new left over 2016 Renegade 1000R. I am curious what the difference is between the 1000 engine they put in the Renegade vs. the 1000 engine they put in the side by sides? Why does the side by side 1000 engines have 101hp and the Renegade 1000 have 89hp? Not that 89hp on a quad is not enough but just curious.

Glamis Black Bag Project Launches Initiative to Preserve the Dunes

Is "pack it in, pack it out" too much to ask?
Venture to almost any public riding area immediately after a holiday weekend and you’re likely to find piles of trash, water bottles and empty beer cans left behind. In high trafficked areas like Glamis, California, the amount of refuse left behind is disturbing. While this behavior is detestable and no doubt a significant factor in the closing of popular riding areas, a group of Glamis regulars have launched the Glamis Black Bag Project as a way to encourage people to practice good stewardship of the dunes and take their garbage with them.

Help wanted on purchasing Outlander 650XT
Hi,
I'm new and looking to purchase a 2014 Outlander 650 XT off craigslist. It was a repo and the current owner says he's put about 100 miles on it. The winch switch is missing and the winch itself is disconnected. I figure for about $300 I could put a new one on it. When I test drove it everything seemed fine. Didn't see any leaks or signs of abuse. What do you think? How is the price?

Thanks,

New owner of a 1000 Outlander
Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum. I had a 660 Grizzly and decided to get a Can Am. Just wanted to ask people what they would recommend for tire size and brand. Just something for trail riding, hunting. Also any upgraded that you'd recommend I should do. Thx

Digital Gauge to LCD Gauge Conversion
Im running a late 2011 XMR with a digital speedo gauge. You would still class it as a Gen 1.
The early Gen 2's have the same digital speedo gauge do they not?
You can also upgrade the early gen 2 digital speedo to the later Gen 2 LCD speedo gauge from what I have seen. So as I have the later Gen 1 digital speedo does anyone know if it is at all possible to change it out for the Gen 2 LCD speedo?
I do note that I am a few wires short so a few things may not work. Can we guess what might not work and if I can get around it in BUDS?
