2016 sportsman specs show same specs motor as the 570, but in 2017, they used a different/new motor in the 450. It is a 500cc 33hp. The 2016 had the "de-tuned" 570 motor.

i have a 1999 polaris xc 500 and I'm trying to find out if the cylinders have a nikasil coating on them or are the able to be honed or bored if necessary for over sized pistons ? I believe it wasn't until the 500 xcsp came out they had the plated cylinders but I don't want to find out the hard way ,mine is the first year of the liberty engine as I know the Fuji 500 in the previous indys were boreble iron lined sleeves any help would be great !

Does anyone know what this strap is? This is viewed from the left front fender.

Thanks,
Tom

Sorry for another skid plate thread, but I've done a ton a research and have it narrowed down to brp plastic or ricochet aluminum skid. Most of the threads I found are a little older, so wondering on the newer g2s are the brp full skid improved? I like the idea of plastic and look better but ricochet seems to be liked by everyone, and it seems gen1 brp skids weren't liked all that much. Thanks

Hey all,
We purchased this about 1 month ago and we have 420 miles on it. Yesterday we went on a 26 mile trip and while accelerating the drive belt exploded. Of course I didn?t have a spare. My buddy was at camp and went to a store and bout me two so I now have a spare.

Anyway, I was crusing along after the belt change to break in the new belt not going over 40. All of a sudden I looked down and the engine light is on and it is in limp mode. I stopped check oil, air filter, wiring etc. and everything seems fine. I started it and we were on our way. The engine light cleared and then came on a few minutes later and we were back in limp mode.

I checked the engine codes and it says there are none stored. I am taking it to dealer on Thursday i hope they can fix it. I will keep you updated. Rant over

Hey fellas,

I'm puzzled with this one, I have a 2008 Outlander 650 at. Bike worked great till the other day when I went out for a ride. Basically anything over half throttle and 42mph or so it misses and almost dies at times. Here's what I did so far, changed plugs, new coil, new fuel pump and filter and still nothing so I checked the timing cause there known to jump from time to time but all is good! So my question is does anyone have any more idea on what it could be? Also there is no p codes showing.

I have a 2015 maverick xxc with about 900 miles on it When I checked the oil the last time it was low so I added some and I checked it about 2 weeks later it was low again can someone help

Wondering if anyone has any input on the hmf or big gun exhausts for the 570. If like a deeper tone then the factory I know it's not going to be a performan gain just want it to sound meaner. I'm not a fan of the exhaust mod because from what I can tell it only hinders your performance once it's under water and I don't want that. I'm also curious as to how they run without a tune the only person I see tuning them is rvs and I can't get a reply in here from ryan.

I've went from rebuilt carb, new plug, pull carb on and off to clean several times. I have been able to get it running but eventually problems arise hard to start, bad idle, flooding etc.... here is where I am now.

I can start it but immediately it starts to wanna flood out. If I hit throttle it just bogs it down. Any ideas?
