1024 Sportsman 850 Tires! Tires?? Ummm Tires????

Newer owner to a 2014 Polaris Sportsman 850 H.O. E.P.S

Need mud tires. I really like the Intimidator tires but they only come in sizes that wont really work. The stock tires are 26x8x14 Front 26x10x14 Rear. Do I have to have the same size aftermarket tires? Nothing cool comes in those sizes. LAME


What about clearance issues?

What can I get away with?

What is going to be the best option not messing with gear ratios or none of that junk? Just mount and ride.

Garmin and GPX files

Not sure where to go with this one, but I have a Garmin Montana 800 and loaded the ATV trails off the Minnesota DNR site, seems to work.

I was on this site,
Northwoods ATV Trails Home Page
And they ilist a GPX file for your device.

I'm assuming that's the GPS unit?

If so, do I just load it into the Garmin and it'll come up automatically?

Garmin was no help so hoping somebody here knows.

Any other trails in MN I can load?

TIA

Al

Garmin just came through, now just wondering about any other GPX files for MN?

Repeated wheel bearing failure

Hi guys, been a while since I've posted but I'm at a loss here. The quad is a 2013 renegade 800r. The problem is I go through left rear wheel bearings like crazy. I only get about 100-200 miles from each bearing, and this is the only corner that does this. I've replaced all wheel bearings and the other 3 are in perfect condition.

I've tried oem bearings, all balls, cheap eBay brand, they all went bad at the same rate. I've put 3 bearings in the trailing arm since spring. I grease the bearings with a greaser, use a press to get them out and in, and tighten axle nut to 150 ft lbs which is spec.

The most recent replacement, I also installed a new axle and hub to determine if either of those was the issue. I got the same result. The first 2 bearings this summer were with 27" swamp lites, the most recent junk bearing is with 30" silverback mt2 with 1" spacers. This setup had no effect on the bearing as it went bad in the same time frame.

What could I possibly be doing wrong? Am I missing something here? In a Facebook post I read that someone had a floating hub to resolve bearing issues, does anyone know about these? Thanks in advance for the help!

Sunday Ride

Went for a nice Sunday ride just me and the wife yesterday. It was an absolutely beautiful day and we were able to explore some new trails and just relax. Even found a small lake that would be accessible only by ATV so we stopped and had lunch on a lookout.
