I see a lot of jumping on the video reviews of the 2017 XP1000 solo units. Apparently they feel the frame has been strengthen enough to allow this without concern. (I believe 1 of the members her stated they reinforced all the main frame areas that had been weak in 2015 with the exception of the aarm tabs.)

I would really prefer to have the extra wheelbase of the touring for solo riding...but am wondering if that is still weak as it uses the older pre-2017 design. If I move back to a traditional ATV, I think I would still like to catch a couple inches of air from time to time.

I also wonder if for 2019 they will move the solo re-design into the touring version with the 3 way throttle, integrated storage, sculpted plastics etc...but that is probably a discussion for a different thread.

Hello, I'm new to ATVs and new to the forum.

I bought a new 2016 Polaris Sportsman 570 EPS last year. I'm not a hardcore rider at all. I live on acreage and just use the machine for tooling around the property and odd jobs. I think I have 40 some miles on it.

I park it in my pole barn and have always placed cardboard underneath it. Lately I've noticed a leak (I believe oil) coming out of the one drain tube on the bottom of the machine. It's not gushing or anything, but is quite noticeable on the cardboard. And actually, it keeps leaking days after use. Like a week after I last used it, it was still leaking. I checked the oil and it seems like it's still full.

I've tried searching the net and of course there's a wide variety of responses, just thought I should come to the experts. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm supposed to go look at a set of Commander tires and wheels this afternoon. Tires are Big Horn 2.0 27/9/14 and 27/11/14 and are from a 2013. My 2013 Outlander currently has 26/9/12 and 26/11/12 tires any one for see any problems with this set up? Don't want to buy them if it means having problems of any sort.
Thanks for any input.

Buenos días amigos:
I am retired and now living in southern Mexico. There have been suggestions made to me by members of this forum (but in a different section) about changing out our tires on our 2017 Outlander 1000. ATVs are street legal in Mexico. It has been suggest that I put on 8 ply hard surface tires. Not knowing anything about ATV tires, I have some questions. Hope you guys can clear some things up for me.
1) Hard surface tires, are they solid rubber or do they take air? If they take air, what would the tire pressure be?
2) Were do I get these tires? Keep in mind I'm in Mexico so I'll have to search out a place here, but what I'm asking is do I go to a normal tire shop or an ATV dealer/parts house? I haven't checked the Can Am shop in Puerto Vallarta yet.
3) Will I have to change rims?
It has been suggest from ATVers living here that it is just the front tires that need to changed. Any thoughts?
Thanks for any advice about this.
