So I bought a used 2014 Polaris Sportsman 570 EFI knowing that it needed work. The guy told me that it had a knock in the motor and sent me a video of it running and it sounded fine. Well, I get it home and go to start it and it makes a terrible screeching and knocking noise and will run for maybe a second or two making this noise and then everything shuts off. Sometimes it wont even start. Could this be something in the top end or bottom end or maybe if at all a simple fix? I guess its time to dissect it after i get off work.
’17 Sportsman 850SP Brake Problems
*2016 Sportsman, typo in the title*
Anyone else had issues with rocks/sticks getting in between the rims and brakes on their sportsman? For the second time now I've had the brake caliper mount and brake pads wrecked from it. The first time is happened to the front right side, this time now the front left did it. Along with my trouble with it, someone else I know with a '15 1000xp had a rock break through his rim from the same thing by a rock jamming between the caliper and rim. This is obviously a design flaw from my perspective, I'm just curious now if many others here have had similar issues.
Damage from the first time:


And from this second time on the other side, wrecked the pads, caliper mount and also gouged the rotor requiring a new one:

Got an 08 sportsman and may need to haunt the forums and ask questions.

RZR vs. Sportsman bolt pattern
I'm looking at a set of wheels and tires off of a 2009 RZR 800 and need to know if they have the same bolt pattern dimension as my 2015 Sportsman 570 EPS. Can anyone verify? Thanks

Engine swap
Hey just wondering if anyone knows if I could swap a 2009 renegade 800 engine and tranny into a 2005 outlander 800 frame? Thanks in advance
New member, need help identifying GF’s Polaris
Hey all, glad to be here. When my girlfriend moved in with me last year she brought her quad with her and I've been trying to get it back up to spec. She had bought it a few years ago from a friend and the number plate with the serial number had been previously damaged and is mostly missing. Based off the model number on the transmission I've figured out that it's an early 90's 250 2x4. I was just wondering if anyone could help me determine which model it is so that I can get the specs, wiring diagrams, etc and bring it back up to where it should be. Pictures attached below. Thanks in advance and happy 'wheelin :grin :grin
