I have a stock 2016 sportsman 450 HO and I am looking to upgrade some things on it. I want to get the most out of this bike and make it as fun as possible to drive. Finding parts for it seem kinda difficult for some reason. I am looking for an
Aftermarket exhaust and air intake for it and can't seem to find one. Do parts for a 570 fit on it fine? Such as an exhaust or intake. Also I plan on flashing the ecu after I do these upgrades to get the most power I can. Any thoughts on this ???

Riding my 2004 Polaris Predator 500 this weekend and noticed the engine cut out. I noticed the one-way oil valve bolt backed completely out!! Almost all the oil came out of the engine. engine would not start. I took the engine apart and noticed there was a huge score on the side of the sleeve and the piston. Would this cause the engine not to start at all not even a pop. I tried adding gas to the engine through the carburetor with a spray bottle without even a pop. confirmed I do have spark. I did not do a compression test with a tester. However it did blow my thumb out of the spark plug hole with no problem. I removed the head, checked all the valves, valves were perfectly fine. Valve seats were also fine. I am just wondering if the scored piston is something that will cause this problem entirely. Or if there is something else wrong. Prior to this I had no issues.

wondering whats everyone running for clutch kits,in my 2010 850 i ran daltons kit with 28 zillas seem decent still loss some bottom and top end tho,planning on doin the same to my 12 850,runn 28s tires,not full on mudding just all around performance kit i would like to try thanks scott

yes i recently bought 2012 850 xp eps limited was a steal of a deal with only 1800 kms,with that being said before i went to look at it i was assuming it was 850 HO,when get tho i do not see the little HO sticker maf date says 01/11/11,i thought anything made after the 6 month would of been next years model?i had the 2010 850xp eps treated me well with 7500 miles,i know the intake is different is there a clear way to tell or does it have to be made in 2012 thanks scott

Sorry for all the newbie questions. I just upgraded my old 2007 Outlander 500 XT to a SLIGHTLY used 2016 Outlander Max 1000R. My old machine came with a wired winch remote. I don't see anything like that on my new one. Does it exist and I just haven't found it yet or no remote available? Thanks.

Hi all I have a 2012 sportsman 400ho. Today while riding with low beams on and a mixture of high and low range the battery light would flash. If I shut the lights off it would stop flashing. I had one time when I shut the machine off and it barely restarted. Ride the rest of the day without lights on and no more batter light and it fired right up each time without an issue.
Any ideas??? Thank you

Hope all are having a great Independence Day. Question, should the fuel pump on 2014 sportsman run constant when disconnected from the fuel rail or just a few seconds like mine?

Any harm in removing the plastic shields that cover the motor on a 1000 Outlander XT Max? I hate to see that big beautiful engine hidden behind black plastic:smile What holds them on before I go pulling on stuff?
