While the forums are full of threads on these and other issues, I have not really seen a lot of threads with these issues on the 17s....are they better?

I just did a test ride on a 2017 XP1000 and there is simply not another atv I have ever been on that compares. I really tried to like the 570 touring (the reason I went to the dealership today) sitting next to it but the seat is nowhere near as comfortable and the floorboards are about 1/2 the size.

The power is insane yet with the 3 mode throttle you can turn it down for steep technical crawling around.

How are you 2017 owners liking you XP1000s? Which version (standard or LE) do you prefer?

It idles great but when you give it throttle it dies I've tried all I can think of and Im going insane and now to make things better there's oil and smoke coming from the exuast manifold

Hello,My name is Tom and I am a young 76 (hopefully). I just purchased a 2017 CAN-AM Outlander 650 MAX and am looking forward to using. I enjoy fishing also through the ice and hunting. I purchased a 2up so that I can take a buddy (or my wife) with me.
I retired from a insurance company and held the position of Facility Manager and then went on to work at a small college holding the position of Director of Physical Plant.
There I am in a nutshell. Looking forward to reviewing some of your posts and learning as I go. I will join in when I think I know something that will help.
Take care and hope your rides will be as enjoying as I am sure mine will be.
Tom

Apparently the brilliant minds in the Polaris Engineering Dept havent been able to figure out a cooler carrying solution for the 1000XP Touring model yet so this is what I came up. What do you all think?

I need help getting a new trailer for my sportsman 570 touring. I am looking at a Big Tex or PJ trailer thats 83" wide and 14' long. It has side ramps but I don't know if I would be able to put the touring sideways on this trailer. Does anyone know if this would fit? I was looking at this trailer in the hopes I could fit two touring ATV's on it as my buddy has a 1000 Can Am. I think it would be too tight loading both from the rear gate.

We have a 1000 commander and I'm active on that forum but I wanted to join here too as a lot of the mechanicals are the same or similar between the atvs and sxs's. Plus I like the atvs too!

Hi guys. This is my first post. I'm from Elkhart, IN and I bought a new 2017 Sportsman 570 in Camo last week and was wondering if there's anything specific I should be aware of? Any suggestions and tips will be much appreciated.

I just bought a new HD8 XT and had the full windshield installed at the dealership. My wife and I took it for a ride the other day and it got really hot in the seating area. I don't have a back window installed and this is a non cab unit. Right behind the seats seems to get really warm. Would installing a back window help? Or what do you guys suggest. I don't want to go with a half windshield because of the bugs hitting you when driving at night.

Howdy! Been looking to replace my Arctic Cat 400 manual shift FIS with something with a bit more power. Never had a CanAm but was surprised that I can buy a 570 Outlander for the same price as an AC 700 VLX. Outlander has a bit more power too and a 1" longer wb. My latest project has been putting an intercooler and turbocharger on my Arctic Cat 700 SD Diesel, yup, I said diesel. I should have it done in a week. I don't think I'll ever sell the diesel, it was already a monster after I maxed out the fuel and advanced timing. Can't wait to drive it with 15 psi of boost. Top speed will be governed at 50 something, as it has a 4300 rpm governor. I already folded up a 72" Cycle Country plow last winter with it, it should be dangerous with boost.
