Hello! I recently joined the Polaris family with a 2014 Sportsman 850 Touring. It's nearly new, only 30hrs and 200ish miles. So far I'm loving it, and my wife is loving the comfy backseat!

I had a couple questions that hopefully someone here can help with.

1. There is a whine coming from the front left, it gets worse when climbing a hill and is present in neutral when rolling w/engine off. Any thoughts on what to look for or try first?

2. Is there an easy trick to cleaning the undercarriage? It seems to get grass and such stuck up there and the drainage holes aren't big enough to let it out. Just elevate it and dig around I guess?

3. Would anyone happen to have the service manual I could get a copy of? Can't seem to find it online anywhere!

Thanks in advance, look forward to talking with you all!

Hey all, so dirtbikes are going away and now snow is kicking in and ATVs start coming out :) so, this will be a dedicated snow atv essentially and I usually ride in deep snow to hardpacked snow.

I was looking at kenda executioner, issue is I have a 570..not sure if I have an interest to get a 1000 down the road or not but this will do for now.

was hoping someone has actual feedback on snow with these tires?

so far I am deciding between these 3

Antifreeze keeps draining from radiator to overflow jug. Does not go back into radiator, I have to add antifreeze every time I ride. Could it be that the radiator cap is loose? I dont know, Please Help! It only overheated once, it wasnt bad at all, but when I take it for short rides, the antifreeze squirts out of the overflow bottle.

I have a 2004 Sportsman 400 with the 4wd not working, although it says it’s on on the speedometer cluster. I bought it that way a couple years ago from a guy who said his dog tore at the wires by the cluster years back, he replaced the harness but it still didn’t work and never got around to actually fixing it. I haven’t needed 4wd until now as I am looking to put a plow on this thing. I took apart the speedometer and everything looks and works ok there and even took off the front panel to look at wires under that and I followed all the wires and everything looks ok. I am finding no fuses anywhere.....it’s got pretty low hours and miles on it for being an 04....anything I should check that I haven’t described above?
