This is my first post here, and it's because I have been contemplating purchasing a pair of 570 EPS units for my wife and self. This will only be for recreation, and very little mud (although I will purchase a Viper winch for my machine).

I had a Scrambler in 01, and occasionally rent. I have decided on the Sportsman 570 as it has the best value in suspension, storage, and parts prices vs other machines.

Now that being said, One of the things I have found is some dealers have some 2018's available. The only difference besides color, is the boasting of a new high output power steering. If I go into the part numbers for the steering, I don't see a different part number between the 2018 vs 2019 model years.

The other thing-When does Polaris release the new models? I think it's right around the corner (and therefore, possible better rebates!),

Thanks!

So I put a headlight wiring kit from LMC Truck on my '96 Cherokee that circumvents the normal wiring and runs the headlights directly off the battery by way of a relay. The kit runs the lights at 55/100 (low, hi) watts instead of the original 55/60. One reason I did this was because the light output was terrible, and the other was because for some unknown reason the headlights would shut off after being on hi for a bit. Never did this on low. I've had the new wiring kit on for a few years now and it seems to have solved the issue.

The problem I'm having now though is that this new harness is melting at one of the connections...



You can see only one of the wires is overheating while the other seems to be ok. I'm guessing the hot one is used by the high beams.

What could be causing this? Could it be related to why the high beams used to shut off before I replaced the wiring harness? A while back I asked about the shutting off issue on a number of Jeep boards but nobody had heard of this particular problem before.

Have a 2018 Polaris 110 outlaw rear brakes not stopping tighten al way up all the way,nothing happens Atv three months old !

im looking for the bolt that belongs on the left side front of the valve cover . just noticed it was blowing out there.

Happy Dads Day to all the Fathers on the Forum.

I hope the kids pooled there money and got you a new ride!!!

Did the 2006 450 come with more than one carb option? I guess my real question should be is there a repair kit for it/them? What about aftermarket carbs? Are any of them decent? I see a lot of them on amazon.

Hey Guys,

I am not sure where to look but my EPS light is now on and I have no EPS, I installed a new battery not sure if this happen before or after installing the new battery (old battery was dead) the battery reads 13.58 volts. Any ideas on what I should check out.

Thanks,

i have a 2007 sportsman 800 that i just purchased. ti has 1500 miles. i was having an issue with a low to mid throttle hesitation, but would run perfect above 1/2 throttle. i checked tps and it seemed to check fine. i replaced the plus, no change. i read all the post of wiring issues so i stared pulling wires and the black wire pulled out of the tps. i ordered a new tps and harness, got a harness for the tbap as well, and also ordered a new fuel pump kit with regulator just to have on the shelf. i put new tps on and cant get in to spec, turned all the way and my base voltage was still low. so i dremel the mounting hole on tps so i can rotate enough to get base voltage. finally get that set set idle screw voltage and reassemble. quad starts right up idle is still uneven but the hesitation in low to mid throttle is gone. so i let it run for a while, all of a sudden it back fires and quits. it will start back up but the idle is unstable and it quits. so now i am thinking tbap. check codes no codes. hey i have the harness ill put it in. replace harness and still have same problem. check for codes and now have code 45. erase codes, run it at idle pops, uneven idle and quits and sets code 45 again. quad runs fine off idle just wont idle. could the tbap sensor be bad? i replaced harness with otb 14" harness. i have otb tps harness, and i just ordered another tps sensor from otb. (1st tps sensor was not otb). i check wires going to tbap. i have ground on pin 1, 5v ref voltage on pin 3, the return wire never changes when the quad is running. it reads 4.03v with quad running, or off, or at 300rpm. this value should change with vacuum. so now im thinking bad tbap sensor? any ideas

Hi Folks,
I have a 2016 Sportsman 570 SP 2 up and wondering if there is anything I can do to upgrade the rear suspension for increased weight.. between me, my wife, two medium sized dogs and their custom seat we are pushin that poor little quad to the 650-700lb mark and its looking a little sagged in the rear end... we dont usually do any crazy riding, just mostly tour the forest service roads in our area.. any info on a rear suspension upgrade in Canada would be great! Thanks in advance!

Hi there,

I was going to replace the rubber cover on my gear selector today on my 2000 Sportsman 500 and while attempting to get the screw out under the cover of the shifter knob, the head of the screw snapped off. I was hoping that someone knows the size of the screw so I can pick up one locally instead of ordering one online? It is screw number 7512024.

Thanks!
