Front Gearcase Oil Confusion.

Hi Everyone, i'm a newbie to the site. I have a 2004 Sportsman 500 HO. I have spent hours going through the threads. I have learned enough reading the threads to give me the confidence to switch from the expensive Polaris fluids to Mobil 1. I'm ready to switch out the front gearcase oil, but a little confused due to the year of my machine. Ive seen some threads that say you cant use the Mobil 1 ATF in the gearbox.

Can anyone confirm that its safe to use the Mobil 1 ATF on my 2004? Thanks in advance for the help guy's. John

New guy from Northwestern PA

Hello.

I purchased a (new) 2018 sportsman 850 sp back in December. It's my first atv, however I have some experience riding a 2004 honda. I picked the 850 because I am a heavier individual and I didn't want the atv to have any trouble with my weight.

I currently have 12 hours and 55 miles on it - it's kind of difficult for me to find legal local places to ride. Also, my mother's husband with the honda wants to ride with me, and the trailer I have is only big enough for one atv (and I don't have a truck) so that doesn't help. So we must trailer my atv to his parents house an hour each way where his atv is stored.

I've done 4 things to it so far other than that it's stock. Next winter I will be added heated hand grips and a plow, other than that I don't have anymore plans for mods.
-Winch with synthetic rope
-Hitch
-3rd brake light
-Light bar

New 570 EPS modification suggestions

Hello, new to the forum and recently just purchased a 2019 570 EPS sportsman, plan on using it mostly for hunting and riding around farm/hunt club, but also encounter some pretty muddy/wet situations working and riding in duck hunting impoundments, was wondering if there are any accessories or modifications that are a must have for this machine in these conditions? The parts I have already ordered when purchasing the machine are the following: 28x9x12 mega mayhem tires and front and rear Polaris utility metal racks. I am considering a 2� lift for the front and possibly a clutch kit if necessary. Thanks!

Carb/air filter question

Fires but won’t start. Seems like carb and dirty air filter issue. Recommendations if this sounds correct and where to purchase both online? Thanks

Outlander tail light assembly roval

Hey folks, anyone on here remove the taillight assembly on an outlander? Are the tiny bolts above the tire a weird size? I have to remove assembly to tighten bolt on the plastic bumper piece.

(570) Kimpex Fender Flares

I just recieved my Kimpex fender flares in the mail today. I was hesitant on picking them up at first because I wasn't sure if I was going to like them with the rear bumper spacing... but ordered them anyway. We just finished installing them, easy install and I think they look pretty good and practical as these Bearclaws like to throw around a lot of earth.

I will still have to remove the bumper eventually and add some spacers between the frame and bumper to bring the out from under the fender but where they are now they aren't flexing the flares.

Pretty happy with the product, seem very durable and flexible.
