sometimes when starting it the starter seems to still turn a little after letting the key go

Hi all,

First I'd like to say what a wonderful forum this is and thank you to all those who contribute here.

I am in the process of changing the rear inner cv joint on the aforementioned atv. I've run into a bit of a snag however.

I am unable to remove the joint off the axle and as far as I can tell there are no snap rings on the housing nor axle.

Here are some pics for reference. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

I’ve got a 2017 sportsman xp 1000 copper edition, beautiful machine love it , only hang up is it turns 2950 to 3100 rpm before the belt locks in , once in there’s no issues but like a lot say it’s impossible not to spin and can be difficult to load up easy , is this normal or should I be afraid I have bought another persons problem?

I like the idea of a folding trailer as we don't have TONS of storage space.

Folding trailer T2000BW (5x8) 1980lbs GVW (Galvanized) - I.B.W Inflatable Boat Warehouse Inc.

I assume that it will fit my outlander max (when I get it). Width of the outlander (2016) I believe is 46" and this guy is 5 foot wide.

Any positive/negative feedback on these types of trailers?
Any recommended manufacturers?

I'm located in Alberta, Canada.

Thanks!

I have a 2004 Sportsman 500 HO. It was manufactured in 2003. While the machine is running, you lose all electrical power. No power to the lights, winch, or speedo cluster. I’ve recently replaced the fan due to it being burnt out. While doing that it was found that the radiator thermal switch wires were broken/shorting, so new thermal switch installed. Then I was getting a battery light that would flash. Machine has new battery, and I found I was getting an over Voltage to the battery due to a bad voltage regulator (rectifier). That has been replaced, and no more over voltages. The one problem that remains is losing all electrical power. The machine keeps running when it happens. When electrical power is lost, if you turn off the ignition, you can’t restart the machine. Power usually comes back on its own within 40 sec to 1 minute. I’ve taken all the wire loom off and inspected all wires from the handle bars down through the head light pod into the hood area. No broken/chaffed wires found. Is there something I’m overlooking? Something I haven’t checked? Breakers in the bags? Is the speedo unit getting ready to take a dump? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

While i had the carb out i figured i should replace the choke/ enricher cable because old one was shot. After i installed this new one how do i no where to set the adjustment to? when i pull the lever up now to choke it it doesnt change anything i dont believe its doing anything, is there a way to verify if its set correctly?

Had to share this one, folks! We know the holidays are around the corner, and if there are fellow MX and ATV enthusiasts on the holiday shopping list this is a great way to make them happy on a budget. There are tees on the list for less than $14, Hoodies for as low as $25-30, cheap hats, and other smart buys.

Hi All, am new to the forum, and would greatly appreciate your knowledge and guidance for the following.

Am purchasing some country acreage for future retirement home building purposes (10-15 years from now), and am thinking an ATV is my best option for affordable land maintenance tasks. I just cannot justify spending $20-25,000 for a good tractor setup, for mostly just mowing, or paying someone for years to brush mow with their tractor.
Will be using the ATV to tow a (most-likely a DR Power brand) 52" brush mower, tow weed sprayer, trailer for tree maintenance / dirt / rocks cleanup, etc. The property is 25 acres, so much larger than what a riding mower could do.

The ATV simply won't be used barely 5-10% of the time, for getting out in woods, trails, etc.
Am looking at getting a used late-model Sportsman 570, or possibly a 450 HO. What do folks recommend?
(No, I don't think a UTV is the best item for me here, due to costs, and that I also am getting 10 acres of woods, that I'll be sporadically doing the noted 5-10% of maintenance through there) (using the Tow mower, I want to be able to turn around and monitor how it's running, the lines, etc (and there's a cable that runs to the ATV, to electronically adjust the mowing deck height, and a UTV would seat me too far forward))

Am confident that I'm going with a Polaris ATV, but all the Honda fan-boys from YouTube videos I've watched, sure do rag on the Polaris... Wow, seriously, some big-time haters out there!
I caught the 'reliability' Vote thread here on the site, and though there aren't a huge amount of reply votes there, it sure does seem that the Polaris products are good enough for what I need, and should last for years!

Thank you for your assistance in this pursuit, it is truly appreciated!

I have a 2015 Sportsman 570 under 300 miles. Only used for hunting and ice fishing.

The plastics are in perfect condition!!

I have white and would like CAMO. If anyone is interested in swapping please let me know.

Thanks!!!
