I couldn't buy just one..... green one is 2016 and camo one is 2014. My girlfriend and I went out to the Wayehutta trail system in the US Forest in NC first weekend out. I initially just got the camo one for me to use hunting. Picked it up for the low price of $3500

What are the differences between the 1000 vs 850 ? I know 90hp vs 77hp .I've noticed 1000 has dual rear rotors,. 850 had single rear rotor ..but any other difference ? I test drove a 2018 850 feels smaller then the older 850's...do the 1000 and 850 share same frame,,axles ,, components ?

For those of us looking for more power but don’t want to give up our ECU’s for tuning, RVS now offers the ability to tune your own bike via a handheld tuner.
I have extensive experience with Mobile Tuning in the automotive sector and love this method of tuning.
This is not a plug and play, piggy back style tuning. This allows you to physically tune your ECU as if it were a bench tune.

Purchase the handheld device. Plug it in, pull your factory tune from your bike, save to your laptop, e-mail the file to RVS, they will reconfigure based on the stage you select, e-mail the tuned file back and you upload that into your bike.
Very fast download of 10 mins and very fast upload of 15 mins.
So in my case, stage 2, for $479 and 25-30 mins of my time, I gain 10 wheel hp.

This will be my next mod.

Big thanks and shout out to RVS for bringing us reliable mods!

04 sportsman 600 with an rm stator upgrade. Was running great until i crashed it. I rebuilt the carb a few months ago along with a ton of new parts including intake and exhaust manifolds along with gaskets. Will not fire. It is getting gas.. too much in my opinion because after a few cranks the intake boot is wet with gas. Been through the carb twice already and even swapped with another and get the same end result. Spark is there but cant tell if it is hot enough. Compression is even at 160 per cylinder. Scratching my head now

Hey I am new to the site recently purchased a 2000 Polaris Sportsman 500. The speedometer would work intermittently (suddenly the needle would just continue to make a full resolution and then not work at all). Did some research and read that if the reverse override and 4wd work than it points at hall effect switch. Replaced it still does not work back light works, odometere reading shows but obviously does not work, and hour meter works. Don't really wanna spend the 300-400 for the speedometer like I have been seeing any ideas or testing procedures that you guys have ran into?

Had the great opportunity once again to get out and share some of our favorite trails with our dear friend that has cancer, family, and out of state friends. We crammed 4 rides into the last two weekends even managing 2 in one day two weekends ago. Even though we are getting smoked out from the fires in California and Idaho, we didn't let that stop us from getting out and having a wonderful time on our mountain trails. Friends traveled in from Central North Dakota for their first ever mountain trail ride and didn't want to leave when it was time. The best part about that is that means they will want to come back by then hopefully we can find more new trails that we want to share. We managed to get to two mountain lakes, an old fire look out tower (now available for dry camping), and one of our favorite rides that takes us up to huge open areas on top of mountain ridges between the Lone Mountain Peak ski area of Big Sky and the West Entrance to Yellowstone National Park. This last Saturday was awesome as most of the smoke was absent from the area and as an added surprise they extended the two track trail another 2 miles to get us up onto the top of another ridge for spectacular view of our Rocky Mountains. Was able to get our two Can Am 570's out, are really enjoying the 2-up, I don't think the power steering is working like it should so will get it into the dealer soon. Hope you enjoy the photos. FF

Has anyone tried them and was it worth the money

So this is why I don't by used cars and trucks. 2001 xplorer 400. Got everything running really good now the battery is not charging. I put the meter on it reeved it up to 3000 to 4000 rpms like the book says. It should have jumped up to 13 plus volts. It did not change. What is the normal things that go to make it not charge. Easiest to fix, change to hardest. I haven't cleaned any of the contact points up yet. I believe is was charging because I haven't had to charge the battery at all since if got it running. Had to a few times while I was working it but not in awhile. Let me know what y'all think

When I got my 2016 outlander max, I was VERY impressed on how well the visco lok worked compared to my 2005. This last weekend I took it out and it wasn't working at all! I had one front slightly off the ground while the other front wheel was planted hard on the ground. The one in the air just kept spinning and never got my up the obstacle. I LOVE 4 wheeling this thing and I have praised how well the visco lok worked in the past. Anyone know why it would suddenly stop working and what I should check?

Got a 2015 sportsman 570 wondering how often should the coolant be flushed out and replaced?
