So here is an odd request. I'm looking to compare renegade frames from 2012 and up. specifically the front radiator mount area. Care to share some pictures? Feel free to IM me and I can also send you an email address to send to as well.


This is the area I'm interested in. Any angle is fine and let me know if you have modified it in any way.





Thanks!

Hi all,

I'm sitting here typing with my left hand only because my right arm is broken and is in plaster and a brace, bruised ribs and bruises all over my body after a rollover 4 days ago. It happend on the road with low speed, all most no speed at all. I was stopped at a stop sign to take a left turn on a main road, so I take of as always but as soon I take the turn it was like my handlebar was pulling all the way to the left and that causes the rollover. My luck was that I have a big topcase on the back the protected me from the total weight of the quad. So the quad did a full rollover and landed to a on his left side. My luck was that there was no up cumming traffic because I was landed on the wrong side of the road since I did a full turn (like you would do a donought ). After a few seconds there was a friendly bus driver that stopped and helped me to get the quad back on his 4 wheels. The engine was still running and I was full of adrenaline and picked up all my stuff that was on the road and didn't realised that my arm was broken and drove home ( only a few miles ). When I was home I saw that he was leaking oil in the front , it comes from before the engine and drips on the main frame beam. It is not engine oil, any clue what oil it could be and what causes the problem for the rollover. The outlander is a 2012 MAX ltd model.

Hey guys, noob here.

While searching some new Polaris models, I was trying to figure out why the touring was always so much more expensive. It couldn't just be for a seat. The touring showed (online anyways) the wheelbase was 5.5 inches longer, and overall length 3 inches longer if I remember correctly. Is there any benefit or drawbacks to this?

I'm looking towards a machine for plowing, help around the house, and fun of course. But I really don't need the second seat...

What's your thoughts?

Earlier tonight, I was riding out of the woods after riding with some friends. As I was coming down the trail, my sportsman started acting funny. It started with the instrument cluster going out and the headlights diming. If I cut the headlights off, the cluster would come back on and I noticed that it was saying low voltage (around 9.8). I attempted to get out of the woods but it just died and would not start back up. Now, I purchased this Sportsman 570 in September brand new from my local dealer and I have a hard time believing that the battery would die in just 4 months. After we were able to tow it out of the woods, we hooked it up to a battery charger and after about 10 minutes it started back up but shortly died. Has anyone had an issue like this? I've heard of the issues with the voltage regulators being an issue but I'm not sure if it would be that or just a defective battery. Any suggestions?

Does anybody know if there is anyone else who sells radiator relocate kits for 570 efi other than the highlifter or wild boar kits?

Hey so was riding my 650 one day went over some bumps the whole bike shut down , okay not a big deal , tried boosting it and it worked searched the bike top to bottom sure enough it was a poor ground , in the mean time I went through every plug in and wire , so now that's all good I started riding again more and starting got weaker every time over a matter of five starts , then wouldn't start at all , took the battery out opened it up eventually and it was dry as a bone , I got warranty tried it again , same thing battery went dry , once again I did the same all over again the other day literally 5 minutes of riding the battery went dry , why !? I'm sure this is over charging if I'm not mistaken but why ??

What a great day! We had an inversion that melted a lot of the snow we already had up high the last few weeks, BUT, it snowed enough yesterday to get an awesome ride in that was way better than we expected. Watch for the little oops part way through. Gotta remember to watch where you're going when filming. Doh!

Hey all!! I was getting ready to head up north (Adirondacks) with my 2017 450HO Sportsman for the winter and I went to load up my quad and it will not start. It turned over and fired right up first try then died. Fired up again enough to pull it out of the garage to let it warm up and it died. Then, I tried to start it again and it just kept turning over and over and would not start. It was fine a week ago when I rode it. It has been between 10* and 30*F here in Rochester, NY and I store the machine in my garage out of the elements. After trying to start it several times, battery voltage dropped to 10.6 and said LO next to the batter voltage so, I took my jumper box and hooked it to the battery and, of course, it turned over faster but still did not start. The maintenance light is now on and it still will not start. I can hear the fuel pump as well. The machine has 34hrs on it as well and was recently service by the dealer for the original break in oil change etc.

Any thoughts here? It's currently delaying me leaving and, if something is broken, I want to be sure to take it back to the dealer because the warranty ends in 6 days. I imagine it has something to do with the cold but, I would also think that, by using my jumper box, it would not have a problem starting. The maintenance light turning on is what mostly concerns me now at this point. Any help is dearly appreciated! Thanks a bunch:)

My clutch seems to engage very late in my opinion.
In High, it will start moving the bike around 2300RPM.

Just wondering if this is normal? Also that the low end power seems to be lacking? The front end will not come off the ground if I try?

Thanks in advance.
