New 570 Sportsman Electrical Question

I have a new 570 Sportsman and was going to put a pigtail harness on the battery to connect my trickle charger. When I saw the location of the battery, I had second thoughts. So, I was wondering if I can use my accessory outlet on the dash pod and just plug in there to charge the battery? Haven't had time to check if that outlet is always hot or key switched. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Polaris Rider from Germany

Hello everybody,

my Name is Thorsten and live in Germany. Since 1 Week i´m a proud owner of a 2017 Scrambler 1000XP.
I´m enjoying riding my machine a lot. I was driving little ATV´s before but nothing comes close to the ride on my machine.

Power development is madness and you need to hold firm to the handlebar :)

Anyways, i hope that i can learn a lot from this forum as i have one or two technical questions for sure.


Thanks

Thorsten

Broke 800 SP Touring??

Wasnt sure which board to post this on as there is no 800 model specific group...
I got stuck yesterday in a mud hole with my wife and I riding. I engaged the 2 different AWD settings and the symbol illuminated on my display however I'm not getting any drive to my front end (best I could tell as the tires didnt spin and I was still stuck) Also to note, the engine when trying to reverse would 'pulse'? instead of giving me full power? I pressed the rev limiter over ride and it seemed to help SOME but still unable to go wide open throttle... Just purchased used 2010 last weekend and it could quite possibly be broke although it wasnt advertised as such :/ Could be something as simple as operator error as I do remember reading to be sure to engage the AWD BEFORE you think you may need it as something to do with the sensors and wheels slipping blah blah blah HELP!! Any one ran in to this issue and was it because my rear wheels were already spinning? Another thing I notice is a slight 'click' as I 'jab' the throttle. Possibly worn front U Joint?

Hi I’m jim glad to be here

I have an 03 bombardier 650 quest. Push start button just stopped working. The lights work high and low beam. The on postion switch is on when I push it nothing. Battery charged up can jump from starter solenoid. Just nothing from the push button. I cleaned all electric connections.

99 Sportsman 500

New to the forum and clueless about ATV’s I just bought a 99 Sportsman 500 RSE. The odometer, hour, and trip doesn’t work. I took off the hall speed sensor and cleaned it and put it back on but for some reason I can’t find out how to view the odometer, hour, or trip. I read something about the yellow over ride button and tried some things with that but have had no luck. Help would be great. Thanks.

Plow Blade at Angle

My search couldn't in the answer, so I shall ask here. Looking for a plow blade, that angle, will measure 36 inches to plow residential sidewalks. I read here that a 50 inch blade would work but then would clear the snow from th path of the tires.
I was hoping that a 52 or 54 inch blade, at angle, will suffice.

I guess I can always buy an extra trip edge and cut it to the proper length.

Any suggestions?

I also am researching plow systems. As I need a winch for my 550 EPS, I was looking at the Glacier System and Warn system with front mount so I may also get a front loading bucket at some point in the future. I do need a heavier blade for backdragging.

Thanks in advance for the tips.
