For those of you that have followed Polaris closely , can you tell me if there was any changes between 2016 and 2018 With the 570 Sportsman

So, @rutcutter and I bought our XP1000's at different times and from different dealers. We use independently sourced fuel; he usually ~110 Octane Ethanol free and me usually PURE88 Ethanol Free. We've tried additives, Seafoam, etc - thinking maybe we both somehow managed to get bad fuel, but we're convinced our simultaneous and EXACT same issues are not fuel, but instead filter or fuel pump related.

Symptoms:

Bombing down the trail, any terrain, any speed and after ~30 miles, it will start acting like its fuel starve. Sometimes you can feather the throttle a little and keep it going, but its very lurchy. In most cases, once that symptom begins, usually you get a backfire or two, then the machine just comes to a slow stop and stalls. Fix seems to be, wait a few seconds, turn the key forward, listen to the fuel pump cycle and start it back up. Usually this is good for another ~5 miles before the stall occurs again.

I phoned in the VIN to Polaris, but they claim no recalls, no known TSB's or issues. We're both under 2000 miles on the bikes at this time.

Ideas?

Hi all, when the going is good, I usually surf here to see who has issues with what and I try to help, well, now im the one who is lost and helpless! few months back had an issue with awd not engaging, took the diff out and examined it and the only thing I noticed was the top potion of the cage came separated with the body. ordered a new aluminum cage with rollers and springs, installed it,put everything back together, tested it in 2wd, back wheels only spin, put it in 4x4 and once the rears begin to slip, the front engage, ok perfect! so im outside today in 2x4 and realize I cant fishtail or do donuts, the front wheels grab as if it were in 4x4.. I do notice tention in the eps in 4x4 but also frees up when 4x4 is disengaged. is the awd supposed to kick in everytime it senses rear wheel spin even in 2x4? or do I have a different issue? any help is appreciated!

Thinking about buying the 570 xmr was wondering if there are any common issues and what to expect I mainly ride mud and deep water so I know I will need snorkel extensions grease all electrical plugs...main question is will it be able to turn 31in outlaw OG stock?

Thanks for the add I used to have an 07 outlander 650 few hondas in between looking to get the 2019 Outlander 570 xmr

Is a 250$ power commander really necessary when installing a big gun exhaust on my '16 polaris sportsman 570?

Bought 2003 quest. $1000. nice condition, no cracks or anything broken. the guy I bought it from gave me the receipts for having engine rebuilt recently.
but it still would not start. he gave up on it.

I removed clutch cover and it turns easy by hand.
cranked with starter and noticed wires going into engine at secondary clutch area were hot and smoking.
when I disconnected the wires engine cranks fast like it should.
there are 3 wires. white, brown and green/yellow into motor.
I thought they may go to magneto/stator coil.
I googled it and found something saying secondary lock circuit. I don't know what that is unless that is some kind of engine brake thing?
does anyone know what the wires go to?
do I have to pull the stator cover side of engine?

funny thing is, wires only seem to be getting hot from where they exit engine to connector.
do not know why pic is upside down

Thanks for the add I have a 2014 canam renegade 500 stock for now.

wondering if there is a safe bypass to power rear fan. Fan works, but does not run, and shuts down when hot. I have seen posts where a switch can be added to wires from temp sensor.(temp sensor replaced also.)
Thoughts welcome!

I have been creepin the forum for a few months now and I appreciate all the information out here. I decided today was the day I make an account and join the fun.

First question is something I cant seem to find much information on. Maybe it exist, and I just cant use the search too, if so please excuse.

Question - What are the pros and cons to the aftermarket aluminum footwells that clear "up to" 33 inch tires?

I am planning to do a new primary, and Elka Stage II, but I would like to increase tire size without adding a lift. Seems to me the footwells are the most logical solution, but yet I cant seem to find much info.
