I just removed two broken off bolts from a Polaris ATV metal rack extender using a torch. Simply 4 bolts hold rack extender to the plastic rack . Cant heat it so, if they break too bad.
After separating the parts, broken bolt end stuck up a little. Heated end of broken bolt and welded on some metal to build it up higher. Then heated surrounding threaded area to red hot.
Let it cool down, then touched candle wax to give it some grease. Grab onto welded bolt using vice grips and wiggle back and forth till it started to move and they came out. MUCH easier and quicker than drilling and tapping. AND will grease it or anti seize to prevent from rusting again.

I needed to remove it as it needs paint. it is getting rusty and glad I did this. The base of the extender was rusting into the plastic rack. But the idiot assembler did not use grease or anti seize on the bolts, so now I need to buy 2 new bolts. They seem to be metric.

Rear rack likely has rusted bolts too.

My wifes 2015 570 eps efi 20 hours, had a eps light, I replaced battery because the fault code was low voltage to source, sprayed all connections, check relays and fuses, read where it might need to be reflashed, its 500 miles to the nearest dealer and Polaris was no help, I finally cleaned and sprayed the main connections to the computer, and it cleared the code, now the steering feels sluggish, not like my machine, but better than when the light was on any ideas why?

Hi guys, my first post. Pleased to be here!

I've been looking at Outlander Max's for quite some time and am looking at a 2016 Can Am Outlander 570 MAX XT for sale, second hand.

I didn't initially give it much attention because from what I knew they had:

• Gimpy racks
• 2 headlights instead of 4
• No DESS

And if you look at the website, the picture shows this too. https://www.brp.ca/off-road/atv/outl...70-max-xt.html

Now the one I'm looking at has the new new racks, 4 headlights and a badge on it saying DESS. It looks to be a short physical key with perhaps some chip/coding on it.

Can any one explain why this 2016 that I am looking at has these things?

First question : Did the dealer add these things to get it out of the door or did the 2016 come with these things?
Second question: Are there any other big differences between the 570 and the 650?

Thanks! Added some pics too - everyone likes pics!

So I got the thumbs up from the wife for a utv purchase, went to my dealer and looked over their offerings. Loved the HD10 over others. Went and looked at specs though and saw only 72 hp WTF can am? Why can we hunters/farmers not get some 100 hp love?

Ordered a wild Boar front bumper for my 2014 commander DS.
Gonna mount a 5000 Badlands winch on bumper.
Will I need a winch mount bracket also or will it mount directly to the bumper?
Thanks for any input

Hi all, I have just bought a new to me 2010 800R Outlander. It has some problems to it that I would like to fix. In that repect I thought it might be a good idea to start here :)

First, I found a cut wire (see picture). It is ziptied to front diff just where the ribbed rubber ventilation ting is located. Black with two black wires inside. What can that be?

Secondly, I found a green and black 3 pin connector that is not connected to anything just behind (a little higher) See picture.

Thirdly, the DSP is dissconnected due to check engine light - Check DSP warning message in the display as soon as ignition is activated. I have found out that this is a normal failure on these machines, but I would like to try to fix it. Any hints on where to start looking for errors?

Thankful for any help :)

Hello Everyone!
I just picked up two 2014 Polaris Aces in the last 2 weeks, I bought one for myself, 2014 327cc, white, has 1,259km, has the Polaris aftermarket roof, and appears to be skid plated all the way through, not sure if that’s factory or not, in the first 3 days of having it, my wife test drive it, and loved it! So we sold her 2006 Arctic Cat 500 ATV, and bought another Ace....This one is also a 2014 327cc, 354miles, full wrap kit, MTX audio stereo, roof, front/rear bush guards, winch, and LED bar mounted on the front bush bar, and is also fully skidplated....it was going to be mine, but my wife loved the stereo!, so I’m taking all the bumpers/light bar off, and they are going on mine! Lol
This is my first time owning Polaris products, and took a leap of faith, my unit before this was a 2009 HammerHead 250SS, that I heavily modified, it was a cool machine, but it was time for something different, it was a buggy, and love the buggy style riding, which is why I loved the ace! And it has a cup holder (cheers!!)
I will post pics of my units before I bought the Aces, and pics of the Aces as well...
I live in Trail, BC, West Kootenays, just west of the Rockies....some great riding here, surrounded by mountains, lots of logging road/Trail/mountain riding, not very much dune/swamp riding....lots of rock/hardpack for the most part.....
I have been reading through forums about changing the fluids on these bad boys, and see a lot of people running:
-Rotella T6 5w40 in the engine
-Good Synthetic Transmission Fluid in front differential
-Good Synthetic 5w20 Motor Oil in Trannsmission/Rear Differential.....
It looks like this is a safe bet, anyone have any downfalls to running these fluids?
Thanx guys

Do any of you guys know what canam did to the 800 to make it a 850? Thanks.

Sportsman 500 rear brake pedal doesn't spring back up, easy fix ?
Also what would the value be, its clean with about 800 miles...asking 2000.00

2013 850 Touring. Bought bike used and did mods (Lift, Tires, snorkels, RAD RELOCATE). I have run the bike 30 mins to an hour 4 or 5 times. Went on ride last week, ran for about 30 mins, then it went gets hot goes into limp mode. Fan cycles 4 or 5 times before not working. So, parked and brought back. I replaced the ECT Sensor (thermistor) and the circuit breaker today. Ran it for 15 mins to get cycle again, but the fan never came on this time. Any ideals?
My radiator is clean, it gets hot because fan doesn’t come on. I unplug ECT Sensor with bike running anf fan kicks on. I have burned the system several times and raised front end 2’ to allow air to escape. I have swapped relays and know they’re good. I am thrown off because systems functions as it should for several cycles, then stops. Both hoses get hot. When it gets really hot it blows coolant back into overflow. If the thermostat itself was stuck, the fan would kick on, it just wouldn’t cool engine. What’s left to check? I did search the forum but none of the threads got past dirty radiator or thermistor. I appreciate your time in advance. Thx!
