I have a 2003 sportsman 6x6 and chain is stretching, any recommendation of a choice for replacement? Does DID make a chain and sprocket for this application? Thanks

Has anyone or knows of anyone that has used the poliaris moveable tie down points on their 570. The dealer told me that they won’t work and they are only for the 850/1000. I was looking at my rear rack and I can’t see why it would work. I was hoping someone might have some info for me before o spent the money. Thanks

Is there any haggling with Insurance?
They are offering what I think is a LOWBALL price ($5475.00)for my
2015 850 SP .@1400 miles ,Blown engine,Great shape ,normal scratches.
Is there any dealing with them?

We are looking at planning a trip to KY Oct 2019 and I'm in the process of finding trails for us. Where we live there is 3k+ miles of park to ride but all I'm finding in central KY are "private" lands that you pay to ride (no biggie) but they are only a couple hundred acres and maybe 10-100 miles of trails (boring?).

Right now I've found -
- Rush Off Road Park
- Wild Cat Off Road Park
- Canmer ATV Trails

Any suggestions about good trails or parks would be greatly appreciated.

Just bought a 2007 650 outlander max 850 kms
Went over all fluids
Here is my problem - when the machine is cold the coolant reservoir is near empty
when I start the bike within 5 minutes of idle the reservoir fills to the max line
When I shut it off as it cools it draws back out of the tank till near empty.

If I fill the tank to max line when cold as soon as the bike starts warming coolant pisses out the top of the resevoir cap

What am I missing air in the system, bad rad cap ????

Thanks in advance for any responses

So I got a buddy selling his 2014 850 in the limited edition voodoo blue. Has about 220 hours and 2k miles on it. Runs great but definitely has cosmetic issues as far as cracked plastics and stuff. Needs wheel bearings and a arm bushings. He's offering to sell it to me for 3k, an I dumb for even considering not buying it??lol like I said, runs great just a little beat up haha

The Wifey got me these for my Birthday (which is in a few weeks, but I was impatient). These are 7 inches wide, but they are 4+3 offset, so now my track is 2" wider overall. I'm going to rock the factory tires for now, until they wear. Then I'm probably getting some 26" BigHorns. Can't wait to actually ride it and see if the handling improves.

Long time lurker, first time poster.

I've got a 1996 Sportsman 500. Took it out for the first time in a year yesterday and rode it pretty hard. When braking the front end rattles pretty aggressively. Sounds like its coming from the left side more so than the right side, but I could be mistaken. It starts when you begin engaging the front brakes but does continues through deceleration even when the brakes have been disengaged. Originally thought it may be brakes but calipers are brand new as are the pads, property installed and do not move even a mm when you try to move them by hand. Rotors aren't warped.

Could it be a bearing/U-Joint?

I'm sorry if this is a poor description but I'm not particularly mechanically inclined so I did my best. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
